LITTLE WOLF PROTESTS
LOSS TO SAMMY STEIN VERDICT GOES ON POINTS (Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. Chief Littie Wolf, a Navajo Indian from Colorado, made his first appearance in New Zealand in the wrestling ring here last night, losing to Sammy Stein on points, after each had gained one fall.
Little Wolf entered the ring draped in a bright-coloured striped shawl and gaudy Indian head dress. Short and broad, he measures approximately two feet across the back and was an easy target for Stein’s flying tackles.
The first six rounds were evenly fought. In the seventh round Stein struck the Indian with four flying tackles in rapid succession and pinned him to a fall with a body press. The Indian gained a submission fall from a deathlock soon after the last round opened. Stein was given the decision on points, Little Wolf leaving the ring protesting.
