Lopez Beats Blomfield
Wrestling
[Per Press Association. Copyright .] WELLINGTON, This Day. Excellent wrestling was seen by a well-filled house at the Wellington Town Hall last night, when Vincent Lopez defeated Lofty Blomfield. Lopez secured a fall with a Boston crab in the third round, and Blomfield evened with a flying tackle and body-press in the sixth. The end came in the seventh round, following a series of powerful elbow-jolts and butts. Blomfield hurled the Mexican through the ropes and struck him while he was out of the ring. Ho was promptly disqualified.
