Hamilton, on Thursday evening and the match should not fall to provide a thrilling contest. Kruse's record is such that he is undoubtedly in the class to which McCready belongs. He is considered to be aii unorthodox wrestler, and a shrewd ring general, constantly on the alert ami n■ -1 easily caught off his guard. He beat George Walker in 1928, also Don Koloff and drew with Ed Don George when the latter held the world title. He turned the scales at 16.6.
