Chicago, Illinois:  Friday, December 3, 1920
(Haymarket Theater) ... William Demetral and Jack Linow wrestled to a draw ... (referee:  
Johnny Meyers)
Notes:  Date dispute.  May have been December 4.  The referee stopped the match at
midnight and declared a draw.  Demetral had the only fall and Linow was in charge when
the match was called.  Fans protested, inciting a riot that was only quelled by police.  
Parts of the theater were torn up, including the scenery and footlights.  Fans were
angered because the match had been advertised as a finish bout.  Reportedly, members
of a burlesque troupe performing at the theater barricaded themselves in their dressing
rooms to hide from the mob.
