Sport: Brawl

A huge-muscled Irishman who holds the world’s wrestling championship, Danno O’Mahoney is not averse to defending his title against all fly-by-nights who wish to grapple. Last week at Holyoke, Mass, the champion stepped into the ring for a bout with an obscure challenger named Judson. Before the fun started, a wild-eyed French-Canadian, named Yvon Robert, who had persistently but unsuccessfully sought a match with O’Mahoney, was called into the ring, introduced to the customers. Suddenly Yvon Robert stripped off overcoat, sweater, trousers, tried to pin O’Mahoney then & there. Dragged away, Wrestler Robert sat at the ringside, heckled the champion who was downing Judson with ease. O’Mahoney, stung by the verbal pricks of this upstart, demanded an immediate settlement. Spang into the ring flounced Challenger Robert, collared O’Mahoney, held his shoulders to the mat for 30 seconds. The Irishman kicked himself free, floored the Canadian with two blows. Up Robert rose, bashed O’Mahoney through the ropes. While pawky Wrestler Robert loudly claimed the championship, O’Mahoney was lugged unconscious to his dressing room, still the champion.
