PROFESSIONAL BOXING.
LECKIE OUTCLASSED.
EASY WIN FOR SARRON.
[CY TELEGKAI'H. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, Tuesday.
I'etc SaiTon gave Jolinny Leckie, the New Zealander, a, boxing lesson before a, lurgo gathering at tho Town Hall tonight. There was only ouo man in the contest. UtfcYcaling ringcrnfb of tho highest order the American showed beautiful footwork and speed to pra.ctically do as ho liked.
Sarron rushed his man to tho ropes in the second round mid drove a terrific right to tho noso from which the Now Zealander did not recover. However, he gamely carried on until the end of tho ninth round when he intimated that ho was unable to continue owing to tho difficulty he was experiencing in breathing on account of his noso having been broken in tho second round. It is not, too much to say that the New Zealand public docs not know how really clover .1 boxer Sarron is as there is 110 0110 in this country capable of fully extending him. Ho proved his chivalry last evening by refraining from unduly punishing n palpably beaten opponent.
