TO MEET IKE ROBIN. AT THE TOWN HALL ON MONDAY. It is evident that the celebrated Polish wrestler, Stanislaus Zbyszko, who is aboard the Niagara and is due to wrestle the New Zealand champion, Ike Robin, ' at the Town Hall on Monday night is taking no chances on being caught out • of condition. His manager, Emil ' Klang. sent the following radio message • to the "Star" to-day: "Stanislaus Zbyszko, world's champion wrestler, i has been working out daily on board 1 the Niagara. He will be at his best j : when he. meets the local wrestler at ,' Auckland on Monday night." .< Ike Robin, who took on the match ' at short notice for the unusual experience it would give him, arrived in Auckland to-day. The bout will be a meeting of giants, for Zbyszko strips at IGst 81b when fit, and Robin at the moment turns the • scale at over 17st. The New Zealander has j'outh on his side, but there is the i experience of a thousand bouts in favour of the' Polish champion. !
