HEAVY-WEIGHT BOXING
NiCHOL BEATS SEMI POINTS DECISION IN RAGGED BOUT [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, September 13. Strenuous boxing was witnessed in the professional heavy-weight contest at the Town Hall last night, when Claude Nichol. of Australia (12st 81b), gained a decisiou over Selni, the champion of Fiji and Tonga (13st 61b), on points after a fagged 12 rounds. Besides being much the cleverer boxer, Nichol frequently forced the fight to his hard-hitting but very unscientific opponent. The winner’s superior ringcraft and footwork were assets which enabled him to turn the majority of Semi’s numerous mistakes to his own account and win practically every round. The large attendance _ continually applauded Nichol’s determined boxing, and was well satisfied with the decision.
