Jess Westergaard (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Wystan said:
    In the news in January, 1913: Jess Westergaard (also known as Jess Reimer) defeated Henry Ordemann in Minneapolis on January 7, 1913, and claimed the world's heavyweight wrestling title. A week later, he announced that he would become a boxer and defeat Jack Johnson for the heavyweight championship in that sport. (But of course, he never did.)
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Wystan: Thanks for the additional information on Mr. Westergaard. We will add to the record when we update.

Walter Miller (LOC)

    If this is with the horse show photographs, he was most likely Walter Miller, a jockey.

Zybsyko (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Joe said:
    Apparently this is Polish wrestler Stanislaus Zbyszko (1879?-1967), who is the subject of this page at the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame website.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    whyaduck: Thanks for helping us track down the correct name of man depicted in this photo. We'll change the source data and reload the description.
  • Joe said:
    After seeing this recently added photo, I'm wondering if maybe the photo above is not Stanislaus Zybszko, but his younger brother, Wladek. On the Internet, many photos identified as Stanislaus Zybszko show him wearing a moustache, while photos of Wladek invariably show him without facial hair.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    whyaduck: We believe the photo is of Stanislaus Zbyszko. Check the other picture of him at this link: www.wrestling-titles.com/personalities/zbyszko_stanislaus/
