Of bouts that will likely be staged at

Charleson formerly conducted wrestling
here with considerable success. 1t was
he who brought Stecher, the new world
champion, to indianapolis several yen IS
ago. and he asserts that Stecher WI
be among the cards whom he will offer
here during the spring.
The program for the first show has
not as yet been completed, but ii is

and that all bouts will be to a finish.

les, but most of the talent will be i'm
ported, as indianapolis hasn't had n
top notch wrestler in the heavyweight
class since Charles Olson was in his
prime.
Never in the history of the game has
wrestling been as prosperous as it is
today. Interest in 1t is nation wide.
and New York is wildly enthusiastic
over the sport, as was demonstrated by
the $4,000 house which witnessed the
recent Stecher- Caddock bout, in which
Stecher regained the championship. Then.
too, there is an entirely new crop of
mat artists that are going good, most
or whom have never appeared here, hence
there should be no dearth Of talent for
Charlesons shows. He expects to hold
bouts about twice each month.
