PETERS AND PESEK
TO CLASH IN BOUT
Papillion Carpenter and Buff
falo County Marvel Carded
to- Tangle on Mat in
Omaha in July.

Charley Peters, tie celebrated Pa
pillion carpenter, and John Pesek, the
Buffalo county mat marvel, will clash
in wrestling joust next month.
The match will be held in Omaha
and Jack Lewis, well known local
sportsman, probably will undertake
promotion. The date will be set i'm
mediately after the Marin Plestina-
Henry Ordeman' bout here July 4.
Both Peters and Pesek rank high
in the regard of Omaha wrestling
fans. Peters came into prominence
two years ago and was undefeated
until last February when he sue
cumbedto Joe Stecher's scissors after
forty-sM minutes Of gruellihg grap-
pling.
Pesek flashed like a meteor across
the wrestling sky last winter. He has
been seen only once in Omaha. He
wrestled twenty-minute preliminary
with Jim Londos before the Stecher-
Peters bout. Later he defeated Lon
dos. Pesek also stayed an hour in a
handicap match with Earl Caddock.
Caddock failed to throw him at all.
Peters and Pesek both are after
matches with Earl Caddock.

CADD0CK TO QUIT
WRESTLING A WHILE
Iowa Grappler Lets Physical
Condition Run Down and
Must Rest for Sew
eral Months.

Earl Caddock, claimant to the
heavyweight championship of the
world, will desert the wrestling games
for the next few months.
Caddock's physical condition has
run down from the over burden of so
many matches and Earl has decided to
forsake the bone-crushing pastime
until he has recuperated completely.
1t is probable Caddock will remain
on his Anita, Ia, farm most of his rest
ing period, but he also will spend
several weeks i'll the mountains.
6ddock now is far from the per-
feet speciman he was when he de-
feated Joe Stecher in Omaha April 9.
His activity has caused general de-
cline in his physical makeup. Since
trimming Stecher in April Caddock
has engaged in dozen matches, six
to the month. As result he has not
given his body an opportunity to build
up.
Physicians assert Caddock loses
much more strength in the ring than
the ordinary wrestler, because prac-
tically all of his opponents have out
weighted him twenty or thirty pounds.
The handicap in poundage forces Earl
to strain himself more than would
man of equal weight.

Omaha to Be Thomas Last Race;
To Join Uncle Sans Aviation Corps

The Omaha classic, July 4, may be
the last speedway race in which Joe
Thomas, captain Of the Mercer team,
will participate. For probably before
another month drops into the abyss
of time Thomas will be fighting bat
ties in the air for Uncle Sam instead
of pursuing fame and fortune on the
gasoline circuit.
Thomas is birdman of year and
half's experience. Aviation was his
first love. He was an exceptionally
skillful pilot and gave promise of be-
coming one OF the most celebrated
aviators America ever turned out be-
fore he abandoned this field of en-
deavor for automobile racing.
Joe quit flying because of the wishes
of his mother, who feared for heTboy
when he was in the air. Whether or
not he selected safer occupation in
motor racing probably would be a
matter of dispute for most persons. (,
Joe has notified the government
that he is ready to steer one Of Uncle
Sans flying machines any time he is
called and it is expected he will be
summoned within the next few days.
Thomas made his debut as a race
driver in 1911, placing third with a
stock Mercer in the lnter-City road
race at Tacoma. The following sea-
son he won two road events, his most
notable achievement being his tri-
umphant drive Of 750miles from Seat
tie to Vancouver and return. In 1913,
Joe accepted a position as mechan-
ician on the Mercer factory team,
pumping oil for Eddie Pullen in
1914 and 1915. He was promoted to
driver last spring and proved worthy
of the trust that had been placed in
him, finishing second IN the Corona
boulevard race. Thomas also drove
at Sheephead Bay last fall, but his
car failed to finish inside the money.
Thomas suffered an almost fatal ac-
cident at Chicago. He was leading
the race by mile and half at the

which made him a winner during the

Gardiner started the present season
with brilliant burst, but of late the

The neighbor's cat, which Harry
Keiner, 43l8 Seward street. Central
High school freshman, killed with his
slingshot, when he was 10 years old,
didn't have the proverbial nine lives
Of most tabbies. And though Harry
received severe calling down from
the neighbor and a more severe
spanking from his mother for his ex-
ceilent craftsmanship, he never re-
GREETED the fact.
According to Keiner, who is now
10 years old. it marked the beginning
Of his interest in shooting.
When Lieutenant Oscar l.. Keat-

High school at the beginning of the
school term, Keiner had no difficulty
in qualifying and though but fresh
man, before the season was over had
demonstrated he was the crack shot

In the shooting at the East Omaha
range, Keiner qualified as an expert
riheman. His score was 81 out Of
possible 100. Keiner was not
given first honors; because he did not
shoot the required number of shots
but his performance was such that
Lieutenant Keating has declared him
to be the best shot at Central High

news read 3 to /.
Bugs" Grover, once a member of
the Rourke clan, is largely responsible
for the sad tidings. After the Nthird

single Rourke to connect safely. He
subdued our heroes in almost regular

The one run chalked up by Krug's
men was chalked up in the third.

Sioux City marked up one tally in
the second. Connolly beat out an in
field hit and swiped second, scoring a
moment later on Willie Lee Crosbys
bingle to right.
Gilmore's inheld hit, Holly's sacri-
fee and RAIDERS safety to center
counted a second run for the enemy

RALPH MULF0RD
DUE I'd ARRIVE
IN OMAHA TODAY
Captain o. Hudson Team
Leaves Chicago for Gate City
Preparatory to Speedway
Races July a.
BY FRED S. HUNTER.

Within another week Omaha will be
the mecca for all speed enthusiasts
and the railbird, who delights to clock
the speeding steel steeds as they
sweep around the board oval, once
more will be in his element.
Before the week is out il is ex-
pected practically every one of the
gasoline speed merchants scheduled to
drive in the Omaha Speedway classic
July4 will be on the job.
Ralph Mulford, winner of second
place In the 1916 local event and cap
tain Of the Hudson team this year,
left Chicago last night and is due in
the Gate City this morning. He is
accompanied by Arthur Hill, last year
Dario Resta's manager and this year
manager of the Hudson crew.
The three Hudson machines were
shipped Friday and should be here
upon The arrival Of Mulfora and Hill.
Vail Drives Overland.
Ira Vail, Mulford's sensational
teammate, is driving overland from
Chicago with his mother. He already
has started the journey and should
roll in Monday or Tuesday at the
latet.
The Duesenberg team, consisting OF
Baby Pete Henderson, Eddie Hearne
and Tommy Milton, is expected to ar
rive the first part of the week.
Much is expected of the Duesenberg
team this season. Disciples Of speed
expect to see this trio of classy driv-
ers become as famous as that won-
derful team of old, Burman, Strang
and Chevrolet, II they continue to-
gether long enough. Hearne is the
veteran of the team. He is one of
the sensational type. He drives for
all that is in him, takes every chance
that presents itself, yet always is care
full to conserve his engine and car.
Henderson and Milton are OF the
younger generation. Both are great
drivers already, but as they gain ex-
perience they will become still more
proficient.
Changes to Occur.
Some switches in the drivers may
occur this week. CASTOR Chevrolet
and Joe Boyer will drive the two
Frontepac entries, in all probability.
Louis Chevrolet has been asked to
take part in all invitation meet at
Uniontown, Pa, and probably will ac-
cept. In the event he does, his
brother, Castor, and Boyerlwill tool
his cars here.
Otto Henning, scheduled TO drive
