BOXING AT TONYPANDY- Eddie JOHN Outpoints Wyndham BLAKE.   Eddie JOHN (Pentre), the flyweight champion of Wales, and Wyndham BLAKE (Penygraig) gave a fine display of scientific and speedy boxing at the Square Pavilion, Tonypandy, on Friday, JOHN'S superior strength gaining for him a narrow points decision.   BLAKE held a lead at the half distance as the result of clean left-handed work at long range and judicious  use of a right hook, but later he received some heavy punishment at infighting. JOHNS appeared to have the issue well in hand in the eighth round, but BLAKE rallied splendidly in the closing sessions without, however, quite succeeding in wiping out the arrears.   In minor bouts Tommy JOHN (Pentre) defeated Dai BOWEN (Pentre) on points, while Gunner RICHARDSON (Trealaw) and Evan PERRY (Treorky) boxed a draw over six rounds. BOXER INJURES A KNEE-Billy DELAHAY Retires At Aberavon.   The final boxing tournament in aid of the Aberavon Canteen Fund, held at the Public-hall on Friday, attracted a large crowd.   A fifteen-round contest between Billy GREEN (Taffs Well) and Billy DELAHAY (Merthyr) came to an abrupt end midway through the fourth round. DELAHAY slipped in ducking a punch and injured his left knee so badly that he retired.   Young LEWIS (Stanleytown) forced Young MURPHY (Taibach) to retire in the third of a ten-round bout.   The chief bout brought together Billy HAMPTON (Pontypridd) and Young HYNES (Merthyr) over fifteen rounds. It proved a brilliant and open affair for twelve rounds, when the referee stopped it in favour of HYNES.
