 The permit for the Dwyer- w ittmer wrestling match was granted this morning, and this clears the way for the contest. City Clerk Ryan said that there never had bean any doubt about the granting of rhe permit, but believed that there shousd be 8 larger detail of police on hand than at the previous contests held at the Auditor ium, owing to the great intercgt shown and the probabilities that there will be a much larger attendance than has turned out for previous matches.
 Professor Dwyer agreed with this view of the matter and secured large squad of police to handle the crowd and see that those who purchase low price seats do not flow over into the reserved sections. This will mean greater comfort for those present in all the sections and will considerably aid the people in entering and leaving.
 Wittmer this morning said that he would try to secure George LaChance for one of his seconds. LaChance is thoroughly conversant with Wittmer' s style and will aid materially in point ing out the defects in Dwyer. Witt mer has never seen Dwyer in operation and to secure a man who is familiar with the style of the "Teacher" is considered q good move by Manager Tuohey There is considerable feel ing between Dwyer and LaChance and the latter would be tickled to death to aid in his defeat if possible. Big George'' saw Wittmer wrestle Jenkins in Cleveland and knows just what the big westerner can do. He has seen Dwyer in several matches and believes that he can point out the strong and weak points to such an extent that the issue will never be in doubt.
 The advance sale of seats opened this morning at Towle's sporting goods store on Center street. but before that time there had been several mall or ders received from out of town plassss,s an indication that the contest is ex. |
