SMALL MARGIN OF POINTS
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
NAPIER, Bth December. Billy Grime (Australia) defeated Johnny Leckie (Napier) on points in a fifteenround professional contest last night, before a record attendance for Napier! Leckie was the aggressor throughout, continually using lefts, which the Australian was unable to evade. The bout was characterised by much infighting, in which Grime had all the advantage, his rights [being a constant source of trouble to the New Zealander. Up to the twelfth round the points were very even, Grime then making-the pace, and scoring heavily. Leekie was hard put to it to keep out of range of the Australian's rights. It was Grime's infighting that won the iipht, his opponent's eiforts to make'Mie going open being unsuccessful. It was a good exhibition. Grime won only by a small margin of points. . . °
