RAYNER BEATS AITKEN.
LOSER WAS THE AGGRESSOR. (By Telegraph.—l'ress Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Clever work at close quarters, rugged fighting in the' open and a clever defence earned for Clarrie Rayner (Blenheim) a decision on points over Billy Aitken (Wellington), in a fifteen-round professional feather-weight boxing match in the Town Hall at Wellington last night. A crowded house witnessed an interesting and exciting contest. Raynerweight was 9.6, and Aitken's 8.12. Aitken was the aggressor from the outset.
