Classy Wrestling Bout at Hermiston
Wrestling fans in Umatilla county will on Saturday evening February have an opportunity to witness what will probably be the most scientific bout ever held in eastern Oregon. Edd O Connell, wrestling instructor at the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club in Portland and who claims the 150 pound championship of the United States, has consented to journey to Hermiston to meet Jack Kennedy, the dof of the project and former champion of the Chicago Y M C A. O Connell is too well known over the state to require testimonials as to his worth as a mat artist and Kennedy, since coming to the county, has displayed such cleverness that the residents of the Irrigated section wear by him. It is probable that some of the Pendleton fans will go down to see the match.
