Wrestling Match Postponed; Principal Injured Saturday.

The wrestling match booked for the Ellis theatre for Wednesday night of this week has been postponed for two or three weeks owing, to an Injury which occurred Saturday afternoon to Miss Cora Livingston, one of the prin cipals. Miss Livingston had been in an Indianapolis theatre all . week, meeting all comers of her sex and offering $25 for any woman she could not throw in 15 minutes. Jerry Walls, the promoter, who came here last year with Sam Marbarger, sent to Chicago and procured a woman wrestler named May Herman, who stayed the 15 minutes and got the $25. Saturday after ■ noon the two wrestlers met again at a matinee and they began roughing it in Gotch-Hachenschmidt style. Miss Hermen got a toe hold on Miss Livingston and held to it so vigorously that the ligaments in Miss Livingston's ankle were torn loose and now she can’t Walk. It will be two or three weeks before she will be able to get into wrestling trim again. ? Manager Ellis had started the advertising but has recalled it and it is expected that the match will be held in about two or three weeks.
