MORGAN V. GRIME. NEW ZEALAND BOY WINS ON POINTS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Tuesday. The fight- between Ted Morgan, lOst antl Billy Grime, 9st 121b, in His Majesty's Theatre this evening went the full distance. Morgan won comfortably on points. The contest was marked by holding and clinching practically throughout. Grime was the worst offender, and in" desperation Morgan threw him to the floor an one occasion. Little variety was shown in the methods of the men. Grime relied practically throughout the whole fight on his right hand, and Margan on his left. Morgan fought hard in the last round for a knock-out, ancl it was only by clever smothering and ducking that Grime saved himself. The referee, Mr. Don Paterson, had heavy work in calling to the boxers to break, and rushing between ths two men in a manner never previously experienced in a fight in There was a crowded attendance.
