Draw Made In Fourth Round Of F.A. Cup First Division Teams Lucky
London, Jan. 9.
Strong criticism of the Stewards of the British Box- ing Board of Control for prolonging the "reign of the despoilers of clean sport" is made in the annual report of the National Boxing Association.
The Stowards of the Boxing Ioard, says the report, continue to
be intractable in refusing to work Squash Rackets
with the Association. This is much to be regretted, but does not affict our determination to bring about the reforms we seck. It makes reforms more difficult and prolongs the vegu of the despoilers of clean sport, but right and justice must win through.
A noteworthy result of the "do nothing" attitude of the Board Ste- wards is that rebeliton, which began among the managers. There is no doube that these sections have

London, Dec. 13. After a magnißleent game, K. C. Gandar Dower, who had been run- ner-up to Capt. V. A. Cazalet as long ago as 1930, won the amateur
quash rackets championship at the Bath Club yesterday, defeating the Arny champion, D. 1. Burnett, by 2-0, 10-0, 0-6, 10-3 in the Anal.
It was a remarkably even match In which the greater versatility of Gandar Dower just turned the scale.
Burnett scored his points chiefly through length shots. He certainly played some good drops, but, in this department of the game and in the no playing of the angles, especially boxers it to challenge American from the back of the court, he was Gandar Udle holders. world
