WRESTLING

TO-MORROW’S CONTESTS

BLOMFIELD & PENCHEFF

That “Lofty.” Blomfield is retaining his outstanding wrestling form it: indicated by Ihe issue of his match m Auckland last, evening with “Wee Willie” Davis, one of the. strongest and hardiest' of the American Hying squadron who are operating in New Zealand this season. Blomfield is to bo one of the principals in to-mor-row's professional bout under the auspices of ihe Gisborne Wrestling Association, and his victory over Davis points to a good exposition by the Aucklander against Pencheff, whom he is to meet in Gisborne.

George PencheH’ was also in action last, night, mooting Savoldi in Wellington, and losing after a contest in which lie drop-kicked Savoldi tor the first fall, after which Savoldi evened up, the match being ’ decided at last by “.Tumping Joe” getting the better oil n mid-air dash. The ability of Pem helf to pul across the devastating drop-kick quickly enough In deceive Savoldi will lie taken ns an indication of lively doings in Die ring here tomorrow. Blomfield and Pencheff drew when thev last. met.

Good amateur bouts will precede the big match, and the meeting of T. Buscke mul E. Burton, Hawke’s Bay, promises to furnish an exceptionally fast exhibition. A. Read and T. Stevens also are matched in flic preliminaries, and they can be depended on to provide something out of the ordinarv.
