ATTRACTIVE BOUT TO-NIGHT McCREADY MEETS KRUSKAMP

Two particularly fine types of athletic manhood will be seen in nction at the Town Hnll to-night when Earl McCready is to meet Hardy Krusknmp in a ten-round professional heavy-weight wrestling bout. The Wnde-Blomfield nnd the McC'rendy-Blom-field matches proved conclusively that tho standard of wrestling in the Dominion this season is high and the matching of Krusknmp with McCready promises to result in another first-class contest. AVhen Krusknmp was a. college student ho renched ft high standard of performance in various branches of athletic sport. Ho was sufficiently fleet of foot to cover 100 yards in even time nnd wns an outstanding performer in the high and broad jumps and also in other field events, On the football field ho showed signs of becoming a national hero by reason of the hardihood with which ho wns able to stand up to tho rough treatment ho received as a "block." lvruskamp carries into the ring tho ngility he showed on tho sports field, nnd the solidity ho <|inplnyed on tho football field. In addition ho hns a very completo knowledge of wrestling, nnd is nn ndept at limiting and breaking holds. His flying tnckles and drop-kicks nre employed with deadly accuracy, und it is seldom that he misses his mark. McCrcndy proved when ho mot Blomfield that tho great things that had been clainVed for him were far from exaggerations. Besides his exceptional physical development, which provides him with weight and strength, he works fast in tho ring and always npnenrs to have a counter for whatover his opponent brings forward. A man who could defeat wrestlers like Browning, Savoldi, Sonncnberg and Lewis, needs to be well ahovo the average in ability, and McCready hns wins over nil four to his credit, llis wrestling career has been built up on very sound lines, as ho achieved some of tho highest honours the amateur side of the sport had to offer beforo he turned professional. He and his wife are at present engaged upon a world tour, and, when that hns been completed, the Canadian will set about in eurnest to carry oft tho world title.
