HEROIC DR.ROLLER OUT-WRESTLED BY "STRANGLER" LEVIS; WILDE MATCHED WITH MOORE "STRANGLER" LEWIS WON FROM DR. ROLLER WITH HIS FLYING HEAD-LOCK Dr. F. B. Roller, an eminent phy sician of New York, did more to put clean and strategic wrestling back on American mats last night than perhaps he realized. This in telligent promotor of heartily sport, for one night, forsook his busy otliee in Gotham and came to Harrisburg, of which he had pleasant recollec- j tions, having played football here in | 1905. Dr. Roller, like Steve Brodie, took a chance. Having been one of j the teachers of Ed. "Stranglcr' , Lewis, he predicted long ago that j this giant would be champion some day. In the course of the training Lewis naturally learnedmany ofltol ler's tricks ami he surely disclosed a j bunch of them last night. There j was an element of almost tragedy i in the finish when the pupil sudden ly sprang at the mentor, for all the j world like a tiger, hungry and just | uncaged; fixed on him his deadly head grapple and for one minute 1 compressed the physician's head and j neck so viciously that the report i went about of his neck being dis- j jointed. , I The gallant physician s plight | brought to his dressing room im- j mediately some of the most brilliant surgical talent in Harrisburg, among I the local physicians being Dr. Kun- , l<le who has been a most interested I observer, and Dr. Hartman. Roller's | amazing strength served in .good j stead, for he recovered shortly and j was able to travel back to Gotham j at midnight and be on the job at his , office to-day. It was a representative Harris- ; burg crowd; nothing like it had been seen here for years. Such substan tial citizens as Orville Hickok lined j the front rows and the youngsters j gathered about him henrd the fine j points of wrestling as Mr. Hickok's | discriminating eye ogled the spec- | tacular stunts. Spectacular was the I word. And although the full strangle j hold was barred there were enough startling surprises to hold the an ditorium at Chestnut Street thrilled! every second. Time and again Lewis j got his old teacher in that fatal head ; clutch and when about to twist him j over so his shoulders touched the j doctor either writhed or plunged l free, getting tremendous applause, ; for the crowd was witli the man of j 4.1, as matched against the youngster i of 27.

Herman & Co. worth ,t. Makw , | WEDNESDAY EVENING, The fact that wisdom and science are of utmost importance was mani fested by Dr. Roller who, by ail tokens, should have won the match, for he bad Lewis all but over time and again, and only the ropes saved the Strangler. Perhaps, because he had developed Lewis when he was raw and unaccomplished the doc | tor took some liberty with the i Strangler's phiz, and the fans saw j him frequently cover the opponent's | face with his hand and he seemed to be twitching the Strangler's nose. He did not like it, and shaking his I massive head on its thick neck he appealed several times to Referee Max Bauman, whose handling of the j bout is to be commended. The lib i erty appeaved to enrage Lewis finul- J ly and he started in to make a quick l finish, which he certainly aceom j plished. Lewis was all set evident j ly as he rushed from his corner and ! the doctor's doom was sealed the ] second that Lewis got liim with his j famous flying headlock. There was J no escape this time and the doc tor, I after terrible seconds of torture slowly succUmbed, being almost un conscious when the Strangler arose from the mat of victory. "I never I thought ho could give me so tough ,a battle" was Lewis's remark as his old teacher was supported to his j dressing room. Jingle-1 >ells, the merry-making I swat fest preceded the preliminary I bout and put every one in good hu j inor. Then Ernest Lehman, the most i likely local wrestler of light weight, | warm welcome. He embraced Al. ! Giant, of Milton, wlio had sent word to the management that bis price | was $S a night and that he pays his | own expenses. Al. has a pretty fair I estimation of himself, the fans con- I eluded when Lehmer twice tloored | the Milton aspirant, first with head, ! scissors and full body lock and sec ! ondly with a full body, scissors and I arm. The forty-five minute period had ! passed when the Strangler decided it | was time to get busy. An intermis i sion of ten minutes was announced ! and so rapidly did Dr. Roller recover ! that he offered to return and wres l tie another bout, but the fans voted jas once tliat they had had their | money's worth so the one bout saw j the end of the most exciting wrest- I ling tourney ever staged here. ! championship tournament was | played at Pinehurst yesterday. A. J. I Mendes, of the Siwanoy Country I Club, who distinguished himself by j playing a 380-yard hole in 2 Mon- I day, won the qualifying medal with a total of 160 for the sixteen holes, 'and was followed by 161 by Edward | Styles, of the Washington Golf and North Hills Clubs, and James P.

Barrett has not only matched the wind-up with great care, but his other four bouts on the card he says will be worth seeing, l.ew Mutzell, who beat Young ltussell at the club's last show, and gained many fyiends, versus Kddie Loeckner. livery lightweight in this section has side stepped l.oeckner until Mutzell was approached and this bout will decide the lightweight championship of Central Pennsylva nia. They who saw Black Gunboat Smith win his last bout, requested Barrett to get a tough opponent for the deaf mute, which Barrett did by securing at extra expense, Bill Brown, the New York colored light weight, who is now making his home in Lancaster. The winner of this bout will meet Leo Johnson, the world's colored lightweight cham pion, in the near future. A better match between little fel lows could not be made than between Jackie Parks, Lancaster's represen tative in the featherweight class and Young Johnny Gill, York's best. So bitter is the rivalry between these two youngsters, that many of their i friend re coming over to see them ' have it out. The opening bout will ibe a slugging match between Pat O'Connor, of this city, and Jack i Jones, of Lancaster, two liglitheavy ! weights.

" i The box office, the true barometer of theatrical success, has put Its mark of highest approval on the Walter Hampden production of "Hamlet." which will be presented at the Orpheum Theater on Monday, April 7. There will be but one matinee and one evening performance. During the five months' engagement at. the Plymouth Theater, New York, the size of the audiences increased rapidly from a rather small be ginning until capacity houses were the rule. When Broadway thus greets Shakespeare it has to be something out of the ordinary. That is just what the Hampden production is. The won derful interpretation whieh Mr. Hampden and his company of distinguish ed artists give this play make it a drama ol' real life, alive and thrilling and reaching climaxes of great intensity. The production requires the services of forty people, and among the leading players are: Albert Pruning, Mabel Moore, Mary Hall, Ernest Rowan, J. Harry Irvine, Charles Webster and Allen Thomas. Scene From "The Man Hunter," at the Victoria The Victoria Theater announces that it will have another William Farnurn production to offer to-day and to morrow. The play is called "The Man Hunter," and was written for Mr. Far hum hy his director, Frank Lloyd, whose genius put on celluloid such photoplays as "!>>s Miserables," "A Tale of Two Cities," "When a Man See.-: Hod," "Riders of the Purple Sage" and "The Rainbow Trail." This photoplay hasscenes on land and sea. It Is a thriller and gives Mr. Farnum exceptional opportunity to show his fine dramatic nhilty. It is a ease from riches to poverty and buck to riches again, with many stir ring incidents in tiie decline and fall and the "comeback."
