Following the suggestion of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
of Devils Lake, Mayor P. j. McClory
instructed the chief of police to call
off the wrestling match between Mrs.
AL Powers of Grand Forks and Mrs.
Ed. Hanson of Cooperstown, which
was advertised as preliminary to the
Jahns-Lewis match at the Grand opera
house Tuesday night. i
Previous to the action of the mayor,
however, Cowley & Nimmo,: of the
Grand, announced that they would not
permit the match to go on and inform
ed the promoters of the show that this
feature of the entertainment would
have to be done away with. The op-
era house management declared that
it had not been permitted TO see the
advertising for the match before it was
distributed, as required, and had 1t
known that female bout was to be
staged, the house would not have been
rented for the contest. -:

branches of sport than football. He is
one of the star performers on the
Flickertail track team and has been
actively interested in all branches of
athletics since his advent from Lang
don three years ago.
The new captain is a junior mining
engineer. He was one of the shining
lights in athletics at the Langdon
high school and started right in at
the game as soon as he entered the
university. He was one of the strong
est men on the line last year and
more than made good this year.
The choice has been generally com.
mended by the student body and with

case when the local shows come
along that tendencies toward certain
features of construction that were
new a year or two ago, have become
pronounced.
For instance, two years ago at the
New York shows some OF the makers
displayed the forerunner of the pres
ent foredoor touring car; a year ago
all were showing bodies of this type.
Similarly in Europe the makers are
gradually becoming a unit in their
opinion of certain features of con-
struction or design.

EUROPE HAS FEW
1912 NOVELTIES

Both the Berlin and London shows
have passed into automobile history.
These are the two big exhibitions of
the current year in Europe, and the
concensus of expert opinion appears
to be that neither succeeded in dis
closing anything in the line of radi-
cal novelty.
Mechanically, at least, the cars to
be offered by Continental and English
manufacturers for the season of 1912
present nothing sensational, and the
public found Of greatest interest the
body designs, some of which are start
ling. 1t was the case in the German
and British cities, as it will be tn.

JAHNS FLOPS
FRANK LEWIS
FARMER HAS EASY TIME WITH
PHYSICAL DIRECTOR AND
TAKES TWO STRAIGHT
FALLS.
(By Vic Boyer)

In one Of the best mat exhibitions
ever pulled off in Devils Lake, Farm
|er Jahns, champion of Southern Min
nesota, Tuesday night, easily outclass-
ed his lighter opponent, Frank Lewis,
la physical director of considerable
note, who is touring the Northwest.
The principals took their corners at
the Grand opera house, at 1920
O'Clock and were introduced to a good
sized audience, by Al Powers of Grand
Forks, who acted as referee.
Both contestants were apparently
out for blood and went after each 9TH
er right off the reel
Lewis was considerably lighter than
Jahns, and was on the defensive four
fifths of the time. Jahns worked with
apparent ease throughout the contest
After thirteen and half minutes of
excellent wrestling, Jahns secured the
first fall with scissors around the
arm and body hold. The second fall
also went to the farmer at the end of
fifteen and half minutes of even
more interesting work. The second
fall was secured through a body hold
and leg around the head.
Credit must be given Lewis for the
game and scientific fight he put up
against his bigger and heavier oppon-
ent.
Many fans remarked that they
would like to see Lewis in match
with a man Of his pounds and that
they would be willing to wager odds
on his winning. ., -.
At the conclusion of the contest, Re
fierce Powers read challenge from
Tom Bdlin, to the winner of Tuesday
nights 80. .....,..-- ~

lent when decency is SO fla
GRAVITY outraged by glazing
advertisements of woman's
wrestling match to be held at
the opera house proper, immed-
lately following the vaudeville
performance, when women and
children will be interested spec
tators,' as was announced in
} one of our dailies yesterday.
I'VE therefore protest against
this outrage upon civilized pro-
} priety, and most emphatically
} condemn such exhibitions and
} their promoters as enemies to
the purity of our homes, the
) decency of womanhood and the
} good name Of our city.
"The unqualified suggestion
} that the women of this city are
} making reservations in advance
} for this wrestling exhibition is
} an insult demanding an apollo
} gy." -.
