WELLINGTON, April 2. The boxing mateh between Willie Jones and Roy Stevens^ to have been Btaged at Petone on Saturda)", has been cancelled by a decision tonight of the executive of the Hutt Vallcy Boxing Association which was staging the fight. A resolution was adopted stating that j certain aspersions had been cast on ; Jones. Those aspersions, tliough totally disbelieved by the committee, had been decidedly made public in such a manncr as prevented Jones from. making an effective reply witliout taking Court action. The committee felt, however, added the resolution, that it would be unfair to the public, to Jones and to the association, to stage the projected contest between Jones and Stevens until the former had had the ojxportunity of clearing himself. The committee would alford Jones every possible assistanee in any steps he took to that end, ended the resolution.
