Auspices of p. A. & M. A.

The Pleasantville Athletic and Mus
ical Association, Inc, again give no.
tice of having completed arrange
ments for another of their high-class
entertainments, in the form of a
wrestling contest. High-class because
all the contestants are now in the
pink of condition from their recent
strenuous training at the Atlantic
City Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. These
classy contests are made possible
through the generous assistance of
Mr.. Welsh, physical director of the
Y. M. c. A., and Henry I~rslinger, for
mer Worlds Middle-W Weight Cham
pion, who will referee the contests.
Irslinger is now in training at the Y.
M. c. A. for his bout with Sam An
derson on Monday night next, through
the defeat of whom he hopes to win
back his championship honors. r.
Singer found it necessary to defeat
more than five hundred opponents
consisting of wrestling champions of
the world to secure his Worlds
Championship honors. Do not fail to
come and see this marvel of all wrest-
lers and living model of muscular de-
velopment at his weight.
The first contest of the evening will
be between Bruce Rolly, the husky
young A. c. H. S. champion, and Jack
DeGrosa. These boys at 100 will
grapple for County honors at their
weight, and a good contest is assured.
The second contest will be between
Bill Schwab, Of Yarmouth, Mass, and
Earl Gordon, Of Atlantic City. This
contest will decide a recent time limit
draw. Schwab is the cleverest boy in
this section at his weight, being train
ed down to greyhound form and pos
sesses knowledge of all of the tricks
in the game. Gordon, his opponent,
is depending upon his hercules
strength to get away with his wiry
lively contest.
great interest, due to the fact of the
initial public performance of our local
athlete and business man, Tom Woot-
ton, at 158, who hopes to show his To-
cal friends that he is in form for this
game as well as the football game
and other sports. Tom will pit his
strength and mat science against Yer
non p. Cox, the Los Angeles Cham
pion. who has been in the game for
many years and is considered a mat
wonder, having won nearly every con-
test in which he has participated.
Tom will have to get busy on this vet
eran early in the game if he looks for
a decision in his favor.
Last but not least, in fact, the big
event of the evening, will be between
Stanley Zippler, another well-known
local athlete, and Bull" Bell of the
Valmar Athletic Club, Philadelphia.
Bell carries the stage name of "Ru1lv
owing to his heavy physic and aggres-
slve methods. Bell has been in train
ing with 1rslinger of late and has
won many a hard contest and looks
like a sure winner on general princi-
plies by those not acquainted with the
recent work of our local Cyclone.
Zip has been termed the "Cyclone
Wrestler" on account of his marvel
Gus performances of agility and
strength on the mat. He is trained
down to his bottom weight, 157, and
will exert every muscle in this contest
for a throw: Zip" says he wants
work and will get it. Irslinger has
picked "Zip" for a coming champion
and has made attractive proposals to
him, to put him in right. Zip is now
considering same seriously and it may
reasonably be expected that Pleasant
vile may produce a champion. Root
for him, boys, he's clever. Don't take
our word for it; go and see for your
self. Get tickets early, as it is ex-
pected to sell house out at an early
date, and there may be no seats avail
able night of performance. Tickets,
fifty cents.
