After a conference which lasted in the neighborhood of two hours, Sat- | urday afternoon arrangements were completed for the wrestling bout which will take place between Flavie Benjamin of this town and Alvah Ventres of Berlin. The plans had been in the works for several weeks and at Saturday’s meeting of the two mat artists it was decided to stuge af- fair on Saturday night, October 6, at 8:30 in Turner hall, New Britain. From all reports it ought to be quite a mixup. The decision will be given to the one who s first two | out. of the three falls. In addition good preliminaries will be arranged. Considerable interest has been man- fested in the affair by local people and already a number have made known their intentions of attending. As Benjamin is a local boy, born and bred here and is Ventres has been a life long resident of Berlin, aggrega- tions of rooters from each town should be in attendance. Each young man asserts that he has never been thrown. Ventres claims the championship of New England at 145 pounds. Benjamin is conceded to be the best in the country tipping the scales at 135 pounds. ‘Who will be the loser is food for thought. Michael Mutto on Rampage. After a protracted flirtation <with Old John Barleycorn at some of the local emporiums last evening Michael Mutto wended his way homeward, but he did not retire at once as a peace- abiding citizen should do. KEvidently his mind wandered back to the pre- historic ages when it was the custom to beat up one’s wife if one so desired. After hurling vile epitaphs at her, according to reports, he started in pur- suit of his better half to administer a beating. She ran from the house and to the home of neighbors and ap- praised them of the attempted assault. A complaint was made to the authori- ties and Officer Marino was des- patched to the scene. ! The man yielded to the strong arm of the law and was taken into cus- tody. At present he is behind the bars awaiting trial which will be held some time today. To Have Operation.
