Jack Jarvis Beats Young Gildo
(By Telegraph
AUCKLAND, Last Night. The Filipino boxor, Young Gildo, of Honolulu (9st. 61b.), suffered the first defeat of his New Zealand visit at the hands of Jack Jarvis, the New Zealand light-weight champion, of Eltham (9st. 81b.), in a bright professional lightweight contest of twelve threo-minute rounds, the New Zealander winning on points. The winner, profiting from the experienee of his former contests with Gildo, fought cleverly from start to finish, using great wariness. He smothered up continually in the opening rounds, which were by no means lively, but later adopted tactics of standing off his opponent and using his longer reach to great advantage. Gildo, who excelled in in-fighting, scored points in the opening rounds in which a bleeding nose gave Jarvis conslderable trouble.
