WRESTLING
WALKER BEATS McDOUCALL. LATTER BADLY HURT. IPer Press Association.) New Plymouth, Dec. 29. Lifting Seotty McDougall at arms’ length above his head, George Walker slammed his opponent on the mat with a sickening thud, waited a fraction of a second for him to recover and then dived on him to use an ankle hold, until McDougall signalled his submission, thus ending in the fifth round a dramatic wrestling bout staged in the open air before a large crowd. McDougall was unable to continue. He was seriously wrenched at the ioint where the spine joins the pelvis. The bout was a thrilling one, full of action. Walker was entitled to 60 per cent, of the purse and McDougall to 40, but at the conclusion Walkei announced that, as his opponent was seriously hurt, ho would donate ten per cent, to McDougall.
