Easy to Fake Wrestling

Professional wrestling has received. in the past. more unepviable notoriety than any other sport due to the un- ethical methods of both promoters and performers and the fact that wrestling lends itself easily to faking.
 With the passing of the law in Cali fornia forbiddlng the holding of cham pfonship boxing matches such as were previously allowed, the public Of san Francisco turned to wrestling as a substitute in the hope 1t would take the place of boxing. That 1t has failed in this is apparent and the indications are that another black eye has been registered.
 Recent boxing matches in which To- callv prominent wrestlers have taken part are criticized by local sport writ CTS. At the last event the men wres- tied for nearly three hours without a fall. For the first half hour the men
 were accorded the respectful attention of the spectators. Then the gallery an- nounced it's sentiments respecting that [ particular bout. At the end of an hour 1 the spectators occupying ringside ! seats had joined in the chorus. After i two hours all began leaving the I building
 Not a newspaper in the city had a good word to say for the match and ! the suggestion was made to one of the
 principals that he seek his future
 matches at other places.
