A DRAWN BOUT.
HUGHES-FITZGfeRALD MATCH. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, April 9. A professional lightweight boxing contest between Archie Hughes (Auckland) and Jack Fitzgerald (Australia) ended in a draw, the judges disagreeing. The referee’s decision met with a very, mixed reception. Fitzgerald proved himself the cleverest defensive boxer seen in Auckland for years, his opponent being at a loss to know how to hit him. Whenever Fitzgerald chose to open out he piled on points with a straight left, varied occasionally with a right cross, and appeared to hold a comfortable margin at the finish.
