(By The Canadian Press) flALlFAX, 4pm l9--Dick (ma)

Howard of Halifax retained his

Maritime lightweight boxing crown here tonight, outpointing challeng. er Percy Paris of New Glasgow, N. 5., in a ill-round bout. Decision of the judges was unanimous. How- ard iveighed 129%; Paris 132%.

There was only one knockdown. ‘Phat came in the fifth round when Paris was dropped but he came up without a count. Both fighters slipped t0 the deck on other occasions.

1t was a savage flght from start to finish with both seeking knock- outs. Howard landed the harder punches and scored often on the way in with crisp lefts and rights. Paris, the better counter-launcher. was at his best fighting his way ofi the ropes.

Howard set a fast pace in the early rounds, slowed up in the middle ones but finished strong.

Paris’ best round was the third rvhen he jarred the champion with a hard right to the Jaw.

The scrappers were locked in free-swinging punching duels most
