AN EXPLANATION
MADE BY OLSON
Rock Island Wrestler Writes to Bur
Iington Paper With Refer
ence to Match.

Charles Olson" of Rock Island
writes to the Burlington Hawkeye for
the purpose of making some correc-
tiOns. Among other things, he says
that his manager told the Burlington
sports his name was not Olson, but
they said they did not care who he
was; they had a man who could best
him. He says that he told all the fel-
lows at Burlington. who asked him
about the match, that he would win.
and if they bet against the tip it was
not his fault.
He says further that he never told
anyone that he ever beat Farmer
Burns; that he never had hold of him,
and considers him the best man in the
world TODAY
