Its su; port from wealthy patrons did much to put British profes: sional boxing on its feet, The club's original premises near Covent Garden Opera House were bombed in the Sec- ond World War and it now op- erates in the plush Edwardian: style Cafe Royal off Piccadilly Circus, All members must wear evening dress and no applause is allowed between rounds, There is always a long waiting list to join the elite 550 mem- bership, Solomon's club will cater for a slightly less inhibited client. ele, The rules will permit ap- plause though still insisting on formal black-tie dress. Strictly forbidden, however, is any tra- ditional boxing-ring abuse. With the extra money from television and sponsored prizes by several large companies, Solomons hopes to attract the cream of the boxing world-- even to stage title fights de- spite the present ban by the British Boxing Board of control on holding title bouts to which the general public are not ad- mitted, "Tl am sure the board will ap. preciate that times are chang: ing,"' says Solomons, business, His alm is put the glamor of bygone days back into the fight game, Solomons, for 36 years one of the world's top fight promoters, says celebrities won't patronize boxing any more because "there are too many betting boys around the ring, shouting at the referees," He has quit the brash atmos. phere of the big arenas for an opulent world where wealthy fans can dine and watch top- class boxing in surroundings of palatial comfort, Solomons' new venture, the World Sporting Club, will oc- cupy a luxurious room in Park Lake's Grosvenor House Hotel j |and offer its 500 members and their guests fine food and first. class fights for an annual sub: scription of 50 guineas ($157.50). They will also be able to rub shoulders with such eminent patrons as Angus Ogilvy, husband of Princess Alexandra, and holiday - camp king Sir William Butlin, Nine sporting clubs in Brit- lain already offer similar facili- ties, Solomons will outdo them hese: SHERRY NADIAN © «4 WING, / \ you'll enjoy! ing department with 17 and 14 Phone Brights etivery catches respectively, ---- : ITALIA CLUB CLOSES SOCCER SEASON ON VICTORY NOTE Final, against Vancouver Italia Club, Left-to-right, Sergio Latin, Guiseppe "Firemen," finished the they are: (front row) Mario Perini, Adriano DiDanielli, local season on a winning -- Pedretti, Johnny ag a prc a pre ge Seide, note, w the iosed out jelo Bressan, Freddy Rohr, aurice Laidlaw, Germano !
