Burmister Disqualified In Match With Alley
Per Press Association. GISBORNE, Last Night. The match between Tom Alley and Sam Bannister was interesting while it lasted, but it ended disappointingly. Towarus the end of the second round Alley gained a fall with a crucifix and Burmister evened up with a fall in the fourth round by means of a body press. Early in the fifth round Burmister carried his opponent and dumped him over the ropes and was warned. Immediately afterwards, however, he repeated the performance and was disqualified. Alley appeared anxious to resume, but was prevented by an injury to the shin.
