“Skies Darken with Bricks”:
wnen j_iucien ruyc&i;u, iwma European featherweight champion, was finishing off his opponent during an open-air bout in Rumania on September 7, the skies suddenly became dark with bricks, which began to fall on the canvas and on the spectators in the ringside seats,” writes "Sporting Chronicle.’' The boxers fled from the ring, while the spectators turned their seats upside down and covered their heads with them. However, when the boxers left the ring the brick-trowing ceased. It is believed that the target was not the boxers but the referee. British and American referees no longer offer their services as referees in Rumania. The last American to do so had a narrow escape.”
