ALLEY AND PASHA

to-morrow

RELIEF FOR DISTRESSED EX-SERVICEMEN.

Fireworks of a spectacular nature- are expected at the 'JLowii -Hall to-moirow night, when Tom Alley, the Moiman matmaii, will meet Kara Pasha, the. "Terrible Turk."'' The match is being promoted by the newly-formed hx-Sei - vicemen's Wrestling Association, # and 20 per cent of the takings will be given for the relief of distress among icttiuied soldiers. . ~ Alley is as well known as any of the overseas contingent at present in New ■ Zealand, and can be relied upon to give a good display. Amo u g the men who were here last year he was ranked next to George Walker, and when lie returned to America he won t lie light-heavy-weight title of the world. Pasha will be making his first appearance in Auckland, and much is expected of him. In. a sterling match with Alley at Wellington a couple of weeks ago, when many hundred enthusiasts were unable to gain admission, he won under sensational circumstances. Pasha also beat Tom Kay in the capital city, and lias thus two wins for two matches in New Zealand. Botn men are in first-class condition, and Pasha is as confident that he will again be able to defeat th<J Morman as Alley is that he will be to the task of turning the tables on the Turk. A'number of amateur bouts will precede the main event.
