ANOTHER WIN FOR BLOMFIELD [Pjek United Press Association.] ' WELLINGTON, June 28. Enmeshing his opponent in an octopus clamp, “Lofty” Blomfield beat Jack Spellman by a single fall in a lively bout to-night. Tho contest went the full eight rounds with a fall in the seventh. For fully five minutes in the last round Blomfield successfully withstood an Indian deathlock, perfectly applied, and reinforced with all Spellman’s weight and salvos of elbow jolts. The bout was preceded by an unexpected incident when a burly individual clambered into the ring, jostled aside the announcer, and proclaimed loudiv that he desired to challenge Blomfield. The intruder was recognised as a wrestler who appeared last season under tho name of A 1 Wahlberg, and as tho referee of recent bouts as A 1 Dane. He was escorted from tho ring by a policeman.
