IISK SUFFERS
INJURY DURING
FAST BATTLE
Bobby's Shouider Dislocated
cn Edge of Ring; Large
Crowd
Bobby Chick sustained n dlslocal-1
ed elbow last night after 24 min-!
utes of one of 1 he most exrltinp |
wrestling mutches ever seen in Hor-
ner, between him and Kopecky |
Young Sampson won a 30-miJUUe j
ilasco over Pat Reagan with a body-1
slam in 21 minutes.
Although fans witnessed one of
the hardest wrestling duels In his-
tory of local wrestling a week ago,
a packed house witnessed an even
harder contest last night. Both
men had been subjected to a ser-
ies of the hardest holds possible
and were weakening under the ter-
rific strain. Securing a reverse
hendlocli. Hobby started to slain
Kopeck v. bin was encircled with :i
leg scissors about the waist.
Being near the ropes, Kopecky
grasped them and both men fell
overboard and into the laps of fans
at the ringside. In the fall. Hob-
by's arm struck the edge of the
board platform knocking.it out of
place at the elbow, lie was unable
to return, thus forfeiting the match.
16-Year-Old Boy
Invited to Visit Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson
AUSTIN'. Texas (AIM The for-
tunes of politlsc may result in a trip
to Washington for Sumner Kamsey.
I (("-year-old son of S. W. Ramsey, I
state board of control secretary, to
visit Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, widow |
of the war president.
Young Ramsey was Mrs. Wilson's |
page at the Democratic national con-'
vent ion at Houston. She invited
him, after the convention was over,
to come to see her. He says he in-
tends to go later in the summer.
He got tile job as page by going
to Houston anrt taking a chance of1
getting in the convention hall by
waiting for something to do. He
haunted the trail of Governor Moody
for whom he worked as special nies- ■
senger during the special session of j
the 4Uth legislature. Finally the red i
haired youngster was asked to take
a message from the governor to !
Josephns Daniels. He did. Then i
several hours later at 2 a. m. Tues-
day of the convention, Ramsey was
notified that lie had been appointed
as page for Mrs. Wilson.
ORl'bTN VKSTKItn.XV
Kopecky had been pulled back
Into the ring by Referee Hob Roy
before fans noticed that Bobby was
writhing in pain at tit,, edge of the
platform. Dr. !,. F. Dodd was sum-
moned and chick was taken to the
Malone hospital where an X-ray
examination revealed the disloca-
tion. however, no bones were
broken. He will be unable to re-
turn to the mat for three weeks.
Reag'an apparently was much
faster than Sampson but lost prac-
tically every hold because of the
herculean strength of the voting
fia.nt, who lta«J Utile difficulty in
wrenching himself free. The men
worked hard for U1 minutes before
Reagan was subjected to a body
slam which rendered him brent h-
b'M; lo,'; enough for Sampson to
(ipplj the winning hold.
