Take on Three Local Boys
j.. at Jacks Rink
The wrestling fans Of the city Will
have o chance this evening to see
one Of the cleverest wrestlers in the
world today, work out In q handicap
match with three we'll known mat
artists.
Chas. Challender. the Mysterious
Conductor" known also as the Clo-
yer Belt Farmer, who has wrestled
with all Of the big men in the game
and who has acquitted himself very
creditably with the champs, IL in the
city. He has been here for the past
two week and has been taking reg
ular workout every day at the Y. N.
G. A. Those who have seen him at
work will stand for the statement
that he is the best In the line that
ever struck Grand Forks, bar none.
Challender is an even six feet in
heighth, weighs ia, is 80 years Of
age, has reach Of seventy-four inch
ea, Is we'll built for his profession,
and .is the champion wrestler Of the
world at his weight.
He has been In the wrestling game
about eight years and in that time
has met on the padded square about
700 men. Some few have defeated
him, some he has drawn with, and
he has won a large majority, but he
Is yet to have his shoulders pushed
to the mat by man Of his own or
within ten pounds Of his weight.
The three men whom he will meet
and whom he guarantees. to throw
receipts and 800 In cold hard cash,
are we'll known in Grand Forks. Arlo
Cooper was the winner Of the Y. M.
G. A. Fargo-Grand Forks wrestling
tournament and weighs in at 1853. He
Is reckoned as being one of the
classiest amateurs the city has ever
seen. Ole Hauge. while he did not
give a very good account Of himself
in the Person-Hauge match, has i'm
proved greatly since then and will
have the bulge on Challender by
about twenty-five pounds. p. H. Nc
Gurran, who was defeated here by
Doran this spring weighs one pound
more than his opponent tonight, and
this part Of. the program should be
one Of the best. Both men are about
Of the same size and the fans will
see a good bout with these two
matched. McGurran was afflicted
with boils when he met Doran and
1t is expected that he will give q
better account Of himself tonight
than he did on his previous appear
ance in Grand Forks.
Ed Doran Of Crystal, who claims
the light heavyweight championship
of the state is expected to be on hand
and from what he has written re-
garding Challender, 1t is expected
that some kind Of a match will be
announced between the two this
evening. Challender states that he
is willing to sign for handicap
match in which he will throw Doran
three times in an hour. He has 500
that he will put up on this.
Likes the Town.
Challender stated today that he
likes the city Of Grand Forks and
that II there is any chance Of enough
matches to induce him to stick
around that he will stay all winter.
II such is the case 1t is very prob
able that he and Kid Cutler will be
matched here some time In October.
Cutler wants to visit his home town
again, and has stated that he intends
to come up here this winter.
With Challender and Cutler match
ed and with a probable match be-
tween Billy schober Of Minneapolis
and Doran, which will be scheduled
as soon as Doran puts up the one
hundred simoleons, Grand Forks will
be the one spot In the state in which
things will be watched this winter.
Just q Starter.
The match tonight will be just a
starter to show the people what Chal-
lender can do. that Is according to
his story. The boys who win face
him however are Of a different mind
and while they admit that he has
them outclassed In the wrestling
game, they intend to fight all Of his
holds and try to beat him out for the
hour. $
A good preliminary match between
Jim Woods and Ed. Maure will be
pulled OF at $3.50 o'clock and the big
matches of the night will start as
soon as the preliminary is finished.
The prices will be as usual and the
fans Of the city do not want to miss
the three cornered scramble as 1t
will be the best exhibition of what
real wrestling Ia like that will be
staged here In some few moons. All
ladies will be admitted free of
( charge. Ring side seats extra.
