Jimmy Hanley, who beat Harold Foote at Petone last year, and was to have returned to the Dominion after a short visit to his home town in Australia, is not coming back, x * * That amateur boxing still has good prospects is clear from the comment of a ringsider who watched the Greymouth preliminaries at the recent tournament held on the Coast, "There is some very fine material in that district," he said. * * * In "Tot" Hoggarth, the new Brunner professional, who fought Harold Foote in his first long-distance bout, Greymouth has a coming feather-weight who will make a name for himself if he is not shelved through lack of opponents. He weighs 8st. 5lb. Although he gave away nine pounds, Hoggarth had Foote in a bad way at the end of the ninth round, but in the tenth Hoggarth was all but out. Foote was ahead on points and took Frank O’Neill’s decision. This was the first professional contest in Greymouth for three years. * * * Excuses from a beaten fighter are always wearisome, and it is a happy char- | acteristic of most of the New Zealand professionals that they can take a beating and congratulate their opponents after a fight. Vic. Caltaux is one who never tries to excuse a defeat. After his bout with Hanham he said that, on the night, Hanham was just too good.
