KILONIS LEAVES FOR AMERICA Dominion Special Service. Auckland, January 16. Several hundred pounds richer than when he landed here two months ago, John Kilonis, the Greek professional wrestler, left Auckland last evening by the Aorangi for Vancouver. Kilonis will probably obtain a match or two in the United States, and then go over to England for a season under contract to Mr. R. Lean, manager of the Melbourne Stadium, who is to stage a series of contests in the Old Country. Also by the Aorangi went Pat McCarthy, who was twice beaten by Kilonis, and Jim Heslin. the Australian heavy-weirht champion, who wrestled a draw rith McCarthy on Monday last.
