The latter Amomentaiuty’ - 'V suspended in the air before slipping, head first, between, the ring and the concert platform. He was pulled out and was preparing to re-enter the v ring when Pasha leaned over the ropes, clamped on a headlock, and hurled! Marshall heavily to the canvas in the centre of the ring, pouncing on him to> secure a fall. -This provoked a hostile, demonstration from the audience, and Marshall danced round the ring, _ protesting against the decision. The referee, Mr M. Coughlan, who was interested in seeing Marshall extracted from 1 his position, evidently did not see Pasha secure the hold.
