GRAPPlERS READY
FOR BIG BATTLE
ED LEWIS AND DIR. ROLLER WILL
MEET HERE TUESDAY
NIGHT,

stranger Lewis" the scientific Ken
lucky grappler. realizes there Is one
man standing between himself and the
chance to wrestle for the worlds cham
pionship. That man is DR.. r. r. Roll
Ter, the famous physician athlete and
ex-American champion. Should Lewis
succeed in defeating Roller at the City
auditorium next Tuesday night. the
clever grappler from the Blue Garss
state will be entitled to a match with
ZhYszko. AT present the recognized
champion. Lewis has a world Of con-
fidence In himself and since his match
with Roller the Kentucky boy is more
confident than ever that he can win
from the physician wrestler Lewis
thinks his staying powers are better
than Rollers and, therefore. he will
be able to outwrestle the physician.
That Lewis has wonderful endurance
nc one will deny, for the Kentucky
boy demonstrated that beyond doubt
when .ha defeated Roller here some
time ago. After the match Lewis was
as fresh as a daisy, while Roller was
all in after the first fall.
Beside endurance and confidence,
lewis is also possessed OF speed and
science. In fact, after taking sec

in Richmond on his FIRST appearance.
bat not until he defeated Roller and
the Turk did the fans realize that he
was a near champion grappler.
The Kentucky boy was boosted
pretty strong before his first appear
ance. but his press agent certainly told
the truth about the Blue Grass Crap
hles. Lewis made more than good all
that was said about him. and for that
reason the local mat fans give the
"strangler" an even break with the
famous physician. DR.. Roller himself
realizes that in Lewis he will meet
one Of the toughest, ramest and clever
est wrestlers now trying for cham
rionship honors. Roller has been at
the top of the heap Of wrestlers for
long time and has won his spurs on
the mat Lewis however, has Just
reached the goal he has been striving
50 hard for the past few years. A
victory over Roller without the strange
hold will put Lewis in the front rank
Of grapplers and for that reason both
men will be IN lighting trim when time
is called at the City auditorium next
Tuesday night. MFR. Calder is promot-
ing the match and the auditorium was
secured In order to accommodate the
large crowd that will come out te
witness thn battle for the American
championship.
