WRESTLING
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, July 3,
In a professional wrestling bout tonight, Dan O'Connor -beat Dick Raines by two falls (one a penalty) to one. Raines scored the first fall with a boston crab in the fourth round. O'Connor evened in the seventh, with a body press after a drop kick. The last round was very willing. Raines sent O'Connor through the ropes, and the referee was involved in a free-for-all which followed. Eventually O'Connor was awarded a penalty fall and the match.
