Best match of the evening should be the first on the programme, at 8 p.m., in which D. C. Lau of → the Chinese YMCA meets M., T. Yeow of Hongkong University for the Junior Singles Championship.

On past showing, D. C. Lau should win as he has shown consistency in form and has a wide re- pertoire of strokes which will stand him in good stead against a player like M. T. Yeow, who is spectacular in his recoveries to the extent that ho often leaves himself open for the kill.

Dave Sands Loses On Points Decision

London, Apr. 4-Dave Sands, 23-year-old Aus- tralian middle, cruiser and heavyweight champion, making his English debut before 10,000 spectators at Harringay Arena here tonight, was outpointed over ten rounds by Tommy Yarosz, 27-year-old American cruiserweight.

It was not a spectacular fight and at the finish both boxers were wrongly marked, but the big American looked a clear winner on points. The British referee had no hesitation in holding up the American's hand as the winner.

Some thought the Australian any real action, and then the might perhaps have got the American upset the Australian's decision on the ground that calm with lefts and rights to the Yarosz was repeatedly cautioned face and, as the round ended. for holding, but in boxing skill Yaron got in a fierco left hook the American was on top almost to the side of the face. throughout,
