WRESTLING DRAW
GEORGE AND BLOMFIELD
flVr Tol(^rnpl>.-l'ffss Association.) AUCKLAND, November 30. The Auckland professional wrestler, "Lofty" Blomfield, greatly enhanced his reputation tonight when he drew with Ed Don George, of America, each man securing a fall. Apart from the draw against Earl McCready in Wellington last Saturday night, George had been successful in- all his matches in New Zealand prior to tonight. George defeated Blomfield in Auckland last Tuesday evening, but the ending was not regarded as satisfactory, particularly by Blomfield, who immediately issued ja challenge for another contest on a winner-take-all basis. Tonight's bout was very similar to its predecessor, in that George gained a fall and then endeavoured to rest content by adopting defensive tactics.
