- ■ '"" "■'"'" ' ■ '• • (By Cable. — From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Sydney Representative.) |N a bout advertised as for the world's, light-heavy wrestling cham- % pionship, Clarence Eklund defeated Ted Thye by two straight falls at Sydney on Saturday nig hi. The contest was devoid of roughness. The men wrestled according to the strictest rules all evening, and were repeatedly counted out by the bleachers. , ' In the fifth session Eklund applied a wrist lock and hammer lock and severely injured Thye's loft arm. Ted capitulated. - The next session Thye's arm was useless. Eklund went for it and the referee intervened as soon as he saw Thye was unable to use the limb. ■■■•,. . ' This makes Eklund's third win over Thye this season. He defeated him at catch weights m Melbourne and twice at the lightheavy limit. - . tiiiiuuliiiiiiitKiiiiinwiMiniiiiiuMiliitiinitiiirititMitititllllMilimitiiliiliitiiiiiiitliiiillHiliiiiiiim v iTiriiliniiiriinililrii:iliiiiiiiiitltuiiii niiiitlMniriililtinitlilrlMriiiiiitliiiiiilltllililtiiiliiiiriiiii
