WREsTLERs IN BURLESQuE BOUTS
GATHER But $4,000 FOR BENEFIT
Small Crowd Turns Out to See Champions Grapple With
Men Not Their Equals.

The prima donnas of the wrestling

men of the profession, wrestled away
nearly four hours at Dexter Park pa

their labors was something like $4,000
for deserving charity. The officials of
the Chicago Athletic association. which
managed the affair. were unable to
state the exact amount of the receipts,
but the amount given out above
given as a fair estimate.
The card, which was the longest
thing of the sort ever offered the in
dulgent Chicago fans. brought forth
every champion in captivity except the
Esquimo title holder, who was said to
be at large in the vicinity of Elsemeres
land. The performers for charity bur
lesqued the sport from start to finish.
and enough new wrestling was seen to
furnish material for library devoted
to the mat game.
The card showed conclusively that
Chicago fans, much as they like to see
champions, want them pitted against
men somewhere near their equals or
else kept in the background. No bet
ter proof of this could be desired when
Gotch Hackenschmidt and Mahmout
drew less than 5000 people.
In the main bouts Champion Gotch
threw Frank Erler in seven minutes
and fifty seconds. George Hacken-
schmidt tossed Adolpk Ernst and Yus-

Big Racing Cars to
Exhibit on Track
of the Speedway
De Dietrich Car to Be Driven by
Otto Nestman for Track
Record.

Otto p. Nestman, probably the best auto
racer In Omaha, will drive the De Dietrich
car owned by c. w. Gamer of Chicago,
against time on the Omaha speedway track
at the big race carnival here June to Il
The car is of 2o0-horsepower and consid-
cred capable Of making a worlds record.
Although there will be racers here with
cars big and powerful enough to race with
even chance against the big De Dietrich,
the cars used by modern racers are 80 big
that IL would be far too dangerous to try
to race them on the mile track of the
Omaha speedway. However, the sight of
the big machine speeding against time to
set a record for the Omaha track win be
one 10 thrill the spectators.
The Omaha track is still q new one and
up to date there have been no records OF
any moment made. In one OF the races
last year a time OF 1:06 was made, but
with this big facer or with other racers
coming the time will be something under
the minute mark. That all Omaha may
see the big car when 1t comes, Manager
Eugene Silver has made arrangements
that when not In use it will be placed in
his garage. the Velis company, at Nine
teenth and Fsrnam streets.
Otto Nestman has raced hundreds OF
races In the east and was q professional
racer before coming to this city. He made
a record OF 80 at Alma Beach in 1903, which
was a worlds record for a short time. Al
that time he was driving a Stevens-Duryea,
but later drove the big Renault racer
BLACK Death" one OF his famous drives
being over the Readville track.
Other preparations for the big races
are coming along well and Manager Silver
will begin to receive entries after the mid
die OF May. AT the Speedway the cas-
turn is being rebuilt and already nine
foot bank OF rough earth has been built
up. With the topping put on there will no
be better turn in the country than the
one on the Omaha course.

AMEs. Ia, April 29.-(special Telegram.)
in the dual meet this evening Nebraska
defeated AVes by the Overwhelming score
Of 81 to 80.
The Nebraska man starred at every stage
of the game and in the half-mile the 40
yard dash, the discus. the quarter-nile,
pole vault and half-mlle relay came peril
ously near the Missouri valley records.
Considering that the track was ex-
tremely heavy, this places Nebraska in the
running for Missouri valley records this
spring.
Reed in the dashes Collins in the
weights and Anderson In the half and
mile. each garnered ten points.
The hurdles were slow, Russell winning
in the highs beating Walker in the last
few yards and McIclyea winning the lows
in spite of losing his stride frequently
| Collins won an easy first in the shotput,
but in the discus was closely pushed by
Vincent who threw the discus farther
than is his custom.
Reed in spite of the wet track, tore Oft
the 200 in almost record time, Christmas
beating Keeney for second in the last few
yards. Keeney is suffering from a dis
placed muscle in his thigh and was not in
| form.
Clutter was out of the race with the
mumps, likewise Hyzer could not enter the
! pole vault nor low hurdles on account of
| the mumps.
In the mile run It looked like Dyer until
the scratch was reached. and then Ander-
son passed him up, Captain Cockerel taking
second
In the two-mile run Scott led from the
start and finished thirty yards to the good.
Bates was close until the 200-yards
Bristol failed to reach his mark of
twenty-one feet five inches in the broad
jump and allowed Lindstrum to take first.
The half-mile relay was close until the
third lap when Powers broke away for
long lead
The mile relay was a walkaway for ne
braska, Watson putting In substitutes IN
place of Crawford and Brown.
MacCormick ran a good race fifty yards
behind Reed and held his own.

H. H. FRANKLIN IN OMAHA
Factory Head Visits Guy l.. Smith
Tuesday and Wednesday of
Past Week.

H. H. Franklin, president OF the Frank
lin Automobile company OF Syracuse, N.
Y, spent Tuesday and Wednesday of the
last week with Guy l. Smith. his Nebraska
representative.
This is Mr.. Franklin's first stop in
Omaha and he expressed himself as being
very much surprised and pleased at the
wonderful business activity TO be seen on
all sides, both in the wholesale and retail
districts, as ne did not before fully realize
what q business center Omaha was. He
also complimented Automobile row on It's
good appearance, most OF the dealers hav-
ing their cars displayed in an attractive
manner.
When asked If there was. in his mind,
any truth in the idea held by some that
the automobile would ultimately follow the
bicycle. Mr.. Franklin stated very EN-
phatically It was his belief that the au-
tomobile will not lose in popularity. but
will continue to remain in demand and
will be even more popular than II is at
the present time It's utility purposes are
without end" said Mr.. Franklin. ut is
an established necessity and always will
be. 1t is not losing and never will lose
its popularity. II cannot be dispensed with
any more than the telephone. Even II II
we're for pleasure only, like the piano, It's
popularity would never diminish. as It has
a great advantage in its utility. Its place
in the affairs or life is certain. It's utility
will broaden"

MANY CARS THIS YEAR
Predicted that Nearly Two Hundred
Thousand VIII he Made an
This Country,

Predictions regarding the prospects for
spring automobile business have been
heard on all sides. Some prophets outside
the industry bAve seen calamity ahead for
the motor industry. On the other hand.
the leading men OF the Industry, like
Charles Clifton, Hugh Chalmers, Alfred l..
Reeves Benjamin F. Briscoe and others,
have predicted that the United States will
absorb from 10000 TO 10000 motor cars
this year
The latter predictions now seem more
likely than those of calamity to be full
filled. There is already an indication that
there will be shortage OF good automobiles
before spring is over.
1t is reported by the Chalmers Motor
company that business is better this sea-
son than IL was in the same months last
season. This factory is working full force
and overtime to meet the shipping order
schedules, Orders have been coming in
since January l at an average of thirty
eight day. Quite recently this number
has gone up by leaps and bounds. Take
just the last three days In February. for
example. February Is the Chalmers COM
pany received seventy-seven orders. On
the 9th 100 cars were ordered. The next
day saw 12S orders in. And all of these
are for immediate shipment. Though not
coming so rapidly as yet, orders for May
and June delivery are plentiful.
