WRESTLING

MATCH TO-MORROW EVENING BLOMFIELD MEETS FORSGREN Two popular favourites will bp, brought together in the professional wrestling match which is to be staged at the Auckland Town if all to-morrow night. They are "Lofty" Blomfield, the New Zealand champion, and .Tack Forsgren, Canadian title-holder, and the known capabilities of both aro such as to make their meeting of. great interest to local followers of the sport. As a result of their matches during the season keen rivalry has been engendered between them, and they will both doubtless bo glad of having a further opportunity to settle their private differences. It is when men such as Forsgren and Blomlield aro in the ring together that wrestling is seen at its exciting best, neither man hestitating to use every means in his power, and within the letter of the rules, to achieve his desired ends. In addition to matching elbows against elbows, and exploiting many other manoeuvres calculated to wear down an opponent, both have their favourite holds which they uso with deadly effect, Blomlield being ever on the look-out for a chance to apply his octopus clamp, anc*' Forsgren being always ready to make a dive for his particularly effective Boston crab. The match promises to bo highly spectacular.
