BLOMFIELD BEATS RUMBERG !> WELLINGTON, May 3. “Lofty” Blomfield’s octopus clamp won him the decision over Hal Rumberg in a professional wrestling bout to-night. Rumberg gave Blomfield the worst of the early round, and took tt fall with a flying body scissors and a press m the fourth round. In the seventh round he knocked Blomfield down three times with elbow jolts, but when he rushed in again Blomfield tripped him, and entwined him in his celebrated tentacle hold. Rumberg yielded a painful submission fall. He crawled out on the mat for the last round, but as he was in no shape to continue, the referee awarded the decision to Blomfield.
