Lurich later fell for four from the referee, who planted a. straight left to his jaw. The crowd rocked with laughter. The contest was awarded to Lurich by one fall to nil. Meeske was then introduced as Lurich's next opponent. The latter rbfused the customary hand-shake, whereupon Meeske punched hini on the nose, which was the elimax of a wild night.
