WRESTLING
WALKER AND MAMOS What should prove to be one of the finest matches of the season will be staged at the town Ilall his evening by the Aucklana Wrestling Association, when Harry Mamos the Greek, and Georgo Walker will meet. \v ith a very successful record in Australia and America, Ma'mos impresses as one of the best mat-men to visit tho Dominion for some time. A line on his ability will be gained from the fact that' he has recent victories over such well-known exponents as Kotsonaros and Pesek, while in a match with Gits Sonnenberg. when the last-named hold the world heavy-weight title, he had one fall up on his opponent, but lost on a foul. Stockily built, Mamos is Raid to be a wrestler of great strength and speed. George Walker with each" succeeding match is rapidly approaching his best form and his followers view his chances against the most formidable of overseas men with equanimity. Both wrestlers weigh just under 14 stone.
