WRESTLING
RAIMIS BEATB FRALEY fPEB UKITED PRESS ABSOCIATIOK.] WELLINGTON, Juno 20. A rough, hard, and exciting bout at the Town Hall ended in Dick Raines obtaining • a points decision- over Rat Fraley after each had obtained a fall. It was a rough and animated contest. Fraley trapped Raines in a brilliant flying tackle whipped on as a counter to a flying tackle m the fourth round. Two rounds later Raines dumped Fraley repeatedly across his knee in a back-breaker hold which left Fraley temporarily incapacitated. He fought off Raines throughout the seventh round, and in the last made a vigorous recovery, but the referee awarded the bout to IRaines. Fraley apparently disagreed with the verdict. He followed his opponent and the referee round the ring expostulating. Afterwards he said: “I challenge IRaines to wrestle me at any time or places the winner to take all. Just let me meet him in a return bout.” •
