BOXING.

ARTHUR CRIfPS DEFEATED.' '" IN-FIGHTING MUST BE KEPT DOWN. . Tho voutli of "Jimmy" dabby Rave him such au adraittage over Arthur Cripps iu. their contest at the Stadium on November IS that ntter being severely punished .Cripps caused the towel to be thrown iirfrdiifliiscorner at the contusion of the fourteenth round (tays the Sydney "M'ornins Herald"). When the men woro in Iho rinp it was announced that flabby •Tvoighed'nst., and that Crjjips lind refused to go on (lie scales. Cripps thereupon jumped from his seat, and addressed the eruwd, telling them that tho articles did not will for him to make any particular weight. Tlie contest was iiboul: (o commence, when it was interrupted a second time. A police inspector, who was seated at iho ringside, called the men over to him, and talked earnestly with, them for some moments After tho contest had concluded he stated that in-fighting had been on the increase of la to, anil (hat he was determined to have it put down. Jn previous contests he Miid (hat he had warned tho men before they entered tho ring. On Saturday night he lind told them that there was not to bo any in inlighliiig, ami that they were to observe the clean break. .If they disobeyed his orders tho light would bo' Mopped" Tho men agreed, and, as they walked .to the centre of the ring. Iho referee, Jlr. "Snowy" linker, said: "I'm referee here, and you are to obey me, 'When I 101 l you to break, , break. If I sav Mep back-step back. It you don't, I'll disqualify you both.' . Then the contest commenced. From tho outset Clabby looked the winner, iv attacked confidently, and at nil imes seemed to httvo Cripps bothered by rea-sou of his unorthodox melliods. Bringing all his ring generalship and all tho craft learnt from scores of hardfought contests into play, Oripps strove grimly to turn the tide, which was .setting too slrougly against him. But all to no avail, and at the end of tho fourteenlh round he very wisely decided tr give up tho unequal struggle, and ordered his tuwcl to be thrown in. He had fought a giiine, determined light ngiDJist overwhelming odds—the youth and strength of his opponent had proved too great au advantage.
