THE BOXING RING. Overlooked Swansea Valley Talent. I An I n costing Controversy. (BY" PENORAGON,") Much good is likely to come out of the complaint made by a Swaassea Valley box- ing enthusiast about the overlooking of talent from the Yfifcalyfera distric-t by local promoters Early in the week I published the substance of a conversation which I had with Mr. Alf Harry. Hp u (that i it would be unfair to match Arthur Bifthop of Caerphilly, with Chris. Langclon, of Tsstalyfera, because of the disparity in weight. Further than this, be insisted that there had been no boycott f;.f all, a.nd in order to lend colour to the contention, he offered to give a PUT, for a bout be- tween Luther Thomas (Ystalyf) and Idris Jones (Ammanford). STILL. DISSATISFIED. Seemingly folks up Yetalyfera way are still dissatisfied. At. any rate, a fr.rthi y letter- hascovao ajong, and although it ai> peared on Wednesday, it will bear repeti- tion. The writer says:— u I noticed Mr. Alf Harry's remarks m Monday night's leader." about the unfairness of putting Arthur Bishop (Caer- philly'i to box Chris. Langdon (Ystalyferai because of the difference in weight. We are all aware that Bishop is a lot better man at S stone than at 7st. lOlbs., so where the unfairness of a class man who has boxed at different parts of England, conceding about 41 bp. to a boy who has never boxed outside Swansea, and who haA only been a.t the game a few months, comes, in 1 don. know. Again, in regard to lAither Thomas and Idris Jones. Why not have matched them at Swansea Empire? What I want to point out is that if our boys do not get enoou ragement from their own locality, where do we expect it to come from ?" CLAIMS OF CHRIS. LANGDON. Now whether Ohris Langdon and Bishop coBle together or not. it is desirable tha,t something should be done to give the former a, chance to show his worth. The last big contest in which he figured was with Billy ,fame»i. of Britonferrr, at. the Swansea Olvmpic. He was admittedly out of form that right, and would have preferred not to have boxed at all. As it was, he gave in. much to the disappointment of a laree number of supporters who lj,ad travelled down from the Valley. There has'been talk of another match between him and James, but it has not materialised. THE ABERAVON VENTURE. Our old friend. Aif Harry, has taken o*«r the Palace Theatre. Aberavon. He antici- pates a bis boxing boom up that way, and is leading off to-night with a programme whicn should please the most exacting. Hi." star" turn it; a 15-round bout between Billi Beynon and Billy James. It will be U j?rea?t?st test the latter has yet had, aa? l 1 do not expect him to win. If the un- expected happen: and Beynon goes under, it will be a bad- prelimniary to his meeting witi-i. Louis Ruddiok at Swansea the follow- ing week. LUTHER THOMAS' ISOLATION. t Why is it that Luther Thoma" allowed to remain in comparative obscurity? Some Um J ago he acted as sparring partner to Jimmy Wilde, and was. I hear, compli- mented by Mr. "Teddy" Lewis upon the way in which he plied his left. When I last saw him he was training for a return bout with Idris Jones-who he had previously beaten—but it did not oome off. Thomas is a:i enthusiast, but. I have said before. he must overcome that tendency to use the open glave. He worka underground, but would, I fancy. be prepared to take up box- ini as a business if he were given proper encoo ragement. RUDDICK AND WILDE. TVij matchirig of Louis Ruddick with Jimmy Wilde at 8st 41b for November 2nd. at Liverpool, has aroused considerable in- terest. There was a daal of argument when the representatives of the two met. and Mr. Teddy Lewis paid the best tribute to the estimation they hold the Leeds boy in when lJ' absolutely re/used to make a match at 8st 61b Mr. Billy Ames, who is acting for' Buddick, made several alternatives, all of which were turned down. It was funny to see Ames on the opposite eides with Teddy Lewis and his stable, aø the ex-Cockney manager had mucii to do with the great Jimmy's early progress during the two year-i preceding the war. Eventually ar. ticle* were signed for the only weight, Mr. Lewh would stand for. This (says a writer in "Tbomwn'a "lis, indeed, a very low weight, and many are of the opinion that Buddick will not make it, though I would jvoirtr, out that RudrticVs party are under a £50 penalty to make th", weight at 2 p.m. N 3 one can blame Teddy Lewis for grinding (town the most logical opponent for