IHE BEE JESS WILL BEAT DE ROUEN Westergaard is Expected to Throw BORE, SKILLFUL AND AMBITIOUS Chieago Trika Tells Interesting Story of How Pardello Won a Handicap from the Boy of Gay Paree. The general bellef is that when Roual de Rouen, the big Frenchman, tackles Jess Westergaard at the Auditorfum next Thurs- day night, he will go down in ignominious defeat. Jess is sore at the big fellow, who handled him so roughly in their handicap wrestle in Omaha & year ago, and this, con- nected - with Westergaard's superior skill and overweening ambition to succeed Gotch as the world's champion are being relled on by his friends to carry him through to| victory over De Rouen, De Rouen, on the other hand, has much st stake, and as he is naturally apoor toser will exert his last effort to win. He knows and his crafty manager, Kennedy, who has turned on more Buropean false alarms than any other man, knows that It Westergaard does win its good-bye to De Rouen's elastic drawing powers. That's why De Rouen ducked a fair and square finish catch-as-catch-can match as long as they could. De Rouen recently lost a handicap to John Pardello i Chicago. Pardello, a much smaller man, was seen In Omaha with Gotch last year. & Had Something O Here is what the Chicago Tribune said of the Pardello-De Rouen match: Teo Pardello, the Itallan champion, had been thrown once by Raoul de Rouen, the French giant, in their handicap bout at the Ohicago Athletie assoclation last night. It was necessary for Pardello to stick for a little less than seven minutes to win the match, while it was up to De Rouen to throw the Itallan once more.in the same perfod of time if he were to take the money. Pardelio was taking a th min- utes' rest In one of the dressing rooms downstairst Matchmaker Joe Coffey looked in on 3 is Schuettler watching our ited Pardello. 's_standing Rear the ring ilad Coffev.

Plowing through three inches of snow at the start, Paulhan warmed up his engine by a preliminary flight of eight miles. It was bitterly cold, but, after donning heavier clothing, he again rose in the alr, and, swinging wide over the crowds on the iils, above the track, disappeared In the snow flurries over the western foothills.

The snow settled thickly in the planes and the machine seemed to cause the aviator no inconvenience. Several thousand spectators tore down the fences about the track\and bullt fires to keep varm.

Crack Bowler of Mercantile Leag in One Game, with of 658 for Three, The mateh games between the St. Joseph and Omaha teams that were to be bowled the coming Saturday and Sunday have been postponed until a week following, the St. Joseph bowlers belng unable to complete arrangements so that all could be present. However, this disappointment will be off- set by the fact that Instead of one team, two teams will come and instead of but three games, six will be played. The Storz Triumphs and the Metz Bros, teams will tackle the visitors first and then picked teams from the various leagues will have a tryout. The Storz Triumphs are now in the lead In the Omaha league. This Metz team has been out of the lead, at this time of the season. The Metz team has' bowled three less games than the Storz men. These will be bowled Friday night, however, and ft will be up to the Metz five to win them all in order to still maintain the leldernh{p. The Molony and Triumph match was bowled against new pins last night, mak- Ing scores of 273% and 2,871, respectively. Had Zimmerman been able to get away from some of the bad splits he drew in the last game, a new single game mark would have been made. The Booster league is disposing of a $15 bowling ball, the proceeds of which will g0 toward the fund to send their best to the American Bowling Congres Sogtt's single game mark of 24 and his total for three games of 638, sets a new mark in the Mercantile league and places him high man in the average column.

He attributed the death of the measure to “Cannonism.” Mr. Heney read to the witness a letter frcm Secretary Hitehcock to Hermann, telling of repeated rumors of fraud.
