WRESTLING.
BLOMFIELD AND LITTLE WOLF DRAW. (Per Press Association.) HASTINGS, August 6. Honours were shared by Lofty Blomfield and Chief Little Wolf in their professional wrestling contest at the Municipal Theatre to-night. The bout was strenuous and interesting, though not exciting. Blomfield gained the first fall in the sixth round with a body press following a series of fore-arm jolts and three flying tackles. Falls were evened in the last round, when Chief Little Wolf secured a death-lock. In a second professional bout, Herb Brinson (Hastings) beat Frank Sykes (New Plymouth) by two falls to one after a good exhibition. Brinson secured his falls in the second and sixth rounds with a surf-board and jack-knife respectively. Sykes obtained his in the fourth round with a Japanese toe and leg lock.
