The ban placed on Sunday box- ing by the London County Council does not operate until June 30, and I am assured by those who control The Ring that the will be among the strongest that "so far have been arranged, writes

HOME OF CHAMPIONS

Only a few weeks ago Mrs. Burge celebrated her Ring jubilee. "When she, with her late husband, leased the round building that was once a chapel, the most celebrated"box- Ing resort in the country was the National Sporting Club,

Today The Ring is better known than any other hall of its kind in Britain.

It is singular to hear that ona who has done much lubbying in favour of twenty-round fights is. Max Baer, the world's heavy- weight champion.

He recently paid a visit to Lan- sing. Michigan, and while there me informed alt and sundry that he would be quite willing to meet Joe Louis, the negro, in 8 $wenty- rounds contest,

ARSON ALLEGED

Chinese On Serious Charge

Mr. T H. Brooks, Superintendent of the Fire Brigade, Hong Kong tracy yesterday afternoon at the gave evidence at Kowloon Magis- resumed hearing of

the case against Ng Yuen Chow who was charged with the alleged arson of the Sam Man Towel Manufactur- ing Company and Ng King Chiu, A only, which made it slightly ridi-partner of the firm, charged with the alleged procuration of the crime.

The last time Baer's title was at stake the bout was four rounds

culous,

The suggestion must be

that Baer is convinced he can knock out Louls when he likes.

My memory goes back to fights that featured Bombardier Wells. Len Harvey, Matt Wells, and very many more, while I also recollect that it was at The Ring that 1 watched Jimmy Wilde make his first London appearance.

He was a human hairpin then and few present believed, although he won with a quick and astonish- ing knock-outs that he would ko on to win a world's title.

HARDSHIPS

I understand that the London' County Council will presently be asked to receive a deputation fo that the matter of Sunday boxing can be fully discussed.

It will be, pointed out that the nien who will chiefly suffer as the ban are those employed at the markets.

These enthusiasts have to be at work before the dawn, and as a consequence they cannot attend the shows held at night.

It will also be stressed that young boxers, making their way will be severely handicapped, arst in a financial sense, and sec- ond in the gaining of experience.

TWENTY ROUNDERS AGAIN Governor Frank Fitzgerald, or Michigan, has been asked to sign a Bill that will again permit cham- pionship fights to be contested over the twenty rounds route.

Title bouts are limited to fteen rounds in England. but it will be recalled that when Gene Tunney had his IWO battles with Jack Dempsey they were ten-rounders."
