WRESTLE DEMON
George Nicholson Invited to
Come to Waterloo for a
Match.
WIRES HIS ACCEPTANCE
Though Iowan Defeated Brondell
the Demon Is Not Afraid to
Grapple With Him.

George Nicholson, the Greek de-
mon, will probably go to Waterloo
to wrestle Carl Brown of that city
Friday evening, invitation for a
match having come by wire to the
demon this morning. An offer of a
80 and % per cent split, with no
weight limit was sent. The demon
replied at once that he would accept
the offer for a match and be willing
to split rs and 25 if the weight limit
be set at las pounds, ringside, or, if
Brown desired, to enter at catch
weights and winner to take 60 per
cent of the wrestler's receipts and
the loser what is left. George is in
training and will be in readiness to
jump on the mat Friday evening.
IN GOOD FORM.
He has kept working since his de-
feat by Brondell and besides being
in good condition, is determined to
win and so retrieve his defeat. Brown
is the boy who put Brondell to the
mat few weeks ago and Lucas Lam
piris a few nights ago. He is a lit
tie heavy, say both the wrestlers, fol
welterweight, and they have used
that excuse for their defeat. Nichol
son will go in to win, and chances
are that he will give the Iowan 6
harder tussle than either of the othel
| tri-city mat artists.

his position, has forsaken the

Though he is suffering from a bad

will be in shape to defeat Collins next
Thursday evening. He is working
hard and expects an easy victory. He
is aware of the fact that Collins is an
old head at the game, but is confident
