SHANGHAI BOXING.

YOUNG ALDE IN GREAT FORM.

TOUGH AMERICAN BEATEN,

Shanghai, July 6.---Young Alde's reputation as a hitter, which got a grand start when he kayoed Corporal. Donald Duncan in the second round and did not suffer because the Corporal held hit away in a subsequent engagement, soared to the Shanghai Town Hall's high ceiling, when he put away Andy Anderson.

Andy is a tough leatherneck, who is concrded to be a hard hitter eves, among the hard-hitting . S. Marines. In the past he has fought his way to the top in Shanghai fistic eireles by demolishing op- ponent after opponent.

But when he met the little lad from Manila it was a case of curtains. Anderson proved he could take it, true; but what be had to take was something awful. He proved himself Kipling's "first- class lighting man "bat Alde was

better.

Like a Hawk.

In the first round Anderson swoopid down on, Alde like a hawk on a strial brown hen. He came up with his left from the south- east. he came down with his right from the north-west, and buzzed around Alde like a cooper 'round

keg.

MIXED DOUBLES LEAGUE.

YESTERDAY'S MATCHES.

THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1929.

Tennis Notes.

The "A" Division passed through its most interesting stage last week. The Hong Kong Cricket Club, last year's runners-up, who had so far beaten all comers, including two of the strongest teams, viz., the Chi- nese Recreation Club and the Kow. loon Cricket Club, had set to meet The three matches in the Mixed the Indian Recreation Club and the Doubles League were all played | M.B.K. at Kowloon yesterday. By beating. the University the Kowloon Cricket Club regained the leadership which it is likely they will retain for the rest of the season. Craigengower and the Ladies Recreation Club were successful against the Bowling Green Club and Recrei respec- tively.

The details follow:-

Kowloon 0.0. v. University, On their own courts the Kowloon Cricket Club beat the University easily by 8 to 1. G. de Souza and Miss G. Ho Tung were the successful pair for the losers.

Then as the two men gat over by the ropes Alde let go, with soupe. thing which caught Andy under, the chin, lifted him in a pin-wheel over the ropes, and pivoted him over the top strand so he landed squarely on his head on the pro-s jection of the ring outside the repes. It looked ke murder.

Andy lay just outside the ring with one foot in. About the coust of six he gave a heave and squiṛm- ed partly inside the ring. At nine he got up. The bell saved him just

Alde, rushed.

Asking for More. When the send round started Alde rushed and a moment later Anderson's lucky length dropped again. As the referee counted he stirred, slowly rose Lo one knee, and gained his feet just in time. Alde rushed, in again but Anderson had a Bock of trouble waiting for him. In a few seconds more Andy went down again, and again got up. And just before the end of the round he took another flop, but still he got up.
