WRESTLING
BLOMFIELD BEATS MEHAN LAST BOUT OF SEASON (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The curtain was rung down on the 1938 professional wrestling season at the Wellington Town Hall last night when Lofty Blomfield, New Zealand champion, beat Pat Meehan by two falls to one in a bout marked by much clever wrestling. Blomfield gained the first fall in the fifth round with an arm-strangle, but Meehan evened in the seventh-round with a figure-four scissors and chinlock. In the last round Meehan again applied a body-scissors, but Blomfield climbed the ropes, and, throwing himself backward, so badly injured Meehan, that he was unable to continue the contest, which went to Blomfield by two falls to one.
