The wrestling sport in Barre, which
was resurrected last winter with the
appearance of Joe Shimkus, the Lithu
anian Sniddleweight, will gain little
momentum tomorrow evening in Clan
Gordon hall once again, no doubt,
when Shimkus meets Frank Delmano
of Boston. light heavyweight, who
contends that Shimkus has eluded him
several times. Shimkus read his as
sertion in The Times and decided to
meet this young Italian here to-mor-
row night. Both wrestlers declare they
weigh 1865 pounds and though Delmano
comes here with a reputation, it is
more than likely that Joe will give
him a stiff workout before a fall is
scored. A preliminary match brings
Amos Fat" King of Barre and Ted
Doyle of Montpelier together.
