CHARGES FLY At
WRESTLING PROBE
Mat Game May Be Ended in
Illinois After Investigation

Chicago, June Professional
wrestling was down on the mat to-
day under a cloud of charges that
may end its career in this state.
Shouting assertions of crooked
ness, fakes and "ilops," witnesses
before the state legislative investi-
eating committee in a five hour ses-
sion yesterday were answered both
from the stand and the floor in de-
mails equally as loud. while promo
tiers, managers and wrestlers called
each other hard names.
No evidence was adduced, how
ever, to show that any fake matches
had been staged since the Illinois
athletic commission took charge OF
wrestling last November.
A threat to introduce a repeal of
the law legalizing the mat game was
the legislative committees contribu-
ton to the uproarious session.
Another and quicker result was
the cancellation of the heavyweight
wrestling championship match be-
tween Ed Stranger Lewis and Joe
Malcewicz. at the Cubs park here
next Friday night. Jim Mullen. the
promoter. said he would have moth
ing further TO do with wrestling
until the charges could be disproved.
IF that can be done"
Plenty of testimony was heard
describing the wrestling trust "
Billy Sandow. manager of Lewis and
named as one of the trust" denied
he was interested in any wrestler
than Lewis.
Both Lewis and Malcewicz chal-
lenged Bill Demetral, the days star
witness, to a match to refute the tes-
timony Of that mat veteran that
Lewis hackers forced a $4,000 for
felt to insure Lewis victory over
Demetral in two Cleveland matches
three years ago.
The state committee announced
the next session of the investigation
