BOXER FINED.

No Disqualification For Pluto. Press Association —Copyright. Palmerston North, Last Night. One of the 'tasks of the executive of the Manawatu Boxing Association to-night, was that of deciding what penally Bill Pluto should pay for striking the referee, Mr. J. Evans, during the light with Jack McMahon iast week. The decision nvas a. recommendation to the New Zealand I council that Pluto be fined. There was no desire on the part of the executive to see the boxer’s license cancelled, as it was thought, ■that he had already received heavy punishment by the police charging him with assault before a magistrate, which will mean a black mark for ever. It was also agreed that *Plu'io suffered a good deal of provocation. The executive also decided to try' and re-match Pluto and McMahon, as i't is understood that’both are willing i to fight, again.
