REFEREE TO BLAME
MORGAN-TROWERN FIGHT SEQUEL TO APPEAL Press Association WELLINGTON, Thursday. Through refusing to continue boxing when ordered to do so by the referee in his contest with Reg Trowern at Gisborne on February ] 4 Ted Morgan, of Wellington, lost~ the contest. “The appeal must be disallowed.” states the Xew Zealand Boxing Council. “We would like to add that the whole matter is regrettable.” “It is impossible to deny that injustice would probably have been done to whichever contestant lost the bout after the initial mistake was made. For this we hold the referee entirely to blame. Unfortunately we have no power to do anything other than give a decision under the rules as the matter now stands.” The initial mistake refers ' to Trowern being allowed out of the ring and remaining out for several minutes. A special meeting of the council will be held on Monday to consider the position respecting the action of the Hawke’s Bay Boxing Association _in withholding Morgan’s share of the purse in Ms contest with Lou Bloom on April 11, in which. Morgan was disqualified.
