FINDER BEATS BOESCH [Pee United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, September 10. A contest at the Town Hall on Saturday night between “ Prince ” Bhu Finder and Paul Bocsch was won by the former by two submission falls. In the sixth round Boesch resisted and actually broke his opponent’s favourite match-winning hold, the Indian crab. Finder applied it again almost immediately, however, and won a submission fall. Boesch lay on the mat for the greater part of the interval and then rose and limped to his corner with the assistance of his second. He was massaged, but came out limping at the gong. He made a last effort with dropkicks, and was then saved by the ropes from another Indian crab. Finder next obtained a Boston crab with which he was unable to apply the necessary pressure. With his injured hip Boesch could not evade a further Indian crab, to which he again submitted. BLOMFIELD BEATS MARTINEZ [Per United Press Association.] (HSBORNE, September 10.
