WATER POLO MATCH
CIVILIAN'S BIG IMPROVEMENT
The Y.M.C.A. polo team were worthy of their re- venge which they took at the expense of the Combined Navy side yesterday, winning by three goals to one after a game of sustained interest and excitement. The Navy again turned out their strongest team, but the Young Men
were forced to make inst minute All-In
alterations,
neither Jenner nor
Henry being able to take the water. E. W. Railton and Sloker
were
introduced and played prominent parts in the success of the civilians.
With the Y. M. defending the deep end in the first half, the Navy enjoyed the greater share of the to some thanks exchanges, but brilliant goal-keeping by II. Angus, and the good spoiling work of Korr nautlenis' score and Stoker, the was kept down to a single goal at the interval.
It proved insufllcient, the Y. M. control of the taking complete game after the change over, and through Campbell and Schreader (2) won a great game.
SOUND DEFFENCE.
Sutton was outstanding for the Navy, whereas all the "y" team played well. Among who showed un prominently were Angus in goal, Kerr and Stoker, Railton and Schreuder. Kerr and Stoker dis- played pleasing understanding in defence but left the impression they would to better to pass forward more frequently. Raton tower of strength both in defence and attack, and that he is fast re- gaining his old form is very evident.

Campbell and Schreuder were hard working forwards and more than held their own against a powerful Navy defence.
The teams were: Y.M.C.A.-H. Angus; W. Kerr and W. Stoker; E. Railton; W. Campbell, A. Donn and W. Schreuder
Combined Navy.-C. Mitchell; C. Older and G. Groves; W. Hutton; C. Lee, J. Laker, and J. McCrea.
This made the fifth meeting of the teams, with the Y.M.C.A. hold- ing the balance of victories by games three to two, one of the being played at Talpo.

Wrestling Condemned
CORONER'S STRONG COMMENTS
All-in wrestling is one of the intest society crazes. It is a recent m portation from America. Exhibitions of this so-called aport have allracted large Eritial crowds both in London and the Provinces.
Now it has come under the ban of British fury. At an inquest at on "Strangler Johnson," Sheffield who died after being beaten in an all-in wrestling contest, the Jury declared that the business was not a clean English sport and that it ought to be prohibited.
The Coroner thought that all-in an unlawful sport wrestling was and that when a combatant died ns a result of such a contest his op- A charge of ponent was liable to manslaughter.
POLICE OPINION.
A Police-Inspector said that "all- in" wrestling contests were of such a nature that no genuine sportsmen would tolerate thom or go to see them.
The men behaved more like animals than human beings. He added that in the case of contestants of ox. perience it was a pure hoax on the public, as the result was known before the men went into the ring.
A police officer who saw the contest said that Johnson bit his opponent's hair, and pulled it out with his teeth. He also spat in his eyes while he wan on the floor and got hold of both his cars and twisted them,
Earl Romsky," the opponent in question, said he had had about wolve bouts with Johnson, and was on perfectly friendly terms with him. BESTIAL ENTERTAINMENT.

They yelled and clapped at the most revolting and bestial entertainment that could have ever happened. Nose twisting and kicks in the belly particularly appealed to the sadistic
audience.
All-in wrestling means that tho contestants can do almost anything hit each other in the face with ched fists or gouge each others' eyes out. The fighters go on until they drop and are counted out.
Gorilin-like men, nearly naked and of superb physique, bit, scratched, hit, kicked and gouged while a sensation. mad audience urged thom' on.
