WRESTLING
WALKER AND RUMBERG Some of the most spectacular nnd hardest wrestling seen in the Town Hall this season should be witnessed to-morrow night, when tho British Empire champion, George Walker, will try conclusions with the American exponent, H.il Rumberg, for the second time. These two m.atmen have enjoyed exceptional success throughout the Dominion since early in the season, but, until last Monday evening nt Wellington, did not meet. Their meeting was eagerly awaited by wrestling patrons, who were not disappointed. A splendid contest resulted, replete with exciting incidents and solid wrestling, the decision going to Walker by two falls to one. The American demonstrated that he was a mntch for his opponent and, for tho greater part of the bout, held a marked advantage. It will bo obvious, therefore, that the return contest at the Town Hall to-morrow evening will bo watched with great interest. Walker will be eappr -to prove bin superiority, once more>and Rumberg will, bo anxious to reverse tho decision on his opponent.
