WORK-OUT OR TIMARU LIGHTWEIGHT

A work-out, principally for Doug Eddington, who will represent South Canterbury in the lightweight division at the New Zealand boxing championships, and who leaves to-morrow for Wellington, was held at Mills’s gymnasium last night. The boxing and wrestling bouts warranted more public interest, clever work from several promising lads being witnessed. Eddington, who was suffering from a heavy cold, impressed with his speed, and it is hoped that he will prove a worthy representative at the championships.
