For another it is a difficult job even for a first class cricket coach. There are very few men here competent and Hayward occur to me, and per- haps a few more-but not many.
The Question Of Good Gosching.
I frankly confess that I do not see how the matter in to be dealt with But I am convinced that it would be greatly for the good of Hong Kong cricket in the future. if some arrangement rould be devised whereby selected boys in their last year or so at school could get some really good cunching. I] trust I am not seeming to be un- generous to Mr. Youngsaye; for the work he has done and will do is simply invaluable. It representa the preparing of the subject matter. What I am after is the final polish- ing. There is excellent material in Anderson, Taui Wai Pui, R. Lee, and perhaps the younger Zimmern, But they have a lot to learn yet, and if they don't get taught they will become mediocre League bats. If they do, they might well develop into good Interporters. The case of Fincher is a good example, He lacked tuition almost entirely and he has had a desperate struggle to make good as an interport man. He has done it by patience. Fut had he been really well reached between the age of 15 and 17 years he would have been a far superior bat. It is bats of the Brace and Hayward type that we want to pro- duce,

The Club were without Pearce and Hancock and actually were one man 'short' when they met the Navy at King's Park. The latter side came out ueurly at full strength with Dale and Hunt back. They still lack their best bowler, Thomson, who damaged his left wrist very badly during the recent Rugger Interport at Shanghai. He will not be fit to turn out for some time 1 um afraid. The Club bowling did not prove good enough and they lost the match badly. Their batting also was not up to form, and they seemed to be suffering from" end of the season" staloness,

Tex Rickard is undoubtedly the" biggest man in the boxing world to-day-indeed be is almost a Trust tato himself already. Bat this," and the fact of his coramercial ability, does not destroy the sport- ing side of boxing; on the contrary, it gives this side of it even more prominence.
No "Framing " Of Fights. Neither the American public ner the Press would stand for whole- sale framings," and Rickard is far too good a business man to per-
it such a thing. Boxare over here are regarded just as we in England regard a racehorse or a greyhound. and they are taught, trained, and ared for gent ally so that they may obtain as mich money for themselves and their principālı ax can be obtained in the open innrket.
Asking For Trouble: Everyone who has any interest in boxing most at some time ar another have become involved in discussion over the comparative failure of British borers in America, and nearly everyoe ber a different theory on the subject.
My own view is that the 'present method of training and managing boxers in England is totally un- státable in its results when a man is sent over to America, and that t asking for trouble to expect, him to box with much success until he is thoroughly acclimatised which takes; say, at least three months.
While on this subject I might mention that American trainers place great importance on the water question. Willis Smith was only permitted one glass of 'New York water a day for some time after his arrival, his usual drink being a good bottled water. Un- fortunately the same precautionis were not observed when he went to Cleveland, with the result that in the four days or so that he was there, he suffered a great deal. A. change of waters acte very quickly on the highly sensitive stomach of a trained man
Apart from all this, in some cases the slow, ceremonious, present so called English" style of boxing -so far removed from the real ald English style-will have bitten o deeply into a man that it would he money and time wasted to take.
