Polos, the Greek wrestler, arrived in Rensselaer this Saturday morning for* his match tonight with., “Billy” Stewart. He did not bring with him a bunch of managers and seconds, but came alone.

He is 22 years of age and has been wrestling for about three and a half years. He says that he don’t mind how stout his opponent is. He stated that he will throw Stewart unless he has considerable scientific knowledge of the wrestling game. Polos is about 5 feet, 8 inches in height and weighs ready for the mat 158 pounds. He has broad shoulders and strong jaws and his arms are large and solid. He is good natured and withstood a little joshing by Stewart partisans without getting ruffled. He stated to a reporter that he will not engage in a frame-mp with any person and that any match he engages in will be on the square. Polos works In a Greek restaurant in Lafayette. He was disappointed to learn that the prices for witnessing the matfeh were only 25, 35 and 50 cents. He thought nothing should be lower than 60 cents and running up to sl. The advance sale has been as large as it was for the Maple-Stewart match and a big audience will witness the match.
