BIG BOXING

GRIME DEFEATS RAMIES. S URREM AC Y TH I\o UG H OUT • CLEVER, HARD BOUT. (Aust. ana N.Z. Cable). New York, June 18

At Los Angeles Billy Grime, holder of three Australian titles, won. on points in a 10-rouiul bout against Pico Ramies, a Mexican.

Ramies although a ' clever and courageous boxer was wholly unable to cope with the wearing, lunging attack of Grime who ouitboxcd and outsluggcd him. The Australian reached his opponent’s jaw. almost at will and the Mexican was. a tiled and much battered man when the final bell rang.

Grime took the first three rounds by a wide margin. The Mexican, apparently determined to rush Grime in the third round, swung viciously each blow carrying a potential knockout. But the crowd roared with laughter when the Australian sidestepped these and in return sent biting lefts that damaged his opponent’s face. Ramies was more cautious in the fourth round in which he shaded his opponent by landing several heavy body punches at close quarters. Grime returned to win the fifth badly cutting the Mexican’s eye and lacing him soundly throughout the session. Only Ramies’ great strength and determination kept him on his feet.

Grime during the next three rounds. .continued a constant battci.v of blows to the. head and body, clearlv showing his superiority.

Ramies gave evidence of his great courage and skill by returning in the ninth and trading blow lor blow, making the round even. He continued his attack in the tenth with a slight superiority in I hat session by continuing effective body blows. But Grime gained the decision his supremacy generally throughout the bout- being obvious.
