R|TTENHOUSE
DEFEATS PENA

A small crowd saw one of the best
wrestling matches ever staged in Ray
last Saturday night, when Pena, WILL
age champion was defeated by Billie
Rittenhouse of Superior two falls out
three.
Pena won the first fall in seventeen
minutes with crotch and ankle hold.
The men came on for the second fall
in good shape and the crowd yelled
as Pena started with a body scissors
that he used on Schultz for four
straight falls. Rittenhouse worked
his way to safety and minute later
had thumb hold on the local boy
who overly anxious, beat himself by
breaking the hold and dislocating his
right thumb. A minute later Ritten-
house had the wrist lock and forced
iPena's shoulders to the mat in eight
minutes.
Pena came on for the last fall
beaten man. His right thumb and
hand was swollen. He tried body
scissors, half Nelson's and hammer
locks but lacked the use of the right
hand to throw his man. Rittenhouse,
clever wrestler bided his time and
the end of twenty five minutes again
applied the wrist lock rolled over and
had Pena stretched out. The boys
will no doubt be matched again in the
near future but the bout will be staged
in Superior.

ELKS' DANCE IS
PRETTY AFFAIR

The dancing floor at K. P. hall was
crowded Monday evening as the or
chestra struck up the fox trot and the
Elks dance was on. Beautiful decora-
tions consisting of streamers and en-
blems of the Elks lodge adorned the
walls and ceiling.
Many visiting Elks from Hayden
and vicinity were in attendance Good
fellowship, for which this lodge is
noted was much in evidence. At mid
night came the luncheon and smokes
not stinted in any way. The various
committees who looked after the ar
rangements of the affair are to be COM

CAR|SCH WILL
HAVE A STRONG
ACGREG ION

Not long in the future the baseball
season in Ray and vicinity will be on.
Already the managers Of the different
teams in the Tri- Copper league are
dickering with players of note all
over the country.
Fred Carisch of the Mill team prob
ably has the hardest job of the three
managers in whipping team into
shape. At the close of last season he
had one of the best collection of miss
fits ever exhibited on the local field.
but the Carisch fighting spirit was
there and he put up a game first the
last four games of the 1916 season.
1t looks like he had obtained a real
bunch of artists this year to go with
the pick of last years team.
Carisch, John Galena outfielder and
Rankin Johnson, the big pitcher are
really the only players who are sure of
jobs this year.
Carisch has the signed contracts Cf
John Kane, outfielder formerly in the
Western and Texas leagues, Birch a
big catcher in the Texas league;
Martina pitcher formerly with the
New York Nationals and Westerzell. a
third baseman who was with the Chi
cago Federals and with the Cubs after
the Consolidation. Third base and
spots on the mill team last year.
Carisch is trying his best to strengthen
these positions.
1t looks like a good year for the
Tri-Copper League and the out look
is bright for Carisch and the Mill.
