WRESTLING ON MONDAY
The Wellington Wrestling Association lias been particularly fortunate lately in the professional bouts which it has booked, the resultant displays having been uniformly high-class. A fixture which appeals as one which will produce even more excitement than those which have golie is set down for decision at the Town Hall on Monday night, the contestants being Leo Numa, from Seattle, and Dick Haines, of Texas. Haines has been matched in Wellington with the best opposition offering, including Blonifield, Fraley and Lopez, and on each occasion he has given a highly convincing display. In orthodox wrestling he has shown that he is fully capable of holding his own no matter how tough the opposition may be, and when it comes to making use of wearing-down tactics, the ex-cowboy is in a class of his own. Against Detton, Numa showed that he knows what to do when matched with an opponent of the ox-champion’s style; against Blomfield in his first New Zealand match he clearly indicated that rough measures hold no terrors for him.
