A RINGSIDE FIGHT. SYDNEY, Saturday. A wrestling contest at Leichhardt Stadium between Tom Lurich and the Indian, Haban Singh, ended in a draw. A highlight was Lurich’s attacks on fthe Chinese wrestler, Wong Buck Cheung, who was a spectator in a Press neat.
Lurich, during the third round, transferred his attention to Cheung and attempted to secure a body-scissors on him, but Cheung punched 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 face of the Chinese. Cheung knocked him down and Lurich crawled through the ropes and retired to his dressing room.
