$4,000 Offer
For Mat Bout
With Caddock
Promoters Want Match With
Winner of Lewis
Stecher Go

The greatest purse ever put up for
a wrestling bout has been offered by
Jack Curley and Louis Meyer, of this
city. Yesterday they announced that
they were ready to give $4,000 for a
finish match between Earl Caddock.
now the recognized champion, and the
winner of the bout between Ed
("Strangler") Lewis and Joe Stecker,
to be held at Madison Square Garden
Friday night.
In substantiation of this offer the
promoters deposited a certified check
billiard room proprietor, yesterday
afternoon.
According to Curley ard Meyer, all
that remains TO bind th;s match for
the worlds championship is for Cad
dock, who is now IN the army, to ae-
cept the terms Both Lewis and
Stecher have already ceciared their
anxiety to meet Caddock The division
of the purse will be left entirnly 70
Caddock and his opponent. This Loeb
ton of the battle-ground will sc de
cided by those who are putting up the
purse. 1t is probable that the men
will meet either in this city, at the
Garden. or out West, where Caddock
IS stationed.
In discussing the offer made by them
yesterday, Curley and Meyer said that
they were induced to do SO after re-
ceiving an offer of $4,000 from Des
Moines for the match. They felt per
fectly safe, therefore, in raising this
offer another $4,000, for it is felt
that a record breaking crowd would
turn out to see Cadock and either
Lewis or Stecher in action.
Stecher Arrives
Stecher arrived in town to-day and
Immediately went to local gymna-
sium and started to put on the finish
ing touches to his training work. The
Nebraskan farmer boy said he would
be glad to meet Caddock and would
strive extra hard to defeat Lewis Fri
day night, realizing that fortune viii
be within his grasp if he can defeat
both Lewis and Caddock.
Lewis also is due in town to-day,
and is said to be in wonderful condi-
tion for a gruelling match. He is CON
fdent that his deadly deadlock will
more than Offset Stecher's body scis
sors. Whether either of these oen
will be match for Caddock, who is
known as the man with i thousand
holds" is problematic.
Curley and Meyer sent their offer to
Caddock yesterday and are waiting for
his reply. They are confident shat
Earl will be only too anxious to snare
in the big purse and do not believe he
will experience any trouble IN obtain
ing the necessary furlough to prepare
for the championship match.

baseball management has cancelled its
game for that date with the Second
Naval District.
Lucky Jones May Be Lost
Lucky Jones, the hard hitting first
baseman. will probably be lost to the
team this week through difficulties
with the college office. There is still
a chance for the big fellow, but ad-
mittedly slim one. Stan Johnson,
onc of the pitching staff, will probably
be Communicated to take Jones's place.
Joe Stubs. former schoolboy
catcher Of some reputation, has joined
Coach Duffy's backstop stable. For
the present he will act as substitute
for Tom Gammack, the first string
catcher.

WILL MANUFACTURE
~ NOT BUllDS;HIIPS
Program Is on Such Large Scale
That Hurley Uses New Word
In Great Industry

WASHINGTON, July 2s-fOnicial)
Shipping is to be manufacture"
not "built" in the United States So
magnificent is the .scate upon which
Vessels will be produced that Chair
man Hurley prefers the word "manu-
f'ctur"" to "build" in referring to
the industry. :,
Announcement is made by the ship
ping board that there are now 11S fully
equipped and comnleted ship manu-!
facturing plants in the United States
and that forty four more are partial
ly completed. Many had to be built
from the ground up" while others
have been enlarged to such degree
that many of them amount to parctic-
ally new yards.
Greatest of all these shipyards is one
of the four government fabricating
yards which is now ninety percent com
Plcted. This yard will launch it's first
vessel next month and Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson will act as sponsor for it.
Two others of these government
yards are now almost complete and the
fourth, started in May, is still in its
infancy.
Eighteen new ways have been order
ed by tn" Cvuntry's ship manufac-
turerS' as Chairman Hurley likes to
call them for he says that the United
States is getting ready to "manufac-
ture ships on a large scare instead of
building them.
