WRESTLING
MONDAY NIGHT’S CONTEST Pat Fraley, who beat ” Lofty ” Blomfield recently will be seen in action in Dunedin on Monday night, when he will meet Pat Meehan at the Town Hall. Standing sft Hin in height and weighing over 16st, Fraley’s record daces him in the front rank of his profession His forearm jolt has enabled him to gain many a victory and he makes free use of the flying tackles dropkicks. and flying scissors holds. The attacking hold for which he is most famed, however, is probably his flying toe-hold, but he has many other moves to call upon, and never seems to be at a loss for something to do Though Meehan has been a professional wrestler for a shorter time than Fralev. he - has had almost as many years in the sport, having competed for several years as an amateur, winning the Canadian heavy-weight title for two years in succession.
