WRESTLING CONTEST
BLOMFIELII DISQUALIFIED lR.v Telegraph —Press Asßceiationl AUCKLAND, 9th September. A spectacular wrestling contest between Lofty Blomfield. 16st 101 b, and j FJoyd Marshall, IGst 81b, held at Hamilton. had a disappointing finish in the sixth round, in which Blomfield, though be had the match in hand, was disqualified. The first four rounds were full of interest, both men exploiting punishing holds. In the fifth round Blomfield converted a Japanese leg-throw into an ock'Pus clamp and. with the assistance ol the ropes, secured a fall. Marshall was apparently disabled and Blomfield could easily have secured the deciding tall when the gong sounded for the sixth round. Instead he jumped at Marshall several times while the latter was sitting in a dazed condition on the ropes, and his repeated disobedience ol the referee’s orders to keep back resulted in his disqualification.
