Bobby Evans of Garland played good ball, but he was in tho loosing nine. Tho Kangaroo court nailed a number of Garland's sports and fined thorn for all kinds of misbehavior. mis-behavior. From the merry-go-round to the ball park something some-thing was doing all tho timo. Malad's band furnished good music, the popular selection "How Dry I Am," being tho most appropriate. Tho big Avrostleing match between be-tween Yokel and Jones at tho opera houso Saturday night, for a purse of $1,700, wound up tho Carnival. The -wrestle lasted last-ed 1 hour and twenty minutes and was decided a draw by Referee Davis, Jones claiming to have boon injured. Tho following fol-lowing taken from tho Horald-Republican Horald-Republican is one view of tho affair while many Malad peoplo are of tho opinion that Jonos was injured. However, wo would bo pleased to see tho wrestle come off again and contested con-tested to a finish. "Since the oxclusivo story in tho Herald-Republican Sunday, tolling of the Yokel match at Malad, Idaho, with tho "ringer" "ring-er" Jones, Saturday night, the match was a cause of much talk in wrestling circles. The Jones part of it is still a mystery, but that it was a well laid plot to get Yokel out of the way, aB well as win a bfmcli of money, is vory clear. Yokel has been a thorn in the sido of tho old Maybray gang oporatots for about live years. Every timo they havo proposod a match in tho inter-mountain country, claiming they havo a world-beater, thoy are met with the question, "Why not tako on Yokal?" aud there they stopped." |
