MONDAY’S WRESTLING
McCready to -Meet Cox The only man ever to defeat Earl .McCready in New Zealand was the twice world champion Ed Don George, but George was not an adequate match for Ted (“King Kong”) Cox, who will meet McCready for the first time in the Wellington Town Hall on Monatly night. This will be Cox’s second appearance in Wellington. In his first bout he gave the Canadian champion, Jack Forsgren, a real thrashing. Forsgren, who met McCready for the British Empire title last year, taxed the champion to the utmost, but in Cox be encountered a man who was more than his equal, so that the rugged 17-stone wrestling bad man must be conceded to have a good chance against McCready, though the latter is this season wrestling better than ever. What would happen if McCready was thoroughly roused is a matter of some interest among wrestling patrons, who have yet to see the Canadian really part company with his temper. Against Chief Little Wolf this week he showed that he was able to cope more effectively than ever before with rough measures.
