WRESTLING
ATKINS TO MEET McGINTY A fine wrestling bout is anticipated at tho Town Hall next Monday night when "Tiger" Atkins will meet the well-performed Irish mntman, "Iron Man" McGinty, under the control of the New Century Sports Club. An Australian writer describes Atkins as the strongest and most relentless wrestler seen in that country. McGinty claims more than average successes against those in active wrestling competition with victories over Cus Sonnenberg, Dr. Fred Mayer, Sammy Stein and Mike Muzurki and a draw with Danno O'Mahoney. Ho should therefore prove a popular wrestler in New Zealand. The main bout will be preceded by three pioiessional all-in preliminaries.
