BOXING.
CARPENTIER AND SIKI. (Received 11, 11.40 a.m.) London. Dec. 10. Carpentier, in an interview, stoutly denied that there was anything crooked about his fight with Siki. He added : “I lost through ovor-confidence and lack of physical fitness. 1 feel no illwill to Siki, and am sorry fo A him because his irresponsibility has shut him out for good from w'ell-or-dered sport. A most rigorous inquin is being held into M. Daignes’s allegations. I await the result without misgiving. I am only troubled owing to my small chance of meeting Siki again.”—(A. and N.Z.) NAPIER TOURNEY TO-NIGHT. The Napier Municipal Theatre should be filled to overflowing this evening to witness the great “go” between Paul Demsky, the “Russian Terror,” and Stewart Smith, the “K.O. King.’’ Both men are as fit as they can possibly be, and a first-class exhibition is assured. There will also bo four amateur bouts. Mr W. Grant will be the referee. Cars will leave Hastings Post Office at 7 p.m.
