ROLLER -LEWIS-DRAAK
ON The PLAYHOUSE Bill

Louis ]. Steelman, in an article deal
ing with eccentric millionaires. says
that the Pacific coast claims the honor
OF producing three of the strangest Of
all the worlds money kings. The
story of their recent exploits. he al
leges, will attract national attention.
The first of these remarkable per-
sOnages is Griffith j. Griffith. of Los
Angeles, who is devoting his millions
TO prison reform. The second is
Richard NJ. Hotaling. who has zone on
the stage. The third of these eccen-
trio millionaires is alleged 10 be none
other than DR.. b. f. Roller, of Seat
tie. His history as a man of wealth.
high social position and eminence in
the medical profession, as given by
Mr.. Steelman. in afull-page display in
the San Francisco Chronicle, is very
interesting to the people who have
heard about the famous physician
athlete. Mr. Steelman says.
Unusual as are the exploits OF the
foregoing two, they ere probably
eclipsed in strangeness by The last of
the trio. DR.. Roller, of Seattle. Wash =.
Dr. Roller is not only a man OF
wealth, but one of the best known sur
geons on the Pacific coast and a
fashion leader as well. With this
equipment YOU would imagine that
about the last thing in the world DR.,
Roller would yearn for would be the
wrestling championship of the world
yet that is what he hopes to win before
another year has passed.
Lewis, the present worlds cham
pion, will attempt TO throw DR.. Roller
and Tom Draak a fall each in two
hours OF wrestling at The Playhouse
on Wednesday night.

Sport Editor. EVENING JOURNAL:
Sir:-As an angler. / have been
much interested in the admirable dis
cussion published in the Sunday Star
under the title Of Rod and Reel
Happenings" which l believe is doine
much to aid the cause in which all
anglers are so deeply interested.
I regret to note that in the article
under the above heading, published in
the Sunday Star. of January 3. 1915
there seems to be a misapprehensior
as to the afIiliation of the Delaware
Anglers and Gunners Association witt
the United Anglers League OF New
York. For some reason, the writer
OF the article referred to, seemed tC
be under the impression that this af'
filiation involved the diversion OF
funds collected in Delaware, to asso'
Citations outside Of the State. This is
not the case, as every dollar collected
by our association, will be spent only
in Delaware for the carrying on OF the
work of our association. This atiiili'
alton carries with it no burden upor
our association and its members. II
means only that we may call upOr
the United Anglers League for its CO
operation. with a like obligation OF
our part to cooperate; as for in
stance, in the case Of the proposed
hatchery to be established by th'
United States Government in this
State, we would be able to call upor
the anglers of other States TO secure
the cooperation of their representa-
tives in Congress. so that far from
being a detriment or hindrance to oui
work, it may be Of the greatest assist
ance, and I would most earnestly urg'
that other associations and clubs will
objects and aims similar to our own
should form like Affiliations with out
side organizations, for if what we al
have so much at heart is TO be ac
complished, il can only be done b.
the widest and most thorough co
operation from every availble source
