Eye-Hold Was Not
Considered Fair, Bout
SALT LAKE CITY. Oct. 28, — j
Newman won from Steve Zenoski
at last night’s feature wrestling
match, on a foul, to take the third
and deciding fall. The vicious tac
tics of Zenoski lost him the match.
Following stopping of the match,
the crowd hurled everything they
could lay hands to at Zenoski who
was slightly injured by flying mis
sies.
Almost anything goes in mod-!
em wrestling rules but, it- was said,
there are certain dirty tactics
which are not permitted in any
man’s land. Zenoski went beyond
the usual vicious assaults now used
and by doing so lost on a foul. His j
last move in the ring was to try;
and gouge Newman's eyes out.
Vic Murphy, handsome forestry!
lad, was among those leaving this j
fair city today en route to the big!
dance at Hope; tonight.

ALMOST FULL
1 BAG TROPHIES
* 'Full of enthusiasm and proud of
the fact he has obtained almost a

to take back home to Detroit, Rev.
J. A. R. Wllemski hoped to spend
the next few days in the Moose
Pass or Kenai lake district and
procure a few specimens of rabbits,
bird-life,and a coyote.
Leaving Michigan in August,
Reverend Wilemski’s Alaskan ad
ventures got away to a rather
auspicious start when the SS
Aleutian, on which he was a pas
senger, ran aground in South
eastern Alaska. Arriving at An
chorage he flew beyond the Rainy
Pass region for a few weeks suc
cessful hunt; thence back to the
Anchorage district for a sheep
hunt; afterwards to Kodiak for
big bear and thence to the Cooper
Landing country for a moose, and
he shot a magnificent specimen.
He departs for Detroit next
week, boarding the SS Northwest
ern here, thoroughly satisfied with
his Alaska big -game hunt; but
more or less sad in not being able
to remain another month or two.
