WRESTLING.
The Palmerston North Wrestling Association has succeeded in booking a major attraction for the Opera House next Saturday night, when Fred Atkins, holder of the Australian title for tho past two years, will meet Jaget Singh, outstanding product of the Great Gama’s famous school of wrestling at Lahore. Both men have made their mark in facing the toughest proposition the game has to offer and any bout between them can bo depended upon to produce highly skilled matwork with the speed and spectacle that have made tho modern sport what it is. The opportunity of seeing Atkins matched with the Indian will appeal to all followers of the sport. The tall and powerful Australian not only has a magnetic ring personality but ranks with the toughest visitors in the past such as Jack Forsgren and King Kong Cox.
