MORGAN’S APPEAL FAILS. WELLINGTON, May 8,
Through refusing to box on when ordered to do so by the referee, in •outest with Reg. Trowern at Gisborne on Saturday 14th last, Ted Morgan, otf Wellington, lost the fight, '“The appeal must he disallowed,” said the Boxing Council. “We would like to add that, the whole matter is regrettable. It is impossible to deny that an injustice would probably have been done to whichever contestant lost ;the fight after the initial mistake was made For this we hold the referee Entirely to blame. Unfortunately, we have no power to do anything other than to give a decision under the rules, as the matter now stands. The initial mistake referred to Trowern being allowed out of the ring and remaining out several minutes. A special meeting of the New Zealand Boxing Council will be held on Monday next to consider the position respecting the action of the Hawkes Bay Boxing Association in withholding Morgan’s end of the purse in his contest with Lou Bloom on April 11th last, in which Morgan was disqualified.
