CHAMPION WRESTLER
 OF THE UNITED STATES
pr. g. F. Roller, the Seattle Physician,
 Regarded as a Marvel.

Dr. F. r. Roller. who is to Wrestle in
 T. A. E. hall Tuesday night with the
 Irish Giant, Jack McGrath, is perhaps
 the most unique figure on the wrestling
 mat today, on account of his early
 training He is q, graduate physician,
 medical school, but has abandoned his
 profession temporarily on account of
 the wonderful success he has attained
 on the mat. Since the retirement of
 Gotch. pr. Roller has been conceded
 the champion of the United States, as
 he has yet to be defeated by anybody
 but Gotch. His greatest match was
 with ZbysZko in Kansas City, March 22, when the two wrestled two hours
 and 22 minutes without either getting
 a fall. and the police then stopped the match, as both men were exhausted. There were 12,000 spectators at the contest. and they cheered the men ten
 minutes after the contest was stopped. Dr. Roller was born on farm not far from Newman, H., July 1. 1876. At the age of r he started to work his way through school and college, and was graduated from DepauW uniVer- sitv with the degree of E. $. in 1898. In June. 1902, he received his M. D. from the medical department of the UniVer- sitv of Pennsylvania. He won the Saunders prize of S10G in gold there for excellence in scholarship. He was uresident of his class for two years, a member of the college glee club, and a member of the Phi Beta Theta and Skulls fraternities.
 He has taken a prominent part in athletic since his earliest days, and made an enviable record in achieve ments in football and track pursuits while in college. Dr. Roller is mar vel It is only four years ago this fall that he took up wrestling. His ad- vancernent to such q, high place in the profession is wonderful to students of the wrestling game, who claim that q wrestler does not begin to get real
 good until he has been on the mat for
 years and has learned the game by eX-

Official Batting and Fielding Averages
 to Be Issued Monthly.

Edward G. Barrow, the new presi- dent of the Eastern league. is to be commended for the amour cement that the official batting and fielding averages would be issued once month next year, instead of waiting until the end of the season. The Ma tional and American leagues might do well to follow it's lead. It would in vOlve some additional clerical work, but it would be mighty acceptable to followers of the sport.
