CADILLAC FACTORY IS
TO BREAK ALL RECORDS

The Cadillac company has had some
very successful years in the past" said
Manager George REIN of the local agency,
but 1912 promises to eclipse all previous
records.
This has been apparent to us from
the very beginning OF the new seasons
business. Incorporating the innovation
Of electric starting, lighting and ignition
from the same source. and with past per-
formances so creditable to the car, we
felt as though the Cadillac presented new
and even more powerful arguments TO
the buying public.
How we'll we builded Is shown by the
figures OF November shipments. 1t is
well known that some automobile manu-
facturers expect shipments TO show a
falling off at the first breath OF winter,
Last month was one OF the severest Mo-
vembers We have experienced for some
years, Yet its unfavorable weather made
no impression on our shipments. The total
number OF cars that left the factory dur
ing the month was 1,1T5; while on Novem-
beT 2-the last working day OF the month
we sent away 1O6 cars
''Nineteen-twelVe looked like big year
when the 1912 business began; and we are
glad that November has confirmed our
judgment so completely"

FROMM THROWS SOLOMON
Wrestling Game Proves Drawing
Card at Harlan.
TWO MEN CLOSELY MATCHED
Match OrisiHAlIy Made Between
Mike Fromm and SOIOmOn-Pre-
liminariea Excite Large
Amount of Interest.

HARLAN, la, Dec. l6.-(Speclal THE
Nalrah club last night put on one of the
best bunch OF wrestling matches ever
held here before an audience OF over 95O
enthusiastic fans.
The main event, between Pete Fromm
Of Harlan. weight 165. and Jack A. Solo
mon OF Omaha, weight l52. was exceed
lngly fast, Fromm getting the first Fall
In nine minutes and seven seconds by a
double arm hold and scissor lock on the
head, and the second fall In seven minutes
with u Scissor lock on left arm and
straight arm hold on right arm. Fromm
however, was unable to break the power
ful bridges OF solomon.
This bout was originally arranged be
tween Mike Fromm and Solomon. but
owing to illness and upon the advice OF
his physician Mike Fromm was unable
TO participate. so Solomon agreed TO take
on Pete Fromm rather than dlsappoinl
the audience. although outweighed twelve
pounds.
The first preliminary went to John
North by getting a fall from Peter Claus,
sen W twentH-four minutes and six
seconds
The second preliminary between Ramey
and Norgaard OF Harlan went to Ramey
In straight falls OF four minutes and
fifty-five seconds and four minutes ant
twenty-seYen seconds, respectively. They
wrestled at 100 pounds.

whether tho present code is succcss
Lot the coaches try the rules Tor two or
three years more.
There are some rules however, thai
could be made now which undoubtedly
would better the game In many ways
They are suggested here:
]. Abolish the quarters Of the present
game and have two thirty-flve- minute
halves. Spectators find the game toe
short now. The quarters gain nothing
for the game or players.
O. Permit extra playing period after the
second half In case Of tie. This provision
would give a stronger eleven a much
fairer chance 10 prove its superiority,
Basket ball and base ball now have this
same rule. The ball could be placed in
play. after the lapse OF a minute. at the
spot where Il was the second half ended.
IL would stu remain with the eleven that
held Il when time was called.
8. Legalize the onsido kick and the for
ward pass over tho goal line, within a
distance ten yards back OF the goal. This
would force the defense to open up back
OF the twenty-five-yard line.
4 Abolish the present rule which legal
ICES field goal that touches the ground
before passing over the cross-bar
.. Permit any man back OF the line to
make the forward pass and onsde kick
no matter the position OF the backs. This
rule would make the kick and pass more
deceptive ana permit them to be made
right close to the line.
s Abolish the twenty-yard zone on
kicks, permitting the ends to block any
place beyond the line OF scrimmage.
Everybody would be onslde after the ball
hit the ground beyond the line OF scrim-
mage.
Z. Permit a player taken out OF the
game 10 be returned but once. This rule
would give the team IN superior physical
condition deserved advantage. Players
now do not suffer from physical exhaus-
tlon.
Any changes other than those outlined
here should not increase tho number Of
downs for making ten yards. There are
several minor alterations that could be
made. but to give. for instance, four
downs for making ten yards, would again
force more work upon the defense and
lessen the task Of the coaches in creating
a virile attack. Under the present rules
the game can be made a success, many
coaches believe. The tutors must work
harder with the rules they have and de-
wise new plays
The Carlisle Indians this fall had an at
tack that was successful. Coach Warner
labored diligently with the rules and ad-
vanced more rapidly than most OF the
coaches. He viii gain great deal next
fall with the rules as they are, and
should have just as successful an eleven
as he created this season.
When the rules committee meets In
New York during the holidays, many
changes will be advocated, but Il is Inn
probable that any radical revision will be
accepted. Most OF the changes will be
made with the Idea OF simplifying the
rules and making their Interpretation
easier. At present It is hard for many
20 understand the language in which the
rules are couched.

BRIDGE OWR TIT
PLATTE RZHzS.

