Brussels.

England puffered her most crushing indignity on the Con- tinent with a surprising defeat by 3 goals to 2 nt the Brussela Stadium. Belgium, though not ranking in the first ten nations on the Continent, inspired by Austria's win, smashed their way to victory by sheer dash and determination, and the will-to-win spirit.

They won despite the fact that, they were a goal behind in the first minute of the gante, and from the point of individual skill were delinile!

Team tactics were bad, the morate unworthy of international players, and the plans of campaign, especially of the forwards, far ou orthodox.

While making allowances for the fact that their opponents were faster and fitter and the refereeing England failed dismally as a tean,

The chief qualities of the Belgians were speed and the ability to make neat, short passes. Without, hesita- tlon, I say that a good Second Divi- slon team would beat them five Umes out of six.

To Appeal

IR. ARTHUR S. MYERS stated

MR

that he is to appeal against

the action of the British Boxing Board of Control in deciding to erase his name from the list of "star" referees.

The Board's decision announced carlier in the day, sald:

"The administrative stewards, after having Mr. Myers, referee of the championship contest between Jack

the Arthur S. Myers (referee of championship contest between Jack Petersen and Jock McAvoy at Earl's Court) before them the administra- tive stewards decided that his name be erased from the list of "star" re- ferees.

This does not mean that Mr. Myers, a most appreciated referee from Man- chester, in put out of active service.

He can still referes but in championship or eliminating contests. The docision of the Board, against

10:

which Mr. Myers is to appeal, will no doubt give rise to much discussion.

"DIFFICULT TASK"

As referee of the Petersen-McAvoy contest he had a most difficult task.

The boxers concerned came in for much criticism, but the referee seemed under the circumstances to come pretty well out of his onlenl.

The Board of Control questioned Mr. Myers on the matter, but no reason is given by the Board for its action in withdrawing his name from the list of 15 "starred" referees,

a little too lenient.

THIS MONTH

SCHEME TO BE PRESENTED

BIG DIFFICULTY IS FINANCE

(By "Varlias").

The resurrection of båd- minton at the Kowloon Cricket Club next winter is envisaged by a scheme, the primary details of which will be presented to a special meeting of mem- bers at the clubhouse on Thursday, June 25,

Though the club was forced to abandon badminton two years ago owing to the damage which was being threatened to the sprung dance floor, interest in the game has remained and now it is hoped that practical men- sures will be possible to bring about its resuscitation.

The idea to be put forward at the meeting on June 25 is the conversion of the present

hard court at the K.C.C. into badminton courts by the erection of a building. It would be constructed for this purpose,

Two miniches of this description have recently been decided-between Petersen and McAvoy, and the one last week at Liverpool botween Nel Tarleton, of Liverpool, and Johnny King, of Manchester.

In each case the champion of the heaviest class easily retained his title.

AS I SEE SPORT

Seen at his home in Oswald-road, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, Mr. Myers declined to enter into any con troversy About the matter, but

nuded:-

"I shall certainly appeal to the appeal stewards of the British Boxing Board of Control." Asked whether he woulti London in person when he lodged his appeal Mr. Myers sald "No."
