BOXING
REASON FOR HEAVYWEIGHT FIASCOS. (DOTTM PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPTIUOHT.) (SYDNEY SUN CABLE.) LONDON, 25th November. Tom Webster, in an article in the "Weekly Dispatch," asks: "W>y does the present-day heavyweight fight usually end in a fiasco?" He answers the question himself: "There is too much at stake nowadays for the men to do themselves justice. Defeat, while not meaning exactly oblivion, practically puts a boxer out of the running for any real big money. Men like Georges Carpentiet find the responsibility an incentive, but it is a handicap to men of lesser mental calibre, of which the British ring is composed to-day." '
