YOUNG OLSEN AFTER
JOE TURNER AGAIN
newfoundland Tiheholder Says Local
Grappler Was Lucky
to Win.

Young Olsen, the wrestler who was
defeated by Joe Turner, middie-weight
champion of the world, Friday night at
the Gaysty Theater in the fastest bout
ever witnessed here, is not satisfied with
the result OF that match.
Turner was lucky to beat me last
night said Olsen yesterday. "I went
on the mat after Turner had thrown me
a little winded. and he got a bad hold
on my right knee. La Selle hit me last
Wednesday night. and I was little
weak. bu; at that Turner would have
never put my shoulders to the mat had I
been able TO put any real strength In my
right leg.
la Selie threw me off the mat, my
right eIbox and knee hitting the foor
hard. Ny elbow was cut but that did
not hinder me as much as the weak
knee If Turner will give me another
chance / will train for at least two
weeks, and then the fans will see the
Washington man beaten, fair and
square," continued the fast lad from the
North.
Olsen leaves the city this morning for
Laconia, n. H., where he is booked to
meet Sandy McCloud Thursday night in
a finish match for 4 purse of 800

NO. 1.-CoNDITIoN.

A wrestler, either professional or ANA
teur, must train for a match. No
wrestler in the world is able to go on
the mat and wrestle for hour or more
without a great deal Of preparation.
One thing that 1 have always advo-
Gated for youngsters starting In the
wrestling game is to leave tobacco and
liquors alone. While 1 smoke once in
a while, it is always cigar, and then
smoke in the open air. But, with a
hard match In view, 1 never indulge in
smoking In the least, and to that one
thing / believe my success Is due.
Smoke deadens the brain, and a wrest-
Ter must have a fast brain: one which
is able to break his opponents holds be-
fore it is too late. Liquor will hurt any
one who uses il to an extreme, and for
an athlete, a wrestler more than any
other, to use whisky in any form, is the
height of folly.
A professional wrestler is always in
condition; that Is, he never stops train
ing altogether. With an amateur 1t Is
different. He works, say three times a
week at his club. always with a man who
is his friend, and who is not looking
for a chance to injure him. He gets
plenty of work and keeps his weight
down, and when he goes on the mat in
a tournament he is ready. With pro-
fessional the game is not play. but the
way in which he makes his living.
When two professionals meet on the
mat, with big purse up. they do not
take chance, but get down to work at
the start. For this reason condition is
SO important, for some bouts last for
two hours. and to wrestle two hours Is
no easy task. Then again, a professional

No. J. Eat a light meal for breakfast,

ten or fifteen minutes before eating. as
this aids digestion. =

except cabbage and potatoes. Avoid
pastry and sweets of all kinds.
No. g. An amateur must work out at
least three times week. and the best
time is about $50 or o'clock.
No. Z. Work with a heavy man, fif-
teen. or twenty minutes. and finish with
a light man, and In that way you will
develop speed. which is SO important TO
wrestlers.
