McQUABIUE KNOCKS McCLEARY. AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. DUNEDIN, June 20. The contest between Brian MeClenr.v heavyweight champion (Christchurch), and Paul AlcQuarrie (Bluff), for the New Zealand heavyweight title, attracted a big attendance to His Majesty’s Theatre to-nighi. The purse was £l5O, the winner to get £IOO and the loser £SO. McCleary’s weight was 11.}) u.nd MrQunrrie’s 12.7. The champion’s chances were generally favoured, his opponent being about 10 years his senior. McClenry early proved that lie was easily the better boxer, and for round after round piled up points. MeQuarrio stood heavy punishment, and had the champion’s blows carried weight, the challenger must have been knocked out. On the other hand McQuarrie, though lacking McCleary’s knowledge, carried a heavy punch, especially with his right. M'he* the 13th round opened MeClear.v had a big margin of points to his credit, and the end of the contest came so suddenly that the big crowd could hardly realise what had happened. MeCleary connected with a straight left, and before he could recover MrQnarrie swung a. hard right to the jaw, the champion going down for two minutes.
