A BOXER OF CLASS
BOS MURPHY WINS AGAIN SOUTHEE SOON BEATEN (P . A .) WELLINGTON, Sept. 4. Following his summary disposal of Tommy Dunn and Jack Duncan earlier this season. Bos Murphy, 10.7, last night stopped Fred Sou thee, 11.4. half-way through the second round of a professional boxing contest scheduled for 10 rounds. Southeo barely survived the first round, the referee stopping the contest in the second. Murphy’s win stamps him as a boxer of class who need not be afraid to meet any importation from overseas. Tie has all the essentials of a champion boxer—height, reach, speed and punching power. He was given an ovation by a crowded house as he left the ring. BOLGER BEATS DUNCAN (p.,\.) DUNEDIN, Sept. 4.

The attendance was over 8000.

Bolster's strong finishing effort, however, assured him of the decision.
