WRESTLING,

STIRRING MATCH PROMISED. TO-MORROW’S BIG ATTRACTION. Stanley Pinto, the Nebraska “ Wild:al,” and Sam Burmister, the Estho,'iian, will meet in the Theatre Royal to-morrow evening under the auspices of the Waikato Wrestling Association, and the records of the conlestunts give' promise of a stirring encounter. They arc evenly matched, l'or although Burmister has had only one engagement in this Dominion to go on, lie showed clearly in that bout that he is a match for the best. He wrestled George Pcncheff to a draw in a fast and exciting contest at Masterton, and the critics hailed the Eslhonlan as a seasoned malman who would contribute considerably towards further popularising the sport In New Zealand. Last night at New Plymouth Pinto gained a lucky decision over Pencheff, who up to the time he was accidentally knocked out was leading by a fall. This gives to-morrow night’s meeting between Pinto and Burmister additional interest, Tiie local association has been singularly fortunate in securing ilbeso outstanding principals for its fixture to-morrow, and the capacity house that is anticipated should have little cause for complaint n! the quality of an exhibition that promises to he one of Iho most outstanding of the present season. Popular admission charges have been arranged, and provision made for catering for a big influx of visiting enthusiasts. Special at |on I ion lias been given to an interesting programme of amateur bouts, which should act as a fljtting appetiser to the big contest.
