BLAME CAST ON REFEREE
BOXING FARCE AT GISBORNE.
By Telegraph—Press Association
Wellington, Last Night.
Through refusing to box on when ordered to do so by the referee in his contest with Reg, Trowern at Gisborne on February 14, Ted Morgan, Wellington, lost the fight. “The appeal must be disallowed,” says the Boxing Council. "We wojild like to add that the whole matter is regrettable. It is impossible to deny ,hat an injustice would probably have been done to whichever contes nt lost the fight after the initial mistake was made. For this we hold the referee entirely to blame. Unfortunately, we have no power to do anything other than give a decision under the rules as the matter now stands.” The initial mistake referred to was the fact of Trowern being allowed out of the ring and remaining out for several minutes.
A special meeting of the New Zealand Boxing Council will be held on Monday next to consider the position respecting the action of the H.B. Boxing Association in withholding Morgan’s end of the purse in his contest with Lou Bloom on April 11, in which Morgan was disqualified.
