WRESTLING MONDAY NIGHT
The rivalry between Jager Singh, noted Indian wrestler, and Fred Atkins, Australian champion, will be carried a stage further at the Wellington Town Hall on .Monday night, when Singh will have an opportunity to turn tile tables on the man who beat him in itis first match in Wellington this season. In the first match Singh secured a submission fall with one of his specialties, the cobra hold, which he showed to M ellingtouians for the first lime, but lie was disappointed because he failed to trap Atkins into the deathloek which, he is sure, would have brought victory his way. He is determined that there will be no mistake on Monday. Atkins, however, is a shrewd and experienced opponent, who will not be easy to catch, lie has his own measures for taking the tight out of the opposition, and hiw jolts, slams, and other rugged tactics are as exhilarating to the spectators as they are unsettling to the victim. Amateur preliminaries will commence at S o'clock, and there will also a live-round bout between professionals.
