BOXING.
HENNEBERRY OUTPOINTS KING. SYDNEY, July 29. At the Sydney Stadium, in a middleweight contest, the Australian champion, Fred Henneberry (lOst 81b), outpointed the American, Tommy King (lOst 51b). It was a return bout. Both boxers maintained rapid-fire punches throughout the 15 rounds, but Henneberry’s evasiveness enabled him to avoid much punishment, which he, on the other hand, administered freely to his opponent.
