GRIFFIN BEATS WALLACE.
Charley Griffin, the New Zealand boxer, handled Eddie Wallace without any trouble at the Bedford A.C.. in Brooklyn, N.Y., on October 19. Griffin did all the forcing, and out-fought his opponent at every stage of the mill. The bell saved Wallace in the fourth round, but though he was forced to take a bad beating in the fifth and sixth, he managed to stick to the finish. Griffin showed a good right, which he used to advantage on the body and jaw. Twice in the second round he scored clean knock-downs, and in the fourth round twice put Wallace to the floor for the count. Griffin also scored a knock-down in the sixth.
