Drawn Bout at Palmerston Nortk
flr Teleeranh
PALMERSTON N., Last Night. Making his first appearance in the Dominion, Matros Kirilinko (16.S) met Jack Forsgren (17.0) in the opening bout of the wrcstling season at Palmerston North to-night, Kirilinko having to be content to share the honours, although he showed a wider range of holds. Ho was of spiendid physique, like a dancer, and Forsgren appcared cumbersome in comparison.. The 1 it was quite eolourful, Forsgren showing that he was still the bad boy of old. The first fall came in the fifth rrund, Kirilinko following up a series of forearm jolts with a eouple of headlocks prior to picking up Forsgren . f . a dump and a fall. In the seventh Forsgren turned his opponent over to apply a boston crab and equalise the falls, tlie Russian's nimbleness being absent on this Oceasion. The deeision of a draw met rather a mixed recoption.
