WRESTLING

BLOMFIELD BEATS ANDRESEN.

Per Press Association

WELLINGTON, Sept. 30. A dramatic twist to events by which “Lofty” Blonifiekl almost at his last gasp suddenly turned the tables'on Ole Andresen, and left him lying unconscious on the mat for some minutes, decided in the fifth round to-night’s return wrestling bout between the two at the Wellington Town Hall. Blomfield, although somewhat the stronger and much heavier, was lucky not to have lost with a figure-four bodyscissors.

Andresen heavily punished Blomfield in the fourth round and pinned him for a fall. Blomfield came back desperately in the fifth round and threw Andresen about the ring with headloqks, more arm-jolts, and four flying mares, but he himself was caught again in a figurefour body-scissors. Badly out of breath, Blomfield jiiiHed himself to his feet by means of the rones and with Andresen still clinging around him fell heavily backwards. Andresen hit the mat with his head and both shoulders and the fall was given to B'omfield, Andresen being unable to continue.
