(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Sunday. Pinned for a fall in the first ten seconds of the bout after a hurricane drop-kick attack had taken him by surprise, Earl McCready, Canada, snatched victory by two falls to one in the -last round of his eagerly-awaited match with Paul Bocsch, United States, last evening. It was a fast and clever contest, in which each wrestler in turn showed great endurance in withstanding holds which appeared certain to earn submission falls. In the seventh round McCready secured a fall with a bodypress after three terrific slams. At first it seemed unlikely that Boesch would be able to resume, but he came out for the eighth round with another flying tacklc. McCready evaded it, and easily slammed Boesch to the mat and secured the winning fall after a heavy dump. LURICH IN TROUBLE AGAIN. SYDNEY, August 16.
