-By Telegraph — Copyright).
Rec. May 31, 9.50 p.m. Sydney, May 31. During the suit for a breach of eontract brought to-day by seven plaintiffs, styling themselves the "All British Arena Syndicate," against the British. light weight boxer, AL Foreman, counsel for plaintiffs declared that when preparations for the fight between Foreman and Delaney, were being made last year, Foreman stipulated that he should receive the decision in the sixth round, to which plaintiffs agreed formally, in order to get hina into the ring. Foreman also claimed 30 per cent. of the takings. He refused to enter the ring until £450 had been paid over in addition to a cheque for £100. The cheque, however, was to be returned to the plaintiffs if tbe fight was stopped at the sixth round. j Foreman duly claimed the decision in the sixth round on a foul, but the referee ordered the contest to proceed, and gave Foreman the decision on points at the> end of the 15th round. Foreman then refused to return the cheque for £100. The case has been partly heard.
