CAzEAU TO MEET
zBYSzkO TONIGHT
Much Interest Shown in
Finish Bout Between
Mat Stars.

Stanislaus Zbyszko. the giant Pole.
who has laid claim to the worlds
heavyweight wrestling championship
since Frank Gotch went into retire
ment, makes his second appearance of
the season in Chicago tonight. meeting
Raymond Cazeau, the rough Italian. at
the Globe theater in a finish match,
best two out of three falls.
Much interest attaches to tonight's
riots in bouts in which he has engaged,
and there Is great curiosity as to what
he will do against man of Zbyszkos
size and strength.
Zbyszko's appearance in Chicago is
always the signal for a large outpour-
ing of the Polish population.
The Pole has wholesome respect
for the Canadian lumberjack They
wrestled an hour and q half at Mon
treal last year and Zbyszko was un-
able to obtain a fall.
In his last bout here Zbyszko showed
more aggressiveness than at any pre-
vious time. and some claim he is the
equal of Frank Gotch. Besides the
heavyweight bout. three lesser bouts
will be put on as preliminary to the
main event, all to a finish. One of the
most interesting is between War Eagle
and Young Samson. a pair of feather.
weights. who put up a terrific battle al
the last show. Bouts between Joe Ow-
ems and George Bretz and Joe Geshtout
and George Schilling round up the card

INDOOR
SPORTS ARE
POPULAR

since basket ball. indoor baseball and
roller polo have been tossed into the
discard by Hammond athletes and
amusement seekers. their stead has
been taken in bowling, pool and bill
lizards and 1t is evident that the popu-
lar indoor sports are here to stay.
Never before has so much interest been
taken In the above pastimes. and all
billiard halls and bowling alleys report
a fourishing business
In order to keep the interest alive
owners of the various billiard halls and
bowling alleys are preparing for spe-
cial features such as billiard, pool and
bowling tournaments, the winners to
receive valuable prizes. Arrangements
are now being made for three cush-
ion billiard and pool tournament and
already some of the best GUESTS in
Hammond have acknowledged their in
tention of entering. An interesting
pool tournament is now in progress at
one of the parlors and the weekly
prizes are bringing in a large number
of entries.
There Is now a question among the
Hammond GUESTS as to who is the most
expert pool and billiard player in the
city. There are many clever men, of
whom are Towle, Slingsby, Clabby,
Snyder, Love and futile.
Bowling is also taking an active
part in the winters sport and with the
Hammond city tournament and rag
time contests in progress, the various
pinmen are in high pitch of excite
ment. One of the most interesting
bowling matches that has been staged
in Hammond in many moons will start
at Towle & McCoofs alleys next Mon
day night when Nelson and jacques
will roll for 500 side bet. A total of
twenty games are scheduled to be
rolled. ten the first Monday and on the
following Monday the remainder will
be rolled at Cox's alleys.

all about this and are not worrying, so
Bonehead Barry may CLEAN from the
facts above mentioned that favorable
decision is anticipated.
1t seems that the state officials in
wisconsin are for clean boxing shows
But Kenosha.s mayor wants to be
shown. and so they are going to show
him. Gloves are flying in many of the
Badger towns this winter. notably Mil
waukee Fond du Lac, Madison, the
state capital, Superior. Racine and
other places. But Kenosha is the first
spot where they have concluded to take
a chance in the courts. A boxing bill
legalizing ten-round encounters with
fve-ounce gloves already is up in the
Wisconsin state legislature and will
be voted on soon. But Mayor Head OF
Kenosha says he is not going to wait
even if the state officials are willing tr
let the glovemen go along as hereto
