HARD WRESTLING
Blomfield Beats Davis By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, September 13. Before the largest house this season “Lofty” Blomfield 16st. 101 b. and “Wee Willie” Davis 18st. 61b. met in an eightround professional wrestling contest Blomfield winning by a straight fall in the eighth round with a headlock and body press. It. was a hard, fast bout hi which straight wrestling and roughhouse tactics were well mixed. In one or two of the rounds the latter predominated. The showmanship of the pair kept the crowd amused, aud at the conclusion of the contest they staged a brief but brisk extra round, which was apparently the outcome of some unorthodox move on the part of one or the other. The police finally got them to their corners and the spectators dispersed satisfied that they had had their money’s worth.
