DUNEDIN, Last Night. In what was one of the best wrestling bouts ever seen here, -Jack Speliman (16.0) defeated Lofty Blomfieid (16.6) last night by two falls to one. Blomfieid scored with an oetopus ciamp in the third round, Spellman equalising in the fifth with an aeroplane spin, a dump and a body press. Following three terrifie dumps, Blomfieid was groggy in the sixth and the American had no difficulty in securing( another fall with an aeroplane spin and a body press. It was a hard and fast contest, devoid of showmanship, Spellman 's display marking him as one of the cleverest wrestlers who has ever appeared in Dunedin.
