SPORTS AND GAMES

WRESTLING. MASTERTON, August 30. There was a minimum of sound wrestling and a maximum of clowning and showmanship in a professional wrestling contest staged to-night between Ali Bey and Tony Felice. A packed house did not take kindly to the antics of the men, who were given a very hostile send-off as they made their way to their dressing rooms. Felice took a fall with a press following a slam in the third round, Bey evening up with a reverse arm bar in the fifth session. The end came in the next round when Bey gained a fall with a press after a series of dumps. ATHLETICS. WARSAW, August 30. Stella Walasiewicz broke her own world’s record for 100 metres, in 11 and 7-5 seconds. SCULLING. TORONTO, August 30.
