N.Z. Wrestler Lacks His Old-Time Dash
Hogg Again Defeated Walter Hogg, 13st, the New Zealand heavy-weight wrestler at present in Australia, appears to have lost a lot of his pep as a matcraft artist. SOME months ago he was matched against Sunni, at 'Wellington, but the “slippery” Indian put it all over
im. Early in February he stepped ito the ring at Palmerston North
with Ern Anderson, with the hopes of securing the championship crown of the Dominion, but again he went under. Thus Walter found that things were not just as easy as they may appear in old Maoriland, so he sailed off back to Australia. Latest reports from across the Tasman state that he was recently beaten by an Estonian. Anton Koolman. list, at the Leichardt Stadium, New South Wales. Koolman secured three falls in six rounds. Undoubtedly Hogg has lost his old dash, for only a few years back he got away with big matches against some of the best.
