WRESTLING
McCREADY AND RUMBERG Two exponents whom New Zealanderß recognise to givo the best in wrestling will meet in the bout under the control of the Auckland Association at His Majesty s Theatre on Saturday night. They are Earl McCready, the popular Canadian) and Hal Tiumberg, the tall and powerful wrestler from Washington. These two men arc the biggest wrestlers at present in the Dominion, but their size does not prevent them from keeping a bout moving at a fast pace from start to finish. Ttumberg, who first impressed New Zealanders with his qualities in 1033, is wrestling even better this year. He makes his opponent keep going at his own vigorous pace, and, against McCready, this should have the effect of producing a fast and thrilling encounter. It is generally recognised that McCready's claims to the world s championship cannot be denied much longer. TTe has shown repeatedly that , he has the makings of a champion by his record in Now Zealand.
