MELBOURNE, May 15. Billy Edwards defeated Mike Yoke l by two falls to one. Butting, gouging and kicking were features of the match. A “ROUGH-HOUSE.” Judging by the sounds that floated through the ether to wireless receiving sets at Greymouth, the spectators at Melbourne must have been as rough as the wrestlers are stated . to have been. The trouble started when about two thousand persons, unable to gain admittance, attacked the doors with axes and other weapons. After Edwards secured the first fall, bottles and other missiles were brought into action by some of the “fans,” who adopted direct action methods of showing their disapproval. Then was hoard a resounding crash, but the announcer calmly explained that it was only a spectator who had fallen from the rafters- They do things in style at Melbpurne.
