Carl Marfsi Tells How Bill Hokuf
Tried to Tkrow1 the Bull in Texas

Carl Marfsi tells an interesting
story of the first time he saw Big
Bill Hokuf.
The elite of the sporting fraternity
was gathered around a festive ban
quet table at the Merchants hotel
few evenings ago, when Fred Bur-
lingim, the Beau Brummel of Far
nam street, and one of the real
luminaries of sportdom, changed the
course conversation to the coming
Caddock- Stecher contest. Every one
was giving his views and merits and
dement's of these two young gladia-
tors when Gene Melady spoke up
and asked Carl Marfsi what had hap
pened to Big Bill Hokuf" since he
has been losing his matches SO con-
stantly of late. As Carl used to be
Hokuf's pilot, the newspaper men
recollect how he led "Big Bill" around
by the hand for fear of losing him.
WELL" remarked Marfsi, 81 am
going to tell you an interesting story
about Big Bill and it's not bunk
either. The first time ever saw
Hokuf was about seven years ago in
a little town in Texas. l had been to
Memphis, Tenn. where / had Tommy
Bresnahan, a former Omaha boy,
boxing Tommy Gary Of Chicago. On
my way back home ! stopped off in
St. Louis to see certain railroad off
cial who was an old friend. Well it
happened that when ! arrived in St.
Louis that the railroad man had just
arranged for landseekers' excursion
and had about 100 Italians interested
in colonization project booked for
a trip to Texas. The railroad official
hired me on the spot to be inter-
prefer and overseer of the party.
at so happened that Big Bill Ho-
kuf' was in the south at that time,
where he had wrestled George Hack
ensmidt, the famous Russian lion, at
Dallas. Hpkuf's showing with Hack
ensmidt was so commendable that
he gained considerable prestige in
the south, and on the strength of his
showing he was booked by a travel
ing burlesque troupe as an added at
traction to the show. The manager of
the burlesque troupe, being a live

wire and knowing that Hokuf was
an unusual athlete, featured him as
the human toreador. On the billboard
advertising they had picture of
Bill wrestling and conquering wild
bull and offering $25 in cash to any
one who would bring a bull to the.
show house that Hokuf could not con-
quer.
We'll" remarked Marfisi, that was
new stuff on me, and having the time
l went to the opera house that night
to witness the feat. The small thea
ter was packed to suffocation and
people were standing out in line to
gain entrance. The burlesque show
was of the usual tank town variety
and it seemed to be working on the
spectators nerves, everyone being
anxious only to see Hokuf conquer
the ferocious animal.
+. "Well, it happened that this attrac-
ton was last, and when the announcer
introduced Hokuf he gave Bill reg
ular send-off and. Judging from the
reception accorded him, you would

know, seven years ago Bill was the
real Apollo of the American mat and
a wonderful athlete. Well. out came
Hokuf, dressed in red flannel shirt
and torrid zone trousers. He ap-
peared on one side of the stage and
the giant bull on the other. All OF
sudden the animal was turned loose
and it made lunge at Bill. Had it
struck him it would have meant an
aerial trip for him to Bulgaria. PAN
demonium reigned and the people
were falling out of their box seats
and fighting to get out Of the exit.
thinking that poor Hokuf would be
gored to death. All of a sudden the
animal made another murderous
lunge at him. Fortunately for Ho-
kuf, he side-stepped and caught the
enraged bull by the tail and hung on
for dear life. Say, talk about endur-
ancc, Bill Hokuf had more of it in
those days than any 'rastler' Of his
time. The fact OF il is that Hokuf
hung on to that bulls tail for three
days and three nights and they had

from starving to death"

MICHIGAN STILL OUT
OF THE CONFERENCE
Uni Regents Expected to Settle
the Controversy During
the Month.
MAY RENEW RELATIONS

