BOUND STRAINS
 WRIST IN FALL
Big Champion Goes Down on Long Mountain Run Under Weight of Iron = Fight Postponed - Training

An accident yesterday, resulting in a sprained wrist for Ben Bound, will cause another postponement in the date of the proposed meeting be- tween the heavyweight champion of the southwest and Mexico and the Finnish Lion
 Bounds accident came in the course of training. the big fighter stumbling behind the rig he was following on road work out and falling over boulder. His right hand doubled un- der him and the wI.st was sprained
 4 fifty pound sack of horseshoes which the fighter had lashed to his back and the fastenings of which had come loose, was TCsp0fsible for his injury, for it made the fall an awk- ward one. Otherwise he would have been able to protect himself as he went down.
 Bounds regular trainer was of duty yesterday and he went out with Leo Cannon for a sprint Cannon drove horse and buggy and behind the latter BouHted trotted, hooked up 5n pulling harness. They started at Don Luis, came up through Lowell to Brewery Gulch and out through the Guich to the cemetery road and thence back to the Bound training quarters. It was a long, hard grind a gccd deal of 1t on stiff grades. Bound stood it fine under his load Of iron until after his fall. when he sui fered an attack Of cramps, put came around shortly and was able to jos home. When be got there he had a further attack Of cramps while in hot bath and it took a couple oi men to get him out. IL was not until then that the sprsined wrist was discoy- cred, swelling having set iH
 Bound issued a statement laAt aiaht after doctors had looked him over, in which he said inst he was in prime condition; that the wrist woU be good as new, or better ln ten days and that meantime he would continue training for form. As soon as the wr-st IS rea=y he will be ln the spot light to take on the Finnish Lion as per previous arrangements.
 Round is said to be in fine physi- cal condition, although possibly a trifle overworked at the immediate time. All who have been in contact with his training, and these are many. agree that In the matter or punishment there is nothing on earth that can reach Bound. They do net believe that a steam road roIeT would hurt hiH a bit in passing ever, and some are inclined to give il a test, with betting in such event 10 to l at this time m favor of Bound. They say it would be einch for him 10 deran the Copper Queen ore train the heaviest operated anywhere in the world on a daily schedule, aad only the refusal of the company to permit the attempt and the provisions of law against anything of the soTt prevents them CT Bound from giving it a workout. Inere never befc;e was any such bear for work as is the big Champion of the Soutnwest.
 The Finnish Lion, however. is not so slow in this line, either. He has been getting bard pounding in his preparation for the event and IS as hard as structural steel Also his friends insist that he is as strong. Tho Lions long suit, in fact is strength. he being a wrestler rather than fighter. Bound is working both ends and the middle to meet him at all
 points. and the Films friends say he
 is traveling the same route. When the postponemeuts, rom one cause and another, finally terminate and the giants get together, t promises 10 te the biggest movement ot larEe ! bcdles, skill and main strength that has ever been paraded in a roped arena in the Southwest.
