WRESTLING

BLOMFIELD AND WILLIAMS Attractive -wrestling should be witnessed at His Majesty's Theatre next Tuesday evening, when the American, Cy Wil« liainfl, will meet L. Blomfield in a bout arranged by the Auckland "Wrestling Association. "Williams has been wrestling with success in southern centres, where he has shown himself to be a fast and powerful exponent. Blomfield, judged on his performances in New Zealand this season, snould be a fine match for the American. The latter's rather vigorous tactics should not havg much effect cm the powerfullybuilt New Zealander. Indications are that a spectacular bout will result.
