WRESTLING.
MICHOT TAKEN TO HOSPITAL. WELLINGTON, May 7. The wrestling season opened here somewhat dramatically to-night, when Fred Meyer incapacitated Rene Michot, tho French champion, in the seventh round of a medium-pace rough contest. Michot was removed to hospital in an ambulance for an X-ray examination of a badly-strained neck, which he suffered when Meyer applied a sudden headlock in an attempt to remove the Frenchman from a posture on the mat. resembling a squatting Oriental. Michot gained a fall in the fourth round with a dump. Jolting and slapping, chiefly from Meyer, marred the contest. SHIRINA BEATS SANTEN. AUCKLAND, May 7.
