AUCKLAND CONTEST
CESTUI JDI DISQUALIFIED [ Per Press Association. | AUCKLAND, Nov. 25. A professional wrestling contest was staged to-night between Ole Andresen, of Sweden, and Angelo Cestoldi, of Italy. The match ended sensationally in the fifth round, wheu Cestoldi was disqualified. Andresen gained a fall in the third round by means of his favourite hold, the Swedish clam. In the meantime, Cestoldi had been frequently warned by the referee for illegally using his knees and for hair-pulling. In the fifth round there was a violent exchange of forearm jolts-following which Andresen fell to the mat. His opponent pounced upon him and secured a fall with a body press. Cestoldi brought up his knee heavily to the Swede’s jaw as the latter was rising from his feet. The referee immediately intervened and when Cestoldi objected, he awarded the contest to Andresen.
