MURRAY BEATS RUTHERFORD. By Telegraph. —Press Association. Dunedin, August 12. A fifteen-round professional light-weight boxing contest between Mick Rutherford (New South Wales) and Les Murray (Dunedin) was fought in His Majesty 8 Theatre to-night before a capacity house. The contest only lasted nine rounds, Rutherford being unable to continue further. The local man was aggressive from the start, the visitor having to box on the retreat, and the points of each round were eecured by Murray, whose short jolts gradually wore his opponent down. At tho • end of the ninth round Rutherford's seconds threw in the towel.
