COLOURED BOXERS
BRITISH OBJECTIONS
(Received 6th February, 2.30 p.m.)
LONDON, sth February. The British Boxing Board of Control announces that its recognition of the Gains-MeCorkindale fight has been misconstrued_ as meaning that the colour bar is lifted in Britain. Tha Dominions may please themselves regarding the eligibility of coloured boxers being allowed to compete in. Empire championships, but for tha British championship the present rule barring coloured men stands. Gains and McCorkiudale are to meet again, in March in the Empire championship, but the board's decision prevents Gains from contesting the British, title.
