In the Matter of the Claim of Newton H. Sewell, Respondent, against Henry Johnson Auto Body Shop et al., Appellants. Workmen’s Compensation Board, Respondent.
   Appeal by an employer and his insurance carrier from a decision and an award of disability compensation made to claimant by the Workmen’s Compensation Board. While in the course of his employment claimant was injured by having slipped and fallen on a slippery floor while engaged in a playful “tussel” with a fellow employee. The evidence sustains the board’s finding that the affair (which includes its precipitating antecedents) which gave rise to the injury was incidental to and arose out of and in the course of his employment. Decision and award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the Workmen’s Compensation Board. Present — Hill, P. J., Heffernan, Brewster, Foster and Deyo, JJ.
