the visiting team, of all county matches with aides from overseas be pald into a pool to be divided equally among the countles at the end, of

This

TOO MUCH CLINCHING MARS BOUT Harvey & McAvoy Well-Matched

By A Boxlig Correspondent

London, Apr. 10. The contest, for the British light- heavyweight championship between Harvey and McAvoy was the first important contest between big men in this country for many months. It is probable that the reason the light- heavyweight championship has never excited as much public interest ́ ́as those at other weighta is to be found in the old saying of

Both men are veterans as age goes in the ring, Harvey being thirty and McAvoy two years younger, but both were probably as At as ever they had been. McAvoy was supposed to be the harder hitter, and few who saw it will forget the fearful punch with which he knocked out Phillips to win the championship, but Har- vey had the advantage in height. weight, and reach.

LOST SPEED

Harvey seems to have lost some of his speed, but this may be due to his having had so tew contests dur- Ing the last two years. Phillips and Foord have been nominated by the British Boxing Board of Control for an eliminating contest to decide who is to challenge Farr for the British title. If, as is quite possible, Forr should stay in the States for the present, Harvey may get a match with the winner. Farr will make mistake if he remains in America, but until it is definitely settled whe ther, Schmeling is meeting Louis as arranged, and who la to bo matched with the winner, he will probably stay on the chance of getting a big match.
