MOEN DISQUALIFIED (By Telegraph—Press Association.) GISBORNE, September 4. With falls even and enjoying a 50-50 chance of winning, Andy Moen (16.6) was not content to rest on the possibility in a wrestling bout with Lofty Blomfield (16.8) last night. He tried to force the issue, disregarding the referee's instructions, and was disqualified. Moen and the referee almost came to blows over an incident involving the dumping of Blomfield over the ropes. A DRAWN BOUT DUNEDIN, September 4.
