In a professional heavyweight wrestling contest at the Auckland Town Hall last night, George Walker, the British-Canadian wrestler now resident in Auckland, defeated Al Karasick, the Greek, by one fall to nil after a strenuous and colourful bout. Karasick was well ahead on points when Walker secured a fall in the sixth round with a jack-knife hold, and over the last two rounds he had all the better of the bout. In the last round Karasick threw his opponent time after time with head locks, but was unable to pin him. Mr. C. Pollard was referee.
