Wrestlers To Fight Again
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND. After heated protests yesterday by the heavy-weight wrestlers, Cyclone Negro and Jack Pesek after the “nocontest” decision of their bout on Monday night, the South Pacific Wrestling Association has rematched them next Monday night for a double purse, winner take-ail contest. The no-contest was ruled after the referee (Mr E. W. Pinches) was knocked unconscious during the sixth round after being hit by an illdirected dropkick from Negro. The secretary of the association (Mr L. B. Kent) said the decision was correct. The rules state, “in any circumstance where the referee is unable to give a decision a no-contest shall be ruled."
