JONES BEAT WENAND. Kalgoorlie (W.A.), July 27. Last night, at Boulder, Tommy Jones (Melbourne) met Billy Wenand (New Zealand) for the featherweight championship of the State. Both men exceeded the stipulated weight. In the eleventh round the referee, owing to the damaged condition of Wenand, stopped the fight, declaring Jones the winner on points. ■ ! ’ Broken Hill, July 27. Frank Thorn (9.5) and Jim Armstrong (9.7) put up a. rattling good return fight at the Hippodrome last night, one of the best Broken Hill has seen. The attendance was good, though it might have been, better. Thorn was awarded the contest at the end of twenty rounds and thoroughly deserved the ver- • lict. Bill Lang and Jack Lester have signed articles for another battle, to take place on September 2nd.
