"C" and "A" Companies of the Seaforth Highlanders met yesterday Louis' Next Victim Fails to Impress London Mar. 29.
Jack Roper, the 36-year-old California boxer, who is to meet Joe Louis in a World-Title fight at Los Angeles on April 18, beat Junior Munsell, an Indian from Oklahoma, morning at Kiaochow Park to decided points in a ten-round bout at the winners of the Inter-Company Cup. The ground was in a rather bad síate following the heavy rain of Thursday afternoon, and the players had great difficulty in controlling ihe heavy ball "C" Company, the favourites, won the game by the convincing margin of six goals to one, despite the heroic efforts of Sandy Brown in the "A" Company defence. The presence of no less than three of the Battalion's regular forwards in the "C" attack, proved too much of a task. Fraser did some good work for A, but his supporting forwards, although triers, could not get going against the defence of the opponents.
For the winners, Thompson in his usual position at outside-left, Duncan at centre-forward, and Gilmore at inside-right, proved too strong for the "A" Company half-back Hine. Duncan obtaining a "hat trick," Thompson a couple, whilst Gilmore tipped a Thompson cross into the back of the net from the left.
"A" Company's solitary point was the result of a good dribble from the centre of the feld by Fraser, the centre-forward taking the ball right into the goal area before hitting in en unstoppable shot within two minutes of full time.
