PREPARATIONS for the boxing season in Hong- kong are now taking definite form and it is al- most certain that for the opening meeting to be held early in November, that A. B. Ewin and Signalman Morris, two old and popular antagonists, will fight for the Middleweight Championship of the Colony. The Hongkong Boxing AH- sociation fa still confronted with the vexed question of finding a

venue for their tournaments. GOOD START

The possibility and practicabil. ity of using the Victoria Recreat- lon Club has been explored but it is felt that tournaments ataged there would be too depen- dent on weather conditions and offering too big risk to the promoters.

I understand that neither the King's Central, Garden or Orien tal Theatres offer themselves as suitable places and it is therefore fairly safe to assume that the Leo Theatre will be used for the monthly tournaments this winter. Although the Lee Theatre is some- what off the beaten track it is easily accessible and ls, in every other respect, an Ideal place for the boxing.

NOVEMBER ATTRACTION.

The prospects of an unusually interesting season are of the brightest, for in addition to the certain appearances of some of the moro well-known navy Agh- tors, there la promise of the fleet bringing down some new blood of high class calibre.

The Middleweight Champlon- ship booked for the opening tournament is, of course, big attraction. Both men are fight ing fit and eager to try conclus- lons once aga. The last time they met Ewin won after an en- counter rank as one of the finest over seen in Hongkong.

UEST and Gilchrist, the ex-Radio players, did great things in the St, Andrew side against H.M.S. Phoenix and they had the backing of a very able defence which could be relied upon under heavy attack.
