'l STRONC MEN TO
MEET ON THE MAT
Th« wrestling match to be polled
off Saturday nigbt at Robarts’ hall
promises to be the best sporting
event ever given in Anchorage. The
contestants. Young Tilting and
Hjlmar Saralla, are thoroughly fa
miliar with the game and are mus
cular young men. The ladies are
invited to attend the event, as there
will be nothing objectionable in the
contest to the gentler sex. The pre
Timinary event between Casey Jones
and an unknown will be worth the
price of admission, to say nothing of
the bigger contest.
