AMATEUR WRESTLERS’ DIFFICULTY
UNABLE TO LOOSEN HOLD truss Asiocxinox nuunux.) WELLINGTON. June 13. A policeman at Lower Hutt Was urgently summoned last night to unravel a human knot Two residents, both keen followers of wrestling, experimented with Blomfield’s much-dis-cussed octopus clamp. Guided by diagrams and instructions, one man tried to put the hold on the other. He succeeded, then found that he was unable to loosen it. For fully 10 minutes he manoeuvred gingerly, to his own discomfort and the intense pain of the man on whom the hold was applied, but without avail. A member of the family was dispatched for a policeman, who soon had the clamp unloosened without damage to either party.
