Olson and Mysterious Waffles To Wrestle Saturday Night.

Rensselaer is to have another wrestling match next Saturday night and it loks like the best card ever put on here. The' principals are Charles Olson, of Indianapolis, who had no difficulty in disposing of Sam Murbarger recently, and who is recognized as the light heavyweight champion of the United States, and “Mysterious Waffles,” a Turk wrestler of national fame. Olson’s mastery of wrestling is unquestioned and his exhibition here with Murbarger met with such favor with those who witnessed it that Manager Ellis was asked by many to put oh another match with an oppon-

ent for Olson that would put up a more even contest. Olson agreed to return to 1 meet any wrestler in his class and “Mysterious Waffles” was procured. He weighs 195 pounds as against 185, Olson’s weight. The match will take place next Saturday night, May 6th, and will be the best two out of three falls. A preliminary has been arranged between Harvey Myres, the Jasper county champion, and Freddy Beeli, of Logansport. Beell weights only about 140 pounds and was no match for Polos in a contest held at Remington. He is, nevertheless, a very clever man for his weight, and Myres will doubtless have some trouble to handle him, owing to his lack of experience.
