WRESTLER IN HOSPITAL
SUFFERS CONCUSSION After his wrestling match with Joe Woods, of America, at the Auckland Town Hall on Monday night, the French wrestler Francis Fouche was admitted to the Auckland Hospital suffering from concussion. His condition was regarded as serious. Early in the fifth round Fouche was forearm-jolted by Woods, and the American then lifted him for a slam and a body press which ended the bout. The Frenchman failed to recover and lay in the ring for some time receiving attention from his seconds. I-3e was later conveyed to the hospital in a St. John ambulance.
