BOXING.
PROFESSIONAL CONTEST AT DUNEDIN. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Aug. 16. i _ A professional boxing contest between Sammy Shack (America) and Bobby Delaney (Australia), for a purse ol £2OO, went the full 15 rounds at the Drill Hall to-night. Both men proved themselves clever boxers, and they also did some good close-in work. Shack, however, had the better of style and was the cleverer of the two. The light for the first seven or eight rounds was not of a. very spectacular character, but thereafter the pair invested it with more vigour. Neither was very distressed when the last gong went. Shack piled up a eonsiderable margin of points.
