BENNETT MOST-FANCIED.

[By Wanderer."]

We have heard so much of Cor- poral Donald Duncan, the British Marine who has been doing sen sationally brilliant things in the Shanghai ring, dealing almöst cursorily with all-comers, British, American or any other nationality, when it comes to a test of boxing skill, that, in the absence at the moment of any prospect of seeing the man himself, the appearance

END TO LONG CONTEST.

Buenos Aires, Nov. 29. The Russian master, Alekhine, has wrested the chess champion- ship of the world from the Cuban exponert, Capablanca, who had been invincible since 1921.

The conditions of the match provided that the title should go to the first winner of six games, and Alekhine has won 6 to

A. B. Bennett, most-fancied contender for Saturday's welterweight championship.

'It is possible that too much could be said about Gunner Horn- sey's clash with Duncan, but one thing is certain, he was looked upon as an extra good thing before the fight, and his record un- doubtedly proves him as a worthy contender for the welterweight championship of this Colony. After all if Duncan arrived..in Hongkong, considerable trouble would be experienced in finding him an opponent likely to draw out his best.

Hornsey's Good Record..

Hornsey will meet A. B. Bennett at the City Hall in the fifteen rounds contest for the Colony's championship, and sufficient le known about the latter to satisfy the public that he will not go un- der unless the opposition is some- thing more than ordinarily good. If boxing parlance is permitted, Hornsey is "no chicken" either.

Of many years' experience, he has fought fréquently at the Lon- don Ring, is a strong hitter, with a particularly nippy left hand, has plenty of grit, and n long record of successes.

Bennett fought the late Stoker Morris in Hongkong, and there was controversy enough over the decision, whether one thought the verdict correct or otherwise, to leave little more to be said re- garding his capabilities.

Unless the fight comes to a dis- appointingly early finish, it should be a fight worthy of the name, and though Bennett is the most-fancied" contender, he will need to keep a wary eye open for Hornsey'á "wicked" -left.

the

Another Newcomer. Another new-comer to Hongkong ring, Marine Harris, coming from the same school as Hornsey, should give the specta- tors something to think about. If Harria is as good as he is reputed to he, I am inclined to think that Stoker Sharples will go down very enally; in fact, that in this case, the match-making has not been of the best order, but something may. be left to Mr. Brook's sagacity in this respect, and the question can very well be loft at that until the decision has been given and we have had opportunity of judg- Ing for ourselves.

There are eleven Nationalist divisions in North Kiangsu, the General stated, and these men will co-operate with General Feng Yu- hainng in operations against the Fengtion forces.

Regarding the Canton situation, which has had such a profound effect on the plans for the 4th Kuomintang conference, General Chang Fat-kwal, present controller of Canton through the coup d'etat recently carried out, formerly as sured the Nationalist authorities here of his loyalty and his inten- tion of assisting them. The trouble, the General declared, was instigated by the Communists, but he does not believe that the Can- ton troops will combine with the defeated troops of General Tang Seng-chi in Hunan.
