THIRD BOXING TOURNEY AT CITY
HALL
NEW-COMER WINS THE FEATHERWEIGHT
CHAMPIONSHIP.
· FRASER · BEATS CLAYTON IN RINE. STYLE,
The third boxing tournament under the auspices of the Hang Kong Horing Association was held on Saturday night at the City Hall. Although five bouts were mentioned on the programme, two were expelled on medical grounds, and substitutes bad to be found at the last moment. The fans, however, were done out of one fight.
.
On the whole the boxing could not be said to equal that of last season. The outstanding fight of the evening was the one be tween Marine Fraser and Ldg. Sgam. Clayton, a ten-round welter- weight contest. It was full of action, and it was not until the very last roand that Clayton's seconds chucked in the sponge.
"The big fight of the evening, which was a 15-round contest for the Featherweight Championship of the Colony was not up to the standard of a championship bout. Although the contestants were very game and quite willing to mix, they lacked science and ring-'- craft. It was, however, a ding dong battle throughout,

TRIMMING. WOLFORD,
Stoker Car, of H.M.S. Titania, was down to meet Stoker Walton, of HMS, Hermes, but owing to the former being unable to fight on medical grounds, the honour of starting the evening was entrusted to Marine Wolford (147 ibs) and A.B. Trimming (147 lbs.). Both contestants were from the H.M.S. Hernes..
"
They fought a six-round contest. in the welterweight class, the fight going the full distance, and resulted in Wolford losing to Trimming Neither man showed much ring. craft. It was happy-go-lucky affair, and the punches registered. were more or less flukey ones. Trimming, however, possesses 2 hefty left, which he used to adran- tage on occasions.
The fifth round SAW Trimming on the war-path. He was all out to secure the victory, and get home several hard ones to his opponent's head. Wolford was groggy. In the last round both men were out to secure a kaeckout. But they wast ed their energy to do purpose, and the gang sounded, with the verdict going to Trimming.
FRASER, CLAYTON.
Marine Fraser (146) lbs.), of H.M.S. Tamar, the ex-welterweight Champion of the Colony, crossed gloves with Ldg. Sgnm. Clayton (146 lbs.), of. HMS. Berwick, over nten-round contest in the welter- weight class
Fraser, who has made many ap pearances in the local ring, assert ed his superiority from the start. He landed out right and left giving his man no breathing space. Clay- ton, however, was equal to the ce casion. He was wily and kept him sell out of harm's way. Playing poisum, Clayton succeeded in pall ing: the wool over the eyes of the pugnacious Fraser, and dealt out two sledge hammer blows,
The next round saw Fraser play ing: up to the old adage, “Once bit twice shy." He fought his aan with more caution but sent Clayton to the boards for a count of two. Clayton, on getting up, feign ed distress, but Fraser was wise to his dodges and kept out. In the fourth Clayton fought for a while, some rapid exchanges being seen, He again resumed his rope trick This was a mistake, because Fraser 4/318; went up and severely punished him. Clayton was really groggy then,

These two lads fought six rounds in the lightweight contest. Odell although a shorter man was always aggressive, and Manro was just as willing to mix it.

THE BIG FIGHT.
The big fight of the evening was staged last. It was a fairly good show, but not up to championship standard. Ldg. Sgam. Mudge (196 lbs); of H.AS, Berwick, who made his appearance in the local ring for the Erst time outclassed his more experienced opponent, and thus annexed: the Featherweight Cham pionship of the Colony, and the G. M. Young Belt. Sgnm. Shons (125 lbs.), of ELM.S. His vis-a-vir Seraphis, was a disappointment to his supporters.
Shons broke out in the first round, aiming at his man with his right. and his left. Mudge, however, was fast in his foot work, and managed to keep cut of harm's way, Some rapid exchanges ensued, with hon- ours oven.
The men closed and: fought toe to toe in the second frame. Shons then withdrew and on advancing again, received a straight right jab on his chest. This sent him to the boards, and before he could get up the gong intervened. He was none the worse for it.
Mudge had the better of the ex- changes in the third round. He scored repeatedly but toward the end, Bhons managed to pay off a little of his debt. The fourth open- ed cautiously but gave place to some rapid, firing from. both sides. Both men put up an excellent guard and the round ended in a draw..
Not much action was seen in the fifth and sixth rounds, but toward the end of the sixth, Shoas made a brillisat attempt to even up.. Mudge had to retreat to keep out of danger. In the seventh, Mudge still had to do all the dodging. Shons was scoring hard with his left and right to the body. In the melee he received a nasty jab in the face..
