LATE NIGHT CABLES

The following cables were received on Saturday night by the American- Oriental Finance Corporation and. Messrs. 3. E Levy & Co.:-

Indeed, for years past various British major-generalr and colonels have attended this well-ly higher, known course,

Probably George Cook, veteran Australian heavyweight (he will be 37 years old next month) will never win a title, but at the Royal Albert Hall he gave an exhibition of pluck and ring- craft such as has rarely been ex" celled. Not only did he stay the 15 rounds in his British and Empire heavy-weight title fight with Jack Petersen," but he gave the champlon a battle he will not soon forget

Cook Topples" Over

It was in the second minute of the fourteenth round, after he had been forced to the ropes, that Petersen suddenly broke out of a clinch and simultaneously shot the most vicious right of the night. The veteran toppled over, and although he rose at the count of six, he was forced back to the ropes, and appeared to be in such desperate straits that it seemed odds on his being knocked out with the next punch. Hard lefts and rights to the jaw had him reeling, but he broke away and saw the round out.
