MEDFORD MAIL" TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREfJOX, FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1931. PAGE TWELVE I oung r irpo in lViearora nospicai v ictim ui i; istui yciueir 'ai PISTOL B U LLET OF ENTERS ARM IDAHO BATTLER Drives Car, to City After ' Accident in Dead Indian Country Prospecting During Ring Vacation (By Paul I.uv.) Young Flrpo, tho northwest's mot promising light heavyweight, Is in a hospital here, the victim of a shoot ing accident in tlio Dead Indian country. But luckily for Flrpo he's neither a dead Indian nor a dend Italian, for that matter, and he's thanking his lucky stars, or whatever It Is his countrymen thank, that tho shot went Just where It did. Tho bullet from his automatic pistol entered thj left forearm and .paused through tho flesh. The x-rny revealed that a fraction of an inch difference would have placed the bullet In tho bone. And then, mates, It might have been different story for tho future of young Flrpo In the fight racket, (lave ItlKht Name. Tho husky young flghtej was in jured Tuesday, as chronicled In tho Mall Tribune. Ho wanted to keep tho , accident from his sister In San Fran cisco, so gave his name as "Outdo Bardclll of Idnho," at tho hospital. Incidentally, that's Flrpo's monicker, so there was no kick to bo registered. Only, how many of us know Young Flrpo as Ouldo Bardclll, or vice versa. The accident at Dead Indian wasn't another "unloaded" gun episode The gun was load CO, but Flrpo isn't able to understand yet how It happened to go off. Ho was sure tho safety was on. But when he picked It up to place it on a shelf In the car, tho weapon spoke for Itself. And tho deep wound backs It up. Jtrovo to Mcdrril. Incidentally, the Italian boy he's 24 now drove his car all tho way to Med ford In splto of tho painful Injury. Ho said ho couldn't wait for a doctor to come all the way up there In the mountains. Possesilng grit 11 ko that, It's cany to see how Flrpo has been able to tako so much pun ishment In tho ring and get where . lie 1 In his profession. ' 1 Young Flrpo has been ' traveling I round through tho southern Oregon tuounUilns this summer on a vaca tion and prospecting expedition. "Yo. tho fighting gamo is that , way now, even worse," Flrpo said when asked U fighters are turning , to seeking .tho mother lodo. Ho ex plains that the box fight bust now Is "on tho frlta" this summer, with tho depression thrown In for good measure. ' . HiiiuIh (living Trouble. But ho -had another roason for roughing It In the hills for a few months. It scorns Flrpo was having considerable trouble with his hands during his last fights In Portland and other northwest oltlos. So ho thought the life In the open would holp him along. Aud It has, up to his shoot lng accident, at least. Ills hands are In better condition than for a long time, ho roports. Young Flrpo has been tho pride and Joy of fight fans in Portland and other cltloa up north for several months. Ho has been tho only fighter who could draw mora than a hand ful of ajccthtora to the recent Port laud bouts. Ills hut appenmnce there set a record by packing tho numlcl pal auditorium. He'll toe In the hoapiti,, for several days yet. 1 Aiding the A's By Pap A . ilMS, OUT AKJO VIOM FOUa STr?AI6Hr GAMES : . j A "The Smoke Shop," an attractive and elaborately1 equipped billiard room, and general headquarters for smoking supplies and soft drinks, was opened this morning on East Main street next door to the Med- ford Service station. Walter Antle, well-known resident of 'Medford for more than 20 years, la the proprie tor. Mrs. Antie and their daughter, Jane, will operate the fountain. Bright orange magazine rack, doors and front window ledges decorate the deep entrance to the new Smoke Shop. The place has a depth ox 92 feet,, affording plenty of space 'for the four large billiard tables, fountain and green card room at the rear. Trowbridge Cabinet Works manufactured the fumed oak fixtures. Twenty years ago "Walt" Antle opened the Antle-Ireland Smoke Shop in the store now occupied by the People's Electric at 2 12 West Main. In those days they carried no less than 115 brands of cigars so that when strangers asked for a Cambridge blend" they got it.
