Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 60, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 March 1911 — Wrestling Match Tonight Will Be Clean and Evenly Matched. [ARTICLE]

Wrestling Match Tonight Will Be Clean and Evenly Matched.

The wrestling match at the opera house tonight between Art Battleday and Clifford Nichols will be a good kone if the dope of thettr previous match with Guy Ropp can be taken as a basis. Each was successful ih preliminaries with Ropp and each showed some knowledge of wrestling. Battleday has been regarded as the best lightweight in Rensselaer for several years, although he has not wrestled much. Nichols is of an athletic build and a clean young man in excellent training. He is heavier than Battleday but will have plenty of trouble on his hands in pinning his man to the mat, in all probability. Two preliminaries have been arranged, Harry Hickman and Robert Anderson and the other between Eiglesbach and Sharp.
