ROUGH TACTICS.
Cy Williams Refused a Permit. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, June 24. The report that the Police Department had refused Cy Williams, the American wrestler, a permit to wrestle again in New Zealand, was confirmed by the Commissioner of Police, Mr W. G. Wohlmann, to-day. The Commissioner said: “Owing to Williams’s rough tactics in various bouts throughout New Zealand, culminating in the quite disgraceful exhibition at Greymouth on Friday night last, the Police Department has decided to refuse to issue any further permit for him to wrestle in the Dominion. Williams was to have wrestled on Saturday night at Blenheim, but his permit was withdrawn.”
