SEATTLE Wrestler
Is SIDESTEPPING

Minneapolis Journal: DIR. Benny
Roller, wrestler, psychologist and doc
tor, was in the twin cities yesterday
and, true to his calling, was peddling
the salve regarding his recent match
with Ordemann i'm Seattle.
In defense of the iobbing of Orde-
mann by Referee Kid Hermann, Roller
declared that Ordemann turned yell
low in the bout, but said little about
Ordemann having him out of commits
sion at the time the match was declared
over by the referee. He did not dis
cuss his inability to get up when Orde-
mann got through with him, nor did
he have anything to say in explanation
of the Seattle crowd Kissing the
referee for his work
Neither did the large one discuss
Ordemann's offer to wrestIe him in
Chicago or Kansas City, winner take
all. He mentioned that he was very
busy just now with matches; in fact,
went by the offer on the high gear
and the muffier cut out. He was MAX
ing so much noise about Ordemann' s
alleged quitting that he had no thine
to discuss meeting the alleged yellow
kid" for finish match, the winner to
grab the entire purse.
Roller, according to report, is cover
ing up the whole affair with slurring
remarks about Ordemann's gameness
and the somewhat egostistic statement
that Ordemann should not feel sorry
to have lost match to wrestler of
his (Roller's) great ability, saying
nothing about Ordemann having ham
died him like the mill hand losses
around a sack of -four. ...
This sort of thing will not get Roller
anywhere or much of anything. He
will have to meet Ordemann again in
some neutral city and with referee
whose decisions will be above suspicion
He cannot dodge the meeting. His
home city newspapers, friendly to a
native son, did not give Roller any
thing on his match and Ordemann is
too well known in this part of the
country for anyone to get any dis
lance with stories that he is a gutter
or possesses a yellow streak.
The Seattle man may sidestep for
season, but public opinion will force
him into bout.

A Rough Game.

Concerning the st, Joseph and Fargo

The game was played on the st. Jo-

"St. Joseph assumed the lead at the
start, but experienced considerable
difficulty in keeping 1t, as the Da-
kotans were well trained. Time and
time again the game was called tenn
porarily on account of rough work
and fouls were numerous. The win
ners put up their usual fast offensive
line of play and their defensive work
made it difficult for the Dakota play
ers to get their teamwork started.
"Thielen made two sensational bas-
kets from the center of the floor and
in addition to this got ten fouls. The
Faber brothers also did well. F.
Tierney probably played best for the
visitors"
