1t is thus OF particular Importance
that the United States endeavor to nm

vast melting pot of the nations. The
melting pot Of Brazil is not just like

as complicated boiling. The racial
diversity in Brazilian society is as pro-

EXPERTS CALL.
DEADLOCK BUNK.
j 0 { FAV0RITE
Battle Still on Over Referee
for independence Day Bout
Between Lewis and
Stecher.

A gentleman from St, Louis is
said to be eager to wager 5000
that Joe Stecher will not last an
hour with Stranger" Lewis when
they face each other on the wrest-
ling mat in the Auditorium July 4.
OF course the man from St. Iouis
may be right, but Nebraska follow
ers of the game can see no reason
why Stecher should lose at all. OF
course Lewis has perfected his head
lock, but experts fail to agree on its
effectiveness.
James P, Sinnott of the New York
Mail declares that the agitation
against the deadlock is mostly bunk
and that it is not the furnishing hold
It seems.
Other close students Of the game
say it is extremely difficult to get
real deadlock clamped on a first
class wrestler. Few will dispute the
claim of Stecher to rank with the
elite on the map and his scissors
hold makes him a doubly danger
Gus foe.
Lewis should give Stecher hard
battle, but if he does not run away.
the Dodge county boy should carry
home the winners end of the purse.
No decision has been reached on
a referee between the principals and
it appears that neither man will
weaken on his choice for the third
man. Stecher insists that Ne
braska man be chosen while Lewis
is equally as emphatic for a man
from the outside.
The match is the best that has
been staged here this year. 1t may
explode the Lewis deadlock bubble.
and it has definitely been agreed by
Gene Melady, promoter Of the match
and manager of Champion Earl Cad
dock, that the winner shall have
chance at the title.
The early advance sale of seats at
the Auditorium and downtown ho-
tells exceeds the sale of any match
ever held in Omaha. The indica-
tons are that every seat will be sold
when the doors open on the after
noon of our national birthday.

By punching hits with errors and
walks, the Longeways were easy

scoreless. Heath received miserable
support from his mates, who erred
seven times.
The hitting Of Carl and Charley

Toledo, June 29.-(Special Tele-
gram. DWELL, here l am on the bat
tie ground after some little delay in
Chicago, so that l did not reach
Toledo until this morning. Suppose
you will want to know all about
what is going on in Toledo.
I dropped into the Hotel Secor at
about 10 o'clock and the first man l
met that knew was my esteemed
competitor, Sandy Griswold. A few
minutes later | ran into Charlie
Mathieson, who used to be my boss
on the New York Boxing Record.
"reminiscences were in order, but
before Jess Willard blew in, Charlie
relieved himself of the opinion that
Willard was cinch.
Bat Masterson figures the same
way, and for some time he has had
$500 posted with Tex Richard to

See Both Train.
The champion and challenger
have unique system of shaming
the pre-battle profits. Willard starts
his training at 2:30 and Dempsey be-
gins shortly after $50. The bugs
watch Jess box and then hustle over
to Dempsey's camp, a mile away
and see Jack perform.
The champion boxed three rounds
with Jack Hemple, two with Walter
Monahan, shadow boxed a round
and then stepped another with Mon
ahan. For the most part he stood
flat-footed and blocked nearly every
thing sent at him, but he sprung
surprise today, disproving the iopin-
ions that his legs were in bad shape.
He took Hemple and Monahan en-
tirely by surprise by stepping away

and sidestepping number of times
Not Too Heavy.
This wasn't the only surprise for
the sparring partners either. He
would go along rather easy for a
while and then tear loose a punch
that would lift Jack or Walter off
the floor a foot. He'd laugh like
a schoolboy when he did it, but for
the most part was very business
like. He looks good and appears
to be carrying no more extra flesh
than man of his size needs to
have to box II rounds.
At the Dempsey camp. Bill Tate
opened with the challenger, going
one round. Jamaica Kid stepped a
round and Jock Malone went one.
Then Tate came back and Jamaica
and Malone in order, making six
rounds in all, two with each. Jack
works fast and looks like a million
dollars. Malone makes him box
fast. but Dempsey seems to enjoy
it. Bill Tate is using his head and
feet both now, for he won't let the
challenger near him without falling
into clinch.
