A HARD SLAM
DEFEAT OF LIMUTKIN
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) STKATFORD, This Day. Thrown heavily backward, P. Limutkin hit his head hard on the mat and was not able to continue his wrestling bout with H. Dejnetral last night. He was loading by a fall at that stage and appeared tho more dangerous of the two. At the end of the fourth round Demetfal was thrown heavily ivith a series of headlocks, but Limutkin did not take him too lightly and cautiously stood off. The same thing happenedat the beginning of tho fifth round, and this time Limutkin relaxed his caution. It was what Demetral, who apparently had been playing 'possum, had been waiting for, and with a sudden jerk he sent his opponent flying backwards. Limutkin was carried to his corner but could not bo brought round before the gong for"the next round.sounded. He is suffering from concussion.
