De Rouen has been in this country
about a month. He is 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 230 pounds. De Rouen is a Graeco-Roman wrestler only, but gives his opponents leave to use any style of hold.
Last Sunday night while wrestling Anderson, a local man, de Rouen was so rough in his tactics the audience hooted. The Frenchman threw Anderson in eleven minutes, having agreed to forfeit $50 if he could not secure a fall within fifteen minutes.
