LAST NIGHT'S BOXING

There Was Plenty Of Class But No Howlers Among The Schoolboys

By OUR BOXING REPORTER

The Missions to Seamen has an unique reputation in the realm of local boxing. Within its precints many fine shows have been staged but I doubt if there has ever been one that brought greater satisfaction to the contestants and to the spectators than did the Schoolboys' programme that was staged last night.

Once again the officials of the Missions and the Royal Nayy had things well controlled and the timely decision to move the ring into the main hall on account of the uncertain weather was a most popular one.
