WRESTLING
FORSGREN DEFEATS RICHARDS TWO SURPRISE FALLS (Per United Press Association) HASTINGS, May 28. In one of the shortest wrestling bouts witnessed in Hastings for a number of years, Jack Forsgren (Canada) defeated Ray Richards (United States) by two straight falls in a bout here tonight. The bout was productive of some lively wrestling, with Richards shading his opponent all the way, but, when pressing harder, he- was tricked by Forsgren, who secured surprise falls. The first came in the fourth round, when Forsgren used the ropes and threw Richards off his balance while the latter was about to dump Forsgren, who fell on top for a body press. In the next round Richards tossed the Canadian with flying mares and flying -tackles, and dumped him repeatedly, but Forsgren weathered it all. Finally he trapped Richards in a Boston crab for a submission fall.
