the field telephones, and when the
wires fail, the heliOgraph and the wig

The primary consideration, forestry
officials say, is the prevention of
forest fires.
To get othe fires in their infancy,
lookouts are stationed by the forestry
service on mountain peaks overlook
ing large areas. Day and night they
sweep the horizon with their field
glasses, watching for the thin curl Of
smoke. The location of these they
"spot" on intricate maps. kept ready
to hand. and then telephone the
forest station nearest the blaze. From
the forest stations the advance guards
are throkn out-"smoke chasers"
whose duty it is to locate the fire.
That more timber is not destroyed
during a season such as the present
one is due largely to the activities OF
these smoke patrols. If the smoke
chaser" is able to extinguish the
blaze he does so, and if not, tele-
phones for reinforcements.
If the fire has gained considerable

modified, the strategic problem be,

nearest possible point.

however, in green timber, this method
cannot be employed successfully. In
that case enough trees must be felled
to clear a space so to rs feet in width.
If the fire is in dead timber "a
trench some so feet in width is dug
after all timber has been cleared, and
everything combistible is tnrued und

There is usually lull in every fire,
forestry officials say, usually al night,
when the wind dies down. Fighters
have learned to avail themselves of
every such cessation of the activities
of the flames, to construct a barrier
which the blaze cannot surmount.

Jack Taylor Puts
Up $3.50 and Hurls
Def to the World

Ambitious wrestlers who aspire to
cut some ice in their chosen profes-
sion-or trade if you choose-will
have to take one Jack Taylor, Cana
dian champion, into consideration in
the future if Ray Page, recently
signed to manage Taylor, has his
way about it.
Page has placed in the hands of the
sporting editor of The Bee check
for $3.50. Page says he and Taylor
have been trying for some time to
arrange matches with top-notch
heavyweights, but that it has been
their experience that most grapplers
are largely conversationalists and
cultivate chilliness in the feet when
the time comes to get down to busi-
ness.
Taylor, Page says, has come back
to Nebraska to qualify for another
match with Joe Stecher and intends
to prove his worth by eliminating all
other contenders. Page sends in his
check for $3.50 as forfeit to bind a
match between Taylor and Marin
Plestina, Earl Caddock or any other
heavyweight wrestler, first come, first
served.
Taylor wrestles Charlie Cutler at
Lincoln FEBRUARY 26. After that event
he says he'll take anybody and every
body on as they come up.
Step forward, you brave and bold
bonecrushers, the sporting editor OF
The Bee is Still holding that $3.50
check

STECHER TO MEET
CADDOCK IN OMAHA
Gene Melady Will Promote
Clash Between These Two
Wrestling Phenoms.
TO BE SOME TIME IN APRIL

Toe Stecher, who recently came back
after an attack of neuritis by defeating
Charlie Peters, has been matched to
grapple the latest of wrestling phe-
noms, Earl Caddock, the Anita, Ia,
boy. e.
The Stechcr- Caddock clash will be
staged in Omaha some time in April,
probably on or about April 10. Gene
Melady, who conducted the Stecher-
Cutler and Stecher-Lewis tangles, will
promote the bout.
The Stecher- Caddock match has
been in the making for some months,
After winning the amateur champion
ship of the United States Caddock
blossomed out as full-hedged pro-
fessional couple of years ago and
Immediately began to sweep through
the pro ranks like meteor through
the thin air. He threw all his oppo-
nents with the exception of a handicap
match or so in which he merely failed
to throw his foe in the required time
limit and he has never had his shoul-
ders touched to the mat since his
start.
Lighter Than Stecher.
Caddock is lighter than Stecher,
Earl will probably weigh around 100
pounds. But he is fast as lightning,
is keen student of wrestling and has
been called "the wrestler with thou
sand holds"
Since last fall Melady has been an
Cling for this Stecher-C -Caddock match.
Stecher's illness temporarily stopped
the negotiations, but when Joe re-
turned to form and threw Peters the
other night he agreed to take Cad
dock on.
Articles will be signed as soon as
the date is agreed upon. April is the
month-before Nebraska goes into the
dry column-and April 10 will i'll all
probability be the day.

