Fred Hall to Meet World’s Champion in Morocco.

Freddie Hall, of Morocco, has signed articles with Johnny Billitei, of Toledo, Ohio, light-weight champion of the world, to wrestle for the title on May 30th in Morocco. Both boys have posted a forfeit for weight and appearance. Edd Smith, spotring editor of the Chicago American, will probably referee the contest. Hall has wrestled in several wrestling shows in Rensselaer and so far none of the local hopes have been abel to do anything with him. Hall claims Morocco as his home, but it is evident, from the class he has shewn that he has learned the wrestling game some place other than Morocco.
