the final of the China Fleet championship to-night.

Fraggott is a quick worker, and In 1932 he won the welterweight Rugby XV

a three round fight is far more championship of the Royal Navy to his liking than a long distance. and Royal Marines, It is hardly likely that he will obtain a K.O., but if he does not fall into the same blunder of dropping his guard, there is also very little likelihood of Ewin mutting him out for the count, and Fraggott should just about earn the verdict on points.

A. B. Pringle of H.M.S. Medway, should go a long way towards bringing the welterweight honours | to the Medway.

Ldg. Seaman Trimmings of the) Destroyer Flotilla and A. B. Tay- lor of H.M.S. Berwick have both figured in Fleet Championships in the Mediterranean. Taylor won the Amateur Welterweight Cham-' plonship of the Chinn Fleet this year; but it is interesting, to add that on thint occasion Trimmings was his opponent in the final, and Taylor won on points after a very close fight.
