WRESTLING

G. WALKER AND ALI BEY Exciting wrestling is anticipated at the Town Hall this evening, when George Walker and Ali Bey, the Turk, have been matched by the Auckland Wrestling Association. 'The bout promises to be one of the best witnessed this season. Aggressive in his methods, the Turk has proved himself a fine wrestler since coming to New Zealand. His strength and ring-craft should make him a worthy opponent for the New Zealand champion. A*tcr a fairly poor Btarfc this season Walker appears to be reaching his best form and he should be keen to improve on his rather lean record to date. The following amateur preliminaries have been arranged:—W. Williamson (Y.M.C.A.), 9st 7lb, v. H. Green (Bnyview), 9st 71b; T. Pearce (Leys), 13st, v. N. Silich (Broadway), 12st 6lb; W. Boag (Brighton), Bst 6lb, v. A. Hassan (Leys), Bst 4lb; "W. Hansen (Grafton), list 31b, v. H. McDonald (Broadway), list 2lb. Emergency bout: L. Ball (Grafton), 9st 13lb, v. A.
