WRESTLING
WIN FOR McCREADY. UNIMPRESSIVE BOUT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. This Day. An unimpressive wrestling bout at the Wellington Town Hall last night ended in a win for Earl McCready against the South African Frank Forster. McCready’s wrestling throughout the bout was colourless; he appeared in poor condition and his left elbow, injured a fortnight ago in a bout with Ted Cox. was still of little use to him. Forster had the better of every- round except the seventh, when McCready dumped and pinned him for the only fall of the evening. The bout was the poorest seen in the Town Hall this season.
Forster weighed 16.8. McCready 17.2. The latter entered the ring with an elastic bandage over his left elbow.
