IRBY FORCES RUGGED OPPONENT TO RETIRE. Inlets Master of Kid Rich at Premierland. IN BM ROUND From Our Own Correspondent. The superlatively brilliant Birmingiam fly-weight, Bert Kirby, who is now matched in an eliminating belt contest rich Frank Ash, of Plymouth, the winner of which will oppose the title'older, Johnny Hill, for Lord telt, achieved a fine performance at E'remierland last night, when he met Kid Rich, of Bethne Green, in a cheduled 12-round bout, but which erminated in the fifth session when the owel was thrown in from Rich's corner. Rich is extremely strong and a ghter, and has never before failed to ast the full distance, whether a 15 or rounds.

It was at once seed that Kirby was he complete master so far as pure ieutifie boxing went, but many imagined hat the powerful Bethnal Green lad nuld gradnally wear the Midlender own, and so secure a decisive victory. ri this. er, they acre entirely istakon. PUNCHING. I Kirby punched so perfectly and with inch force that Rich was sent staggering Lway on more than one occasion.

All lich's ruggedness and forceful work was ibortice, as Kirby's left hand was ever and proved a most successful weapon in keeping his rival from doing my harm. Rich never gave up trying, but throughwit the fourth and the early part of the fth rounds Kirby administered a lot of nnishrient. and though he was still trout; his acted very wisely in hrowing in the towel in token of warender to an infinitely better boy. A reproduction of this form will, in opinion, ensure Kirby's appearance opposition to Bill at the National porting Club. lARTON LOSES ON POINTS.

Clarence Barton, another splendid exponer from Birmingham, seems to have a bad patch. His opponent in a fifteen round contest was Fred Green, of Filackfrlars, who last week won a sensational contest by knocking out an ex- 1 imateur champion. Barton last night lost on points after a pplendid struggle. For six rounds there las nothing in it. He often made Green badly by his slippery tactics along he ropes, but he lost ground at closeuarter work, where Green invariably ept both hands well employed.

Barton is a spirited battler, and if he Mill master the art of delivering his ranches with the 'knuckle part of the love he will. I am sure, secure more vericta than will go against him.

BIRMINGHAM FLY-WEIGHTS VICTORY -IN LONDON. OUR SPORTS DIARY. HONOURS FOR WALSALL WATER POLO CHAMPION PIRDOTIOALLY LANDED. ASTON WELL: BEATEN. At Aston Baths last aighb WaMali Vasedeafly made their position at the head of the first division of the Birmingham and District Water Polo League safe by defeating Astes to the tuna of 8-3.

Considering the issue at stake the play throughout was of the tamest description, A's methods, especially in the first half, being very dilatory, a circumstance Walsall were quick to profit by. F. Lawrence was in deadly form, scoring four of the five goals with which Walsall crossed over at half-time, W. Burns being responsible for the fifth. Aston netted once in this half through A.

Rote. The play was more energetic on the resumption, but Aston's shooting was dead off the mark, many glorious chances being thrown away by erratic marksmanship. Walsall added three goals in this half through F. Lawrence (2) and W. Burns.

scored twice for Aston. Aston won the team race. In the second division Aston IL tested Walsall 11. by 5-2, the scorers for Aston F. E.

Ilutchinson (3), O. Smith, and P. Thornton. P. Seville scored Walsall's two.

Aston also won the team race. Comments on Topics of the Day- Parker's The inclusion of Charlie Parker in the Rest XI. to meet Lancashire, the cricket champions of this year, may enable the, Gloucestershire stalwart to add further laurels to his already long list of remarkable successes. He is within nine of his, 200 wickets for this season, and though it is a big tusk to get this number in a match such as the wicket help him in the slightest he may even exceed the required nine. Parker is the only player who has taken 200 wickets lin four different seasons, and to do PO for a fifth time would be worthy of special recognition.

Johnny Mann, the ex-amateur, who has won all his professional fights to date. is to meet George Rose, the British featherweight, on the same night, and he has arranged to train with 'Willie Smith at Harlow. Smith made a special request for Mann to help him in his work, as he hiqs boxed with him before. When he was training for the Olympic Games event in 024, which he won, Mann was the only amateur who could stand up to the South African in his gymnasium bouts. Not the least important item on the Albert Hall bill is a twelve-rounds contest between Scillie, the 1.8.

