Many People Entertained

By Excellent Bouts

Skill and courage were displayed by youthful exponents of the boxing art yesterday afternoon when the Boy Scouts annual boxing display was held at the Foreign Y.M.C.A. gymnasium before a large crowd of parents, friends and otherwise interested onlookers.

Twelve bouts and one exhibition encounter were held before the affair come to a close and in those bouts, the young boxers showed the results of careful training much to the pleasure of the audience. With few exceptions, the fights were very even and hard-fought, there being three draws.

The belligerents ranged from 50 1b. to 150 1b, the Cub boxers going three 1% minute rounds and the Scouts mixing it for three 1% minute rounds.

The proceeds of the display will go in aid of the Association summer camp fund and the-local Scout group funds. The show was under the patronage of Mr. A. H. George, H. M. Cons@l-General.
