STECHER-PETERS
MATCH ARRANGED
Nebraska Heavyweights Will
Clash at Auditorium Night
of February 8.
DETAILS ALL COMPLETED

Joe Stecher, the pride of Dodge
county, and Charley Peters, the Papil-
lion carpenter, will clash in a
wrestling match at the Omaha Audi
forum the night of February 9. Ar
engagements for the event were COM
pleted last night and the date set
For the first time since he started
on his meteoric wrestling career Joe
Stecher will defend his honors against
a fellow Nebraskan. Heretofore Stech-
er's competition has been foreign. For
the reason that both men are native
sons it is believed the Stecher- Peters
go will create NOR ienterest in Ne
braska than any wrestling match held
in Omaha in years.
Charley Peters is the young Papil-
hon carpenter who bobbed up in Oma-
ha last winter. He gained a place in
the catalogue of Nebraska wrestlers
by triumphing over such sterling foes
as Gus kervaros, William Demetral
and Paul Martinson. After vanquish-
ing these mat stars Peters challenged
Stecher. 1t was planned to hold the
bout in Omaha July IS, the night of
the speedway races, but Peters be-
came i'll, and was confined to the hos
pital for several weeks and the match
had to be called off This fall Peters
began to recover until the first of De-
cember he was once more able to re-
sumo active training.
Makes Second Challenge.
When he found himself in condition
to stand long grueling workouts
Peters again challenged Stecher and
yesterday arrangements were COM
pleted for the event February 9.
Joe Hetmanek, manager of Stccher,
came to Omaha Monday and on that
day negotiations for the bout we're
entered into. Yesterday Stecher him
self dropped in unexpectedly from Ex-
celsior Springs. where he has been
resting for a few weeks, and informed
his manager he would be able to
tackle match on February 9.
Stecher declared yesterday his neu-
ritis had all but left him The neu-
ritis opened its attack on Joe on
Thanksgiving day when Joe hurt his
shoulder in match with Charley
Cutler at Chicago. After his bout
with Olin at Springfield, Mass, it be-
came so bad his physician ordered
him to take a rest and undergo some
treatment. The match with Peters
will be Stecher's first bout since his
affair with DIN,
Stecher Goes Home.
After he told Hetmanek to COM
plete the deal for the clash with
Peters, Stecher caught a train for
Dodge at $50 so that he could start
training at once. Joe has been doing
a little running and exercising at En-
cclsior Springs, so he says he only
needs ad ay or two to get into fairly
good shape again. However, Joe says
he intends to start rigid course Of
training Immediately so that Peters
will not catch him mapping when they
tangle in the Auditorium ring,
Peters has been training for six
weeks at Gus Tylee's gymnasium and
last night announced an extension to
his schedule when he learned that the
match had been closed
