Boxing and wrestling and a “battle royal” have been planned by Manager W.S. Orr as events of the day for the celebration of Labor Day at Lakewood park. These athletic contests will take place in the grove at the park and no admission will be charged. Free moving pictures will be shown at night and all of the amusement places will be open during the day and night, Mr. Orr said. A special dance has been arranged for Monday night in addition to the scheduled dance of Tuesday.
Mr. Orr did not give the names of the boxers and wrestlers, but he said the boxing match will be participated in by the light-weight champion of North Carolina and the light-weight champion of Georgia. A North Charlotte wrestler will oppose a Hoskings wrestler.
