KIRILINKO AND STEIN
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, May 26.
Matros Kirilinko U6st 61b) drew with Sam Stein U6st 4lb). in a fast, spectacular, and clever wrestling bout tonight, before a record attendance. Until the seventh round neither had gained a fall, but in that round Kirilinko threw Stein with two slams from headlocks, and two backloop slams, and took an easy fall with a body press. The last round lasted only a few seconds. Kirilinko attempted to repeat the performance, but Stein repulsed him, and with four Hying tackles put the Russian into a position from which an easy fall could be taken.
