REFEREE TALKS OF THE BIGJSRESTLE Ed Smith Writes Entertainingly of the Interest in the Cutler Stecher Affair. PBINCIPALS TRAINING HARD By F.T W. SMITH. (Referee of the Btecher-Cutler Match.)' CHICAGO, June 2.-If np t" the wrestler now to make Oene Melady's big Omaha circus the success It desrrves to bo. From all appearances at this rd of the line Omaha's astonishingly (tool pro moter ha done everything possible to boom the match, and all that remains rcw Is for Joe Stecher and Charley Cut ler to deliver on the evening of July 6 at Pourke park. That they will I haven't the slightest dov.bt I ve never seen Rtecher In or out of action, but tt Is essy to opine firm a ,mere glance at his amaxlng record that Lhg, la a man who always will deliver, Hv nether ne continues nis winning piress In this contest or should happen to be do feted. Cutler haa a trick of delivering when least expected to do so. Note what he did In Chicago to the much-touted Fris tensky, who Was 'expected to ea: him alive. Fecause I have never seen Stecher in action I cannot express an oplnlo.i and wouldn't anyway, because of my o'firlal connection with the match. All I am looking and hoping for in this battle 1. that the'people who are pnylng irand opora prices to see every foot of the struggle get a run for their coin, and 1 11 be there to see that, as far as It is possible to do so, everything Is conducted In a straightforward, honest and thor oughly sportsmanlike manner. Match oa tha Sqaare. The honesty of the match Is not to be doubted, otherwise I could afford . to have nothing to do with It- Tha referee has as much of a reputation to protect In an 'Important affair of this kind as tho principals. Inasmuch a I expeot to re main In the sporting game for a long time, I am not looking for any smirches on my character. "That It will be a fair match In every way I haven't any doubt. I have gone to soma pain to Inquire Into Ste-her' wrestling system and J, find that he Is clean and above board" in everything ne does. There Is nothing foul about his work,- and a Cutler I pretty much the seme sort of a workman In the ring there teed be no anxiety on that score. We will have a thorough undestandtng before wa start work on Just what wilt be permitted. You see, the article of agreement do not even mention what rule the .contest will . be decided under. Bat there need b no anxiety over this. All that need to be dona I to find out Just what tha promoter and the contest ant want to do about certain points that are apt to come up. Once a verbal agreement is reached, tben ail will be ready for tha call of time. . CaUer Works Hard. , r. I saw Ctitler work out in his private gymnasium tha other morning end he surely seemed to be fit to do battle In tha match of hi life, as this is apt to be. Cutler wasn't ready the day I saw him, but with more than a week's tlrpe ba then hadten days, to be axnet he will ba In great condition. I. never saw him looking better or more confident. Ho. worked with Ed Lewis, Earl Cad dock, . Charley Challender. the conduc tor, and Joe Oeshtout, the morning I watched him. He gave each of them about twelve minutes of regular, straight wrestling. A I understand' It they do mucbof their "Inside" work strictly- In private. Tola, I waa told, consisted or steady practice at breaking the body aclssor. It Is. the defense for this lock that Cutler has been working on for three week now, and be secretly sdmlts that b believe b baa . perfected one that will nsora. than merit the require- menta of tha match. , Hur Help Htm. Train. That Stecher has thrown a tremendous scare Into tha Cutlor people is appar ent. Charley never trained before as he ha trained for this battle. Note tha high prloed staff of helpers be lias aur roundod himself with and you can easily sea .that tha Michigan giant Isn't guess ing that he la going to have ant snap In thla affair. . . Cutler will enter, tha ring, ha thinks. weighing 226 pounds. This all depends on the weather he enoountera for the next week and after he get to Omaha. If It 1 hot he will reduce more than ht will If tha weather remains cool. Tha big roan Is frea to admit that he Intends to make a apsblng match of it from tha Jump. He hopes In this way to fonfuaa 6tchr and keep him on the de fensive aa much, a possible. This surely mean a hot match right off tha reel. . Jt' hope, It will be all of that and that it Is decided strictly on its merits snd without accident Terps and Terriers Divide Double-Header BALTIMORE.
