ACCORDING to Reuter, Petersen last night met

Crossley in his third "Come-back" contest, at| Cardiff. Crossley, former Light-heavyweight champion was battered all round the ring by the fiercely attacking Petersen, and the referee found it necessary to intervene in the tenth round to save Crossley from further punishment.

BATH THE FIRST ENGLISH SIDE TO BEAT LLANELLY

London, Jan. 31. Bath deserve credit for being the first English club so far to defeat Llanelly, but Bristol failed to repeat an earlier success over Newport. Cardiff and Swansea are now "all square," having beaten each other twice this season.

There appears to be no stopping the Wasps, who are the only unbeaten club in the succeeding list. Their latest victims are the Old. Millhillians.
