FALLS 40 FEET OUT OF
WINDOW, Is UNHURT
Unknown Man on Tour of InveStiga-
ton at New Church Has
Narrow Escape.

For man TO fall 40 feet out of
a window, land in a sitting posture
upon hard earth. and get up and
walk away before anyone could get
to him to find out his injuries, is an
adventure that il is hard to recon
ellie ones mind TO.
Nevertheless, that is what happen
ed to an unknown man who was
making a tour OF investigation through
the new Methodist church on S. Main
st. Tuesday morning.
The man had climbed a tall ladder
in the tower Of the church. which
was leaning against movable pillar.
When he was close to the top the
pillar turned and when the ladder fell
ii sent the man hurting through one
of the windows. He landed in the
manner described, hastily jumped To
his feet, carefully busting his trousers
while he examined them to learn the
extent of the damage done TO them,
and walked away before even his
name could be learned.

BIC WRESTLERS
READY FOR GONG
MartinSOn and ZbySzko Will
Try For Supremacy Once
More-PoIe Won in Former
Match.

After two weeks of careful training,
Paul MartinsOn. the giant Chicago
Dane who is to clash with young
Wladek ZbyszkO at the Polish Turner
hall Thursday night, is said TO be in
perfect condition. He has succeeded
in getting rid of the SuperfluoUS flesh
with which he has been encountered
in recent matches and says he is in the
best condition he ever attained. If he
is defeated bv the young European
champion he will not be able to offer
the excuse of being out of shape.
Some time ago the two giants clash
ed in contest in Detroit and after a
hard fought battle the Pole won. But
the Dane demanded another chance,
claiming ne had been given the match
on short notice and was unable to do
his best owing to the fact that he was
not able on account of the ShOrtnesS
OF time to properly prepare himself
for the contest. He said, however, that
time to train, and the second match
was arranged. The contest will be
fought in Greco-Roman style and one
or the other of the contestants must
obtain two falls in order to be declar-
ed the winner. One stipulation in the
agreement is that the match must go
to a finish, regardless of the time it
may consume. This proviso assures
the fans the best wrestling match ever
staged in South Bend.

ATLANTIC CITY. April S.-The
National Bowling association. which
opens its championship tournament
here tonight is looking forward 10 one
OF the finest series of contests which

This will he the eighth annual ,sur-
nament which the association has
held. The first tournament was
awarded the Philadelphia Bowling
association, which staged the big con
test IN Atlantic City.
The first six contests were held on
newly constructed alleys. but the
financial burden thus incurred proved
10 be too great and after the Pater-
son. y. J.. tournament two years ago
IL was decided that in the future tile
association would roll the tourney on
Teplaned alleys. Last years tourna-
ment at Rochester was rolled on re-
planed alleys and proved TO be sue
cessful This year II alleys in Co
lumbla rail- have been re-planed and
put into first class condition. EX-
perts, who have examined the alleys.
declare they are excellent: the wood
Is so well matched that the Jennings
can scarcely be detected and all rutS
have been eliminated. A new scheme
of lighting, by which overhead wires
have been done away with. giving the
spectators an unObstructed view Il
the alleys, has been installed
Three OF the II alleys will be used
for practice. There will be no com
municatiOn between the official ScoT-
ers and the bowlers, nor between the
public, the scorers and the bowlers
Special stands have been erected for
spectators and the alleys have been
fenced off, thus insuring a clear space
for the bowlers without interference
from the spectators.
Plans for the tournament were un-
der the direction Of Major NJ. W.

and Elmer T.. DUNCAN, president.

vention. viii present a petition 10

KELLY MAY TW|RL
AGAINST BADGERS
Harper Works Men Hard For

I'VE would have practiced if it had

ment on baseball conditions at Notre
Dame yesterday. In spite of a biting
cold wind. that was anything but help
full 70 good baseball, the varsity coach
gave his players a long workout in
preparation for the Wisconsin game
tomorrow. The Badgers were original
ly scheduled to play here or the 10th
but the NOtre Dame faculty would not
permit the playing of the game on
Good Friday. SO the Wisconsin men
agreed to come a day earlier.
TOmOrrOw's game will be the first
for both teams According TO reports
from Madison. the Badgers will be
represented by q strong team this year
and Notre Dame will have TO play
Thursdays tilt The locals have been
seriously handicapped by inclement
weather during the last two weeks.
which fact is liable TO affect their
playing in their first game.
Harper is still at sea as 10 the line
up he will use in the Wisconsin game.
The nine that will represent Notre
Dame will not be picked till the team
takes the field against the visitors. AL
gymnasium three weeks ago, the men
have not received enough real work
outdoors TO enable Harper to finally
decide on his regular lineup. Captain
Kelly Will undoubtedly pitch against
Wisconsin. This is Kelly's third year
with the varsity and the veteran can
be depended upon TO work as well in
the beginning of the season as at the
end
The varsity nine is determined to
get away To a flying start by beating
the Badgers. and although they have
been hindered in practice by the bad
weather the locals are confident OF
winning. This game will stand as a
basis of comparison for NOtre Dame
and the conference teams and for this
reason the gold and blue. is anxious
TO come out on top. Harper gave
both infielders and outfielders a good
workout yesterday and then sent the
men through a long batting practice.

The infielders scampered around the

Pitchers Timber Up.

fine left handed pitching motion,
seemed 10 be in good shape physically
and put enough on the ball to give the
batters practice. His control was ex-
cellent throughout his stay on the hill.
When Manager Smith thought his
sOuthpaw had had enough he sent
George Moore to the mound. Moore is
local product and is picked as about
the classiest of the factory leaguerS.
He is expected 10 show we'll and il
would be surprising to see him fail 10

Two Other Pitchers.
Murphy. the Indianapolis recruit,

Bauerlein and I.andick did the re-

Both are hard workers and showed a
desire 10 jump in and to give the team
all there was in them.
Show. Form ut the Bat.
Various members of the club show

nors, a local product, clouted the ball
like Il Speaker or Jackson and field

Only once did COnnors loose a fly and
that was "A long hard drive which sent

he has some batting faults ne showed

pupil
List of Recruits.
