KENNEDY AGAIN TO
meet 0'CONNELL
PORTLAND GRAPPLFR HAS MUCH
RESPECT FOR HERNIISToNIAN
Worlds MiddIeweight Champion
Wrestler Admits lie Nearly Lost
Recent Bout TO Pride of Umatilla
Project City.

Another O'Conneu-Kennedy wrest-
ling bout will be pulled off at Her
miston in the near future and it will
be to a finish. according to f. b Sway
ze, well known Hermiston banker
who was in the city yesterday. He
declares the sport lovers on the pro-
iect are more enthusiastic than ever
over their exponent of the mat game
and believe he can master the Port
land champion if the latter will agree
to weigh in at 150 pounds.
The Portland Oregonian of yester-
day also announces another match
between the two grapplers and it
would seem from that announcement
that the Multnomah instructor has
developed wholesome respect for,
his Umatilla county antagonist. The
following is the story from the Port
land paper:
Eddie O'Connell. wrestling instruc-
tor at the Multnomah Club, and
Kennedy. the Hermiston welterweight
have been rematched for March ?, at
Hermiston. when the two top-notch-
ers will fight out their battle for
supremacy. The local man went to
the interior NONA d Apl NhA7iN eSN -
tie expecting stiff opposition, but he
ran up against a snag, and freely ad-
mits that it required all his strength
and skill to keep from losing to his
younger and more aggressive appo-
nent.
This youngster holds champion
ships galore" said Eddie yesterday
during his workouts at the winged
"M'' gym. HE was rated as the best
man around Chicago at his weight.
I haven't been in the best of shape
this winter and don't know how train
ing down to weight is going to hit
me-"
From all accounts Kennedy is a
much better man than most persons
figure and O'Connell ranks him far
superior to Peter Buzukos.
