night to see the wrestling between Joe
Turner the middlewight champion. and
Pink Gardner. the champion OF the

this vicinity was broken, as IT took
Turner two hours and forty-five min
Mtes to pin Gardeners shoulders to
the mat, The verdict in the second
meeting was gained by Turner'S ia
nous double leg and sitting arch hold "

ORIGINAL AUTO POLO TEAMS TO
PLAY TWIN FALLS OCT. S, 8, 10

The people of Twin Falls are to
have the opportunity of witnessing the
most thrilling, exciting and spectacu-
lar sport ever staged before public
vision. The same identical worlds ia
nous auto polo teams who have been
playing Americas foremost state fairs
and expositions, including Montana
and Utah, will actually appear here
in contest for supremacy for the
worlds championship.
Auto polo, as seen here, will be
more thrilling and interesting, if pos
sible, than the game seen at the big
state fairs, in view of the fact that the
contest played here will be a complete
game consisting of five periods of ten
minutes each playing time with inter
missions, while the game seen at state
fairs is an exhibition Of from fifteen
to twenty minutes duration.
The worlds championship auto polo
series is about to draw to close
Each team is exerting it's utmost abil'
ity and energy in the endeavor TO de-
feat the opposing team. The game
here will be more exciting than the
ones played by these same identica
teams in Japan last winter before the
imperial household of Japan. The

The motion pictures, taken by Mr..
Parker and the man who accompanied
him, are being distributed throughout
the country by Dodge Brothers. Mr..
Lind, realizing the possibilities they
offered as a means of entertainment,
was among the first to apply for the
privilege of showing them. Since then
the demands from other dealers have
been enormous, but the pictures made
such a big impression in the larger
cities, where they were first released,
that dealers there are still giving
nightly performances.

and in attempting to keep his secret
from his uncle, the Captain lies him
