ONE-SIDED BOUT
FOOTE OUTPOINTS HOGGARTH
In a. badly-matched professional contest staged by the Wellington Boxing Association before a well-filled house at the Town Hall. Harold Foote (Wellington), outpointed Tot Hoggarth (Greymouth) over 10 rounds, states the Dominion. The pair fought at catchweights. Foote scaling 9.3 and Hoggarth 8.5. The Wellington man also had the advantage in height and reach, and these handicaps were too much for Hoggarth. who was gamenoss personified. As the unequal contest proceeded, Hoggarth started to wilt and he was felled for counts of nine in the eighth and ninth rounds. He kept going gamely, however, and weathered the last round by clinching at every opportunity.
