Hutchinson (V.U.C.), 10 st. 12 lb, v. Lawther (C.U.C.), 10 st. 9 lb.

The first round opened quietly, but Hutchinson took the offensive and right-hooked Lawther's jaw. In the second round, Lawther took the offensive, and there was some good slamming. Both fighters realised the value of body punches, and used both hands to some purpose. Hutchinson seemed to be resting a hit in this round. The third round proved interesting. Both fought well and there was plenty of excitement. Hutchinson forged ahead, gaining points for right hooks to the jaw; but the judge ordered another round. The fourth round proved too much for Lawther, and the decision went to Hutchinson.
