ing with a bear is having an eye,
mouth or nose slit open by his
claws. Turner always kept Billy's
claws well manicured for this reason
and used only ordinary wrestling
toggery for their matches.
Bears, according to Joe, are nat

by watching two cubs horsing
around. Bruin will lean on An

and five minutes in the ring with
him is tougher than a half hour
with the average mailman.
Bear Roams Ninth Street.
Turner never had any serious
accidents with Billy, although the
bear escaped from his quarters on
lower Ninth street one night and
almost frightened an old colored
fellow out Of his wits. The latter
was on his way home in = highly
fluid state when Billy came up
from the rear and attacked a pound
of pork chops. The pedestrian
thought 1t was a big, shaggy dog
and slapped at it a couple of times
before the hazy truth broke through
his misty brain. Joe swears the
man broke the mile record going

wrestling card. The bear will be

Billy, my old wrestling. bear, about
20 years ago. But there's a trick
to 1t, and it's not easy"
Joe Demonstrates Technique.
Without further ado Joe proceed
ed to show how he threw Billy
by locking his paws and forcing
him back on his launches. Then
he'd straddle old Ursus and ease
him back on the mat until his
shoulders touched. A count wasn't
necessary. The referee figured any
man who could put bear down de-
served to win, but Roy Welch, Gin.

training bout with him-they called
him John Brown-when acci-
dentally bent his paws back. He
went down like a rug. Well, the
fellow training him said Try it
again, so l did. But this time as
he started to go down his trainer
yelled, Come on, John Brown and
that bear was as ornery as 10
Wrestlers. He just wouldn't 20 down
and finally wore me out.
Il found out later the gang picked

training. But when it came to the
actual match with money on the
line and the wrestler's friends bet
ting heavily on him John Brown
would win. The gang laid its money
quietly, you know. without the wres-
tiers knowledge"
Turner also wrestled Alice Teddy,
a roller-skating cinnamon at the
Arcadia and had a match with Big
Jim, star performey on Keiths
vaudeville circuit. All bears were
not only muzzled in those days,
but some trainers insisted that
their opponents wear leather jackets.
The greatest physical risk in work.
