WRESTLING
BLOMFIELD AND COX AGAIN MATCH NEXT MONDAY NIGHT In the wrestling match at thq Auckland Town Hall on Monday night Lofty Blomficld will havn a chance to show whether King Kong Cox is as irrepressible as lie has appeared to bo so far. Cox's only roverso, until Jio was beaten by McCready this week, was in his local bout' with Jones. Reports of Cox's bout at Wellington this week show that, although McCready won by securing the only fall of tho match, ho was as hardpressed as ho has over been in this country and that Cox at least broke ovou in tho matter of points; Tlysro was plonty to indicate that Blomflold will find matters more interesting when ho tries to avengo the defeat Cox Inflicted upon him a few weeks ago. Tho fact that Cox combines exceptional strength and stamina with real wrestling ability makes him a serious proposition for any opponent, and tho boxing experience which lie had before taking up wrestling nlso stands him in good stend when it 'comes to handing out or taking punishment. Blomfield's supporters, however, are confident that tho New Zealander will do all that is required of him and that his will bo the hand to bo raised at . tho finish.
