From Sydney, Mr. George Watson drops me a line to say that he is bringing across with him his brother-in-law, Tom McGrath, a.-Sydney welter or middle-weight, who 'is to bo matched by the Pahiatua Boxing Association with either Bert Lowe or Barney Ireland next month . McGrath strips at * 10.10, and 1 is, therefore, just out of the welter class m New; Zealand. The visitor's money will talk, and £50 will testify to hds ability up against anyone, the Gisbornite preferred. ; Tom is matched to meet one BiU'Guider aVNewtown, Sydney,, next Monday night. Says a writer m -the Sydney, "Sportsman" of March 19— "Mick Dunn went to West Maitland under engagement to referee the fight on Saturday morning at Andrews' new Stadium, between Darcy and Billy Hannan. Both lads belong to ? the district, but Hannan had only ; rer ■ cently returned from a tour (his' second) of New Zealand, while the new light, Darcy, had shown great form m his two public combats. Mick told mo on Saturday at the . Stadium ; that Hannan fought very cleverly, but Darcy was terribly aggressive and had Hannan m such a mess that the police . intervened m the eighteenth round, and Dunn'B verdict went to Darcy, 'He'll make a great boy, with time and exper- i ience' is the old 1 wisehead's summing up of this new light-weight."
