Local Boxers Have Success At Palmerston North
Plenty of promise was shown in the bouts at the Kiwi Sports Club, PAmerston North, on Saturday night between boxers from the Kiwi Club, Pahiatua and Levin. Out of a total of 11 fights the Kiwi Club were successful in winning eight and Levin three. The standard of boxing was high and some exciting bouts were seen. What the boxers lacked in skill they made up for with their aggressiveness and determination. The local boxers' fights resulted as follows: — Paperweight: J. Procter (Levin) 5.4 beat W. Lissington (Kiwi) 5.14; M. Maher (Levin) 5.6, beat R. Lissington (Kiwi) 5.3. Flyweight: H. Knuth (Kiwi) 7.4 beat K. Hesp (Levin) 7.6; W. Travers (Levin) 6.11 beat B. Perry (Kiwi) 6.11. . . Lightweight: M. Hart (Kiwi) 9.10, beat J. Harris (Levin) 9.5. Catchweight: R. Leader (Kiwi) 9.5 beat K. Bibby (Levin) 9.12. At the close of the tournament trophies donated by the Manawatu Boxing Association were presented to the winners of the evening by Mr. G. W. Watcnhorn. J. Henderson, of Pahiatua, carried away the prize for the gamest loser. The referee was Mr. A. Cartin. » " - - " - — -
