Pandemonium at Wild-man Wrestling Bout at Sydney
CONTESTANTS FIGHT MADLY REFEREE KICKED UNCONSCIOUS United Press Association.—By Electrifl Telegraph.—Copyright, SYDNEY, Aug. 5. There were unprecedented scenes at the Stadium last evening during a wrestling contest between Ted Thyc and Billy Edwards. The wrestlers fought madly after the referee, Tom Thye, had been kicked unconscious. Finally recovering somewhat he crawled alongside, the men on the mat and crowned Thyc the winner. He then left the ring. Actually it was Thyc’s foot that caused the trouble. Pandemonium reigned and Thye also left the ring. Edwards, who was in tears, appealed to tho crowd. Scenes of tho wildest disorder followed until, after ten minutes, Thyc returned and tho match continued, with another wrestler, Tom Lurich, as referee. The contest eventually ended in a draw, on a fall to each. When either man offended, Lurich applied vicious holds or smacks.
