ANOTHER PINTO ?

FRESH WRESTLER ARRIVES

The most interesting event in the wrestling world during the past week was the announcement made by the authoiities of the dispatch, of a man. by the union's American agent to replace two of the men, Eene Miehot and Charley Santen, who had boon working in the* early part of the season, but who left two or throe weeks ago. It .appears that iho choice of a man at the other end, with so little time available, presented difficulties that were hard to overcome, especially as the requirements of Now Zealand for the" second half of the season necessitated the dispatch of a man whoso wrestling calibre would not bo inferior to those of the men still remaining more or less uneonquered. This class of man is not easy to secure at a moment's notice. It was first announced that the "Secret Mar T vel," who has since been identified asStevo Znoski, was to be the man for New Zealand. 'Whether or not it was intended that he should perform in this country with his . mask over his face has not been made known, but the occasion for the question has not been found netessary since it was decided that ho would not ■be the candidate. In tho search for a suitable* man several of thoso who had already; been in New Zealand were sought out.* CONTUSION OF NAMES. Even tho final decision was accompanied by a certain amount of. mysteryon account of tho confusion of names. It is well enough known that many of the artists who aro. working in thu squared ring today from all parts of the United States and elsewhere use adopted names with a view to intriguing the public's interest,' as well as .for other reasons. Tho.ro is an example in the New Zealandcr, ten Blomfield, who wrestles under tho name of "Waiter Browning. ' In this instance, tho name eablcd out to New Zealand was that of Tony Pedisiek, which happens to be the passport name of a man wrestling under tho name of Tony Felice. As Pedisiek he was unknown both to the New Zealand authorities and : ti> wrestlers from abroad, but Tony Felice is a well-known Italian wrestler who has done most of his work while in America on the East Coast, around Novr York and Boston. A RUGGED TYPE. v It is understood that Police will bo able to take his place on quito an even footing with tho best of those who aro still in this country. lie is hoavy, being about lost 81b, six fort tail,.and very rujrjjcd, . perhaps rough,. in .tho ring. lie is clusscd as having the same stylo and ring tactics as Stanley Pinto, and theroforo not, far removed from Dr. liVed Meyer.
