Nellie Cooke Shows Her Fighting Spirit

To the Editor. Sir,-"Walker Fan" is patting himself on the back, no doubt for the fall he thought he secured last round in assuming that I wished to withdraw from the fray because "I had said too much." I always mean what I say, and believe me, all you men concerned in this bout, I am as good a judge of announcers as I am of these Knights of the Crushed Noses and Cauliflower Hars, Am I a Patterson fan? I like Jack Patterson as. much as I like any other wrestler in New Zealand, with two exceptions. I am always very interested in Mamos’s bouts-and as for your Greek God, "Walker Fan," well, I wish I was a man. I’d give him a better bout, at any rate, than the majority of these shirtless gentlemeri who ‘style themselyes

wrestlers, Thanks’ to the person who shares my opinion regarding 3YA-New Zealand’s best sports announcer. Yes, you discreetly anonymous -people, I am so sure of my views, I sign my name and don’t write under a nom-de-plume. Surely the wrestlers concerned would be pleased to know the names of their zealous defenders? If this correspondence doesn’t satisfy any of the gentlemen concerned, perhaps J’ll be thinking that they’re wanting a fistic, not a verbal, com-

bat-I am, ete.,
