WRESTLING.
CROWD DISSATISFIED. By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, March 10. Scotty MacDougall was awarded the verdict against Martin Bucht, a Russian, in a wrestling contest. The Russian won the first fall with a reverse double arm scissors. Later, in round six. MacDougall threw him clean out of the ring. After some minutes Bucht returned to the ring and leant against the ropes witn a pale face. MacDougall slammed him three times to the mat and pinned him for an equalising fall, amid booing. When the gong went for round seven Bucht was still in a very bad way, and the referee raised MacDougall’s arm for the decision. The crowd showed disapproval of the unsatisfactory ending.
