EACH TAKES A FALL
BOUT ENDS IN DRAW LOPEZ AND RAINES (Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. The best wrestling bout of the Christchureh season ended in a draw last night, when Vincent Lope/, drew with Dick Raines, one fall each. A penalty fall was given against Lopez in the fifth round for punching. Both men disputed the verdict fiercely and the police had to separate them after the referee had tried to break them apart. Lopez, after appearing to stun Raines with elbow jolts in a fast last round, took a spectacular Boston crab and evened the score.
