Blomfield And Spellman Draw Press Association—Copyright. Auckland, May 10. A profesional wrestling contest tonight between Lofty Blomfield, Auckland, and John Spellnrtn, of America, provided one of th’e most sensational and endings seen here. The result was a draw, each man securing a fall. The first gong had just sounded when the men walked briskly to 'the centre of the ring. Blomfield brought up his right arm and connected with the American’s jaw helsvily enough to lift Spellman off his feet and lay him on the mat. Blomfield lost no time in pouncing upon his man to gain a tall with a press. The American thrilled the crowd in the final round' with a series of fast flying tackles which hurled Blomfield to the mat and he hlatl no difficulty in equalising the fall.
