MCAVOY

Chance Against Petersen

When Jock McAvoy comes down to fight Jack Petersen at Earl's Court in April be will have the comforting moral sup- port that no one in the north believer'bo can be beaten.

What is more, the backers of Peter- en are just as hard to find in the south-apart from Wales, where, naturally, he la regarded in the same urboatable light as McAvoy,

Peteran has dimppointed us often, but his form in his Inat 'fight with Harvey was definitely good. McAvoy has captured the limelight with his amashing wins In Amarica. His ad- mirers think there is nothing in box-{ ing to-day to equal the power of his punching.

Maybe they are right.

A GRAND BEGINNING. McAvoy's ambitions now are purely heavy-weight. In a cabled message

from New York, he said:-

"I have fought all the leading light-heavy-weights and middle- weights In England. 1 want mare and better fights, as the only thing I can do is to take on heavy-weights.

"But I want to make my heavy weight debut, at home. Petersen is a grand beginning".

Programme

ANTI-CLIMAX HINTED

After yesterday's palpitati tenna, to-day's programme at the Cricket Club hints an anti-climax. Nevertheloss an attractive match is set down for the stand court, where the ever-green M. W. and M, K. Lo combination oppose Paul Kong and Lai Kwong-taun, regarded in some quarters as important contenders for the doubles championship.

VICTORY WAS MERITED

(By "Veritas")

Two brothers, playing ifi- spired tennis, were yesterday responsible for the dethrone- ment of Hongkong's doubles champions, S. A. and H. D. Rumjahn when they met on the stand court of the Cricket Club in the third round of the current championship. For eleven years

the Rumjahn cousins have reigned supreme and fate, indulging in a fanci- ful twist of irony decreed that they should yield their crown at the very time when, to all intents and purposes, opposi- tion was at its weakest.

brilliant victory; achieved on merits and the outcome of a tonnis display which has not been surpassed in the Colony championships for many years.

GOSANO BOWLED WELL BUT WITHOUT LUCK

(By. R. Abbit)

Playing the right type of cricket, Kowloon Cricket Club swept on to a decisive and well merited victory against University on Saturday and thus won the Senior League shield. R. Abbit, the Colony's leading cricket commentator, who watched the match, gives the following special description.
