morning met with a heavy demand.
mail orders from out of the city were
received In abundance and from the
present indications a packed house
Will be present to see the "Conduc:
tor" tho %cleverest wrestler in the
world at his weight and Charles
kid" Cutler, who according to a
great many we'll known critics. will
step into Champion Gotch's wrestling
sneaks when he retires from the
game. get onto the mat for what ia
expected to prove the best and most
interesting bout ever staged in Grand
Forks.
Cutler Is in the pink Of condition
and intends to show his old school
mates and others in the city, that he
Is as good as the newspaper writer's
IN he various parts of the good old
U. 8. A. have cracked him up to be.
Challender is also in fine shape and
his classes at the Y. M. c. A. have
been giving him just what he needs
In the line Of a work out.
In speaking Of the coming match,
Challender stated, Il know that l am
going up against a man that I con-
slider just as good a wrestler as
Frank Gotch and the man that will
eventually be the champion Of the
world. l will do the best I can and
will give Cutler the hardest fought
match that he has up against in
q long time. While I have not any
definite hopes Of winning the match,
to lose 1t will not be because I have
not worked to the best Of my ability
and tried everything in the wrestling
game that ! know of. While I may
be over confident, I feel safe in say
ing that / do not think Cutler will
be able to throw me inside Of three
quarters Of an hour and I will en-
deavor to give the wrestling fans Of
the city and the surrounding country,
who may be present to witness the
bout, the spectacle of M of the hard
est fought contests imaginable.
1.-THE match with Cutler means
more to me than is generally sup
posed, while I have made q reputa-
ton in the windy city and in the
states Of Iowa, Indiana and Illinois,
by beating some of the best men In
the heavyweight class in handicap
matches, If l am able to make more
than a good showing with Cutler, I
would be receiving messages and
kilograms from promoters all over the
country.
There is an element of luck In the
wrestling game as we'll as in any
other branch Of sports and 1t may be
possible that I will be able to throw
Cutler. intend to go into the match
with the intention Of turning the
trick. At any rate I believe that the
match with Cutler will prove to be a
whole lot more interesting and will
show the audience q great deal more
about the game as it really is fought
out among the big men, than the
Gotch-Hackenschmidt joke on Mon
day"
Plenty Time for Hunters.
It is expected that the preliminaries
will be pulled of in time or else spe-
jcial arrangements will be made that
will give the hunters plenty Of time
to drive out to the fields after the
match the night before the time al
lowed by law for the chicken season.
1t is the firm belief Of a number Of
the wrestlers who have worked out
with Challender and among those who
know something Of the game and have
seen noted wrestlers at work, that
lChallender will give Cutler a grist Of
hard work. There have been q num-
Der Of bets made that the Conductor
will stay from all the way from half
an hour until an hour, before he is
pinned to the mat. It is the concen-
sus Of opinion that the wrestling fans
Of the city will be treated to q revela-
ton in the pastime.
Follower Of Gotch
Speaking Of Challender calls to
mind the fact that he made as close
q prediction Of the Gotch-Hacken-
schmidt match as possible. When
asked about the big bout at Chicago.
the Conductor" stated that he ex-
pected Gotch to win In two straight
falls in about thirty minutes and he
also stated that he believed that
Gotch would throw Hack using q half
Nelson for one and q toe hold for the
other fall. His guess was backed up
by the fact that he has wrestled with
both men and had drawn conclusions
as to their individual ability.
Preliminaries Are Good.
The preliminaries which will be
staged before the big match on We'd
nesday night are good. The first will
be pulled of between Elmo Robertson
and Petos the Greek. The latter is at

pain in his side. but 1t is thought that
he is but running Q blur on Robert
son, who intends to go after his op-
ponent from the start Of the match.
These two will weigh In at about 166
and 100 pounds respectively.
Paul Goodman and Eddie Maurer
will put on the second bout and this
is expected to prove interesting to
the fans. Goodman has about five
pounds advantage on Maurer, who
weighs an even 120. Maurer incl
dentally holds the Y. NJ. G. A. state
championship in the lightweight class.
Angie Mcdonald and Bun Deitz are
scheduled for q preliminary and both
of these wrestlers have acquired an
enviable local reputation. They arc !
very evenly matched and on Monday |
