SCENE AT WRESTLING
LURICH ATTACKS SPECTATOR BOUT WITH SINGH DRAWN (Received May 24, 5.5 p.m.) SYDNEY. May 24 A wrestling contest at Leichhardt Stadium last evening between Lurich and the Indian Haban Singh ended in a draw. The most striking incident was Lurich's attack on the Chinese wrestler Wong Bock Cheung, who was a spectator at the press table. Lurich, in the third round, transferred his attention to Cheung and attempted to secure a body scissors. Cheung throw him off and at the end of Lurich's bout with Haban Singh the Chinese jumped into the ring and challenged Lurich, who thrust his hands into the Chinese wrestler's face. Cheung knocked him down, whereupon Lurich crawled through the ropes and retired to his dressing room.
