WRESTLING
win for McCready (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, Jude 24. By two falls to one Earl McCready beat Dan O’Connor in tonight’s wrestling bout at the Town Hall. Within 15 seconds of the beginning of the bout O’Connor knocked McCready over with three successive drop-kicks and took a fall, perhaps the fastest ever scored against McCready. McCready jolted, dumped and pinned O’Connor in the sixth round with such verve that O’Connor was still dazed when he returned to the ring. After McCready had dumped him once more the referee stopped the bout and declared McCready the winner.
