GRIME DEFEATS DECKLE
W. Grime (Australia.) defeated J. Leekie (Napier) on points in a 15 rounds professional contest at Napier on Saturday night before a record attendance for Napier. * Leekie was the aggressor throughout, continually using lefts which the Australian was unable to evade. The bout, howeven, was characterised by much in-lighting in which Grime had all the advantage, his rights being a constant source of trouble to the New Zealander. Up to the twelfth .round, the points were very even, Grime then making the pace and scoring heavily. Leekie was haji'd put to it to keep cut of range of the Australian’s rights. It was Grime’s infighting that won the match, his opponent’s efforts to make the going open being unsuccessf id. It was a good exhibition and Grime won only by a small inaigin of points.
