תוכן ראשי

We discuss a 19th Century gambling scheme involving current American Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Martin “חקלאי” Burns and D.A. McMillan. A newspaper reporter exposed the scheme, which ruined professional wrestling in Minnesota for three or four years.

I recently discovered another gambling scheme involving William Demetral. In this scheme, Demetral and others took a Chicago photographer for $4,000.00.

Authorities initially arrested and charged Demetral with fraud. אולם, the prosecutors dropped the case, when the victim quit cooperating.

The victim thought he was part of the group that was going to take the other gamblers. When the victim learned that he may also be a perpatrator of fraud underneath the law, he dropped the case.

אולם, Southern promoters, who were starting wrestling circuits, refused to book Demetral because they did not want the specter of fake matches over their cards.
