GRIFFIN v. "RING.” 1 * NEW ZEALANDER DEFEATED. ’ RETIRES AFTER TWELVE ROUNDS. (Received Alay 28, 5.5 pan.) SYDNEY, May 28. Last night the fight took place between Frank Griffin, the New Zealander, and Charley “Ring,” the A’ictorian. The former scaled lOst 111 b, while I Ring’s weight was lOst 91b. The con- | test went a dozen rounds, and it prov- j ed a very willing one but the fighting j was mostly of the wild order. The result was the defeat of the i New Zealander, in the 12th round. ' Griffin skying the towel. Ring wore the New Zealander down with his lefts to the face. Ring severely punished him, and had him staggering when the towel was thrown in. [Regarding the winner of tho above ] fight, he is a Alelbourne boy, r.nd is only about IS years of ag*-, his proper : name being Charles Carroll. He is tho j possessor of a terribly hard left wallop, i and Harry Stone predicts he will be i| a champion. He recently outed Simon- j I ech, the American, among others, though ' I it is only 18 months since he began in I .the ring. AVhen Carroll gets more ; I I handy with his right, he will make the ' ! best of them at his weight hop about. 1 i Griffin, whose left hand was injured ' I in his last fight at Newcastle, put up . I evidently a plucky fight, considering it 1 5 was his seconds who intervened. Doubt- ’ I less Griffin’s thumb troubled him, and § he may get a return match with his op- , I ponent before long, with better results.] i I
