Ootch beat htm twice. Buraa ha never met htm. Beell Is cna of the prodlgiea of wreetlrng and Bu.na Is another. Tha clash of two prodigies la expected ta produce soma phe nomenal work on the. mat. Here is a com parison of tha two-men by figure: Burn. Age 47. Beell. Age IX Weight 11 Height 6:04. Cheat 44 Inches. Waiat M. Iflps 40. Thigb 14. weigh- IT. Height 6:10. Chest 40 Inches. Waist 12.

It will ba seen that Beell, though much shorter, la larger In other ways and Ootch say superior height la always a doubtful advantage. Beell was brought out by Evan (Strangler) Lewis, who. when ha turned him upon tha mat, pronounced the champion, better than Burn or McLeod. Ootch was not then In hi heydey. Lewis, who waa later thrown himself by Burn after trying for three hour to atrangl the Farmer, always believed Beell the com ing champion. Beell la quiet and very pop ular with all wrestler. On of hla greatest achlevementa waa tha defeat of Tom Jeu kins, former champion, who weighed 200 against Beell's 10 then. Grow Oat of Jealoaay. That waa a private match," aaid Burns, "and one of tha beat I ever aaw. It waa pulled off In New York by a crowd of wrestlers and grew out of jealousy. Pol lack backed Jenkins and Harvey Parker Been, me purs waa xi.uw. tieeii won in two hours and forty-two minute. "He's aa awful nice tittle fellow and a great wrestler. He may throw me, but I hope to win; I am especially anxtoue to win, hut if ha win I will not feel badly. H I a clean and good man. "I tell you the truth, I am beginning; to feel my age. I am now past 47 and I lack the ambition of my former years. It used to be that when I entered the ring I said to myself, 'My, here my chance for a good tuasla; let me at htm.' Now when I get on the mat I say to myself, "Oh, I have an hour or two of hard work which I wish was over.' I uaed to get out and run over tha hill and like It. Now when I start up a htll I look to the top and say, "There's that big hill I've got to climb.' But I'm not all In yet. Of course I have got to gwt beat sooner or later, but 111 do my best to the end. I have been wrestling for thirty-nine years, ever alnce I was I years old, and nave met 1,000 wrestlers." The old man has gone to Belleville. Kan., to wrestle Oscar Wasem and will be back In Omaha Saturday and remain until hi meeting with Beell Tuesday night at tha Auditorium. - Beell fa Flaw Farm. Freddie Beell grot m town Thursday morning and Is In the pink of condition for hi match Tuesday night. He meets War Eagle at Council Bluff Saturday night and Oscar Wasem at Lincoln Mon day night. Oscar Wasem, with Burn st him in Belleville, Kan., Friday night and Beell Monday night, I between the upper and nether grindstones for fair. 'I have never met Bum on the mat, but I know what a wonderful wrestler he Is, aid Beell, the silent. "He Is a thorough gentleman, as well a a marvelous wrest ler. I anticipate one of tha most difficult task of my life. Hoping, of tonne, to win. I am not overconfident, for there never la any telling what Fanner Burns 1 liable to do." Beell ha recently been doing a great deal of shooting In hla home state of Wis consin. He la a great hunter. Emll Klank I doing the managerial part of BeeU'a engagement In Omaha. I surety think Ootch ha a fin chance of throwing Hackenechmldt.' said Beell. "All he haa to do I to get behind the Rus sian and he'll get him. Hack 1 a great man, but he knowa less of catch-ae-catch can than he does of Grseoo-Roman. "I have never thought so much of Hack sine h refused to meet me the last time he was over her. I offered to wrestle him for a side bet and the receipt and he balked. Of course, he may throw Ootch but It will be a surprise to me If he does. And I think moat Americans aa well as foreigners, who bsve met or seen both men wrestle, take the Ootch end of It," CH1EFE1 DEFEATS HOPPE Bay Bllllardlat Take Lead aad Mala. talaa It Vattl Sixteenth IaaUg.

Holland of Bloomington waa tonight re-elected presi dent of the Thre-I Baa Ball league for laa, after a long contest that threatened to dtrupt th organisation. The matter of the Dubuque franchise, which was earlier decided forfeited, then reinstated, and again nullified, contributed to the misunderstand ings among the club owner. At midnight Clinton, Cedar Rapids and Rock Island had been declared out of the league by their representative, who left the meet ing and for a long time refused to take further part In the proceedlnga. Whether th election of Mr. Holland or th status of the Dubuque matter had caused this split could not b learned, th disgruntled club owner refusing to discuHs their grievances, while no word came from the room In which the other members of the league were continuing their atormy ea alon. Holland was chosen executive of the league only after roor than a score of ballots had been taken. After nineteen bal lots Holland had three votea. Sexton of Rock Island three and Fox of Peoria one. When Holland waa finally declared elected only four cluba were voting. No effort to adopt a achedule had been made when th meeting adjourned. One had been pie pared, but the uncertainty of the Dubuque franchise and th disaffection of the other three club left It va'uelesa. Efforts to prevent a permanent disruption will be continued tomorrow. WITH TMB BOWLEH9. - Games In he two-men tournament at the Association alleys last nlgbt. Scores: 1st. 2d. Sd. Total.
