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.

"The Smoke Shop," an attractive

room, and general headquarters for
smoking supplies and soft drinks,
was opened this morning on East
Main street next door to the Med-

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

Modern smokers are satisfied to
choose their favorite from five or
six standard cigars.

Some will pack into remote forests,
where the loss ambitious Bportsman

laborious. Others .will visit old burns,
neighboring much traveled highways,
and a few will remain near home and
