DULL WRESTLING.

DISAPPOINTING HAMILTON BOUT. CRO\VD VOICES Dis.\i‘i’llU\'i\L. \VOODS UNABLE TO CON'i’iNL’E. Poor shawmanship, which onl) occasionally entertained, assrm‘atud by an even poorer exhibition of wrestling characterised the meeting of Jack Forsgren and Joe Kopacii Woods in one or the, most disappointing bouts yet staged in the history of professional wrestling in the Theatre Royai, Humilton, last evening. \Vilhal the mat-ch proved a iiasco and in fairness to the \\'ailsato \\’rcst—ling Association it would be wait to take into consideration the tart that the matching of Forsgren and \\’oods was arranged by the ronlroiling body In VVcilinglon, tho New Zuniuntl \\'rcst—ling Association. The end came early in the fifth round when. ul‘lrr he had sent Furssren to the canvas with it series- ol’ drop-kicks \\'lllL‘ll he followed up \\'illi .1 flying tackle, \\'oods lini‘llod through ‘lllO ropes and was unablu to ronlinutu IAS he did not nmwnr to full limnily l there was some excuse for the dcmoih tstrulion that followed.

\\'oods brought Foi'sgrcn down early but the pair were in) again in quivl: time, the latter punishing his ammu—out in a short, arm scissors and bringing him in turn to the canvas, and in—creasing his advantage with '4 type ut‘ arm stretch. \V‘oods escaped by kicking Fol‘sg‘l‘en in the face, and lalet' flooring Fox-55mm with a wristluck which he later comet‘led to a hammerlock. A little pantomime by Forsgx'cn kept. the crowd amust‘d. I-‘m'sgl'cn continued his untics and us a member of the audience threw a paper bag intu the ring. Forsgren uppcnled to the anonymous donor to come in and

“have it out." They indulged in a little serious matwork for the balance of the round. With the opening of the third round Woods sent Forsgren flying to the canvas in apparent "agony“ \\'ith a series oi! drop kicks, but; Forssren " recovered " suddenly to bump his opponent: 011’ and reverse matters. A ‘ penny made its appearance in the ring at this stage. For-gren’s Superior Strength. Forsgrcn was caught in a Boston era]; but his superior strength permit—ted him to sil‘ictoh his 103's out and Riel; his opponent ol't'. \\'umis held Forsgren in :l standing: spills. but, mun-t from the appiimllion ni' these [\\'o holds iizerc was little genuine inutwurk indulged in.
