BOXER LECKIE’S WIN
Reed. 9 a.m. MELBOURNE, Sunday. The fight between Johnny Leckie (New Zealand) and Wilson (United States) was wonderfully fast and clever. Leckie dominated the first six rounds. Wilson, who is unused to long contests, landed a heavy left to Leckie’s chin in the loth, which nearly ended the bout. Some spectators hooted the referees’ decision, but the majority thought Leckie was the victor. An earlier message about the fight appears on Page 7.
