The Grand.
ROEBER VS.. TURK.

Ernest Roeber, the wrestling cham
pion of the world will meet the Terrible
Turk at the Grand tonight, and the
contest will no doubt prove to be the
most interesting athletic event Of the
season. Roeber has met and defeated
all of the old world champions, and has
never been thrown, although meeting
800 wrestlers in nine months. The Ter
rible Turk has the reputation of never
having been defeated. Strange as it
seems these two greatest of Wrestlers
have never met. This circumstance is
not due to fear of each other. but to
engagements which separated them
and made meeting impossible. When
the Roeber-Crane company came here
Grand, Roeber issued a challenge to the
world to meet all corners, and offering
to give $25 to all who staid fifteen min
utes. The Turk read of the challenge
in a sporting paper and telegraphed
Wednesday night if it were true. Roeb-
er promptly answered that it he would
accept the challenge he (Roeber) as an
extra inducement would make the con-
test fifteen minutes and give $100 if he
(the Turk lasted to the limit, also Of
fering $3.50 If he succeeded in throwing
him. The following wire was received
last night:
ERNEST Roeber, The Grand, New Fla
ven: Accept the terms. Will reach
New Haven Friday afternoon"
The men will be on the mat at 10 p. m.
