DIR. PLUMMER REFEREE

Dick Cuoey. promoter or The fokei-
Demetral wrestling bout tonight IN inc
Auditorium. was conGrafulauhe n'flsei'
Nesterday because be had obtained tne
cansent or Ilr Charles G. Plumn1eri 10
rnr-ree the match lie was further elated
hy u A Csllahan's acceptance Of mo
nort nr official timexepsr. Both appoint
nents are sure 10 please The public better
the, any others which could have been
made. .,. $1,000,
thoroughly and has had suhlcient eNpeli-
ence. He believes tina; 1t Is inli grown
mans sport hence he is moi al aH iikely
to give undue importance 10 the clause
in the peculiar agreement signed by me
wrest,ers barring unnecessary oni,n lousnr
In the ring this stipulation might become
3 stumbling block. but Or. Pinmin,er ,
: doubtless will simply ignore 1t as he
would any other idiosyncraoy
Salt Laieers have become used TO the
familiar figure OF y. a. Callahan al the
ringsioe whenever real athletic entertain
nents have been staged. lie IS a time
keeper par excellence and his Nnowledge
ot all kinds OF athletics is accurate as
we'll as extensive.
Neither DIR, Flummer or Callahan
would have accepted the positions IL lhey
had not been convinced that the bout
will be well worth seeing and sansiac-
tory 10 the public at large
Mike Would Like to Know.
Herr Mike Yokel also believes II Will
he good match although he naively ad-
mils he does not expect 10 ENJOY 1t
hugely until ii Is over and then--perr
haps Mike has been going through the
experience Of being asked to answer Il
question when he. himself, would give
a. big round sum 10 learn the result. NO
hcilv in town is more anxious 10 know
how the match will come out. YET he is
supposed to tell instead OF 10 inquire,
He just does not know. so what's the
use OF asking An expression OF opinion
concerning the outcome, however rash the
guess might he. will be more interesting
10 Nike than a request FOR his views.
Mike has one well-known mat theorem.
however. that may help 10 anticipate the
result. 1t is this:
Whenever a wrestler gets one fall,
SAYS Mike. lit il pretty certain lie will
set another When man IS thrown
once, it is almost a miracle If he comes
back and throws the other fellow
Therefore II you see Mikes shoulders
20 TO the mat before forLy-hve minutes
have elapsed, YOU can guess the rest
Demon Bill De,netral has been warn
ing his Compatrlots not 10 deprive them
selves OF needed funds TO bet ON him,
He says he expects 10 win but docs not
know the outcome.
The reason why there has been so much
betting is that both Wrestlcrs in other
Matches have often enriched their back
crs. There are few wrestling fans in
Salt Lake who have not won wager OF
some sort. on Mike Yokel. When an
athlete enables n baclScr 10 win two or
three bets, that backer is pretty sure
10 back him in anything the athlete rn-
dertalees, Dcmctral is q veritable hero
among his coun;rymcn.
Demetral often Victorious.
Until G;otch threw him in a bout on
which there was practically no betting,
pemctTsl had not been thrown for a
year. and then Gotch was the man who
did il in Pueblo, Being thrown by C;otch
cannot detract from q light heavyweight
wrestIers record.
II will be noted then thai the men who
meet tonight both have long series OF
trlumphs 10 their credit. 1t is natural
therefore that their admirers arc betting
heavily.
Eoth men arc well trained and in per-
feet condition. y ollcl unless nc is thrown
in tho drst thirty minutes Is apt 10 as
sumo the aggressive. He may not wait
that long If nc secs what lie considers Il
mind his theory that II nc throws a man
oncc he can do il again in less time.
iIemetrsl Is going tn hustle from tho
start He says he go an hour AT top
speed He will work much faster than
II III a match that had time limit.
IT Is likely therefore 10 prove the llvclicst
bout ever seen in Salt Lake.
Cooley says his patrons will be given
p pleasant surprise when they sec the
improvements in The seating. arrange
ments. He also reports that tho advance
sale has exceeded his highest cxpecta-
lions, without tic extra room, he has
provided, he SAYS he would be sold ont
ncT. but the alterations have insured n
GOOD scat for every patron.
