SUNDRY SPORTS.

SCULLING.

(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (United Press Association.) London, September 17.

Barry was the guest of rowing men at a dinner. He .paid a tribute to Arnst's ability as a racer. He felt that his only chance was to hold Arnst until smooth water was reached, where his reserve power was just sufficient to enable him to win. BOXING. London, September 16. Mehegan defeated Wells in the fourteenth round on a foul for the light-weight championship of the British Empire. There was almost continued clinching. Wells had the best of the first eight rounds, but Mehegan's hard, fierce body punches thereafter had effect. Wells was badly cut about the face, and bled profusely; He made a great rally in the thirteenth round, but could not keep it up. Mehegan recovered well, and was able to take punishment. Wells was very weak, and in the fourteenth round was disqualified for striking Mehegan twice after the gong sounded. There was little real boxing. The opinion is that Mehegan would have won apart from the disqualification.