U. bantam-weight champion of Europe, and Barry Corbett. Scillie wants a match with Raldock for 500 aside, and if lie beats Corbett in anything like sensational style the chances are that ha may soon be matched with our champion. County Swimming Titles. Two entries only for county aim.

The tourists are captained by A. 0. Wallace, the former Oxford University Blue. such as the Midland professional event, a player has won the title by default. Many instances have occurred in minor competitions where ties have been so awardid through the Lateness of a competitor.

a notable case being that of the Hon. Michael Scott. Royal North Devon. a British International Walker Cup player, who lost his tie in the Amateur Golf Championship at St. Andrews through being late.

On that occasion there was a delay in the field and Mr. Scott miscalculated the time he should make his appearance. The malt, we know, is a foregone conclusion, but even that fact should not deter other swimmers from competing. The departure of Norman Leighton. of the Westminster S.C., from Birmingham hae robbed this event of a lot of its interest, as Leighton was rapidly getting down to Baker's time, end last year was only 1 1-ssee.

From present indications it looks very much as though Baker's future serious challenswill he from his own city of Coven try where, under the able tuition of Mr. Chapman, some really fine swimmers are coming along. Women's lel." In the Warwickshire county women's 100 yards championship a change of title is inevitable this season. Miss M.

Gould. of the Birmingham Ladies' S.C., the present holder, is not defending her title, as in a fortnight's time she sails for with her parents to seek their California- fortunes in a foreign land. Miss Gould's departure will be a loss to local swimming, as, in addition to holding the Warwickshire 100 yards championship, she also holds the mile thampionehip for her county. Her disolave and her water polo will also be missed, as she is adept at both; in fact, it is no exaggeration to say that she is the best all-round exponent of ewimming in its various branches in Birmingham and its immediate vicinity. HONOURS EVEN.

Simile Rule by P.O.*. There is a specific rule laid down by the Professional Golfers' Association," states Mr. J. H. Taylor.

of the Royal Mid-Surrey Club, former open champion, "to the effect that the sectional committee in charge of a competition have the right to determine when ties should be replayed. It is customary to replay ties on the same evening over a stipulated number of holes, three, six or nine, provided the light is good. In the ever! of the tournament finishing too late to a.low lof clear visibility in the shots, the conimittee have power to ordain that the replay shall take place on the following day. Such was the attitude of the committee in charge of this tournament and they were quite within their rights in deciding that the tie should be replayed on the following morning at a certain hour." Atsx Ireland Matched. The International Sports Syndicate, I am told, have completed their programme for the opening show of the season at the Albert Hall on 6 October.

In support of the contest between Willie Smith, the South African bantam-weight champion. and Teddy Baldock, Alex Ireland has been matched with Etienne. the Belgian middle-weight champion, who has won most of his fights by knock-outs. Ireland, The South Stallerer Bounds will meet on 'Tuesday next at lAttlet Aston Villar, anti Saturday, the 17th, at Seedy Mill, at o'clock each day. Arthur Dunn Dup.

Old Malvernians hare an early opportunity to avenge their defeat in the final of the Arthur Dunn which they had been the holders the taiee prixions Old Salopians last season, for they meet their conquerors of then in the first round of the current competition.

Chantley has been played at right back this season, a position in which he has been doing well, while Bowen has always played as an inside forward, except when injuries have necessitated him dropping to the middle line temporarily. It is a rather bold move to make, but the circumstances justify some such course. Otherwise the team is the same as met South Shields, Fox partnering Watson though Shaw is St again, and has a run in the reserves, while Chadwick and Lees keep their inside forward berth with Richards on the right wing in the continued absence of Barrington. Last season Preston had double win at the expense of the Wanderers, who will be represented by: George; Watson, Bowen, Charuley, Kay; Richards Chadwick, Phillipeon, Lees, Weaver.

West Bromwich Albion are breaking new ground to-morrow, when, for the first time in their history, they meet Reading in the League tourney: The clubs have never met in competitive football hitherto.

In recent years Birmingham have not met with much success at Geodison Park, their last six visits to the ground having yielded only one point. The visitors cannot be at full strength, for neither Cringan nor Barton will be available, and there is a doubt as to the fitness of Threlfall, who sustained a kick lest week. The Central League attraction at St. Andrew's will be provided by BlackpooL JACKSON'S RETURN. ASTON VILLA'S ONLY CHANGE FOR MATCH WITH ARSENAL A keen struggle I.
