WRESTLING BOUTS

TOM ALLEY BEATS PASHA MATCH AT WELLINGTON. [ Per Press Association. ] WELLINGTON, /Sept. 28. With a fall against him and his right arm temporarily crippled Kara Pasha came out gamely to meet Tom Alley at the beginning of the sixth round of a professional wrestling match at the Town Hall to-night. Alley had won a fall in the preceding round with a drastic hammerlock, so severe that Pasha had been lifted to his corner and spent the interval in

considerable pain. He came out nursing the arm at the beginning of the sixth but Alley went straight for it and caught a wristlock. Pasha turned frantically to the referee and called “Give it to him! Give it to him.” Referee Lack jumped in, separated them and declared Alley the winner. The match was probably the best of the season. From the opening round both men were right out to win and their work was splendidly received by a packed hall. AT PALMERSTON NORTH PINTO BEATS MACDOUGALL [ Per Press Association. ] PALMERSTON NORTH, Sept. 28. Stan.