ASHLAND, Neb., Dec. 1G-(Spccial) y
Just year from the time the project
was first broached. the handsome struc-
ture erected by the Ashland Platte River
Bridge company was thrown open today
for traffic with Karl V. Russell as
bridge tender This bridge affords the
most direct line connecting Omaha and
Lincoln. with through highway for
automobiles and all other vehicles. Bo-
cause OF the time Of year and other con-
ditions, the formal opening did not per-
NIT any elaborate ceremony such as the
directors and officers had planned. but
which they expect to execute with the
arrival OF warmer weather.
On December 20. 1910. at n mass meet
Ing OF Ashland citizens Il was decided TO
appoint a committee to solicit popular
subscriptions for the construction OF
bridge. The committee comprised Hugo
A. Wiggenhorn. president Fred B.
White secretary Morton l.. Mead. treas
urer, and Alexander Gaverty and James
ooodfellow. The first idea OF -. com.
mittee was TO construct a cheaper bridge
than was erected. steel pile structure
to cost $4,000, but meeting with a more
enthusiastic support than they anticipated
the committee decided to build an all
steel bridge and the articles OF incorpora
ton were adopted on March u, the lnoor-
porators being the original committee ap
pointed at the mass meeting. The CAPT
tai stock of the company Is $4,000, OF
which Si3,BO was subscribed In Ashland
iS,75O in Omaha, 5000 in Lincoln and $3.50
In sarpy county adjacent to Niela and
Gretna.
The meeting TO let the contract was
held May 8, and after spirited bidding,
at which six companies were represented,
the work was lot to the Omaha Struc-
tursl Steel works, the contract price be-
ing $1,000. The first work OF construc-
tion was begun about August /. being the
first bridge contract executed by the
company since the erection of their new
plant In Omaha. The bridge Is all steel,
the only wagon structure OF the kind
on the Platte river or In Nebraska. II
Is 9eO feet long, with six spans OF 1850
feet each In length. with roadway six
teen feet wide. The spans are set on CO.
inch steel tubes thirty and thirty-flve feet
long, with six oak pIling driven In each
tube, approximately twenty feet below the
bottom of the tubes, which are filled with
concrete. The bridge is ten feet above
the water level, which gives a substruc-
ture OF about forty feet in the bed df the
stream. The bridge Is provided with Ice
breaks designed by Ed. NJ. Flanagan of
the Omaha Structural steel works. The
superstructure Is OF the cord pattern,
the height of the cords being twenty
eight feet above the floor. The floor is

Great Work Expected
from Pitcher Wheatley

Jack Holland Of the st. Joseph West
ern league club is doping Wheatley as a
sure sensation with the Josies in 1912.
Last year Jack was coaching the kid
and putting the finishing touches on
what he claims is a phenom Wheatley
was seen IN but very few games last
year and was only used by Holland when
he had no one else 70 put on the mound.
Wheatley viii be remembered by most
OF the fans as the winner OF the long,
distance throw at the field meet held at
Lincoln last fall.
Pa Rourke and a few Of the Omaha
fans had occasion TO see Wheatley heave
a ball once last year. II was just prior
TO the last game with the Josies in
Omaha. Wheatley stood az the home
plate and taking but two steps. threw
the ball over centerfield fence.

Boxing Clubs Are
On Every Corner of
Old New Work City

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Pugillstic pro-
moters are giving a continuous show 10
boxing enthusiasts these days. No matter
on what corner of a city street one
stands, earmuffs only could shut out the
pugilistic conversation that Is carried on
by pedestrians and standees.
From one end OF the town to the other
boxing clubs have sprung up so quickly
that they could be termed conservatory
raised. Unless there are half dozen or
more glove encounters every night the
game wearies. IL the growth OF the clubs
continues TO be so prolific, as IL has been
during the last three months, there will
soon be as many clubs as dry goods
stores
But what matters It, a champion may
arise from the white ranks some day who
viii take the measure of Jack" Johnson
or sam" Langford, which would give the
white folks "a chance to 'rah! rah!"
The white hope" business, however,
seems to- be on the wane. A dozen or
more big fellows have been tried out, but
not one OF them proved even good sell
ing platter, Jack Johnson and Sam
LRngford have been left alone for some
| time. They have been conceded all hon
ors that can come to them. II is a Won
der some real high-elass heavyweight has
not shown up ere this Carl Morris tried
to earn reputation Sufficient to tackle
the big negro, but he failed. "Jim" Flynn
put II all over him, and this fact only
shows the superiority OF johnson and
Langford, as the latter has plastered
Flynn more than Nonce, hence the slim
chance Flynn would have against John
son.
] There are no boxers today that stand
out as they did twenty-five years ago,
when sullivan was I'm his prime. There
are no more Jack" MoAuliffes, Jack
Dempseys or George Dixons, and II will
be many years before there is another
! Bob Fltzslmmons. Compare those men
with the present-day article. After John
son and Langford are eliminated there Is
practically nothing, Where Il the middle
weight who could outlook Jack" Demp-
sey, the lightweight who could hold a
candle to Jack McAulifte or the feather
weight who would have a living chance
with George Dixon when he was az his
best2
Yet there should be as good men coming
along, for there seems TO be hundreds In
the game. Only one appears to claim any
decided recognition. Mike" Gibbons
There Is practically the newest man in
the pugilistic world. who bids fair to be
introduced as a real champion In the Ia.
ture. While only a weltevweight. he Is
considering an dim at the middlewelghl
target.
Frank klaus will be the next man Glib.
bons WILL tackle. Klaus is some boxer
IL Gibbons should defeat Klaus there will
be little left for him TO do. Il will be
interesting TO watch the progress OF thi,
young man from 81. Paul. Al present
there Is no pugilistie idol 1t may be Glib,
bons will Justify his claim TO the honol
