Buck was refereeing the Hercules
A. G. mat program at the Armory
last night, and was doing all right
by himself until he committed the
grave mistake of attempting to sup
press wild display of anger by
Irish Pat O'Shocker. Pat, 227-
FOUNDER from salt Lake City, got
his Irish up during the second fall
of the feature tussle when grimacing
Frank Speer, 236-pound Georgia
'meanie," tossed him through the
ropes and into the ringside seats a
couple of times.
He's Angry, it Seems
Irish Pat stormed back into the
ring after his second outward trip
with his face and neck as red as his
hair and his eyes blazing. He
headed straight for Speer and
rammed his knee into that gentle
mans expansive mid-section. AS
Speer doubled over, Pat popped him
on the chin with his forearm, then
countered with his knee again, keep
ing up that rhythmic procedure
until Referee Buchanan, deciding
the Irishman was tossing in a few
illegal punches and strangle holds
for good measure, hustled to inter
vene.
Peevish Pat turned on Buck with
snarl, whirled him to the canvas,
and renewed his assault on Speer
who evidently was past the stage
of resistance. Buck tried to join
the party again and was rewarded
with another flying dive into the
resin. AS you might suspect, the
rowing referee was little worked
up himself by that time, SO he
hustled back into the melee, only
to be met squarely by Pats bruising
forearm, which necessitated third
quick trip to the floor,
Awards Match to Speer
Let it be said of Buck that he can
take it. He pulled himself up again,
caught Speer alone moment while
Pat was catching a second breath,
and raised the Georgian's hand in
victory.
Then the irate Irishman went
completely beserk. While a crowd
of spectators surprisingly large for
the frigid weather milled noisily
about the ring, O'Shocker made sew
eral extra -curricular attacks on his
bewildered foe despite the cautious
efforts of the referee, handlers, and
three or four guys named Elmer to
pen him up. Hostilities finally end
ed when Speer found his way out of
the arena and headed for the dress
ing room, leaving the Irish red-head
to rant and snort with his self
appointed cooler-of The ex-
element lasted over a span of five
minutes.
Speer won the first fall in % min
utes after slowing O'Shocker with
a series of forearm smashes.
Danny Draws the Line
Daniel Boone Savage, of the Boyd

etiquette with Bill McElroy, 30
pound Bostonian, before they went
at it in the semi windup. But Nc
Elroy impolitely disregarded the
paw of good will, and minute later
found himself being tossed all over
the ring. Big Bill resorted to speed
of the backward variety.
Bewhiskered 250-pound Savage
chased him for seven minutes, then
literally drew the line. Danny de-
scribed an imaginary stripe across
the center of the arena with his
toe. dared McElroy to transgress it.
McElroy did, took a neat clip on
the chin, srn-awled flat on his back
and the pride of the Boyd County
SavageS was aSsuaged.

opener.
