GEORGE DEFEATS SAVOLDI. > (Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, November 11. The flying drop-kick which has gained "Jumping” Joe ISavoldi so many brilliant victories proved his own undoing this evening when he met Ed Don George in a special challenge match. Savoldi, who weighed 15st 41b, gained' a submission fall in the fourth round with a short-arm scissors, and George equalised in the sixth with a press after a series of jolts. The first of the expected drop-kicks did not connect- evenly, and George evaded the next one, Savoldi falling heavily on to the ropes. Ho was unable to continue the bout.
