JOHNS BEATS JOHNNIE LECKII
(By Telegraph—ter Press Association)
AUCKLAND, November 23
Harry Johns, of Auckland, retained the lightweight- boxing championship of New Zealand at the Town Hall tonight, when he won on .points from Johnnie Leckie, of Napier.
The winner scored a lot of points in the earlier rounds, and Leckie,- realising he had a lot of leeway to make up, forced the pace over the concluding stages, :and he nearly succeeded in knocking his opponent out in the last round. Leckie, however, left his run too laite, and Johns was a fairly comfortable winner on points.
