WRESTLING.
EKLUND V. WALKER. (By Telegraph—Press Association). AUCKLAND, October 1. The professional wrestling contest between George Walker (heavyweight champion of Canada) and Clarence Eklund (light-heavyweight champion of the world) drew a large crowd at the • : Town Hall to-night. The contest ended in a draw after each man had sec- . ured one fall. Elclund gained a fall with a reverse armlock in the sixth round, Walker * evening matters in the next round, af- “ , ter .making his opponent groggy by three times rushing him, gripping his legs, and tipping him oyer backwards. Elclund was the more scientific of the pair, but Walker’s little extra weight ‘ and great strength equalled matters. 'Hie decision met with a mixed reception. Elclund and “Farmer” Vance meet' next Monday night for the light-heavy weight championship of the world.
