AUCKLAND BOXING
MCKAY AND KELLY AGAIN
The Auckland Boxing Association will hold another professional bout on Monday evening between Brian McKay, of Hawke's Bay, and Percy Kelly, the Auckland lightweight In the first contest between the pair at Auckland this season, McKay won in a bout that had a large crowd on its toes. In the return encounter, also at Auckland, Kelly was given the decision, and this brought about one of the greatest demonstrations of disapproval ever witnessed in the Auckland Town Hall. However, northern fans will probably roll up in fine style for their third engagement on Monday. McKay is well known to Wellingtonians, having beaten Tommy Hansen on points at the Town Hall and drawn with Golin Craib and lost on points to Griffen at Petone. A great deal has been heard of Kelly, who had a remarkably fine amateui? record, but he has yet to be $g§£-M ilvi^essionalint the; local ring.
