The South African boxer, Rudolf Unholz, who has appeared in the ring in England several times during the last few months, scored a rather lucky win over George Justice, of New York, at Newcastle recently. They were matched for 20 rounds, at bst 41b, for a purse of £BO, and after a fierce fight for nine rounds the American’s right wrist commenced to bleed badly, and he went very weak, getting knocked out in the next round. It transpired that while in training a sheet of glass had fallen on his wrist, cutting two veins, and though the wound had healed it burst open under the strain of the present strenuous fight.
