EXCITING WRESTLING
Forsgren Beats Russell Dominion Special Service. Masterton, May 14. Eight rounds of exciting wrestling liberally flavoured with roqgh.stuff and showmanship, kept the large crowd at the Masterton Municipal Hall thoroughly interested to-night, when Jack Forsgren (Canada), 16.10, defeated Cowboy Russell (U..5.A.), 15. G, by a fall taken with a Boston crab in the fifth round. Basel was clearly the popular wrestler with the crowd, which cheered wildly in the last round when he secured no fewer than four Indian deathlocks. Each time, however, Forsgren scrambled to the ropes, and when his han was raised as the winner, the crowd hoted him and cheered the loser.
