Cleveland, o., Feb. 2l.-Johnny
hilbane, champion featherweight
boxer of the world, was matched
today to meet frankie Brown in a
six-round bout at Philadelphia
March 10. 1t will be Kilbane's first
contest i'll almost two years.
Omaha daily bee., 1919-02-22


The match was thrilling through
ont, each man trying desperately to
gain advantage. First one and
Then the other would be behind and
TRY for a deciding grip but his
efforts would be evaded or blocked
and they would rise to their feet
again. They were out of the ring
two or three times locked in each
others arms and~had to be helped
back onto the platform by specta-
tors.
Savage Endures Agony.
The outstanding feature~of the
FIRST fall was the manner in which
Savage endured the agony caused by
|pesek's toehold. His face was as
white as any sheet but not until 1t
seemed that the spectators suffered
as much as he, did he succumb and
signal the referee that he would con-
'eede the fall. f..
Everyone expected that the sec
ond fall would be over quickly, but
Savage came back as tough and Vi
'cious as he was in the first set
to and seemed determined to gain
IA fall TO make up for the one lost.
HE went right after Pesek, but
'iound the latter as willing to mix
as he was himself Ii was thought
That it might wind up in boxing
match, as the men took to slapping
one another with open hands They
worked hard and fast and made it
lone OF the best wrestling matches
ever staged in this city. Every hold
known to either man was tried dur
Ing the progress Nof the bout and
either blocked or evaded or if Sc
cured broken.
Second Fall Shorter.
The second fail was another
|gruelling toehold affair, this time
lasting only 50 seconds, but long
enough for Savage's face to turn
lashen in color. Pesek clalnped the
|grip on for all he was worth and
Though the Chicagoan tried II
wiggle out Of it and push the local
man off. he was unsuccessful and
finally signled Referee Griswold
that he would concede the iall and
The match. The fail came in 81
minutes and SO seconds. Savage
had hardly been able to walk after
the first fall and had to be helped
4 from the ring and the second APP
lplcation Of this deadly grip didn't
HELP his walking any.
The main bout was refereed by
Sandy Griswold, while tie pre-
'liminary and semi final was nicely
handled by Denny Ryan. :he as
stant athletic director Of The OnF
Ia Athletic club.
Ray and Stangl Win.
The preliminary contestants en-
tered the ring at $3.50 o'clock and
we're sent on their way couple Of
minutes later. Tom Ray, the popu-
lar equilibrist wrestler, was opposed
rs Barney Miller, tile pride Of
South Omaha They went right al-
ten ono another and Ray missed a
deadlock the first thing but turned
on Miller and got behind him almost
as quick as thought. They wrestled
% minutes before Ray finally won
tho match with body scissors and
a half nelson.
The seui-windup was a heavy
weight affair between Ross Dristy,
formerly the amateur heavyweight
champion Of Central West, and Joe
Stangl. the 1o.year-old wonder from
Carroll, la. These men weighed 2l2
and 2l5 pounds respectively They
made a rough and ready scrap OF

within an ace OF scoring fall with

finally ciamped on deadlock that
brought home the bacon and he was
declared the winner in 10 minutes

TO PREVENT CAR THEFTS.
| Hrand Forks, n. D.. April 5-A bill
mas been introduced in the state legis-
iature which, 1t is believed, will pre-
| vent stolen cars from being sold in
| North Dakota. BY its provisions every
dealer In making a sale Of a new car
would furnish to the purchaser a state
ment as to the name of car, place
where made, capacity and number,
kind and number of engine. This
would be signed by the buyer and sci
u
public. Subsequent sales would have
to be accompanied by the original
sales statement.
Used cars for which no previous sale
statement had been furnished would
bear new sale statement from the
seller to the purchaser. and thereafter
the same procedure would obtain. Per-
sons in possession Of cars transferred
