Wrestlers Are Here For Match at Ellis Tonight

Jerry Walls and Billy Schober arrived from Indianapolis this morning and Joe Collins came from Chicago at 2 o’clock. Schober and Collins will .meet at the Ellis theatre tonight in a match which Walls says will be the best one ever pulled oft here. Schober is a well built chap and is said to give Olsen, of Indianapolis, the best workoouts that he has. Collips has been wrestling for twelve or fifteen years and .is a game grappler, with a string of victories won from some of the best lightweights in the country. Walls has been in the promoting business right this winter and has brought a number of good men to Indianapolis, where the game is very popular. He has practically arranged for a match to take placet in May between Olsen and Jack Johnson, the championship pugilist. If the match takes place, it is thought there will jjot be a theatre in Indianapolis large enough to hold the crowd.
