NICHOL BEATS SEMI (Per United Press Association) AUCKLAND, Sept. 13. Strenuous boxing was witnessed in the professional heavy-weight center at the Town Hall last night Alien Claude Nichol, of Australia (12st 81b) gained a decision over Semi, the champion of Fiji and Tonga (13st 61h) on points after a ragged 12 rounds. Besides being much the cleverer boxer, Nichol frequently forced the fight to his hard-hitting but very unscientific opponent. The winner’s superior nn“craft and footwork were assets which enabled him to, turn the majority of Semi’s numerous mistakes to his own account and win practically every round. The large attendance continu ally applauded Nichol's determine! boxing, and was well satisfied wffh the decision.
