Boxing Tourney At Gisborne

(N.Z. Press Association) GISBORNE, May 14. The Gisborne middleweight Roy Skuse, scored a convincing win on points over the rugged Wellington boxer, Len Iva. in a six-round feature bout at the Gisborne Boxing Association’s amateur tournament on Saturday. One judge gave Skuse every round, another five out of six, and the third, four rounds. Skuse used his longer reach, smart footwork, and twohanded punching to amass points, particularly with a rapier-like right Severe Earthquake.— The most severe earthquake for some time shook Palmerston North and the district at 12.13 p.m. yesterday. It lasted for about 10 seconds and in many areas was accompanied by a loud rumbling. The shake was also felt in Pahiatua. No damage has been reported, but it is understood some households suffered minor breakages from falling articles. —(PA.)
