A CHANCE FOR MR. COLLEDGE
Sam Clapham, a sturdy son of old England, who arrived in the Antipodes last year as a wrestler unhonoured and unsung, did so well in Melbourne last winter that he has been guaranteed £3,700 to return to Australia this year for six matches, including two world’s championships. Sam’s broad grin was much in evidence in Auckland a few months ago when he was passing through on his way back to Blighty. At that time, the burly Yorkshireman intimated that he was not averse to meeting Ike Robin, the mammoth Maorilander, if a match could be arranged. So if he comes back via New Zealand, one may expect to find Auckland’s energetic wrestling “head,” Mr. Tennant Colledge, on his track.
