Benny Lynch Knocked Out And Hooted From Ring At N. S. C.

London, Oct. 5.

Bouny Lynch, paly, a few months' ago world flyweight cham- pion, was booted from the ring at the National Sporting Club this week. His opponent, Aurel Toma, of Roumania, knocked him out in the third round after Lynch had given a display that astounded the spectators. He landed only three half-hearted blows and scemod dazed. It was a farcical contest that lasted only six minutes 32 seconds.

LATE RECOVERY BY THE VISITORS UNAVAILING

The Shanghai Interport lawn bowlers now in Hongkong met with their first defeat yesterday when, visiting the Police R.C, they were beaten by 22-10 after a thoroughly enjoyable game, in which a high standard of play was revealed
