FAST WRESTLING

Rumberg - Dumps Pereira AL’S NECK INJURED By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, August 28. Hal Rumberg added another to his list of successes over Al Pereira at the Town Hall to-night, when, following a heavy dump, Pereira had to be assisted from the ring suffering from Injuries to his neck. The bout was one of the best seen in Dunedin, both men introducing a variety of holds and moving with remarkable speed for their size. The first four rounds were very evenly contested, though Pereira was doing most of the attacking. In the fifth round Pereira brought Rumberg to the mat with a back loop slam, and, using a bodv press, forced Rumberg’s shoulders to‘the mat. It was early in the next round that Rumberg sprang in to attack, and catching Pereira off his guard, lifted him into the air and dumped him "down on his neck. When the referee dragged the two men apart after awarding a fall to Rumberg, Pereira was unable to rise, and he had to be assisted to his corner. He was unable to take the ring at the gong, and the bout therefore went to Rumberg, who watched with some ebncern as his opponent left the ring between his second and a policeman. His head was bowed, and he was obviously badly dazed. WALKER WINS AGAIN Hank Oswald Beaten By Telegraph".—Press Association. Auckland, August 28.
