CARXERA’S WIN. (Received this dav at 1.30 p.m.l LONDON, Dec. 17. In the fifteen rounds contest Carnera beat the German, Diener, in the sixth round, when the referee stoplied the fight owing to Diener’s distress. SARRON v. GRIME. FINE CONTEST. WELLINGTON, December 17. A record crowd at the Town Hall to-night enjoyed to the utmost the brilliant display of boxing provided by Pete Sarron (9.0*), the American, and Billy Grime (9.4) of Australia, who at one time was the holder of three Commonwealth titles at the same time It was a battle between boxer and fighter, and the fighter won. Keeping the right shoulder presented to his opponent, Grime rendered his opponent’s right practically useless but the Alabama lad packs a punch in both hands, and produces them like lightning from nowhere. Grime did excellently until the fourteenth round, when the American opened out with all his heavy artillery, and, after Grime had been down for eight, then nine, again nine, and then eight in rapid succession, the referee, Mr B. A. Guise, stopped the contest and hoisted Sarron’s right hand in token of victory. The American is a most unorthodox boxer, but he has stamina, and amazing pace, and he carries a sleep-pio-ducer in both hands. This was the fourth occasion upon which the pair have met, Sarron having two victories and Grime one to their credit in Australia.
