Terry

Old

Considered Spinks Not Enough To Fight For A Professional Title

By DEREK JOHN

London.

This week I present the strange caso of the chorubic Terry Spinks, golden hope-and problem boy—of British boxing. Spinks is the champion who is too young to be a champion. At the age of 18 he was old enough to thrash some of the best amatour flyweights in the world to win an Olympic gold medal at Melbourne.

But now, though he is almost 20, Terry Spinks is not considered old

enough to fight for a professional boxing title,

South African promoters have cabled him the offer, of an Empire fly- weight title fight in Durban against champion Dennis, Adams, But the rules of the British Boxing Board of Control prevent him from

accepting.

Teddy Waltham, the Board's Test Secretary, explains: "Not only Now

Is

this ruling a fair one for the cockney sparrow of the prize ring, who is now undefeated in 11 professional contests?

Spinks's father saya: "It's probably a good rule to protect the kids. But eight-rounders have certainly never worried Terry,"

Opposite Corner

And that famous ex-champian Kid Berg takes an opposite corner to Secretary Waltham, Too young at 187", he says. "Fighters

"When I was 10 I'd beaten many European champlona, in- cluding Andre Roulls, Inter World Featherweight Champion, and three British Champions, Johnny Curley, Johnny Cuth- bert and Harry Corbett,"

Berg was only 15 when he won three fights, totalling 40 rounds, in eight days. That this did him no subsequent harm was shown by his glittering record in America, where be beat four World Champions-Routis, Kid Chocolate, Tony Canzoneri, and Mushy Callaghan. And Ted could sull fallen them near the end of his 20 years in the ring. But Berg was an exception. In nine cases out of ten push- ing a teenager into the big- time could ruin his.. fighting future by destroying his con- fidence or his health.

Strain And Worry

'Cup

Max Faulkner, Ryder gulfer and former British Open champton, has one pet dislike- golf. "I hate the game," he says, "The strain and worry is turning my hair grey."

So, at the age of 48, Max is planning to pack up golf in two yeurs' time. He has one sm- bition to achieve before he re- tires; to retain his place in Britain's Ryder Cup team, Aller beating the Americans at home Just year he would like to beat them on their own ground in 1959.

Golf has been good for Max- and Max, a day and colourful charcter, has been good for golf. But he would much prefer to spend his time fishing.

Max is now preparing to go into the caravan business in a big war.

Nino holes of the scaside golf course which he and his father own in Sussex are 20-acre being turned tuto a holiday caravan site, compleio with shops, games rooms, tenuls courts, and a golf driving range. The comp opens in the sum- mer with room for about 150 Eventually there caravana, should be room for 200, Then Mnx, who has his own family caravan on the altc, will devote all his time to the camp and fishing. He already has his own bont and lobster pota.
