(By Telegraph—Per Press Association.)
NAPIER, April 30
A technical knock-out in the sixth round gave Johnnie Leckie , (Napier), 9.3 the verdict over Glen Leslie (Auckland) 9.5]-. in their scheduled ten round contest in Napier to-night. Leckie sent the Aucklander down in the, fifth round with a beautiful right cross to the jaw. He took a count for nine, and ivas again down in the sixth round for counts of eight and four. Finally Leckie, again with the same good right, sent his opponent through the ropes. The referee, Mr J Donovan, then stopped the fight, awarding the bout to Leckie. Leslie provided little opposition to Leckie, seldom landing a Blow which had any .. weight behind it. Leckie showed much of his old time aggressiveness and ability to hit. In his recent fights lefts have been practically his sole medium of attack, but tonight. his right was always prominent, with plenty of sting behind it. It was the right which caused Leslie’s ultimate downfall.