his boy to a fine weight, and remembering the sup- pose i difficulty Ruddick had recently to make 8st 61b at Swansea for SymondSt it dc--A not, took a good match for Ruddick, though incidentally I would poillt, out that Billy Amee generally knows what he is about and 00, one knows better thar. him 'hat weight Ruddick can do. Ruddick will start, his preparation at that. ideal Fpot. for taking weight off. the Black Bull, at Whet- stone. Very probably the date of the bout. j will be altered ?o November 16th. as Rod- I dick' party hardly think the ?hort time at their disposal wIn enable their boy to do full jnt?tce to himself at the weight i- PROGRESS OF FEATHERS. The: Haelingden boy. Teddy leathers, who w is at Swansea some time ago, eeored a good. victory on Saturday at the Ring, when he knocked out Bill Bristowe in ten rounds with a left. hook to the jaw. Whilst not yet a champion. Feathers is rapidly earn- ing recognition in good oompauy, and if making steady and sure progress upon the lines he laid out for himself after winning a white hope competition in Manchester in tho spring of 1914. Feathers Knew very little about the intricacie- of the game in those days. but, aided by "Via ability t give and take heavy punishment, he has sreadily added to his experience, and pickcd up hi., laairels at, the some time. An old op. ponent of the Haslingden boy's, Johnny Horan, of Preston, did rather well at. New- castle on the same day by petting Tid of one who would have-given him a lot of trouble, in the eeoond round of a 35-rou.nd contest. Whilst nothing like as ruggia eo" Horan, Charlie Webster, oi London, nap a tantalising lieft hand, and wa, Horan look -athet cheap in toe first .-i- T d, but got a. hit too fast, and walked into a smashing right to the jaw early in round two. which felled the Southerner like a log. He got. up before the expiration of the final ten. but Horan didmt lose his chanrp. and getting quickly to work with two hand*, he put, Webstor away before the expiration oft.-he round. DOYLE BEATS B £ ATTlE, The Stadium, Liverpool, was packed on Thursday night to soa the twenty rounds contest between Eddie Beattie, of Caatle- cary, and Kid Doyle, of "Newcastle. wlv> J met. for £ 50 a-sido. At. the weighing-;n earlier in the day each man waA insi-d4- tho welter-weight limit. The men had met twice previously. Doyle winning the firsb 'I till'" a.nd Beattie on the second orca?on, and on Thursday lug?ht Doyle? by a yi< tory on points, wrm. the rubber. The open- ing round was unoventful, but in th;, second Beattie got home a couple of haTli body punches and a left hook to the jaw; while Dovle reached the head with t.hre*», Ohard rights; Doyle opened brilliantly in the third rOTlnd with half a dozen short, i lefts to the face, while twice he clipped Beattie on the jaw and drove him to the ropes with fast work on the body. They" bad a rare set-to in the fourth, both hitting out vigorously. Doyle cra.sh<vi home two left hooks to the jaw. and a. tro- mendouf? fusil ad e of punches were ex- changed. with honours even. By compari- son, thp next three rounds were dull, i though Doyle scored with a useful straight left. HOOKS AND UPPER CUTS. In the eighth round Beattie -settled -down, in earnest, and attacked with vigour, btit Dovle met him with stinging: left hookft and upper outs, and in the ninth sent hard t-Ht* to the jaw, and, an lieattie r»*»4ed ircmal- the ropes he was caught with a hard righr; uppercnt. Doyle boxed with a fine jnrh- ment, an.d evad ed many of Beattie's1 be-fc ittempt^ to score, ami twice during the tenth round, in thrf mid.<?t of some shal-p talh, Doyle brought his light with tre- mendous force to the jaw. The elevenuv and twelfth rounds were boxed on even, sftrenuous lines; then Doyle did splendifilv » with the left to th:, ,c;ide of the head, and drove his opponent to the ropes. The uon- test wns continued at a great pace up to the 15th round, but here there was a. per- ceptible -slackening. In the 18th toiui:1 coitstanfly jabbed hi5 left, and when Beatie attempted to lead his blows wera often knocked aside. were co'nparitvely tame.. bnt Doyle main- tained ins superiority and gained the deci- sion on points. Next Saturday Doyle mee+ i Brooks at the Swan. Empire in a tour- nament promoted by Mr. Llew. Hay ward, for the War Prisoners' Fund. NO ELIMINATING BOUT. Owing to Louis Ittiddickhavjjig ixed i.n to box Jimmy Wilde at the Liverpool Stadium on Nov. 16. the-proposed meeting of Ruddick and Yo-nng Symonds at National Sporting Club. in an eliminating contest in connection with the bantam- weight championship, bad beea dec?:LTt? ehauipioii.,?tLip, had been

