WRESTLER DISQUALIFIED
TACKS UNDER TRUNKS Chief Chewacki, Red Indian 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 lastnamed stopped counting and pulled Chewacki’s trunks down, only to find that the Indian had placed tacks
through cardboard and sandpaper under his trunks. It took a policeman to convey Chewacki in safety to his dressing room, with the crowd yelling for the redskin’s scalp. His tactics earned him a disqualification.
