This is indeed a great pity. In the old days when the Hong Kong Boxing Association was tune- tioning, tournaments used to be the rule rather than the exception in the winter months, and as the was до dearth of boxing Army and Navy always provided a few of their own every year, there matches.

!!

For some time now, Hong Kong had had to be satisfied with what boxing the Services can provide, and although we have seen some really good Army and Navy fights, the lack of tournaments, after the pid City Hall style, a very keenly felt.

I was speaking to "Iron" Bux, the old favourite, the other day and he seems to be of the opinion that given the right place to stage the Aghts, there should be no difficulty in getting up at least two or three tournaments before the summer sets in

Bus, it will be remembered, arat, come forward to do the promotion learned his boxing in the Coliny work. The difficulty seems to be and when he "migrated" to Manila to find a suitable place to hold he soon made a name for himself the tournaments. and so successful was he in the ring that he held every title from light- weight to middleweight in the Philippines in addition to winning the lightweight championship of the Orient.

When he was felting at welter- weight, Bax was matched against Lew Edwards, then holder of the Lonsdale. Bolt, but he was forced to retire midway through the fight. having sustained a broken wrisi.

The name of Bux is still well- khown amongst local boxing fans for young Ramsey Bux, son of this popular old-timer, under the game of Trop Bux junior, holder of the Colony bantamweight title (amateur).

ROWLES DOING WELL While on the subject of former Colony,champions, the public will.

The China Fleet Club and Lee In Theatre should be suitable fact quite a few tournaments have been held at both of these places though of the two the China Fleet Club Theatre is preferrable, if only from the point of view of con- venience.

WHAT ABOUT THE V.R.C.. In the dim and distant past, the Victoria Recreation Club was look. ed upon as the headquarters for amateur boxing. This club used to hold annual amateur .cham- pionship tournaments and I am convinced that if these matches were to be revived the youth of the Colony would rally round and give the V. R. C. all the support that It may need.

NO INTEREST IN CRICKET!

Visitor Airs. His Views

(To the Editor, "The Hong Kong Daily Press)

Sir.-I have not been long In the Colony but it seems to me that Tor a British Colony, the keenness shown in cricket is deplorably poor.. For instance there is an International Football competition and the newly-introduced game of Softball is also enjoying "inter- national" proportions. Is there no Dossibility of starting an Inter- national Cricket Tournament?

From enquiries made I have learned that teams can be fielded by Australia, Britain, China, Indu Portugal, Scotland Wales. We have too few all-day gumes here and a competition on the lines suggested might pelp

to make cricket more popular than It is at the moment.

to two.

Harding and Foot scored for the Petty Officers in the first half but after the charge-over the Chiefs scored through Hutley. Foot added two to the Petty Officers' total in this half.

The teams were:- CHIEFS:

Thorne; Goodham, Lampdin; Cassidy, Dawson, Ware- ham: Brown, Shellcroft, Darnell, Hutley, Walters.

PALMER NOW BETTER

Rat-

The many friends of P. O. Pal- mer, H.M.S. Cumberland, will be glad to learn that the injury which he sustained while in Wei- haiwel is mending very rapidly. and that he hopes to take his place in the ship's hockey and cricket teams in the very near future,

P.O. Palmer fractured his left wrist while playing hockey and it was at first thought that he would not be able to play again for at least three months.

ARMY KICKS OFF The Army won the toss and play in the opening moments was con- aned to mid-held and both aides took some time to settle down.
