Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 78, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 March 1912 — The Greek and the Dutch Meet on Mat at Ellis Tonight. [ARTICLE]

The Greek and the Dutch Meet on Mat at Ellis Tonight.

Will Polos, the Greek, arrived from Terre Haute, his present headquarters. Friday afternoon, following his old time custom of getting in a day ahead of his wrestling bouts. He is in the very pink of condition, according to himself, having put in the winter at the wrestling game and having been busy with Michigan grapplers most of the time. Until recently he had his headquarters at Detroit but shifted to Terre Haute lately. He is lighter in weight than he was last year and it is probable that “Billy” Schober, the Indianapolis man, will have a little the best of Polos in weight. Schober will arrive this afternoon. He was suffering with a sprained thumb when he lost to Joe Collins here two weeks ago, but that member is entirely well and manager Jerry Walls says that tonight’s match will be worth seeing. Prof. Charles Reinecke, who claims to be the champion middleweight wrestler of the south and who conducts a school for instruction in physical culture, wrestling, sparring, jiu jitsu and resi stent training, has written here asking for a match and it is probable that he will be matched with the winner of tonight’s match. It is probable that quite a large crowd will witness tonight’B match. Mr. Walls is figuring some on bringing Mysterious Waffles here again. He is the freak who smashed a chair over his head after losing to Olsen last year.
