There was a great cfowd at the Stadium yesterday to witness the tight between Lang and Lester, which proved inconclusive. Five solid rounds were fought, and towards the close of the sixth the American was delivering heavy body blows which landed on the Australian’s fending elbow. Lang was suffering pain from the blows and his hand was partially crippled. Lester then turned his back on his opponent and started to walk to the middle of the ring. Lang followed him and was preparing to deliver a blow when the American dropped on his knee. The referee (Snowy Baker) thereupon disqualified Lester for dropping without receiving a blow, and proclaimed Lang the victor. Lester protested ignorance of the rule, and said the America men were allowed to do as he did. He is keen for another match.
