PINDER BEATS BOESCH
TWO SUBMISSION FALLS (Per Press Ass&ciation.) AUCKLAND, this day. A professional wrestling contest at the Town Hall on Saturday night, between Prince Bhu Pindcr, of India, and Paul Boesch, of America, _ 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. Pinder applied it again almost immediately, however, and won a submission fall. ■
Boescli 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 drop-kicks, and was then saved by the ropes from another Indian crab. Pinder next obtained a Boston crab, with which he was unable to apply the necessary pressure, With an injured hip, Boesch could not evade a further Indian crab, to which he again submitted.
