"WALKER TO MEET RAY.
TO-MORROW NIGHT'S ATTRACTION.
It is expected that there will be a capacity houso to see George Walker, of Canada, wrestle Tom Ray, of America, in the Town Hall to-morrow night. Because of his many wins in New Zealand Walker is likely to be favourite, but Ray considers that he has a nttyfifty chance of springing a surprise. In his match against Alex. Lundyn last monday Ray showed himself a clever mat man, and as it was his first match for some months it is likely that he was not at his absolute best. Ray will bo rather lighter than his hefty opponent, but he is not letting that fact worry him. "I have met bigger men than Walker, and have beaten them," he said this morning. In America Ray twice met Al. Karasick, who put up some sensational matches in Australia a couple of seasons ago, and the honours were divided.
