WRESTLING STEIN BEATS FORSGREN (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 24. Sammy Stein obtained a points decision over Jack Forsgren in a professional wrestling bout at the Town Hall tonight. Forsgren took the first fall with a Boston crab in the fifth round. The opening phases were characterized by unusually orthodox wrestling and lack of “rough stuff.” The later stages, however, did not lack vim. Stein flattened Forsgren with a flying tackle, followed by a drop kick in the. seventh round. In the last round both wrestlers were flagging and Stein had the better jf an exchange of elbow jolts and ineffectual holds. KIRILINKO BEATS McKENZEE (United Press Association) DANNEVIRKE. May 24. In a professional wrest linn bout Kirilinko easily proved his superiority over Gordon McKenzie, obtaining falls in the fifth and sixth rounds by throwing his opponent about with vigour, hurling him to the mat and pinning him.
