Verdict Meets With Approval

Singapore, July 13. Boxers were satisfied, the public wha crammed the new Great World arena to eapacity was satisfied, the promoter, Mr. R; D.

Two Hard Fought Matches

The Yankees were given two hard fought matches by the Browns and in the first contest they only won by two runs, after Selkirk had blanked out the St. Louis team. In the second, the 7- 5 Browns nosed out the Yankees in

ri

The main event was, of course, the re-appearance after three years of the renowned negro, Gun- boat Jack, who holds the welter, the middle and the lightweight titles of All-India..

Both tipped the scales. just over the welterweight limit with Jack having a half-pound advantage.

"BLACK SECRET"

Alde, accompanied by Tarley Bee Basco and Choon មាន his seconds, entered, the ring first He received an encouraging recep tion but the major portion of the applause was reserved for Gunboat who came in wearing his lucky cap a much-worn and battered but obviously a treasured mascot He was also muffed up in "a dressing gown which had the words "Black Secret”...his fighting name in the early days-written ACTOSS"it.

Just. before the fight it was an- nounced that Young Frisco and Gunboat Jack would meet at middleweight limit at the Great World under Mr. Simon's promo- tion on August 2.

The Aght itself was not *S thrilling as one expected it to be. It was obvious that Alde had created for himself two opponents Gunboat Jack and Jack's re- putation. Gunboat himself was looking unusually serious.

ALDE NERVOUS That Gunboat had the better of the effler rounds" could definitely be attributed to Alde's nervous- ness, Had he fought the negro as he did in the last round there might have been another story to tel.

As it was the judges disagreed and Jack was awarded the fight on the referee's decisión. Per- sonally I do not think that the rup of the contest warranted a disagreement. Jack Indisputably but Alda went under in glorious fashion. Should the pair ever meet again I should not dare to predict the result.

It was part of his duty to clean out the tigers' cages every mor- ning and in order to do this the beasts were wheeled, in their cages, into the centre of the circus ring...

Then an empty cage had to be backed close up to the cage con- taining a tiger and when the two cages were close together, the door of the empty cage was raised and then the door of the tiger, cage was raised and the beast walked from the one cage into the other,

That was the usual procedure, but unfortunately the jaga had left the door at the other end of the empty cage open, so that when the tiger was released from its cage, it had only to walk through the empty cage, and leap down to freedom.

Langton was caught and bowled by Hammond and the innings was declared closed. Mitchell had played å great innings of 164 not out.
