(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
DUNEDIN, July 24. The professional boxing contest, of fifteen rounds, between Eddie Parker (Timaru), list 12* Ib, and Bert Lowe (Dunedin), list "6«b, middleweight champion, went the full distance, Lowe winning on points. It was only by good stagecraft that Parker managed to see the contest out. Parker was badly rattled in the first round with a left to the jaw, and in the fifth round had a bad time, but by excellent blocking and clinching ho was able to hold off Lowe's attacks. Parker put up a game fight. He was always ready to face his opponent and by sound blocking and good footwork to nullify most of the vigorous rallies of his opponent. The decision in favour of Lowe had a mixed reception.