MR. WORRELL, The Famous London Eyesight Specialist, VISITING AMMANFORD. MONDA Y, Oct. 23 to SATURDAY, Oct. 28 THE Y.M.C.A., AMMANFORD. Why yof4 should consult Mr. WORRELL. IN the first place, because nearly all eyes would be the better for scientific attention. In the second place, because you cannot afford to take risks with so delicate and so impor- tant an organ as the eye. In the third place, because Mr. Worrell is one of the leading sight testing specialists in S England. | In the fourth place, because no I fee is charged for the examina- 8 tion, whilst glasses, if. you need 1 them, will be supplied at an ex- 1 traordinarily small cost. HEADACHES. Ninety per cent. of apparently incurable cases of headache are due to defects of the eyesight, and can be permanently over- come by wearing properly fitted special glasses. Most people isuffering from headache never suspect that their eyes are the source of the trouble. Yet it is so, as Mr. Worrell has found over and over again. Mr. Worrell can only stay in Ammanford until the end of next week. Make a point of visiting him early. The oppor- 8 tunity will hardly occur again. 8 To miss it now may mean a lifelong regret, and perhaps serious eye trouble. Hours of Attendance: 10 to 1, 2 to 7.

LLANELLY SPORTING GOSSIP. The Importance of Accurate Shooting. Footballer D.C.M. U I am quite sore that al va wish to keep this Empire foremost we must attain the same supremacy in rifle shooting as those of old attained in the science of archery, That is to say, every able-bodied man and youth in this country must be able to sboot." Such wao the dec1aTé&n made by Lord French on Tuesday. Its ai?nincance cannot be qu.estw,nM, and it iA pleasing to find so many sportsmen in LlaneJly who are persevering in order to become T)ro- ficient marksmen. Apart from its-sporting aspect, it will thus be seen that on the authority of one of Britain's eminent sol- diers the Miniature Rifle Club is playing even a more important part in the coun- try's life and the dictum which he has laid down. should prove a further impetus to them. The club, by granting special facilities to the senior Boy Scouts to use the range when in charge of an officer, have taken a step in the right direction, aa. it is inrmt essential that siich training should begin as early as practicable. ASTOR CUP CHAM PI ONSHfP. The advisability of entering fcT the Astor CTrp Championship has been con-j sidered by the Murmture Rifle Club. For some years the Ijliux^ly Club has been un- able to enter this contest owing to there being no other club in the County of Car- marthenshire affiliated with the National Rifle Association. The club hap won the cuo on several occasions, bnt has been obliged to return it to the R.N.A. owing to there being no contest. It is thought that at the present, time there are worn* other clubs in the County aiffliated, and the matter has been referred to the Club Committee for inquiry. LLANELLY CRACK SHOT. Mr. Ben Phillips, late treasurer of the Miniature Rifle Club, who is well-known i a.q a crack-shot and champion of Wales, has been able to partioipate. in any con- test for some time, owing to iM fcealth. and the Hub deeply sympathise with him. Another prominent member of the club, Lieut..Tack Evans, who a week or two asjo was decorated by the King with the Military r, is now hdme on leave, re- covering from the effects of his wounds. AN ALL.ROUND ATHLETE. Yet another Ian ally itf has gained dis- tinction on the battlefield, and local sportsmen in particular are more than i pier»=#»d. Lieut. Dan Darvies, who is an old Volunteer and a skilled shot, has been pro- j moted captain. He is an all-round athlete, a.nd in his younger days played for the Mill Rovers, one of therthen Rugby ttlams at Llanelly. ANOTHER D.C.M. Another Llanelly Rngbyite has been awarded the D.C.M., in the peraon of Pte. Percy Roberts, who, prior to the war, played for the New Dock Stars. The play- ing members of the club enlisted en bloc at the outbreak of war. Pte. Roberts is the son of Mr. E. J. Roberts, the well-known Welsh International and Llanelly full- back.

The Kitchener Memorial Fund has now reached < £ 337,000. Four Camberwell borough councillors are wrth the colours. Hackney reports a. decline in the preva- lence of tuberculosis.
