Llewellyn Favoured

The Loyals' battler will have to change his tactics inasmuch as Andre, employing a straight right, will be the—speedier puncher should Llewellyn continue his windmill style of last week. A scrapper of long experience, Llewellyn, his handlers state, will do exactly that and they predict for their fighter another decisive win. Andre never has been averse, to fighting and to taking punishment in order to get within range, and consequently another great toe-to-toe battle should result when Llewellyn and Andre get together this Friday evening.

Under the Auditorium's present plans, this Friday's card will be an after-dinner affair. It is to commence at 8 p.m., the new war time" starting hour for Shanghai entertainment. With colder weather coming on, the Canidrome Gardens boxing venue now is being enclosed and will be completed in good time to insure patrons protection against wintry winds. Booking for Friday's boxing opens at Squires Bingham to-morrow.

Other British boxers likely to take part in the forthcoming programme, Matchmaker Sofoulis states, are to be provided by the Royal Navy while their opposition will be drawn from the 4th and 6th Regiments, U.S. Marines, and the French Army, with Kid Andre virtually the only "'civvy" on the proposed card, full details of which will be made public to-morrow.
