LONDON, August 9. .(Received Aug. 10, at 8.30 p.m.) " The- Daily Express says that a match between' Beckett and M’Cormack will be ratified shortly. The winner should be matched with Cook (the New Zealander), and the victor in tire latter contest would have the right to meet Carpentier.—A. and N.Z. Cable. MURRAY v. RUTHERFuRD. This important professional boxing contest, which has attracted considerable local interest, and attention even from other provincial quarters, will take place in His Majesty’s Theatre to-morrow night, under the auspices of the Otago Boxing Association. Les. Murray, the Dunedinito, is a boxer of considerable ability. His fighting reputation is already a considerable one. Everywhere ho has boxed, in Australia and New Zealand, he has been accorded testimonies that any young pugilist could well be proud of. Close followers of the game in Australia were satis- ; tied that Murray had the ability to become a champion. His stylo is fast and clever, and 1 in addition he has great staying powers. He has only to be seen in action to be fully appreciated. Considering that Mick Rutherford, who is a nativa of Victoria, gave Harry Holmes one of his'hardest contests, it can be -safely said that the approaching contest at His Majesty’s offers some scope for guessin". The box plan is now open at the Bristol. ' 1 j . BILLIARDS. (Feb United I’bkss association.) CHRISTCHURCH, August 10.
