JESS WILL. BEAT DE ROUEN
Westergaard ii Expected to Throw
the Eij Frenchman.
BORE, SKILLFUL AND AMBITIOUS

' Handicap froaa tW Bey of
Car Pare.
The general belief la that when Rounl de
Rouen, the big Frenchman, tacklea Jess
Wtstergaard at the Auditorium next Thurs
day night, he will go down tn Ignominious
defeat. Jeaa la nore at the big fellow, who
handled him so roughly In their handicap
wremle In Omaha a year ago, and this, con
liected - with Wewtergaard's superior skill
and overweening ambition' to aucceed Gotch
as the world's champion are being relied
n by Jits friends to carry him through to
Victory over De Rouen.
De Rouen, on the other hand, ha much
t stake, and as ha la naturally a 1 poor
loser will exert his last effort to win. He
knows and his crafty manager, Kennedy,
who has turned on more European false
alarms than any other man, knows thet If
Westargaard doe win Its good-bye to De
Rouen's elastic drawing powers. That's
Why De Rouen ducked a fair and square
finish catch-as-ratch-can match aa long m
they could. .
De Rouen recently lost a handicap to
John Pardello. lit Chicago. Pardello. a
much smaller man, was seen In Omaha
with Ootch last year.
Job a Has Dourtklng On.
Here Is what the Chicago Tribune said
of the Pardello-Pa Rouen match:
J-eo Pardello, the Italian champion, had
been thrown once by Raoul de Rouen, the
French giant, In their handicap bout at the
Chicago Athletle association last night.' It
was necessary for Pardello to stick for a
little lees than seven minute to win the
match, while It was up to De Rouen to
throw the Italian once more, In the same
period of time If he were to take the
money.- Pardello was taking a three min
utes' rest in one of the dressing rooms
downstair Matchmaker Joe Coffey looked
In on him. ,
"Say,.. Joe, Is Schuettler watching our
Watch T; panted Pardello.
"Yea, Leo, he's standing near the ring
and ikkiiig tn cvrry mavs," rp!d f!offev.
"Listen, Joe; go up and tell him I'll buy
him the beet hat he ever wore If he'll turn
his back for five minutes," returned the
Italian champ.
The proposition from Pardello, while he
could not have expected it to be carried
out, Indicated the feeling of the Italian
aurainst the Frenchman, and the latter re
turned It In full. The result was that the
match was fierce and fast, and but for the
warning agitinst roughness both men had
received from Chairman Latham of the
athletic committee, and emphaMieJ by As
sistant Chief Schuettler, their meeting
might have taken on the aspect of a finish
fight. As It was the spectators received
their money's worth.
De Rouen, who last season came under
the ban of the police on account of his
foul tactics, undertook to throw Pardello
twice In thirty minutes. He caught a Tar
tar, however, and lost the match, as he
pinned the Italian's shoulders to the carpet
only once during the period. Upon one or
two occasions the gigantic Frenchman lest
his head In his rage against h's antagonist
and was all but thrown himself.
The two men mixed It furiously from the
start and used every, trick they dared to In
an effort to win the match. Pardello
wrestled on the defensive rtnd braught ap
plause from the crowd by his fine exhibi
tions of bridging when a fall seemed in
evitable.. Time and again he wr1ggl?d and
twisted from underneath the Frenchman's
gigantic bulk .and each time he d.d so De
Rouen's anger rose. At lant, after twenty
three minutes and forty-s-ven seconds of
muscle racking work, Pardello succumbed
to a, fierce scissors and arm hold.

in Snowstorm
French Aviator. Makes Fifteen-Mile
Trip Over Denver and Its
Environs.
DENVER, Feb. . Louis Paulhan made
a fifteen-mile cross-country flight at Over
land park yesterday In a driving snowstorm.
Plowing through three Inchea of snow at
the start, Paulhan warmed up his engine
by a preliminary flight of eight miles. It
waa bitterly cold, but, after donning heavier
clothing, he again rose In the air. and,
swinging wide over the crowds on the
hills, above the track, disappeared In the
snow flurries over the western foothills.
Starting straight for the mountains, he
swung back In a wide clrcleover the fac
tories of South Denver, and, after a few
moments of fancy maneuvering above the
course, alighted within a few. feet of his
startlrg point. 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 built fires to -keep
t. arm. ' ' '
Paulhan was so stiff from cold after the
flitht that he had to be helped from the
machine.

Match Games Between Omaha and St.

SCOTT MAKES NEW HIGH RECORD
Crack Bowler of Mercantile l.eagae
Rolls 204 In One Game, with
Total of 6B for
Three.
The match games between the St. Joseph
and Omaha teams that were to be bowled
tha coming Saturday and Sunday have been
postponed until a week following, the St.
Joseph bowlers being 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 Stors Triumphs and the Meti Bros.
teams will tackle tha visitors first and then
picked teams from the various leagues will
have a tryout. ' The 8tor Triumphs are
now tn tha lead In the Omaha league. This
Is the first time In three years that the
Metx team has been out of the lead, at
this time of the season. The Mists team
has- bowled three lees game than the
Storx men. These will be bowled Friday
night, however, and It will be up to the
Mets five to win them all In order to still
maintain the leadership.
The Molony and Triumph match was
bowled against new pins last night, mak
ing scores of 2,736 and 8,871, 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 316
bowling ball, the proceeds of which will
go toward the fund to send their best to
the American Bowling Congress.
Scott's single game mark of 854 and his
total for three games of 658, seta a new
mark In the Mercantile league and places
him high man In the average column.
Art Metx will have to get busy with his
champions If he wants' the bowling pin
trophy to adorn his office desk. The Stors
crowd . Is surely pushing them to hard
work, it will be a pretty race from now to
the finish.

Beserve.
PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 8. Prosecutor
Francis J. Henry yesterday subjected for
mer Congressman Blnger Hermann, on
trial for alleged conspiracy to defraud the

cross-examination.
Hermann said that he never had known

Oregon. This fact, Hermann declared, had
not excited his suspicion In the Blue moun
tain case, nor did the fact that huge
frauds had been perpetrated In Michigan
and Wisconsin under the stone and timber
act cause more than a general suspicion
that men who would cheat once would
cheat again. "j
On one occasion Mr. Heney asked If the
reason Hermann said he had not read an
article In a Portland paper telling In detail
how frauds In school lands were perpe
trated waa to keep from admitting that he
did know there was such fraud, the de
fendant half rose from his seat, and, al
most shouting, answered that there was
not a word of truth In such a statement
"I don't like your Insinuations, Mr.
Heney," Hermann thundered. "You are
trying to Influence the Jury "
Hermann admitted that he did not Intro
duce a bill In congress to alter the timber
and stone act, under which he had declared
gigantic frauds were being committed. The
witness declared, however, that ha did try
to get tha lieu land law modified a pro
posed bill for this purpose having died In
committee. He attributed the death of the
measure to "Cannonlsm."
Mr. Heney read to the witness a letter
frcm Secretary Hitchcock to Hermann,
telling of repeated rumors of fraud. Mr.
Hitchcock wanted to know why the dis
coveries of fraud were being made by out
siders and not by officials whose duty It
was to guard the public Interest. Hermann
said that the fault, In a great measure, lay
with the special agents.
