WRESTLERS FIGHT
EXCITEMENT AT STADIUM. SYDNEY, June 16. There was a wild scene at the St. George Stadium last night when two wrestlers were involved in a fight outside the ring. Joe Keatos, who was wrestling against Alf Motski, was thrown through the ropes in the second round, and came into contact with another wrestler, who had been watching the contest. The two were soon engaged in a stand-up fight, while the crowd roared with excitement. Keatos had two teeth knocked out, and his nose was bleeding when the police ordered him to resume the contest with Motski threatening to cancel the bout if he did not return to the ring. Keatos and Motski continued their match, Keatos winning by one fall after six rounds. The referee ivas frequently mixed up with the wrestlers, and early in the contest had his shirt torn from his back.
