November 6 - [Thuriya] Via Thein Maung. Today's paper lists an advertisement for a Burmese boxing tournament at Kandawgyi lake in Rangoon, in which the winner will receive Sir Joseph Augustus Maung Gyi's gold medal. It is held on the occasion of the Governor's farewell festivities. It does not mention whether this is Sir Spencer Harcourt Butler.
The feature has a large list of participants printed at the bottom, however the article was not fully shared and only a few names can be read; (1) Bala Sein, (15) Tagon Sein Kalay, (29) Aung Bala Gyi & (43) Lay Yin Pyan. It has a similar format to the 1974 advertisement for a flag tournament where Moe Kyoe was listed as (1).
The tournament is held from Sunday November 6 until Tuesday November 8, starting at 11am each day.
