SYDNEY BOUT LURICH BEATS BROWNING • (Received September 10. 7.5 p.m.) SYDNEY, September 9. At the Leichhardt Stadium, Lurich easily beat Walter Browning by two falls to none. WALKER BEATS VARGA (TRKSS ASSOCIATION TF.t.EORA.V.) DUNEDIN, September 10. George Walker defeated Joseph Varga by two falls to orve at the Town Hall last night. Varga obtained the first fall in the third round with a body press, after a series of headlocks. Walker evened in the sixth round with a submission fall from a Boston crab, and secured the deciding fall in the following round with a step-over toe hold and a key lock. The bout was slow and produced little in the way of thrills. For the first time in a wrestling contest in Dunedin pennies were thrown into the ring by the spectators, who evidently were not satisfied with the display. GEORGE WALKER V. COUNT VARGA George Walker, the British Empire champion, will again wrestle at Christchurch this evening, when he will be matched against Count Joseph Varga, of Hungary, at St. James* Theatre. Before the international match of eight 10-minute rounds, the Canterbury amateur championships will be concluded with the following finals:— Light-weight—J. F. Genet v. F. T. Brooks. Welter-weight—W. Mitchell v. P. Kane. Middle-weight—W. Mitchell v. J. F. Martin. In the semi-final of the light-heavy-weight class, D. Lloyd will wrestle A. K. Asher, and the winner will meet C. A. Voice in the final the same evening.
