Poulos wrestled Joe Dumpsey, - a Jewish wrestler from Indianapolis, and induced a crowd of Terre Haute Greeks led by Frank Georgopolis to bet $2,600 on him, recently. Poulos went down in two fake falls before Dempsey. During the second fall Poulos had a “hemorrhage,” red ink gushing from a small bladder Which he had placed in his mouth.
