Starting off as a dull match, the one between G. H. Nawn '32 and D. P. Ketcham '32 quickly developed into a regular slugfest. Neither man used much footwork, but both closed in and exchanged heavy body pokes. At the end of the third round Nawn was a mass of red welts, but still unconquered despite the fearful punishment he had taken. The match went to an extra period, where Nawn, rallying valiantly, overwhelmed Ketcham for the victory...

...gathered last week around the Aintree racing course, shadowed by the murk of Liverpool. They watched 16 horses charge, as though in a Cossack attack, at the start of the Grand National Steeplechase. Horses stumbled. Horses straddled hedges. Horses fell into ditches. Ten reached the finish line at the end 856 yards. Leading them was one the name of which the half-million scarcely knew−a 100 to 1 shot, owned by a woman, ridden by a former sailor−Gregalach II, a chestnut gelding...
