WRESTLING

ANOTHER BOUT TO WALKER WIN OVER MAMOS Auckland, Oct. 30. A professional wrestling contest on Saturday evening between George Walker and Harry Mamos ended in the seventh round in favour of Walker who threw his opponent with a backloop slam, Mamos being knocked out so thqt he was unable to continue. Prior to this Mamos had gained a simple fall in the fifth round by a body press following gentle twirling of his opponent by the legs. ELLIOT RETURNS TO N.Z. MATCH WITH DETTON Wanganui, Oct. 30. King Elliot, making his first appearance in New Zealand after his return from Australia, met Dean Detton of America in a professional wrestling match here on Saturday night, which was drawn, each competitor gaining a fall in a series of eight rounds. Detton followed a flying tackle in the fourth round with a body press and was awarded a fall. Elliot evened matters in the seventh with a cleverly applied crucifix hold. The .match opened tamely and satirical comments from the crowd probably assisted to liven It into a spectacular finish. Elliot is a vastly improved wrestler since his experience in Australia. WHITEMAN AND McLAUOHLAN ONE FALL EACH Wallington, Oct. 30. Hughie Whiteman and Jock MeLauchlan scored a fall each in a wrestling match on Saturday night. McLauchlan won the first fall in the., third round with a drastic shortarm scissors. Whiteman evened in the seventh round with a halch lock or doublearm hold.
