POLICE STOP WRESTLERS

VIMFUL GREEK AGAIN. A week previously, Inspector Jim Mortimer stopped the vimful Greek, Harry Mamos, and Dean Detton, after they had indulged in ultra-vigorous methods over four rounds. Though they mended their ways, to a great extent, a week later, they again fell foul ot authority, a halt being called in the fifth. There was not quite so much tossing out of the ring, but both put plenty of pep into their work inside the square. Detton appeared certain to gain first fall in the fifth, when he had Harry in a Boston crab, jnit the Athenian, to the surprise of everyone, freed himself. Mamos was quite up to his best form m spqechmaking, but the yells of the crowd made him very indistinct. They were mingling football with wrestling in the fifth, when the stoppage occurred. Tom Banner raised an arm aloft —a draw.

King Elliot and Alec Lundyn drew at Leichhardt on the same night, Elliot gaining a submission fall with a body press, and his opponent equalising with a head scissors and hammer-lock, to which King submitted.
