BOXING
TO-NIGHT’S FIGHTS LIVELY DISPLAYS PROMISED The big double programme which the Northern Boxing Association will stage in the Town Hall this evening should prove popular with the public. Two 10-round bouts will be staged. Matt Hatton meeting Mark Carroll, of Wanganui, and Frank Taylor being opposed by Herbert Larsen, of Wellington. Aucklanders know* the merits of Hatton and Taylor, but Carroll and Larsen are making first appearances in this city. Carroll is reported to be fast and clever with a good puncht. As an amateur he had nearly 70 fights with but two losses. Since joining the ranks of the paid fighters he has had six contests with but one loss, his opponent on that occasion being Johnny Leckie. Larsen will be making his first appearance as a professional but he has a good amateur record and is said to be a very willing fighter, going in to his man all the time. The fight between Larsen and Taylor should be as good as that between Hatton and Carroll. The amateur supports which have been arranged look good on paper. Two novice welter-weights, Hoffev and Absolum, will be the boxers in one preliminary and in the other Martin will I meet Peryer,
