I have heard diverse opinions, some say he is better than Stripp others that he is not early so good. He did not bat but I hear he is not an expert with the willow. Bowker was not bowling well, but he does not usually keep a patch long. Owen Hughes hit merrily and Mitchell took a pretty catch at third slip. (I saw about his batting. It has been said that that.) There are very divergent opinions.

SATURDAY'S TOURNAMENT AT THE CITY HALL,

CHANCES OF THE CONTESTANTS DISCUSSED.

[BY CADOFYDD.]"

The first boxing tournament of the Benson under the auspices of the Hoag kong Boxing Association will be staged at the City Hall on Saturday night. The programpe is certainly an excellent one, and in each of the six fights, the contests should be very keen. I anticipate the Theatre Royal will be crowded.

The trouble is that the good bowler knows enough to spot the bad methods and use, them to the batman's undoing. Hankey was useful, but I doubt if he is good enough to warrant inclusion at this late hour on his form,

I believe the fight will go the fall dis tance. Ewin should win, but with not much to spare.

Baker and Underwood...

The 10-round lightweight contest be- tween Leading Seaman Baker, of H.M.S. Hermes, and Ldg. Tel. Underwood, of H.M.S. Woolton, should be almost as interesting as the big fight.

Baker has boxed bere several times. He fights tirelessly, and cas, take and give with the best. He, however, hasn't got a really good "punch.

Underwood is a newcomer. He is an Imperial Serviers Champion, runner-up in several Imperial Services and Navy Championships, and a few years ago lost to Jim Cartlidge on points. At that time Cartlidge was almost at his best. But not having seen Underwood, fighting, it is scarcely possible to judge his chances against Baker. On his record, however, he should win.
