WRESTLING

'WESCOATT AND MoCREADY .MATCH NEXT MONDAY NIGHT The great popularity which wrestling is enjoying in. the Dominion at the present time is nowhere more evident than' it is in Auckland and a bout which is certain to strengthen the sport's hold on tho esteem of the public will be presented at the Auckland Town Hall on Monday night, when "Rußty" Wescoatt will be opposed by Earl McCready. The latter's feat in beating "Strangler" Lewis twice by two falls to one ! in the (iourse ef eight days is probably without' parallel in the annals of the sport and has served to raiso McCready to an even higher piano than before. On those matches there could be little doubt as to which is the better wrestler, and tho fact that Lewis was singled out as the European with the best chance of beating the great Gama in India, is an indication of hpw highly McCready must be ranked. Against Wescoatt, McCready will face a different proposition from Lewis. He will be tip against a man who has all the fire and /vigour of youth and who is highly versatile. ' '•"Wescoatt is willing to try everything on attack, even if the policy is attended by some risks, to him Self. and, as McCready likes to have plenty of life in the proceedings, there "/will be no dull moments tor the spectators. Wescoatt is anxious to atone for the mishap which occurred in his bout with Blomfield and it will not be for want of trying if he fails to lower "McCready's colours.
