WANGANUI BOY MAKES GOOD BARTLETT DRAWS WITH DIMITRIL BOUT AT ADELAIDE. In a wrestling bout in Adelaide recently, H. Bartlett, the Wanganui wrestler, drew with Dimitril. The weights of the wrestlers were Dimitril 15st. 81bs. and Bartlett 14st. Dimitril secured the first fall in the fifth round with an aeroplane spin followed by a clump, and in the eighth round Bartlett evened matters with a step-over toe hold and body press. The bout was very fast and both wrestlers gave a fine exhibitioj. (Bartlett was the light-heavyweight amateur champion of the We'st Coast a few seasons ago. At that time he took the scales just under 12st., so he must have filled out considerably since he arrived in Australia.—" Headlock.")
