COLEMAN V. PASHA ON MONDAY

Abe Coleman, the New York wrestler, who has beaten amongst others Ted Ihye, and Billy Edwards, arrived in Wellington by the Limited express this morning, feeling fit and well after, his match with iom Alley at Auckland last, week. Coleman states that he can beat Pasha without using his "flying tackle," to which objection lias been taken. Coleman, who is only twenty-five years of age, won the amateur Canadian wrestling championship in 1925, and since then he has beaten Kiionis, Clarence Ecklund, John Spellman, and many other noted matmeu. Coleman had six matches in Australia for four wins and two draws. Since coming to New Zealand he has beaten Tom Ray, Pasha, and Ebert, while he was disqualified at Auckland last week for using the flying tackle, when he had Alley beaten. Pasha is of the opinion that he can defeat Coleman and is training hard with that, object ih view. A record crowd is expected to be present at the match. Seats can be booked at the Kitz Tobacconist shop in Manners street. The early doors of the Town Hall will open at 7 p.m. on Monday, and a limited number of tickets will be on sale at the boxes outside.
