Lincoln, Jan. ESPECIAL. Am at
tempt will be made at the present ses-

Here's Caddock's Reply to
PIestina and Peters. Earl
Caddock Will Wrestle
Both of Them.

The hackers of Marin Plestina
; have been clamoring for a return
match with me. The public is well
aware of the fact that l decisively
defeated Plestina Dec. 1, 1915 at
Atlantic, Ia, winning two straight
falls in 38 minutes. Mr.. Plestina
now claims he was not in the best
condition and l am willing to give
him the benefit of the doubt.
Now here's my offer to Pete
Loeb, manager of Charlie Peters
and hacker of Marin Plestina:
l will wrestle Peters and Pies
tina on the following terms: l
will wrestle Peters first within 80
days, for side bet of 81, 900, win
ner to take entire receipts. Con-
test must be to a finish. In case
there are no falls within two hours,
the referee must positivelysdecide
a winner and loser on points.
These same terms go for Mr..
Plestina, and l will wrestle him
within thirty days after my match
with Peters, but Peters must come
first, due to the fact that | de-
feated Plestina and Peters defeat
ed Plestina.
If these terms are acceptable to
the hacker of Peters and Plestina,
l will deposit $1,000 with any
bank, citizen or newspaper in
Omaha for each match, and will
sign articles of agreement imme-
diately.
This is my final reply to Peters
and Plestina, and if they do not
accept these terms, l will have no
further dealings with them.
