INDIAN “DEATHLOCK”

JAGAT SINGH FAILS win for McCready, [ Per Press Association. ] AUCKLAND, Dec. 2 The Auckland wrestling public tonight had the privilege of seeing the Indian “deathlock” hold resisted on several occasions. Jagat Singh, one of the contestants, had won several matches in New Zealand with this hold, but it proved of no avail against the Canadian McCready to-night. McCready won the contest in the sixth round. After being thrown heavily with a slam and forward chancery, he sent the Indian sprawling three times with flying tackles and then with a flying body scisors took Singh to the mat again, McCready easily pressing down h’.3 opponent ’s shoulders. BOLT AT WELLINGTON DU ALA. FAILS TO APPEAR. OLE ANDRESEN SUBSTITUTES. [ Per Press Association. ) WELLINGTON, Dec. 2. There was a good house at the Town Hall to-night to see one of the most discussed wrestling contests of the season, that between Glenn Wade and Tiger Duala, but IDuala di'J not appear and an apologetic announcement was made that he had failed to pass the doctor. As a substitute Ole Andresen filled the bill excellently in a fast, clever match, which ended in a draw, one fall each.
