"Red" Crawford Injured.
Sunday's Cincinnati Enquirer, says:
'In the first press dispatches containing the blowing up of the Chambers & Walker poolroom at Hot Springs, the initials of the Crawford who was injured were given as "J. O.," but telegraphic inquiry by the Enquirer developed the fact that the party is Floyd Crawford, who hails from Paris, Ky. He is a sport from his heels to his hair and is known on every running and trotting track in the land from Maine to California and Canada to the Gulf, as "Kentucky Red." He sustained a fracture of one leg, but the injury is reported as not serious. He has a host of friends in Cincinnati, as well as in other principal cities of the country, who will be glad to learn that he has not been dangerously injured, and that there is every probability that he will be up the line with the ponies when the Springtime comes again.'
