HOW IT HAPPENED,
At three, Fraggott was still motionless.
At five he had begun to stir and he staggered to his feet just In time to avoid the "Out.""
Ewin was on him like a, flash and Fraggott, wavering on his feat and with hands at his side took another right to the chin and hit the canvas.
The referee, Mr. H. G. Sheldon, was in the ring by now and ordered Ewin to his corner,
Fraggott, too, dazed to take full advantage of the count, shyung him- self to his feet with the aid of the ropee when six was called, and stood, awaying helplessly.
Ewin got home again on an easy target and landed a second one as Fraggott sagged to his knees. The referee stopped the fight as the beaten man fell over the ropes, head hanging outside and dead to the world.
He was awake two minutes later when he smilingly congratulated Ewin, again wearing the belt pre. sented by Mr. G. G. N. Tineon for the holder of the Colony's Middle- weight Championship.
HANCOCK
On Saturday she beat Miss R. 'Hancock in the singles 4-6, 7-5, 7-5, and with Mrs. Lochner yesterday carried off the doubles against Mrs. Stafford Smith and Miss V. Thomas, the match being won in straight sets, 6-2, 6-1.
Saturday's final was well, up to standard. Often the tennis went beyond anythlug seen before in a local competition..
Miss Hancock went very near to winning in straight sets, and it was only Mrs. James's soundness, her experience and her good judgment at the critical stages which saved her from defeat.

Once the Club got into their stride they had matters very much their own way and for a change the backs were given plenty of chance as they got a fair share of the ball in the loose scrum and line out, but on the whole were beaten badly in tight
