Union hall to Mankato Athletic hall.
A committee, consisting of Ed.
Schumacher, w. F. Pelletier, A.
Marschner, Mic Kleinschmidt and Ed.
Brett. was appointed to have charge of
a wrestling match on Thanksgiving
night. The match was arranged yes
terday between the Terrible Turk and
John J. Rooney, the giant gripman of
Chicago, formerly of this city. Both
are professional wrestlers, but they have
never wrestled each other, and the
match will be an exciting one. The
Terrible Turk is six feet three inches
tall and weighs 24O pounds, while
Rooney is five feet eleven inches tall
and weighs 100 pounds. No strangling
holds are to be allowed, and the winner
of the first three falls will receive the
purse of s4OO that the club offers. The
wrestlers are required to deposit $500
in local bank, to be forfeited to the
club in case the match is "doctored. "
A referee from this city is to be chosen
three days before The match by the
wrestlers, and must be person who is
satisfactory to the committee.
Thos Rooney, formerly of this city,
was in town yesterday to represent his
brother, and Mr.. Charlson, manager of
the Turk, was also on hand, and ar
ticles of agreement were signed, after
being carefully scrutinized by the
clubs attorney in order to protect its
interests. The tickets will probably
be placed at three dollars down, and
twenty of the best seats in the hall
have already been spoken for be travel
ing men. There is talk of securing
special trains. The match will begin
at $50 o'clock, and will no doubt prove
a drawing card, as no such famous
wrestlers have ever exhibited in Man
