An amusing incident occurred last week
at the Indiana State Fair that, was not

of New York City was heading an ath-
letic show on The Midway, and he was
meeting all comers in wrestling and
boxing.
His mat challenge was accepted by
our own Howard y(Kid) Wiggam. light
heavyweight, who happened to. stroll into
the show. The kid refused the offer of
handicap, agreeing to wrestle on even
terms with the big fellow despite the
fact that the champion" held a weight
advantage of about thirty pounds.
A one-fall match was carded and. after
employing every known hold in the mat
game without getting results and, even
being on the verge OF defeat himself, the
big wrestler, In desperation, secured the
illegal strangle hold on Wiggam and OBJ
tanned a fall.
Wiggam, on complaining about the un-
fair hold, was told by the giant to "go
on back. to the dairy farm, you big
Hoosier.'
Wiggam then asked to box few
