Wrestling Card at the Ellis Theatre This Evening.

The open wrestling bouts of the season will be staged at the Ellis theatre this evening immediately after the band concert. Everett Marlin, who showed considerable class as a mat artist last winter, will wrestle Vic Michaels, best two falls out of three. Marlin and Michaels wrestled two hours to a draw last winter, the bout being stopped at midnight, on account of the next day being Sunday. The second bout of the evening will be between Allen Cook, who has never v’restled here before, and Fred Hall, of Morocco, who last spring threw Johnny Billeter, of Toledo-the world’s lightweight champ at that time, and by victory over Billeter, Hall claims the championship of the world in his weight. Hall is undoubtedly a very clever mat artist and it will take a mighty good man to throw him.