Plans for Spring at Happy

ease, golftis, begin &c assemble their
implements and complain about the
high cost of golf balls and the pass

Charley Johnston, professional at

work on the Happy's eighteen-hole
course. AS soon as the frost gets out
of the ground Charley will make a
few changes in the course.
More bunkers will be placed before
the thirteenth hole. so that the sec
ond shot on this hole must be pitched
The other changes have to do with
the installation of women S tees on
six, eight and fourteen, the present
tees being a little difficult for women
to carry. The woman's state cham

TWO SHORT RACES
ON OMAHA SAUCER
Championship Will Be Hundred
Miles, Followed by Fifty
Mile Consolation.
PRIZE MONEY TO BE $12,5oo

Two races, one OF 100 miles and the
other of fifty miles, will be held on
the Omaha auto speedway July a.
according to announcement of Presi-
dent Bert LIE Bron.
The l00-mile race will be a cham
pionship event. Only eight cham
pionship races are to bs held during
1917, each of the eight big speedways
being permitted to hold only one race
which will count in the flight for the
title which Dario Resta now holds.
The fifty-mile race will be conso-
lation event to follow Immediately
after the championship.
The conclusion to stage the two
short races was arrived at after OBJ
servances made at the two previous
Omaha speedway events in 1915 and
1916. In 1915 a 300-mile race was
held. Last year two races, one l5C
miles long and the other fifty, were
held. Those who saw both races pu,
the stamp of approval on the shorter
because the longer the race the more
it appeared like tedious grind to
the spectator.
So for this reason the directors oi
the local speedway decided to make
the 1917 classic shorter still. 1t is be.
lieved 100 miles is the most desirable
distance for a championship.
Seeker of Thrills.
The speed enthusiast is a seeker oi
thrills. Because they must preserve
their motors and tires drivers in the
longer races cut out the exciting
brushes which provide these thrills
But the question of sturdincss oi
motor and stamina of tires is moi
prominent in the shorter races. A
100-mile race would undoubtedly be
run in less than an hour by the win.
ming pilot. He would have to make
speed OF over 100 miles an hour to
win. The driver who steers safe
and steady race won't get any place
And that means that every driver
on the track will have lead in his
foot, will crowd the accelerator dowr
as far as it will go, will crowd on ali
the speed he possesses and accept
rather than shirk any chance thai
arises.
1t is believed the spectator will
get one solid hour of real thrills
witnessing a l0O-milc joust, which
would be much more satisfactory thar
getting thrill every once in while
in longer race.
The ffty-miIe conslation clash to
follow would round out an afternoon
of real entertainment, is the logic ot
speedway directors.
The prize money to be awarded the
victorious pilots will total $l2,500. OF
this $4,000 will apply on the cham.
pionship race, ruling of the new
American Automobile Speedway as
sociation making it obligatory to
hang up a purse which averages $l0C
a mile, and $500 will apply on the
fifty-milc sprint.

Fu|tz Releases Players
From PIedqe Not to Sign

New York, Feb. H.-President
David L. Fultz of the Bas Ball Play
ers' fraternity announced today that
the members of the organization had
been formally released from their
pledges not to sign 1917 club contracts
until they received the consent of the
fraternity officials. This release is the
final step in calling off the recent base
ball strike which for time threatened
to seriously interfere with the game
during the coming season.
Fultz, in announcing the withdrawal
of the strike order, said that the fra
ternity would continue as the players
official organization and the future OF
the association would depend upon the
interest and action Of the players
themselves in this connection.

Gaskell Decides
Pace Is Too Fast

Prince Gaskell, sole owner and
proprietor OF the original trick
windup, doesn't want to play with
Omaha this year. Z
The prince probably took a slant
at the hurting staff Pa Rourke has
lined up and arrived at quick de-
cision that he wouldn't be able to
stand the competition. So he has
requested Rourke to give him his
unconditional release.
The Omaha magnate has no in
tention of keeping Gaskell and ex-
poets either to ship him to some
other village which may have some
use for bird with clown windup
or give him the unconditional re-
lease he requests.
