AN explanation of his action in stopping a box- ing bout on Saturday night was given by the Chief Constable of Tiverton, Devon, Mr. B. M. Beynon, last night.
THE FIFTH AND FINAL FIGHT AT A TOURNAMENT AT THE HEATHCOAT HALL BETWEEN ERNEST DARE, OF THE LOCAL BOXING CLUB, AND P. T. MCDONALD, OF IRELAND, HAD NOT BEEN LONG IN PROGRESS WHEN MCDONALD LANDED A HARD BLOW..
Dare crumpled and hung listlessly on the ropes totally oblivious of what was happening. The Chief Constable then stepped for- ward and spoke to one of the seconds, who threw in his towel. Dare, bleeding profusely and severely punished, was carried to his corner and received medical attention.
