|OMAHONY PINNED THEN. KAYOED IN
 HOLYOKE SCRAP
UnscheduIed Wrestler Causes Small Riot in
 Wild Bout

Holyoke, Mass, Jan. 0--(Up)--As result of his flattening Dano O. Mahoney twice in on informal wrestling bout here last night Ivan Robert, youthful French- Canadian, was claiming the worlds wrestling championship, held by the Irishmail.
 Robert pinned O'Mahony with Q legitimate toss and then knocked him cold with c punch in an un- scheduled melee that preciptated 6 small riot.
 Game Prepared
 OMahony was scheduled to meet Frank Judson of New York whom he threw in straight falls in 34 minutes. Before the regular bout started, Robert, the titleholder's most persistent challenger, was inc troduced from the ring; after the ceremony, instead of leaving the roped enclosure, he doffed his ov- ercoat, . sweater and trousers, re. vealing himself clad in wrestling trunks.
 Without warning the Canadian leaped for O'Mahony, but before any damage could be done police interfered.
 Throughout the Judson o'Ma- honey contest, Robert, and his man. ager, Eddie Quin, who occupied front row seats, heckled the cham pion urTnercifully. This made the Irishman furious, and after ending the match, was said to have shout- cd at Robert: "T'll take you some day. The sooner the better" Other ringsiders claim that O'Mahony do. inanded an immediate showdown.
 At any rate, Robert charged in. to the ring and before c wildly ex. cited crowd knew what was trans. piring, had 0'Mahony's shoulders pinned to the mat, holding him helpless for more than 90 seconds.
 Knockout
 Robert scored the second "Fail' after the Irishman kicked himself free rising to his feet O'Mahony floored the Canadian twice with haymakers to the chin. Coming up the second time, Robert retaiiated in kind, knocked O'Mahony through the ropes into ringside seats.
 Tho blow and fall knocked O'Ma. hony unconscious, and after i'm. mediate attempts to revive him were unsuccessful, he was carried to his dressing room.
 The riot threatened when specta. tors tore seats loose and hurled them toward the ring. Though many were thrown, no one was in. jured. 4 strong squad of police quickly controlled the situation.
 Before the main event, Robert, who has been challenging O'Ma- hony for months without success, circulated hundreds of leaflets de. manding "why does Danno refuse to meet Robert7
 After the brawl, Jack Mcdrath, O'Mahony's manager, ridiculed the Canadian claims to the champion. ship and said, "Now know Danno viii never wrestle that Robert. The latter should be barred for oil time for, such tactics"
 Roberts next scheduled bout is with Jim Browning of Missouri in Boston tomorrow night. O'Mahony has no important bout scheduled.
