WRESTLING
M'CREADY WINS AGAIN [Pz« United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, December 2. The Auckland wrestling public tonight had the privilege of seeing the Indian deathlock hold resisted on several occasions. Jaget Singh, one of the contestants, had won several matches in New Zealand with this hold, but it proved of no avail against the Canadian, M'Cready, tonight. M'Cready won the contest in the sixth round. After being thrown heavily with a slam and forward chancery, he sent the Indian sprawling three times with dying tackles, and then with a flying body scissors took Singh to the mat again, M'Cready easily pressing down his opponent’s shoulders.
DRAWN CONTEST
WELLINGTON, December 2. There was a good house at the Town Hall to-night to see one of the most discussed wrestling contests of the season, that between Glenn Wade and Tiger Duala, but Duala did not appear, and an apologetic announcement was made that he had failed to pass the doctor. As a substitute Ole Andreson filled the bill excellently in a fast, clever match which ended in a draw, one foil each.
