THE RING.

BOXING.

NICOL DEFEATS BROADFOOT. INVERCARGILL, October 6. A professional boxing contest between Ray Nicol 12.1 (Ohai) and Jim Broadfoot 11.8 (Auckland) went the full distance here this evening. Nicol was awarded the verdict on points, after an excellent bout. WAX DRAWS WITH PORTER. LONDON. October S. At Folkestone. Leo Wax boxed a draw oyer 12 rounds with George Porter, of Nottingham. WHITE AND LEONARD DRAW. SYDNEY, October 10. At the Stadium, White, fly-weight champion of Australia, drew with Leonard, of Newton, who fouled thrice, hut was treated leniently by the referee. CARNERA v. SHARKEY. NEW YORK. October 10. Camera and Sharkey have completed their training to-day in their rural retreats, which ar. a considerable distance from the city. Sharkey is still handicapped to some extent by his hand injury, but during his work-outs last week he indicated a determination to prepare himself as best he could for the contest, in which, he said, “ I expect to put an end to all my disappointments.” Camera has not been impressive in his training, and despite GOib advantage he will probably have the betting odds against him when he enters the ring. The New York State Boxing Commission will probably recognise the winner as the American champion. NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION. MR JAMES GARCIA ELECTED PRESIDENT. NEW PLYMOUTH, October S. The new president of the New Zealand Boxing Association is Air Janies Garcia. He has been elected president of the Taranaki Association, and as the New Zealand conference will be held at New Plymouth Mr Garcia automatically becomes president of the New Zealand body.
