IF CHAMPION GOTCH STARTS

MATCH TOMORROW NIGHT.

meet at catch weights in Dreamland
rink here this evening and con.
tend for the worlds mat champion.
ship. The principals have posted
$1,000 a side, and as both have been
preparing for the contest for months
the local fans are looking for one Of
the best sporting events ever pulled
of in the Northwest.
DR.. Roller has never had his
shoulders to the mat and has thrown
every one save Gotch who has ever
opposed him. This includes Farm
er Burns and Fred Beell. They met
year and half ago, and Gotch
could not throw Roller in one hour
and lost his $500 bet.
Roller has improved wonderfully
since then, and in the meantime
Gotch has conquered Hacken-
schmidt, the Russian lion. and be-
come the worlds champion. Roller
declares, "There will be no mud
singing after this match, and if /
do not win myself. Gotch will put
me down with my eye to the sky
light"
Hackenschmidt claimed Gotch
roughed him so lnuch he was used
up. Roller ought to give the
champion all he wants if he starts
that game, for the doctor was for
merly great football player and
was one of the toughest players
that ever ployed through opponents
on the gridiron. His devotion to the
wrestling game has not softened
him a bit, and Gotch will have his
hands full to defend his honors on
Wednesday.
The champion will weigh about
1876 pounds for the match and Rol-
Ter about 200 pounds.
