Surprising Decision In Boxing Contest
REFEREE AWARDS MORGAN FIGHT IN SECOND ROUND.
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. The professional boxing contest for the welter-weight championship of tho Dominion at tho Winter Show Stadium to-night between Ted Morgan, of Wellington (10st., 6{lbs.) and Reg. TrowOrn, of Auckland, had an abrupt termination in the second round when Rcforee Earl Stewart rushed in and hoisted Morgan’s right hand in token of victory. Trowcrn scored well with his right. Half-way through the second round Morgan landed a left hook which caught Trowern fairly on the point and he followed this up with a left jolt to the jaw which further rattled the Aucklander. Trowern keeping his head hung on like a limpet and defied all Morgan’s efforts to shako him off. With only five seconds to go to the surprise of everyone the referee hoisted Morgan’s right hand. Trowern at once commenced to prance around the ring with both gloves raised to signify he was anxious and willing to continue.
The moderate sized house demon, strated against what they considered was an over-hasty act on tho referee’s part in stopping at such an early stage what promised to be an exciting contest.
