BOXING.
RAYNER OUTPOINTS JARVIS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) BLENHEIM, Sunday. Clarrie Rayner, 9.8%, of Blenheim, fairly decisively outpointed Jack Jurvis, 9.6, of Eltham, in a 12-round non-title professional boxing contest before a big house last night. As it was their sixth meeting, the bout was not always spectacular, but there was plenty of action to please the crowd. Jar vis left Rayner to do the leading, relying on counter-punching. The Blenheim man was always aggressive and won six rounds to Jarvis' three.
An eight-round supporting professional match saw Yal Borcovsky. 9.6, of Murcliison, win on points from C. Roderick, 9.4, of Blenheim. The loser, who has had experience in Australian' rings, boxed cleverly, but in a bright and vigorous bout Borcovsky's aggression gained him the verdict.
