LIGHTWEIGHT BOXING
JOHNS QUTPOINTS LECKIE AUCKLAND, last night. Harry Johns retained the lightweight hoxing championship of New Zealand at the Town Hall *to-night 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 nearly succeeded in knocking his opponent out in the last round. Leckie, however, left his running too late, and Johns had a faiiiy comfortable win on points.
