CoMeld And Hall ScrQp
At ITALIAN Hall Tonight

Jimmie Coffield, the rough and

stated that he regarded DR.. Len
Halls comments on their bouts
tonight las lot of baloney." The
two clever performers are slated
to hook up in the main event of
the mat show at ITALIAN Hall at
$3.50.
Hall, scientific grunt and
groan warrior with numerous
holds, recently said that he'd
''take that rowdy Coffield apart
and show him the finer points of
graphing after the way he treat
ed Jerry Meeker". Hall was re-
ferring to the Meeker-C offield
scrap last week, in which Coffield
dished up some of his renowned
dirty work and injured popular
Jerry's leg.
Coffield not only asserted that
Halls statements were "baloney' :,
but that he would give the bat
Ting Doc "a going over Tor his
derogatory remarks.
This match is certain to provide
an abundance of action as both
grapplers are holding no affection
for each other and both of them
know all the angles Of the mat
game.
