During' the first few rounds, Siki forced the fight. McTigue, not attempting to reply to the negro’s wild swipes, was content to remain on the defensive. The fight was of pool-' character. Up to the 11th, Siki was ahead on points, hut McTigue then livened up and established a good lead, and in the eighteenth had Siki groggy, but recovered, and fighting cunningly, kept off the Irishman, who was now very aggressive, and scoring rapidly. He succeeded in well outpointing his opponent. —A. and N.Z. Cable.
