BOXING
Press Association— By Telegraph—Copyright. .SYDNEY, February 25. The Stadium management is trying tn arrange a contest for the Australasian title between Ambrose Palmer, the Australian heavy-weight, and Alan Campbell, the New Zealand heavyweight, for the end of March here. A cablegram has been sent to Campbell embodying an offer. OXLEY’SIMONSEN CONTEST [Put United Press Association.] NELSON, February 25. It appears that the report that Constable Lake stopped the professional boxing contest at Takaka between Ted Oxley and Jim Simonsen is not strictly correct. From statements made by various parties it appears that the constable was making inquiries as to the extent of Simonsen’s injuries consisting of a cut over the eye. This was resented by Simonsen’s second, who ended the arguments by throwing in the towel. The general opinion is that the fight would have gone the full distance, with Oxley as the winner on points.
