BOXING.

NICOL DEFEATS LISTER. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, this day. In a 15-round contest for the llght-heuvy-weight professional boxing championship of New Zealand last night, Roy Nicol (12.0) of Oliai, the. holder, defeated Harry Lister (11.0) of Greymoutli, on points. It was a poor fight up to the tenth round, with a good deal of wrestling. After that there was more action and the last round was full of incident, Lister making a determined bid to win the title. A powerful left to the jaw sent Nicol down for a count of nine, but the champion came up still lull, of light, and there were lively exchanges until the gong sounded. Nicol's reach, strength and superiority at in-lighting appeared to give him the decision, which met with a mixed reception. In a preliminary bout, Billy Sullivan (12.5), of Hastings, defeated Frank Prendergast (11.7) of Invercargill, on a technical knock-out in the tenth round of a spirited contest. The doctors ordered the referee to stop the tight.
