PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Eric Holmbak, the 18st 121 b wrestler with a 57£in chest, who will meet Dick Raines on Monday night, is one of the most sensational wrestlers seen in New Zealand. In his first two matches in New Zealand he defeated Len Levy and Dick Raines. The match against Raines at Wellington is considered the most thrilling of the season. Both men favoured rugged tactics, but Raines, who has long held sway as the “ toughest of the tough,” found Holmbak a little too much.
