Some Keen Bouts At Greymouth

The Greymouth Boxing Association held an all-amateur tournament in the Army Drill Hall on Saturday night, when boys from Christchurch, Ashburton and Reefton took part, in addition to competitors from Greymouth gymnasiums. There were some keen contests, particularly that between J Cummings, of Westport and G Pope of Christchurch. The pair traded hard punches willingly, with Pope doing the cleaner hitting. He was unlucky not to get the decision.
