Parr to Meet Burns.
Jimmy Parr. champion wrestler OF Eng
land, will meet Farmer Burns at the
Auditorium Tuesday night and for those
sports who were saying Wednesday night
they would like to see Burns matched with
! man who was nearer his equal, here is
their chance. Parr is one of the top
notchers in the business and ranks along
In the second class just a trihe below
Hackenschmidt and Gotten. He is the only
man who has met both HackenschmIdt
and Gotch. The wrestling game has taken
| a firm hold on the Omaha public and all
| are keyed up now TO see the top notchers
strive for supremacy. Over 1000 people
turned out Wednesday night which was
one Of the worst nights in the year because
OF the heavy cold, drizslng rain. and
hundreds were kept away by the in
| clement weather. No doubt the big struc-
ture will be taxed to accommodate those
who wish TO go Tuesday night 10 see Parr
and Burns. These matches are attracting
large numbers from the state and wednes-
day night there were twenty-one lovers
of the game who came from Tekamah espe-
cially TO witness the match. Nor were
they at all disappointed, for none could
say Farmer Burns did not nave his hands
full to put Wasem to the mat While
not strong enough to put the Farmer al
any disadvantage, still he was strong and
fast enough to make II a task for the
Farmer to- throw him.
