BETTER FIGHTER THAN BOXER.

(Received Monday, 7.20 p.m.) LONDON, March 19. Jack Smith, the referee of the Siki fight, writes in the “Daily Chronicle’' saying: Though Siki was the aggressor for the greater part of the contest, in his retreats and evasions the Irishman continually scored. Siki was the better lighter, but as a boxer was distinctly outclassed, McTigue gave one of the greatest demonstrations of ring generalship I have ever Been.”
