IN THE ROPED ARENAIn noting the match between Toung Wolcott, colored, and Ole Olson, the terrible Swede of LaPorte, which will be pulled off at the Armory, May 31, The Dispatch Bays:- The bout is limited to ten rounds, and the men will box at 136 pounds. There is a .strong similarity in the physical pro-' portions of the two men, and they . ought to make an interesting go. Wol-Icott has a long string of victories to :his credit, and his record is a guar-| antee that he will give Olson an argu-' ment. Arrangements are practically made for the semi-windup between (Kid Frehse of Michigan City and Robert Grant of Benton Harbor. This ! is scheduled for ten rounds. There will be fewer preliminaries in the forthcoming show than heretofore, as the public cares little for the novices, and a couple of good ten-round bouts between speedy men will more than offset a long string of short preliminaries. Olson and Wolcott will box for a purse and a side bet of $100. Each has posted a forfeit for weight and appearance in the ring. Olson’s record as a boxer is well known, as he has fought the best featherweights [ and lightweights in the country. 1 Wolcott is a promising young boxer, who has fought nearly 50 battles and j has never been knocked out. He ■ has scored 20 knockouts, won 11 decisions, fought nine draws and lost four times on points. Some of his principal battles were against the following: “Dutch” Nlel, eightrounds, draw; Harry Clifford, six rounds, knockout; Harry Pigeon, six rounds, draw; Jack Welsh, 15 rounds, knockout; bested Mike Donavon, 15 rounds; Young Grlffo, ten rounds, draw; Adam Ryan, six rounds, draw; lost on points to Kid Ashe in 20rounds.
