DISAPPOINTING WRESTLING
McCREADY DEFEATS PENCHEFF SHOWMANSHIP PREDOMINATES (By Telegraph—Prees Association) TIMARU, This Day. McCready to-night defeated Pencheff on points over eight rounds before the largest house seen at Timaru. The bout was a most disappointing one, there being very little solid wrestling and a preponderance of showmanship. The pair were not well matched, McCready carrying his opponent throughout.
