DUcRAY MUST WIN OR LOSE
HIS TITLE AS CHAMPION

Frank DuCray, of Grand Junction.
who holds the title as champion heavy
weight wrestler of Colorado, must win
or lose the title on October II, at his
home city. Ben Parrish, of Olathe
and Delta, who has contested with
1.-THE champion several times has again
secured a final match.
Ben Parrish has been taking on all
comers. big, little and odd-shaped for
the past two or three years, and really
has worked himself up to the top
notch in the game. He is a nice. clean
young man and will either be champ
ion of Colorado after October II, or
be the same old Parrish, taking on
all contestants that happen along,
Parrish contested with DurCray at
Olathe. three years ago at Delta July
4th, 1917, and at Montrose. July 4th
this last year. The two first matches
DuCray won, after a tussle lasting
into the second hour. At the last
match at Montrose, they wrestled
for two solid hours, resulting in draw.
DuCray stated that that match would
be the last, but finally they have in
duced him to either win or lose and
settle the state championship.
Delta, Montrose and Olathe, all
wanted to have this final match be-
tween these two men, but Grand
Junction offered the largest purse,
namely s11OO and will have the event
there.
This match will probably draw the
largest crowd one of any that has
been held on the Western Slope. as
both men are well known and
have a strong following.
