NAME ON DOCUMENT
Brokaw, Watkins and Barham
Also Join Companions in
Training Camp.
FOURTEEN MEN AT WORK

Hal Brokaw, outfelder; Johnny
Watkins, inhelder, and Wayne Bar
ham, pitcher, joined the Rourkes in
training camp yesterday. Brokaw
and Watkins came up from Kansas
City and Barham, after being tied up
in the snow blockades in the west for
several days, finally got through from
Oregon. Barham was originally due
Thursday night.
Cy Forsythe, veteran right fielder,
signed his 1917 contract yesterday,
too. Cy had been working out with
his mates all last week, but had not
signed up. Yesterday he decided he
had better accept Rourke's terms.
Everybody is signed up now except
Pratt and Benton.
Manager Krug put his charges
through three hours of stiff workouts
yesterday. The wind was a bit chilly,
the atmosphere little raw and the
ground soft from the rain Sunday
night and Monday morning, but
Marty threw in the high speed and
made his athletes go to it. Fourteen
men were out for practice yesterday.
If the weather warns up Krug be-
lieves he will have the Rourkes in
pretty good shape by the end of the
week and that he will have a fairly
good looking nine in action when the
Rourkovnians tackle the Brandeis
next Sunday in the first game of the
year here.

Caddock's Advance in Wrestling
Game Reads Just Like Story Book

Chicago, March 26.--It reads just
like a story book and is one of the
most interesting sporting tales of the
decade, this yarn of how Earl Cad
dock, the Iowa wrestler. first got his
real start on the road to fame in the
graphing arena. 1t happened right
here in the Windy City, and just
three years later Caddock has re-
turned an out-and-out candidate for
the worlds championship title.
1t was in the winter of 1914 that
this lean, raw-boned young fellow,
then only little past his majority,
came to Chicago to look about bit,
as he expressed it. He had done a
little wrestling around the farms in
Iowa, where the sport flourished in an
amateurish sort OF way, and he had
discovered, he said, that he could beat
a lot of the strapping lads of his Sec
ton.
This green hand was Earl Caddock.
About the first man he ran into in
Chicago was Bob Cakes, the big ath-
letic member of the Western Electric
Athletic club. Bob liked wrestling
and, after listening to Caddock's tale
of woe, he advised him TO drop around
to the Chicago Hebrew institute and
consult with Ernesl tye, the light
weight, who gave lessons in wrest-
ling in that place. Earl took this ad-
vice, and the next afternoon was in
the gymnasium looking for the in
structor. Ho found kartye and stated
his case. Tine was a twinkle in
kartye's eye az ne listened.
IVES, | can arrange to give you
tryout right now" he said. I'VE
have champion here named Ben
Reuben. He isn't much, but he thinks
he is. III see if he'll give you a
whirl."
Reuben was approached and was
only too pleased to give the stranger
a workout. Word was sent out
through the building and dozens of
Ben's friends focked into gymnasium
to see the amateur middleweight
champion teach the farmer lad from
Iowa how to take joke. There were
forced smiles on both mems faces as
they watched four small mats being
pushed together to make an arena.
Time was called and they went to
it. Reuben, much the shorter, made
play at once for the long legs of the
stranger. There was wild mixup
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1917-03-27

and inside OF two minutes of desper-
ate scrambling Caddock got crotch
lock and half nelson and Ben was
fiat on his spine.
Hes down" yelled Kartye, who
was referee. That's great stuff; go
at it again"
And at it they went again, in even
wilder fashion. Reuben, enraged at
being shown up in this manner be-
fore all his friends, tried desperately
to turn the tide. The harder he tried
the faster Caddock Topped him and
before twenty minutes had been turn
ed the great Hebrew star was dizzy
from being thrown about.
"Who are you, anyway" Reuben
asked when he finally caught his
breath again.
"Only a farmer from Iowa." was
the simple answer. Never had a les
son in my life, but just thought |
might be a rassler, that's all"
well, you certainly are" exclaimed
both Reuben and Kartye in one voice,
Everybody gathered around the new
conner and congratulated him.
Hes ringer sure" was the gen.
eral opinion.
Later they found out he wasn't.
Il gave him everything there was
in stock, but he broke holds so easily
that it was plain at the start that he
was a wonder" said Reuben. Ben
was nursing caulAower ear, the
first he had received in seven years
of work on the mat. That was all
he got out OF the bout, but he had
made lifelong friend of Caddock
and now they are almost inseparable.
In fact, Ben is helping Earl train for
his bout with Stecher.
1t was on the strength Of that
workout that Reuben, then a men,
Der of the great Chicago Athletic as
ISOLATION team, recommended Cad
dock to Martin Delaney, who
promptly got Earl Chicago Ath-
letic association membership. 1t was
under the cherry circle" that Earl
won all of his great amateur honors,
cleaning up the entire country.
Later, when he had decided to turn
professional, he turned likewise to
his friend Gene Melady, for advice
and was taken under the Omaha
mans managerial wing, where he still

AIR UP 10000 FEET COLD
Even in Hottest Weather Aviator May
Be In Arctic Regions After Flight
of Ten Minutes.

AviatOrs experience many different
degrees Of temperature in their flights.
On the hottest day in summer a flying
man may be in the arctic regions in
ten minutes by mounting to a height
Of 10000 feet. just as the climber may
pass through all the shades of temper
ature by climbing Kilima-Njaro, that
giant peak which rises above the snow
line from the equator. He commences
with the tropical jungle and ends
amid eternal snow.
The fact is that the temperature is
invariably low at 10000 feet and over,
whether at the tropics or the poles,
and 1t is quite likely to be lowered at
the equator. Airmen well know the in
tense cold of those upper regions, and
they need the rig-out Of a Shackleton
if they would mount to 10000 feet
above the earths surface. In fact,
there is little variation of temperature
in these upper reaches of the at
mosphere. 1t is much the same in sum-
mer as winter, except for the differ
ence which high wind makes.
Even in the depth of hot summer
the airmen will encounter 40 degrees
of frost at 10000 feet, and at twice
that altitude 100 degrees Of frost-the
temperature of the South pole-is not
unusual.
