Speedy Earl Caddock
Throws MichaIoff Twice

Louisville, KY. April 20.-(Special
Telegram Earl Caddock, winner
over Joe Stecher. had little trouble
in Hopping Ivan Michaloff, Russian
wrestler. here tonight.
Caddock slammed the Russian for
the first fall in nineteen minutes and
forty-fve seconds with head scis-
sors and wrist lock.
The second fall required but ten
minutes and fifty seconds and the
work was done with leg scissors
and half Nelson.
Michaloff weighed i'll at go pounds,
while Caddock tipped the beam
around 180 pounds. Weight did not
make any difference, however. for
Caddock went around the Russian like
wheel around the hub.
Once during the first fall Michaloff
got behind Caddock, but just for mo-
ment. -.
In the second session, Michaloff
failed to get behind Caddock at all.
The lowan was on the attack all OF
the time, and kept boring in regu-
larly. He generally brought his man
down by diving at his feet, at which
stunt he is regular speedster. 1t
was the first time that Caddock ever
wrestlcd here and he was given a
grcTt reception.
Gene Melady,. manager OF Caddock
was here for the match, as was Jack
Curley.

ROURKES WILL TRY !,
FOR THE CAPPER CUP
President zehrung Will Address
Commercial Club and Ro-
,t, tarians Here. s
DENVER is STARTING FAST

President Frank Zehrung OF the
Western League. will ipcak before
hc Rotary club in Omaha Wcdnes-
day to arouse the interest OF the
members in the opening OF the league
season Tor Omaha May |. He will
also speak before the Omaha Com
nercial club the next day 10 tell the
business men what it will mean to
Omaha for them to get behind the
champion Rourkes.
In the Western there is always a
contest among the various cities for
the Capper cup which is given 70 the
city which has the largest crowd at
the opening game. Last year this
was won by Omaha through the ac-
tivity OF the Rotary club. which paid
the entrance fee for several thous-
and Of the larger kiddies OF the pub
lie schools.
The Rourkes got away to bad
start on the championship season and
although Pa Rourke has sent no ex-
cuses this probably is accounted for
by the snow storms in which the
games were played before small
crowds at Denver. Now the Rourkes
are in sunny Kansas and they hope TO
give better account OF themselves,
Pa Rourkc is now hustling for a
hard hitting outhelder to take the
place of Cy Forsythe, who jumped the
team at Denver Thursday to GO to
smaller league where he evidently
thinks he has better chance to be a
king,
St. Joseph Pitchers Strong.
Des Moines went to St. Joseph
touted as sluggers and left with
total Of nine hits acquired in two
games. In the first game theyswere
confronted with Babe Adams, the
former worlds series star and the
pitching which he served was of such
variety that it puzzled the Iowans
to come at all within reaching dis
tance Of the ball. In the next game
Bob Wright, former Cub star, pitched
almost equally as we'll and the St.
Joseph fans were afforded the rare
sight OF seeing their team at the top
Of the league.
Joplin, the new sister in the league,
has had hard luck, rain having pre-
vented the opening and putting
sort of damper upon the enthusiasm
which had been worked up among the
fans. The Joplin fans assert that
their city would have easily carried
away the Cappcr cup for attendance
figures had not rain interfered with
their plans.
Des Moines seems to have gathered
together a great club in spite of their
bad start at st. Joseph. Jack Coffey
is managing the club this year and
that alone is sufficient to give the fans
OF the Iowa town reason to believe
that they will be we'll up in the race
throughout the season.
Over in Lincoln the fans are build
ing strong hopes and mainly because
Of the fact that Ducky Holmes never
has a team which is not in the run
ming.
Denver a Contender,
Denver seems to have a contender
lined up If the Bears can get the
pitching they need, something they
were lacking in all Of last season, The
Grizzlies are team OF hard hitters
and upon this branch will alone win
many ball game this summer.
Manager Holley is facing a hard
problem at Sioux City, for that club
remains about the same as that OF
last year and there appears to be lit
tie disposition on the part of Ned
Hanlon to spend real money for new
