WRESTLERS INJURED

CONTESTANTS AT ASHBURTON.

WADE’S DEFEAT OF CATALINO.

By Telegraph—Press Association.

Ashburton, Oct. 16.

Medical attention to both men was necessary at the close of a strenuous bout between Glen Wade (America) and Tony Catalino (Italy) last night. Wade’s elbow was injured and a misplacement of the bones prevented his arm being straightened. The limb will be X-rayed to-day. Catalino was unable to leave the ring till long after the theatre had cleared. He suffered a severe straining of the ligaments of the left leg.

In the third round Wade secured a fall with a rocking chair splits. Catalino secured a fall in the fourth with a top body scissors and a hammerlock, and early in the fifth the referee stopped the bout, awarding the decision to Wade, who was punishing Catalino with a step-over barred toehold.
