ROILEK FREAKS RIBS.
Match Awarded to DIN When Doctor
Meets With Accident.

The wrestling match in Springfield,
Mass, last evening was cut short by an
accident to one of the principals which
caused the match to be forfeited to the
more fortunate opponent. For over an
hour Doe Roller and John DIN
battled for the first fall. Some of the
best wrestling ever seen in that city
was shown by each Of the men in the
work for the first fall Olin was sue
cessful in breaking many of Roller s
holds and showed himself to be a fine
match for his opponent. Up to the time
when the two men left the mat there
was very little 10 choose between the
work Of the two. Time after time what
looked like a sure fall was averted by
the swift break of the wrestler on the
bottom. The audience seemed satisfied
with the performance and would have
been even more so had the match been
called a draw.
After about one hour and five min
utes each secured fast hold on the
other. In attempting to break the
hold Roller lost his balance and fell
heavily on his back. Olin also lost

PROSTATE for a minute or so and then
gamely got up and went TO it again.
1t was plain TO be seen that Roller
had been badly injured and Olin easily

utes and 80 seconds with BODY scis-
sors and double arm lock hold At
the end Of the fall tho two men went
10 their dressing rooms and it was
found at this time by Fred Weber, the
Springfield college man, that Roller
had probably broken two or three ribs
The extent Of the injury was not
known. A doctor was then called in
and he examined the wound and told
Roller that il would be worse than
folly 10 try to wrcstle again last night
Roller gamely insisted that he was nc
