BELGIUM JOINS POLICE BOXING CHAMPIONSHIP AT HARRINGAY ARENA
London, Jan. 19.
BELGIUM is to send a team to compete for the first time
in the open police boxing championships at Harringay on February 1, thus making the Continental challenge fourfold. The other countries who will be represented are Germany, France and Holland. Willie Mietschke, the German holder of the light-weight title, has had to with- draw because of injury, and the German team will now be headed by Erich Camps, who will defend his middle-weight championship.
