CLEVER BOXING
DEFEAT OF FIGHTER VERDICT TO SLOANE BOUT WITH CALTAUX (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. In the best professional boxing match seen in Wellington this year, S.vd Sloanc, of Australia, last, night outpointed Vie Caltaux, of Auckland, in a bout of 12 rounds. It was a case of a boxer beating a fighter. Only nimble footwork and clever bobbing and weaving enabled the Australian to weather several of the Aucklander’s furious attacks. There was intense excitement in the eleventh round when Caltaux dropped Ins man for the count of nine. No sooner had the Australian resumed the perpendicular that a two-handed assault had Rloane again on the canvas, but the gong sounded on the count of five.
The verdict for Sloanc met with some dissent, hut his clever boxing earned him a narrow victory.
