WRESTLING

TO-NIGHT'S ATTRACTION The wrestling contest to be staged at the Town Hall to-night should prove to be an outstanding bout, when the British Empire champion, Earl M'Cready, will meet the redoubtable Glenn Wade, who in his previous appearances here has created a very favourable impression with local enthusiasts because of his skill, strength, and his clean wrestling. Both men are extremely fit, and each recognises that this contest means so very much to the winner, not only in this Dominion, but even so far abroad as Cahada and the United States of America. Neither man has as yet suffered defeat in New Zealand, and can therefore be relied upon to use all the skill and strength at his_ command in order to maintain his winning record. Some idea of the interest this meeting has aroused, not only in Dunedin, but in northern cities, can be gathered from the fact that a number of reservations have been made by enthusiasts from as far afield as Christchurch, Timaru, and Oamaru. It may be of interest to patrons to know that both wrestlers have advised the association that they desire a decision, so that if equal falls or no falls are secured the decision must be given on points. It is obvious, therefore, that under these conditions to-night’s contest should be one of the most strenuous contests ever staged in the Dominion. As some of the cleverest of the local amateurs will be engaged in the preliminary bouts these also should prove very interesting, and patrons should look forward to an excellent evening of wrestling.
