SHANGHAI'S margin of defeat should have been greater than the odd goal in this rousing and wholly delightful match at Sookunpoo yesterday. They had most of the play and none of the luck.

But the match was a worthy "curtain" to the 1937 Interport series, producing a better type of football than either of the previous two games. Shanghai, though somewhat jaded after four strenuous days, played very gallantly, and were good losers

Marcal Thil Hit Below The Belt

AND RETAINS HIS TITLE

Paris, Feb. 18. Marcal Thii regained his world's middleweight boxing title here to- night when his opponent, the French-Canadian Lou Brouillard was disqualified in the sixth round of a 15 round contest for an alleged foul blow.

Bouillard caught Thil a sovore blow under the belt and the clumpton crumpled to the floor. Thil could not move on his own, and had to be half carried across the ring to his corner by the referee, a Belgian named Fatone-United Press,

FIGHT DESCRIBED

A. Renter message describing the fight says the Arst round was even, though Tall won the second and the fourth and Bouillard the third and fifth...

In the sixth round Thit dashed from hla corner and received an apparent- ly low blow. He was counted out and the fight awarded to Brouillard. Afterwards the desicion was re- versed, the referee holding that Till had been fouled. It is noteworthy that Broulliard lost title boul ngainst Thil in a similar manner on January 20, 1930.

"SPIES IN THE STAND ”.

A PROTEST

(Frank M. Carruthers) The footballer has made the startling discovery that though he. may misbehave on the blind side of the referee he is still liable to be punished.

Within the last few weeks three players have been suspended, al- though they were not sent off the field, and I think it may be assumed that the authorities acted on infor- mation other than that laid by the referees.

I am prepared for a full-throated protest on the part of the clubs against omcials who sit on the stand and undertake the duties of' offelals In charge of a match.

"It is the first time we have had spies in football," said a manager "and I offer the strongest protest against their introduction."

CUP FINAL PRECEDENT But although the practice of puni hing players who have not been. sent off the field by the referee is unusual, it has happened on several occasions. The most notable in- stance was that which concerned a Cup final many years ago.

It has always been a principle of the Football Association that a ment ber of the council even in a private capacity should be responsible for. the welfare of the game. Recently I understand that it has been em- phasised that this should be more generally accepted in order that the control of the game should be tigh- tened, and it is probably on this account that offences which have escaped the notice of referees have been reported.

This season 1 new F.A. dis- ciplinary committee was formed to deal with reported players. It cont prises Mr. Charles E. Sulciffe and Mr. W. C. Cuff, president and vice- president of the Football League who are also members of the Ass0* clation, and Mr. T. H. Kirkup, the secretory of the London FA.
