nounced in the house of com mons today dusting of the sports pemlroke juniors virtual b f l winners by stabilizer diehard fight fans reluctant to relinquish an idea arf questioning the reasoning which prompted the dropping of ezzard charles from ring ratings this year although he was never a great fighter he was while he had it a worthy champion who many ring wise followers of tho sport aver should be still in the ratings it is being said 1 that charles is still as good as many of the rated fighters and that some of them are grossly overrated the charles supporters contend he was a highly skilled boxer even ii he wasn't a great or heavy puncher in a class with any of the mighty punchers of the past he brought something to boxing which it sorely lacked and which it still ueeds it seems fairly certain that pembroke juniors and devon shire lions will win the b.f.l a and b titles this season showing the form they dis played a few years ago pem broke juniors may go through the league season withou a defeat they have played thir teen games in the league and won them all wellington rovers beat them iu the first round of the b.f.a knockout competition the only reverse they have had this season the juniors beat wellington rovers at the sports arena on sunday the score was 4-2 this win virtually closed the books in favour of the pembroke team under present laws — some dating to 1541 — a bettor can legally phone or mail his wager to a bookmaker but he cannot give it in person off the track on the track he can bet directly with the bookie or through the parimutuels cheap points also leaves no doubt th«t they will win the b title lions deserve the honour of winning the second division championship they have played consistently well all season and never took their eye off their goal or their opponents it is probable that the key west hangers will be runners up to the pembroke juniors in the a division while wellington rovers hold the second spot iu the second string race tamed outer and inner surfaces the roof is double curved and dished to allow sunlight penetration this dishing car ries the rainwater to a single point through which it flows down a

discriminates between rich and poor they argue that a rich man has only to pick up his telephone and call in his bet legally on a charge account with his bookie while a workingman is often forced into illegal street betting ezzard charles was an intelligent boxer of the tanuey carpenter type to win the championship of the world and be shorn of all the things which played big parts hi helping others to win it is pretty good going for his type of fighter the fact can't be avoided that charles wa pushed around side-tracked at a time when he was at his best and may have dethorned the champion he was cer tainly good enough to humble the best of his era and he did it often even while he held the championship of the world charles wasn't given the acclaim which anywhere near equalled the fanfare afforded some others of lesser quality he wasn't a glamour fighter in the modern accepted meaning of the word and he paid unnecessarily hard for it for my money charles was and is still one of the great one's of the ring and he got a lousy deal for a long time the match at white hill be tween key west bangers b and somerset eagles wasn't piayed either somerset eagles couldn't field a team and key west won by default there have been several defaults in the b.f.l this season the three walls which adjoin the houses around have a soundproof fireproof isolating outer casing faced with alum inium foil as a discontinuing memberane between all houses on the wall facing the street the outer casing is sprayed with a plastic proteetive and decorative shin many claim that the betting shops — which are certain of opposition from religious groups — would end corruption among police who know of illegal street betting but do little to stop it devonshire lions had an easier day of it the
