WIN FOR BLOMFIELD.
POINTS DECISION OVER FORSTER. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Monday. The referee was kept busy when Lofty Blomfield, New Zealand champion wrestler, beat the South African champion, Frank Forster, on points. Each man scored a fall. Forster took an early fall by mule-kick-ing Blomfield to the mat and pinning him in the second round. In the sixth round, however, he fell an easy victim to Blomfield's octopus clamp. Infringements were constant throughout the rough and vigorous contest, and at times it became reminiscent of the prizering. Forster made good use of elbow jolts and rabbit-punches. Blomfield took a tremendous amount of punishment.
