Performance Notes"The Army Championships this year will be concluded in the Royal Albert Hall, that home of amateur boxing, the Stadium Club, having proved too small to accommodate the crowds who made application for seats. As many as 275 Officers and Other Ranks entered for this year's championshipsm and it will be the survivors of the various eliminating competitions that will appear at the Albert Hall on Thursday, March 6.
Contrary to statements mad ein some newspapers, ladies will be welcomed as spectators of boxing that can be relied upon to be scrupulously clean and pleasant to watch."
