WELLINGTON, June 20.
A rough, hard, and exciting wrest- i ling bout at the Town Hall, Welling- ! ton, last night ended in Dick Raines i obtaining a points decision over Pat i 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 in the fourth round. Two rounds later Raines, dumped Fraley repeatedly across his knee in a back-breaker hold, which left Fralej’ temporarily incapacitated. He fought off Raines through the seventh round, and in the last made a vigorous recovery, but the referee awarded the bout to Raines:
Fraley apparently disagreed with the verdict. He followed his, opponent and the referee round the ring, expostulating. Afterwards he said: “I shallenge Raines to wrestle me at ahj r time or place, the winner to take all. Just let me meet him in a return bout.” J
