BOUT AT DUNEDIN
McCready and wade. CONTEST GOES EIGHT ROUNDS. [ Per Press Association. | DUNEDIN, July 21. The first meeting between two undefeated wrestlers, Earl McCready (Canada) 17.0, and Glenn Wade (U.S.A.) 15.11, was staged in the Town Hall last night before a crowd estimated to exceed 3000. The bout went the lull eight rounds and the decision was awarded McCready on points. McCready proved not only the stronger but tc cleverer wrestler, but Wade's defensive work was remarkable. He was heavily punished in the final round and it was only by hanging grimly to the ropes that he. prevented a fall from being- registered against him. It really appeared as if either McCready or Wade could have obtained a fall early if he had so de sired. The bout was quite devoid of showmanship.
