CONTESTS IN SOUTH

Rumberg defeated Tereira by one fall in the seventh round of a wrestling match at New Plymouth on Saturday night. It was the brightest wrestling bout seen in Taranaki for some time. The men were well matched. Pereira probably had a lead 011 points when Rumberg jumped on him and crushed him to the mat. I here was very little showmanship, but a great deal of good, hard wrestling. The eighth round was a desperate one, in which 1 ereirti failed in a great endeavour to retrieve a lost bout. , ~ In a wrestling contest at Greymouth on Saturday night Mamos (14.3) defeated Patterson (16.0). Paterson, whose weight advantage was evident in the early rounds, secured a fall in the fifth round with a thunderbolt and headlock. Mamos evened in the seventh with a spectacular backloop slam.
