WRESTLER DISQUALIFIED
TACKS UNDER TRUNKS Chief ChewackT, Red.lndian grappler, was wrestling Pat O'Shocker in Indiana, United States,' recently, and they were level with a fall each, when the former clamped on a leg scissors. O'Shocker writhed as if touched with a hot iron, broke the hold and jumped out of the ring and tried to let the referee in on the secret. The last-named stopped counting and pulled Chewacki's trunks down, only to find that the Indian had placed tacks through cardboard and sandpaper under his trunks. Jt took a policeman to convey Chewaeki in safety to his dressing room, with the crowd yelling for the redskin's scalp. His tactics earned him a disqualification.
