ROUGH WRESTLING
RELIEVED BY COMEDY
KATAN BEATS LITTLE WOLF. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. This Day. Comedy relieved hard, rough wrestling in the professional bout between John Katan and Chief Little Wolf in tiie Wellington Town Hall last night. Katan won on points, with the falls even; Katan scored in the fourth round with the Japanese toehold which is his specialty. Little Wolf in the sixth with an Indian deathlock. Throughout the bout Little Wolf's lively showmanship entertained the crowd, at times making the match a burlesque rather than a serious one. WIN FOR BLOMFIELD. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. Tonight in a wrestling bout Sergeant Blomfield beat Dick Raines by one fall and a penalty fall to one fall.
