THROWN OUT OF RING
ALLEY WINS FROM BURMISTER,
By Telegraph.—Press Association, Gisborne, August 20.
The wrestling match between Tom Alley and Sam Burmister was interesting while it lasted/ but it ended disappointingly towards the end of the second round. Alley gained a fall with a crucifix and Burmister evened up with a fall in the fourth round by means of a body press. Early in the fifth round Burmister carried his opponent and diniiped him over the ropes and was warned. Immediately afterwards he repeated the performance and was disqualified. Alley appeared anxious to resume but was prevented by an injury to his shin.
