BRILLIANT BOXING
GRIME KNOCKED OUT SARRON’S GOOD FIGHT Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. A record crowd at the Town Hall tonight enjoyed to the utmost the brilliant display of boxing given by Pete Sarron (9.0 i), of America, and Billy Grime (9.4), of Australia, one-time holder of three Commonwealth titles at the one time. It was a battle between a boxer and a fighter and the fighter won. Keeping his right shoulder presented to his opponent, Grime rendered Sarron’s right practically useless, but the Alabama lad packs a punch in both hands and produces them like lightning from nowhere. Grime did excellently until the 14th round, when the American opened out with all his heavy artillery, and after Grime had been down for eight, nine, nine, and eight in rapid succession the referee, Mr. B. A. Guise, stopped the contest and hoisted Sarron’s right hand in token of victory. The American is a most unorthodox boxer, but he lias stamina, amazing pace, and carries a sleep producer in both hands. This was the fourth occasion upon which the pair have met, Sarron having two victories and Grime one to their credit in Australia.
