ST. LOUIS, Jan. 26.-Abe Slupsky figured In an
exciting knock-down.and.drag-out fight in the
Southern Hotel buffet late last night. Abe
prides himself on his loyalty to his friends. He
was with Promoter Eugene Sweeney. when that
individual picked q quarrel with Thomas Muir
ray. head bartender. Col. Slupsky grew weary
Of the war Of words and sought to bring matters
TO a climax. Murray hit Sweeney once. and tho
promoter shot through a swinging door to the
thing at the feet Of the proprietor, w. Russell
Allen. Then Col. Slupsky violently espoused
Sweeney's cause. Murray knocked him down,
but Slupsky arose and clinched.
Adolph Busch, Jr., and Police Captain Pickel
found II impossible to separate the combatants
until Slupsky's teeth had left a series OF deep
marks on Murray's right wrist. Then Capt.
Pickel led the great school reformer away. and
Murray repaired to a neighboring drug store to
have his wounded wrist dressed.
Afterward Siupsky and Sweeney met at tho
st. James Hotel bar and told each other how 1t
happened. No arrests were made, but Murray,
who resigned Immediately after the fight, has
been reinstated.
