WRESTLING
WALKER BEATS VARGA. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Sept. 1 0. George IValker defeated Count Varga by two falls to one at the Town Hall last night. Varga obtained the first fall in the third round with a Cody press following a series of headlocks. Walker evened” in the sixth round with ,a submission fall from a Boston crab, and secured the deciding fall in the following round with a step-over toehold and leglock. The bout was slow and produced little in the way of thrills. For the first time in a wrestling contest in Dunedin pennies were thrown into the ring by spectators, who were evidently not satisfied with the display given by the two men.
