Of Joe Stechcr. the Nebraska wres-
Tier. In his first professional bout on
the mat.
II was Just three years ago that
the strapping Young farmer boy
then nineteen years old. decided that
he wanted to see the world and
could earn his way a. wrestler.
But. having healthy appetite and
no money. he decided To feel his way
first. He sought out Earl Craddock.
an amateur with country side repu-
tatIon. and impaired his big idea.
Craddock was willing for the
frolic. but insisted on remaining an
amateur. so they arranged the bout.
told all the neighbors and Stecher
took the receipts.
straw was spread on the hay lott
floor Of Craddocks barn and ten
cents was the admission price.
Thirty eight paid the price ana
Stccher won two falls out OF three.
Then he counted out his $3.50 and
decided that home was pretty good
place. after all. And he has remained
al home ever since.

mgton potato-bug expert:
see that Scotty Monteith is trying
to hypnou4e the boxing writers and
fans Of Gotham into believing that
Johnny Dundee defeated Freddie Welsh
~ the time they boxed IN New Orleans.
Scotty IL running around town with an
umful of photographs which he claims
were taken H. the rlngside, trying 70
ItCyc that Welsh did not hit Dundee
ore clean punch !l the whole ten
rounds. There Is just one question |
would like To ask Montelth: Why
doesn't he make his Exhibit A the news
paper reports Of that battle, instead OF
a lot Of phoney photographs - Il YOU
waat TO know why, will tell you.
The four New Orleans newspapers
were unanimous in giving Welsh the
verdict over johnny Dundee. and The
Associated Press man followed suit.
The following is p list Of the papers Of
New Orleans that reported the con-
test and what their sporting editors
had 90 say abou, the result:
