STEWARDS OF BRITISH BOXING BOARD CRITICISED

Eric Boon will defend his British lightweight boxing championship at Harringay on February 23 against Arthur Danahar, of Bethnal Green, another very promising young British boxer.-Reuter,
Draw Made In Fourth Round Of F.A. Cup First Division Teams Lucky
London, Jan, 0.
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 Stewards of the Boxing Board, says the report, continue to
be intractable in rettuing to work Squash Rackets with the Association. This is much to be regretted, but does not affect our determination to bring about the reforms we seek. It makes reforms tnure difficult and prolongs the regn of the despoilers of clean sport, bu right and Jusiles must w.n through.

A noteworthy result of the "do nothing" attitude of the Board Ste- wards is that rebellion, which began jumong the inanagers. There is no louis งาน these sections hay:

BETTER PURSES
Burnett's length, from the start, was immaculate and Gandar Dower 1 was much worried in dealing with it. He could not find his touch for his drops which were just going on the tin. Burnett went to 4-0 in the second game and Gandar Dower looked to be in trouble, but a good run of six put him on top tempor- arily.
