WRESTLING.
DEMETRAL TRAPS LIMUTKIN. (By Telegraph—Per Press Association ) STRATFORD, July 3. Thrown heavily backward, P. Limutkin (who had his forehead gashed at Christchurch), hit his head hard on the mat, and wag not able to continue the wrestling bout with H. Demetral, last night. He was leading by a fall, and at that stage appeared the more dangerous of the two. At the end of the fourth round, Demetral was thrown heavily with a series of head looks, but Limutkin did not take him too lightly, and cautiously stood off. The same thing happened at the beginning of the fifth, and this time Limutkin relaxed his caution. If was what Demertnl, who had been playing possum, had been waiting for, and with a sudden jerk, he sent his opponent flying backwards, and hitting his head on the mat. Limutkin was carried to a corner, but could not be brought round before the gong for the next round sounded. He is suffering from concussion.
