CLEVER WRESTLING.
WOODS AND BOESCH DRAW. Christchurch, July i. In easily the best bout of the present wrestling season, Joe Kopach Woods 15st. 31bs. and Paul Boesch 15 st. 81bs. drew with one fall each, in a contest before a record crowd to-night. Woods gained the first fall after he had felled Boesch in the sixth round with a number of vicious elbow jolts, which he followed up with a dump, clinching his advantage with a body press. Boesch seemed hurt and at the beginning of the next round looked as though he might not be able to continue. As Woods came towards- him Boesch gave a solid drop kick and followed with the other, so that a few seconds after the seventh round begun it was an easy matter for him to get a fall with a body press from the dazed Woods. The bout was a good exhibition' of clever wrestling.—’(P.A.)
