A record crowd at the Town Hall to-night enjoyed a brilliant display of boxing by Pete Sarron (9st OJlb), the American, and Billy Grime (9st 41b). of Australia. It was a battle between a boxer and a fighter, and the fighter won. Grime did excellently until the fourteenth round, when the American broke through Grime's defence, and after Grime had beenl down for eight, nine, nine, and eight, in rapid succession, the referee, Mr B. A. Guise, stopped the contest and declared Sarron the winner. The American is a most unorthodox boxer. but he has stamina and amazing pace, and carries a hard punch in either hand. This was the fourth occasion upon which the pair have met. Sarron ha vine two victories, and Grime one to credit in Australia.
