The Japanese State wrestling championship was left in doubt, last night, when the two best men in the city went to a draw in the final bout of the tournament which has lasted three days, at the Naud Junction boxing pavilion.
    The elimination matches, narrowed down to Nojimasaki of Los Angeles and Hayafune of San Francisco, and when these athletes had struggled for several minutes without gaining a fall, the referee declared the bout a draw and decided that the supremacy would have to be settled at some other meeting.
    The action of the referee was the result of some dissatisfaction at his decision early in the bout. Nojimasaki pulled his opponent forward suddenly, the latter's knee scraping in the sawdust. The referee did not see it, however, and a moment later Hayafune sent his rival sprawling by a swift backward push. The referee gave the decision in favor of Hayafune but upon vigorous protest from the friends of the other man decided that it was a no contest and made the men toe the mark again. Apparently, after a conference, it had been fixed up to call a draw and the referee so decided after the men had struggled for several minutes.
    In the middleweight division Yamahibiki of Sacramento defeated Hanachidashi for the honors. In the lightweight division Kodakura won from Miyokoishi after a fiercely contested bout.
