Influx of Wrestlers

Influx of Wrestlers.

Coming events cast their shadows before, and there seems good reason to suspect that the influx of high-rating American wrestlers to New Zealand this season is in no small part due to the suggested visit of Jim Londos, world champion. However, New Zealanders are confident that their own champion, Lofty Blomfield, and the British Empire champion, Earl McCready, will be found tough enough to withstand the challenges from Kirchmeyer, Cox, Martinez, Donovan and Jones, and win the right to battle out an elimination contest, the winner to meet Londos for the title. Hard matches will be fought before this great contest, but New Zealanders look to Blomfield to hold the fort.
