The fight between Roy EARLE & Len FAY was over a disputed bet whilst playing the illegal game of two-up known as Swy. After two fights when EARLE needed stitches on both sides of his jaw, he challenged FAY to 15 two minute rounds. Although supposed to be a private affair a crowd of 6,000 gathered on rough ground behind the Fire Station. The local crowd was swelled by carloads from Victorian country towns. Bets at times up to three hundred pounds were placed allegedly 'always between friends'. By the end of 15 rounds both fighters had collapsed and had to be lifted apart by their seconds. Although FAY was declared the winner on points, EARLE wanted a return fight. Single sheet of A4 paper copied from a 1950 edition of the Truth Newspaper.
