women TO MATCH
Writes Promoter Das Flynn
That He Would like to
See Many Present.

DR.. B. F. Roller, the Seattle, Wash,
physician, who will defend his title as
American heavyweight wrestling
champion against William Demetral
of Chicago at Exposition park next
Wednesday evening, in letter written
to Promoter Dan Flynn today, issues
a special invitation to the women of
the tri-cities to attend the big match.
DIR. Roller says in part: This match
will be an exhibition of mastery
science throughout. and 1 guarantee
that the contest will satisfy the most
fastidious taste, whether il be man CT
woman. l am especially DESTROYS of
seeing the women at this match, and
/ extend my personal invitation to the
members of the gentler sex. l I'M
derstand that the park management
has made an extra low price for wo-
men and | assure them that they
should take advantage of this gener-
Gus move made on their behalf Mr..
Demetral expresses the same views
as his opponent in this manner and
asks that the women come to the
match. Both men are used to appear
ing in much larger cities than Rock
Island and tri-city fans should take
advantage of this chance to see these
two great grapplers together in the
ring.
Dr. Roller expects to arrive in the
city today and will take up local head
quarters and go into immediate and
constant training for his match. Dem
etral will probably arrive tomorrow
and train at the Olympic club in Mo-
line. Both men have a large follow
Ing of fans in this vicinity and they
are expected to attend the match in
