Sacred Heart Boxing Tourney

COLLEGE CHAMPIONSHIPS HIGH STANDARD ATTAINED The standard of the boxing: compared more than favourably with some of the association’s own contests and somo of the bouts were as good as those at the New Zealand championships, said the president of the Northern Boxing Association, Mr. E. A. Craig, at the annual championships of the Sacred Heart College last evening. The director of the college, Brother Borgia, said that credit was due to the excellent training of Messrs. Eugene Donovan and H. Hickey, and also thanked the numerous donors of trophies. He spoke of the splendid way in which Mr. Frank Burns conducted the tights, and in not having to caution one of the boys during the whole evening. A medal presented by Brother Borgia for the most scientific boxer was won by R. Parker. A special bout was staged between two very small boys, T. Kawe and M. Kiely.
