WRESTLING.
VIOLENT BOUT IN WELLINGTON. RUMBERG KNOCKS OUT RICHARDS. * (By Telegraph—rress Association.) WELLINGTON, Last Night. A brief but violent wrestling bout in which fisticuffs were more plentiful than scientific holds, ended to-night in Hal Rumberg defeating Ray Richards. Both were warned for using their fists. Richards knocked Rumberg over with repeated shoulder tackles and took a fall in the third round with a headlock and press. In the fifth, after a good deal of exciting action, Rumberg dazed
Richards with forearm jolts and dumped him, knocking ‘him out. Richards had barely entered the ring for the sixth round when Rumberg picked him up in a crutch hold, but the referee stopped the bout before he could dump him, as Richards was plainly incapable of further resistance.
bad break for referee. JEWISH CHAMPION BEATS BLOMPIELD. AUCKLAND, Last Night. A bright and spectacular professional wrestling contest between Lofty Blomfield, of Auckland, and Sammy Stein, of America, the Jewish champion of the world, ended in a win for Stein by one fall. This was obtained in the sixth round.
