BOXING NOTES
Rayner and Sharpe was a flop, the amateur preliminaries between Wellington and Auckland provided half a dozen excellent thrills. When the Wellington team visited Auckland some months ago they lost most of their matches, but this time the score was three all. When L. Phelp, J. Imlach, and B. Murphy scored three straight wins, it looked bad for Auckland, but L. Salmon for Auckland broke the spell by winning on points. This success was followed up by J. Jenkins and E. Underwood, who won decisively. ig the match in Wellington between
Johnnie Hutchinson made no race of it for Vic Caltaux at Palmerston North. In eleven rounds the welter champion won only two, with.one drawn. It was a fierce mill. Caltaux’s aggressive tactics gained him little. Hutchinson, one of the most outstanding boxers to visit N.Z., gave Caltaux a real boxing lesson, and _ considerable punishment in the process. Caltaux was warned for butting at the end of the eighth round, and cautioned again in the tenth. It was when he offended again in the eleventh that he was disqualified.
It is not often that boxers want to continue after the decision has been given. Both Hutchinson and Caltaux showed keenness to settle their difference, even after referee Watchorn had declared in favour of the negro. Blows were freely exchanged. Officials had some difficulty in separating the pair. * * * Another professional match that drew a full house was the bout between T. Hoggarth and H. Foote, which took place at Greymouth. Hoggarth, whe was
making his first appearance in the professional ring, showed _ considerable promise but Foote had the advantage of height and reach and scored a points decision. Hoggarth has a good amateur record. He competed in last year’s New Zealand amateur championships. He was beaten by Jenkins of Auckland in a semi-final in the bantam-weight class, and was runner-up to B. Maddern of Taranaki, winner in the fly-weight division. Many good amateurs have been produced in the Grey district.
