BLOMFIELD BEATS FRALEY (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, September 11. A further meeting of the two professional wrestlers Lofty Blomfield and Pat Fraley took place at the Town Hall on Saturday night and resulted in a win for Blomfield by two falls to one. The first fall occurred in the fifth round when Blomfield replied vigorously to forearm jolts.. He followed up this attack by lifting Fraley bodily for a slam and body-press. After being warned for alleged rabbit punching in the sixth round, Fraley tripped his opponent with a flying toehold. Converting this to a double toehold, Fraley quickly won a submission. Fraley started another jolting attack in the eighth round, driving Blomfield into a corner. The latter was replying when the referee went to part the contestants. Blomfield knocked Fraley against the referee and when his opponent fell to the mat Blomfield pounced upon him and pressed his shoulders down to obtain the deciding fall.
