SENSATIONAL FINISH(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) HASTINGS, this day. With less than half a round to go and enjoying a good lead on points, Paul Boescli was cleverly tricked out of victory by Earl McCready in a professional wrestling contest at Hastings last night. No falls were recorded in the first seven rounds, then, in the final round, Boesch had the Canadian in a full nelson with his legs, when McCready used his weight to double up the American, with the latter's shoulders pressed firmly on the mat. It was a sensational ending. The contest was characterised by brilliant, straight wrestling, every round being crowded with action.