New York, March 1.-THE board
of regents OF the University 81
Michigan having met and adjourned
without considering the project of
Michigan's application for restoration
as member OF the Western confer
ence, the alumni and student body
will have plenty OF time in which
to null over the matter. The regents
do not meet again until March 80, by
which time it is likely that the pres
ent situation, which arose so sud
denly as result of Michigan's en-
trance in a Big Nine track event, will
have boiled down to a residum, either
appreciable or insignificant, as the
case may be.
Perhaps this was the reason for
the dissemination, or say rather the
failure, of the Michigan board of re-
gents to take up the question at its
meeting of February 23. Each men,
Der of the board took away from the
meeting a long manuscript of the
project in all its ramifcations, and no
doubt the affair will be settled one
way or another the last of this month.
In the meantime the student body
awaits further developments with
some impotence. There, appears to
be general feeling among the un-
dergraduates that renewed relations
with teams of the Big Nine have a
salutary effect upon Michigan ath-
letics.
Concerning the Dates.
There is just now great deal Of
talk concerning the arrangement of
foot ball date with one of the con-
ference Observation-Disclosures. The
Evanston authorities, it is said, are
eager to have their eleven meet
Michigan, and belief that there is
something in the air has been
strengthened by the reticence of Ath-
letic Director Bartelme, in his recent
statement, which follows:
I'm view of the fact that North
western made an excellent showing
on the foot ball gridiron this last sea-
son and bids fair to make good
showing next year, with practically
the entire team left, it appears that
such an arrangement might be very
satisfactory one if the regents take
the necessary action to permit our
engaging in athletic contests with
conference institutions
There is but one available date on
the Wolverine schedule, November
"a. This would give the middle west
a big final game, fact which would
enhance the importance of the con-
test. Regarding Michigan's possible
establishment as a conference uni
versity, there seems to be no objec-
ton on the part Of the present men,
bers.

"LAY OFF BETTING, +"
Is MELADY'S CRY
Says Gambling Fever Puts
Sportsmanship on the Blink
and Starts Grief.
CIVIL WAR A FAKE?"

II don't want any betting-one way
or the other, time falls or long odds
on the Stecher-Caddock MATCH" de-
clares Promoter Gene Melady, who
is clearing decks for action at the
Auditorium here April 9.
Betting is the element that has
placed upon wrestling, and, for that
matter, on every other sporting event,
the smirch of suspicion and the ram
king hurt of dissatisfaction.
"The fact that Stecher is 'the pride
Of Nebraska" and Caddock is "the
pride of Iowa" is stirring up the keen
est kind of feeling between sport fol-
lowers in the two states and though
l realize that it is impossible to stop
the placing of bets, still l wish that
it could be stopped some way.
1T is human weakness that a
loser never really loses in good grace,
Either he thinks there is something
wrong or he says so whether there is
any supporting evidence or not.
"There are some folks in this world,
l venture, who would call the Span
ish-American war fake if they had
bet on Spain.
"Joe Stecher is clean and so is Cad
dock, and when ! say clean ! mean
clean morally, as they are physically.
But after the match you'll have no
difficulty in finding some fellow who
lost a $40 bet, who's willing to call
Heaven to witness that the match
was fixed and he had bunch that
way all along, only the odds tempted
him."
There are only 5000 seats to be
sold for this match and they go on
sale at the Merchants hotel Monday.
One of the first orders, accompanied
by the money was for $50 seats for
the delegation from Anita, Ia, where
Caddock lives. The Merchants hotel
management is holding an enormous
amount of money and checks sent by
folks from all over Iowa and Ne
braska, who want seats and have
abiding faith that the early bird had
the low-down dope on doings among
the worms. These will be served with
seat checks the first thing Monday
morning. After the seats are sold,
and the holders are in the Audi
forum, standing room will be sold.
ut has been the habit of some folks
to buy standing room and then flop
in the ringside seat, trusting to his
powers of intimidation or bluff to
keep him there despite the clamor
of the rightful owner.
Every seat holder will sit in the
chair he paid for" Melady promised
IF it is already occupied, policeman
will GUST the intruder without cere-
mony."
Caddock will do no wrestling ex-
cept training camp work, until he
meets Stecher, and Stccher has only
one bout with an inferior opponent,
scheduled for this week. After this
one he will turn his attention to his
training against Caddock.
Stecher figures Caddock to be the
toughest one he has ever been called
upon to handle, according to letter
from Hetmanek, his manager, and he
is going into the affair with the ex-
pection of using every trick in his
sack.
