Monday, January 9, 1922 THE ORANGE SPORTING EVENTS Do These Boys Work Out? Crack Rib, Wrench Hand From the present outlook of things there appears to be a possibility that Roy Mabee, who is scheduled to wrestle Al Sparkes to a finish tomorrow night at the Grand theatre, will be unable to keep his date. Due to a badly sprained hand, sustained yesterday afternoon while training, it looks like there will be a change in the program, unless the injured member heals sufficiently between now and tomorrow evening to permit him to go thru with the contest as advertised and do himself as well as the public justice. It appears that Roy and Big Charlie Smith were engaged in a strenuous workout and in some manner Smith tripped and fell heavily to the mat with Mabee on top of him. Mabee's hand in some unaccountable manner happened to be caught under Smith's bulky weight in the fall and was given a bad wrench. It is considerably swollen right at present but Roy has high hopes that possibly by tomorrow night the swelling might go down sufficiently to enable him to go thru with the match. However, if there does not appear to be a chance of the injury being any better than it is now by tomorrow noon, Athletic Manager Billy Darnley will substitute a good man in Roy's place and give the fans a show anyway as no doubt the big majority of them are sport hungry. Announcement will be made in tomorrow's edition as to whether the match will go thru as scheduled and if it does not, the substitute taking Mabee's place will be announced. Whichever way it goes the fans are going to be assured of a bang-up show with plenty of action and thrills. But it is hoped that Mabee can be in good shape to meet Al tomorrow night for, outside of the injured hand, his condition is of the best. In fact, both men have trained diligently for this bout and as both are very confident of winning the struggle it ought to go down in the annals of sportdom in Orange-co as a veritable "humdinger" from start to finish. The club has been put to considerable expense in promoting the match and as there has been a couple of postponements due to the recent wind storms and floods it is hoped that when the call of time sounds tomorrow night it will find Al Sparkes and Roy Mabee all set and ready for the fracas. Charlie Smith, who was to wrestle Mabee's brother, Jack, will be unable to keep his appointment for it has just developed that he sustained one if not a couple of broken ribs in his fall while working with Mabee. be caught under Smith's bulky weight in the fall and was given a bad wrench. It is considerably swollen right at present but Roy has high hopes that possibly by tomorrow night the swelling might go down sufficiently to enable him to go thru with the match. However, if there does not appear to be a chance of the injury being any better than it is now by tomorrow noon, Athletic Manager Billy Darnley will substitute a good man in Roy's place and give the fans a MUD FIELD PREVENTS BALL GAME SUNDAY If Manager Billy Knott, of the Anaheim Elks baseball team, wasn't a 33rd degree fan, he would almost decide it to be impossible to stage a baseball game hereabouts anymore. Altho yesterday was a bright, sunny day, it was impossible to bring on the B. H. Dyas & Co. team from Los Angeles as scheduled because Friday night's rain had left the outfield in such a balmy condition that it would have made the shagging of flies et cetera extremely difficult, even tho all fielder ha dfect as large as Fay Lewis. Knot has been able to stage one ROMANOFF-NELSON TO WRESTLE AT BREA Konstantine Romanoff will wrestle at Sewell hall in Brea Tuesday evening with Louis Nelson of Anaheim. It will be held under the auspices of the American Legion. Mr. Romanoff is champion of Pacific coast, with a reputation for clean sport. In Mr. Nelson he meets a man well known in this community and should make an interesting match. game over six weeks, the usual So. Cal. winter picnic weather having been regularly displaced by "unusual" weather when Sunday rolled around. Science Declares That the Average Diet is Starvation Food Do you know that when you order "a piece of pie and coffee" or "a rib steak and French fried" you are eating a starvation ration? Do you know that milling, pasteurizing, canning and other methods of food preparation either partially or entirely eliminate its most vital life-giving element? Do you know that the average cookery is so badly done that its nutritional value is practically worthless? In a word, do you realize that human illis are largely the result of lack of VITAMINES in the food we eat?

Therefore their trial, set for Monday in department one of the superior court will not take place. This was the attitude taken today by the district attorney's office regarding the three men, companions of Bessie Besole, so-called "bootleg vamp," in an alleged robbery of Geo. Talley, aged Long Beach transfer man. Tally, 71, claimed that the woman and three men robbed him of a watch and $140 after he had been lured from the pike at Long Beach to a house in Seal Beach on promise of securing liquor. One trial of the quartette has already been held. The jury was unable to agree, chiefly because of the uncertain testimony given by Talley, whose memory of the incident appeared to have been faulty, either because of his advanced age or because of the fact, which he admitted in court, that he had been helplessly drunk at the time. Tally's worth as a witness failing the state, before the trial was completed, dismissed the charge against Bessie Besole and called her to the witness stand in the hope of throwing more light on the case. Little was gained from her testimony. Gannon, Percy and Couts all denied the robbery of Talley. Two of them, they admitted, had brought him from Long Beach to Seal Beach, but it was at his own insistence that they led him to where he could find liquor. Having arrived there, he gave them money to get the liquor, they said, but they received no more than that from him. When he had become helplessly intoxicated they took him home. With the collapse of Talley as a witness, the state has decided that it would be useless to continue with the prosecution, according to a statement by Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley. A motion to dismiss the charge against the three men will accordingly be made. Chester Percy is still held in the county jail, but Gannon and Couts were released on bail of $500 each, just after their trial.
