McLauchlan presents a pic•jf- Perfect physical development. It remures no great stretch of imagination to understand how it was that he managed to fully extend the redoubtable Ted Thye for 106 minutes, and later defeated the celebrated catch-as-eatch-can exponent Billy Meeske, -who figured in Wellington last season in memorable contests with lorn Alley and Stanley Pinto. Hughie m i,tman> whose deeds are well known in n elhngton, got right down to hard work Following his last contest here with Sinclair, and where Anton Koolman failed he will endeavour to succeed. Harry Jlamos, the celebrated Greek wrestler, who is one of the biggest drawcards in New Zealand, is to wrestle Al. liarasick at the Town Hall next Monday night. Mamos is recognised as one of the best matmen in America. He has only appeared in this city on one occasion, and that was against Dene Detton, with whom • ,w« st!ed a ' draw, llamos has drawn with Walker and Karasiek, and his return bout with the Russian should be thrilling. Intending patrons are urged to book early at Humphrey's, tobacconist. Manners street.
