GOOD BOXING.
TWO CHAMPIONS RETAIN THEIR TITLES.
The boxing programme staged nt Olympia by the N.S.C. attracted one of the largest crowds of the season, and all the four contests provided first-class 'entertainment, writes Fred Dartnell in a Home paper.
Seldom has the form been so good and bouts maintained at such a high level of performance, The two championship matches re- sulted in wins for the holders of the titles, Len Harvey and Johnny Cuthbert,
The fight between the two heavy- weights was put on first, and those who did not come early missed a treat. Smith and Shortland gave one of the best displays I have seen between big men for many a day. The former won on points, and al- though some of Shortland's com- patriots from Sheffield were a bit disappointed. there, was no ques- tioning the justice of the verdict.
Now and then Shortland staged a forcé rally and some his right- hand punches to the head and left swings to the stomachs were troublesome. Smith was always rendy to come back again, how- ever, to even up the tally, and the initiative was mostly with him. In the thirteenth round Shortland was floored with a splendid left hook for eight. This punch undoubted ly turned the issues of a really admirable contest, the winner of which has qualified to meet Phil Scott for the British title..
Harvey's Good Win.
As Smith had trained in com- pany with Len Harvey at Windsor, his victory was a good omen for the middle-weight champion, who re- tained his title and won the Lonsdale
Belt outright by beating Steve McCall, the young Scottish chal- lenger from Aberdeen. McCall was beaten in the ninth round, the referee, Mr. Douglas, stopping the bout after he had been put, down with tremendous pauches three times.
