Sydney's boxing critics are unanimously of opinion that Referee Arthur Scott blundered when he gave Branni-1 gan, an American feather-weight, the! decision over Sid Godfrey, a 19-ycar-old Sydney "fodder," who has forged ! to the front lately, in their recent 20-1 rounds contest in the Sydney Stadium. The "Bulletin's" pithy comment is as follows:—"When Messrs Patsy Brannigan (U.S.A.) and Sid Godfrey (N.S.W.) ended their campaign at Sydney Stadium on Saturday the verdict given by Arthur Scott in Patsy 'a favour provoked the crowd to great wrath. The job of amassing points in boxing is a mysterious business, and this page is not going to argue about it. But if Brannigan can win any more scraps in the same way the writer will eat his ] wife's hat, pins and all. Godfrey is the ' better performer by a considerable mar-1 gin. It was a very used-up Brannigan who found out that he was not the loser." '
