Former Olympic Boxer Retires
Way back in American fistic history there was a "terrible" Terry McGovern. He hailed from Philadelphia. There is another" "terrible" Terry parading in the boxing ring these days Terry Downes and he comes from London's Paddington.

Back in his native London he turned professional and has won 12 of his 13 fights. He la casily the best young prospect in Britain and that goes, too, for Terry Spinks and quite the finest middleweight England has produced since the heyday of Randolph Turpin. Old Glant: St. Stephen's CCc:
Leveque was not one of those cosy Continental "push-overs" but Downes destroyed him with a series of murderous right hand punches to the jaw body. The only trouble is that Terry leaves himself open, and the Frenchman once made his jaw sag. MeAteer would have made greater profit from
A better middleweight by far than the much lauded Roa Bar- ton, whose meteoric risc was only equalled by his speedy eclipse. Downes has a lot to learn. For one thing, he must curb his impetuosity, or else it will lend him into trouble some day. He must control his wild swinging. Nevertheless, he has the punch of trip hammer, chance, and in his latest contest at Shoreditch he stopped Serge. Leveque in four rounds.

London.
Are the Olympic Games becoming too unwieldy and expensive? Five years of planning and about two and a half years of preparation-not to mention a little matter of about £49,000,000—went into the XVIth Olympiad at Molbourno. It was a desperate race against time for the organisers. They won the race but only after many anxious moments caused by financial difficulties and a series of strikes. Now it seems this process will be repeated in Rome, scene of the 1960 Olympiad. Work on the building of an Olympic village has been delayed by a dispute among the various authorities involved.
