COMING CHAMPION WRESTLER IS IN
CITY TO MEET THE CONDUCTOR

eled throughout the northwest. About
seven years ago, he was scheduled to
box here with Barry, but the police
stepped IN and stopped the bout. 1t
was shortly after that, that he started
IN at the wrestling game and had his
first match in st. Paul.
In his wrestling experience he has
met all of the big heavyweights and
has given more than a good account
Of himself. He has met Zbyszco, Gotch,
Hackenschmidt and others and has al
ways been a tough opponent. Gotch
has said, Coulter is matched with me
in strength and I am free to say that
he Is the strongest man I have ever
wrestled with. In my opinion there is
not an American wrestler in the world
today who can throw him."
Lauds the Conductor.
Cutler when asked what he thought
about Charles %Challender, the "Mys-
FERROUS Conductor" with whom he will
wrestle at the Metropolitan opera
house this evening said, "The Conduc-
tor Is the last man l would pick to
wrestle with for an exhibition in my
home town. I have acquired a repu-
tation here that the boys believe in
and going on with the Conductor
whom I believe to be the ~cleverest
wrestler at his weight in the world
today, In spite Of my size I fear that
I will not be able to make the impress
sion I otherwise might, because of his
skill at the game and the comparison
between US In size and weight.
"Challender is without doubt the
champion of the world at his weight
and although I have wrestled with
him many times, I have always had
to be on my guard all Of the time. He
is one Of the fastest men on his feet
engaged in the wrestling profession
in the world today and not only that
but he uses his brains all Of the
time.
81 expect to have 2 hard match this
evening, but my wrestling show has
kept me in fine condition and I never
felt better for a hard tussle. One
thing about the conductor and myself,
is that while we are very good friends,
we both forget that there Is such a
thing as friendship when we get on
the mat. Friendship begins again
when the referees hand comes down
on my back, put there is nothing doing
in that line while we r wrestling.
of the fang turn out in large enough
numbers tonight to make the match
worth while, and I a see my way
clear to making any money by putting
on class "a" bouts this winter in
Grand Forks, I will probably be back
here again. Kalapasha, a Greek in my
wrestling troup would make a good
match with C%hallender although l be-
lieve the conductor would throw him.
l would like to see the two matched
as it would be a great struggle. 1t Is
probable that the bout may be staged
In Grand Forks"
Matches Start Promptly.
The preliminary matches will start
promptly this evening at $3.50 o'clock
and all arrangements for them and
for the preliminaries will be an
nounced at the ringside at the Metro
5politan opera house. From the pres
ent sale and demand for seats the
house will be packed for the bout,
which will without doubt be we'll
worth seeing.
Challender has put In the past three
weeks in training and his Y. M. G. A.
classes have helped greatly In his
getting a daily workout. He IL going
into the match with the intention Of
doing his best, US his performances
here In the past month he has been
in the city, argue that his best is worth
while seeing. While he has not said
anything about throwing Cutler, he
has an idea that It can be done. and
that he will do his beat at trying It.
