ARSENAL LUCKY AGAIN IN SPURS FAMED DOUBLE ACT

DRAW FOR THE THIRD ROUND OF THE FA CUP

London, Dec. 11.

Probably the outstanding feature of the FA Cup third round draw today is the continued luck of the Arsenal club. Last season they won the Cup without playing out of London, being drawn at home every round until the semi-final, when they had the luck to get the Lon- don game of that round against Chelsea, and then of course they won the final at Wembley.

Once again they are drawn at home, but Carlisle are quite happy about affairs. Their manager is Bill Shankly, a guest player with Arsenal during the war, who says he knows "all the tricks" about Arsenal and his team will be very hopeful.

Liverpool, last season's beaten finalists, also meet a Third Division side în Norwich, who are strong contenders for the honours of the Southern Section. Liverpool's task is probably earned therm exemption until and so meet three times within- harder than Arsenal's because the third round this year, may a fortnight.

Ronnie Clayton Makes

"A Lonsdale Belt His Own Property

By ARCHIE QUICK

At last a boxer has overcome the hoodoo of winning his third British championship contest to make a Lonsdale Belt his own property. Ronnie Clayton, the curly-haired Blackpool boy, accomplished the feat by easily outpointing Jim Kenny, of Glasgow, to win a featherweight title fight for the third time. The win also meant that he retained his Empire Crown.

The last boxer to win a Lonsdale Belt outright was Freddie Mills, but he too-like Clayton and several others York-never saw his property. Although Clayton won his first notch on the Belt three years ago it was announced Norwich City v. Liverpool.

Weight for weight, I would say that Clayton is our best champion now and the manner in which he clipped Kenny right out of the ring in the fourth round was in the style of a real worthy titleholder. We had the spectacle of the timekeeper standing over Kenny. lying on a Prass table, tolling out the seconds, Kenny getting entangled with the bell and having his ants ripped and then just scrambling through the ropes at the count of nine.

So far ahead was the cham- plon after twelve rounds that I thought the referee could very well have stopped the con- test to save The Scot further punishment als Jack Hart did when Lloyd Barnett was out- classed recently by Aaron Wilson Nevertheless, teel Kenny has been brought the front too soon.
