WRESTLING
JAGAT SINGH BEATS HOPKINS. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, August 12. In the fifth round of the wrestling match to-night George Hopkins was beaten by Jagat Singh, who applied a deathlock hold and incapacitated Hopkins for 10 minutes. BLOMFIELD DEFEATS WADE. (Per United Press Association.) Auckland, August 12. The New Zealand wrestler, L. Blomfield, took the decision from Glen Wade, of America, by two falls to one in a spectacular bout to-night. Moving at a fast pace from start to finish, the contestants provided a contest in which there were few dull moments. There was a sensational opening when within one ; minute of the first gong Blomfield took a fall with a dump and press after felling Wade with a powerful forearm jolt to the jaw. The American evened in the fourth round with a dump and appeared likely to secure a win when he lifted Blomfield high in the air in the fifth round. Anticipating a dump, however, Blomfield took some of the force out of the fall as he hit the mat with Wade on top and quickly rolled over on the American to pin him with a body press.
