"King Kong" Loses To Forsgren WELLINGTON, Last Night. A lawless hurlyburly with more brute force than scientiflc wrestling ended in Jack Forsgren beating "King Kong" Cox by a penalty fall to-nigbt. Cox lived up to his rcputation for jungie tactics. He bit, rabbit-punched and. elbow-jolted through eight rounds, a penalty fall being given against him in the flfth when he persistently disregarded the referee's objection to his doubling his opponent over the ropes and tugging his hair, using the top strand as a fulerum to incrcase his leverage. The winner, Forsgren, was assisted from the ring by his seconds with his face battered and bleeding, whiie Cox stood blowing mocking kisses after his retreating adversary.
