curavnii of cars arrived from Ia

In spite of mud and darkening
skies yesterday many were active
about the grounds and a general feel
ing of optimism prevailed. Stockmen
and farmer were In good spirits dUL'
to the benefits to be derived to their
crops from the rains.

Local Wrestlings -Fans
to Witness
Match at Union
Wrestling fans of La Grande arc ex
pecting an unusual treat tonight at
Union, when an all-star grappling
bout will be staged In the Union
gym beginning at 7 p. m. as part of
the entertainment program of the
26th annual Eastern Oregon Live
stock show. Indications today were
that several score fans here would
make the trip to Union to sec the
match, which promises to be one of
the best ever staged In this section.
John Freeberg, 229-poundcr of Chi
cago, and who has wrestled many
main, events in Portland , Seattle and
other western cities, will take on an
Oregon boy Bob Kruse, the 2 1 0
pound barefoot wrestler from Oswego,
at one time a member of the Port
land police force. Kruse wrestled In
La Grande a couple of years ago and
made a decided Impression on local
fans.
Besides the main event, a couple of
heavies will take part In the semi
final, both weighing In at 200 pounds.
They are Leo Jenaan. of Vancouver.
B. C, and Herman Olsen, of Port
land, both well known In wrestling
circles.
The curtain raiser was scheduled
to find Jack Cox, 195-pound Union
grappler, facing Kernen Houde, 105,
of Enterprise, but there was some
possibility that Houde's spot on the
card may be replaced with some other
matman.
Joe Singer of La Grande Is pro
moter of the match, which is spon
sored by the stock show association.
