Blomfield Replaces McKenzie The fifst wrestling match to take place in Hastings this season is set down for next Friday night, the principais being .Don Mclntyre and Lofty Blomfield.. Mclntyre 's opponent was to have been Dr. Gordon McKenziej biut as the latter sustained a cut above his cye, neceseitating stitches being pu't in, iu his bout with Tom Mead in Wellington last night, Lofty Blomfield will be wrestling in his stead. Mclntyre is a big man of " Lofty " Blomfield 's build and is endowed with exceptional strength and speed. He makes free use Of the aeroplano spin and a particularly deadly flying taekle, a remnant of his football days. His record includes' wins against. "Strangler" Lewis, Eayes McLean, Eric "Tor" JolmsOn, "Tiny" Roebuck, Bull Martin. and our old friend Jack Patterson. His win against " Strangler 1 ' Lewis was achieved just before leaving for New Zealand and a week subsequent to Lewis 's defeat of Ed. Don George. Lofty Blomfield needs no introduction to the Hawke's Bay public. He wrestled Mclntyre in Auckland last night, gaihing the decision on points, and as Mclntyre will be "looking for Lofty 's scalp" in this return bout, a bectie evening is anticipated. The box plan is at Hall's bookshop, Heretaunga streei;.
