The goober gobblers rejoiced
today. Victory was in the bag.
Paul Fagan, the multi-millionaire

Dusette and Gray
Win Verdict Here
On Rassiing Card
Georges Dusotte and Karl
Gray won the verdict in last
night's wrestling card at the arm
ory but it took Jerry Jerome,
representing the Medford state
athletic commission, to get it for
them.
The Diuctte-Gray combo had
taken a fall in the hectic brawl
and the Atlas was giving Gray
a genuine thumping when the
end came. Lipscomb had taken
his turn at working Gray over
when the Atlas came in to put on
the cruncher.
The Atlas applied a full nelson
and when he was awarded the
fall, he slammed the helpless
Gray into a ring corner, pain
fully injuring his neck.
Jerome Hat Say
Gray was assisted from the
ring and the Atlas and Lipscomb
went after their foes to get them
back into the ring for more hos
tilities. It was when the battle pit was
empty that Jerome entered and
announced that, in his opinion,
Gray was already "out" when
Lipscomb turned him over to
the Atlas and that the self-styled
Peacock of the Ring had used
undue rough stuff in slamming
him into the corner. Jerome or
dered Dusette and Gray the win
ners, much to the delight of the
big crowd.
In a spectacular match which
was full of lightning-fast maneu
vs and grappling skill, young,
aggressive Arne Skaaiand made
a host of local fans in his debut
by going to a fall-apiece draw
with Pierre LaBelle.

Scientists Claim
Baltimore Scientists
believe they have discovered an
antidote for the traveler's most
annoying s3menf, motion sick
ness. The antidote, a drug vaiied
dramamine, has been tested far
more than a year by the armed;
services, eotnnsercsai airlines and
individual doctors.
Dr. lslie J5. Gay, sssorisie
professor of medicine at Johns
Hopkins university medical
school, said observers who have
tested the drug ranfc it "as the
most satssfaetory drug thus far
given to medical science"' for
the ireaiment of motion sickness
eases.
OvwaJJ Turn Ud
Motion sickisess is an overaii
term for seasickness end similar
ailments thai affect train, rjiane
Sand automobile riders.
Gay said that out of 321 cases
of various types of motion sick
ness studied, draroamsne brought
relief to nearly 88 per cent of
the victims. The average was
highest in cases of airsickness,
where 98 per cent cot camntete
relief and the rest reported par-
tci cettec.
in cases of seasickness, the
drug was full effective on 7 per
cent of the 2la cases studied by
Gay, and partially effective in
almost ali of the others.
