WRESTLING
TO THE EDITOR OT THE PRESS. Sir,—First, I will ask “John” two questions. (1) Does he fully understand wrestling? (2) Has he ever witnessed a professional contest? I venture a negative answer, otherwise he would know that all the biting, jolts, kicking, and bumping are part of the game—just cheap showmanship. "John” should try a ringside seat and 1 see for himself. While oh the above subject may I ask when the Canterbury Wrestling Association is going to stage a match between champions McCready v. Blomfleld, for instance.
If it did its houses would be doubled* —Yours, etc., THOMAS. June 16, 1936.
