Central High Students
Boosting Game With
South at Rourke Park

A large mass meeting was held in
the Central High school auditorium
Friday morning for the purpose of
| boosting the big game to be staged
Saturday afternoon with the South
Side High. Rourke park will be the
scene OF The gridiron struggle.
Several members of the team
spoke at the meeting. Coach Multi
gan was one of the speakers also,
and in his talk he assured the stu
dents that this would undoubtedly
be the supreme test for the worth Of
the 1919 squad. He also said that it
would depend on this game whether
or not Central High would be sue
cessful o.. the three weeks tour
which takes in teams from Des
Moines. Sioux Falls and Lincoln.
Last year the South Side band OF
warriors trounced the Purple and
White squad for the first time. The
Central High chaps are going to try
to square this by defeating South
High today. The defeat last year
was in the main due to the lack OF
signal practice. Pete Campbell, the
snappy signal caller. has prepared
for this point, and does not expect
| this TO be the weak element of the
Central line.

PESEK DEFEATS
L0ND0S IN TWO
HOURS, rs MIN.
londos Knocked Out by
Pesek Falling on Him
Unable to Continue
for Second Fall.

The Shelton farmer boy has an
swered all his critics by defeating
Jim Londos, as all the managers Of
leading wrestlers have demanded Of
him. Friday night at the Omaha
Auditorium John Pesek pinned the
shoulders of the wonderful little
Greek wrestler, the first fall in two
hours. 26 minutes and 80 seconds.
Londos came into the ring for the
second fall, but when the men had
worked for about one minute Lon
dos manager tossed a towel into
the ring, acknowledging and conced-
ing the second fall
Londos Fouled Repeatedly.
The match was vicious affair all
the way, Londos being the offender
on repeated minor fouls, siapping
Pesek's face time after time and
pushing him off the stage into the
ringside crowd a number of times
He was warned several times, but
the referee allowed the match to
continue to avoid an argument later
that one or the other Of the wres-
tiers was Disseminated against.
The Greek had reverse body
hold on Pesek and tried to lift him
over his head, but failed. Pesek then
made the same effort and he, too,
failed. Then Pesek slipped Londos'
arms little lower on his own body
and pinned them there, lifting Lon
dos bodily and falling over back
wards, landing on top of him. his
head in the Greeks stomach. Lon
dos was clearly knocked out and the
referee tried his hands under the
fallen mans shoulders. finding them
pinned, and slapped Pesek on the
shoulders in token of victory.
Had Vicious Toehold.
At one time Pesek had toehold
on Londos, holding it and bearing
down hard, for at least five minutes.
Though the Greek twisted and
squirmed, he could not get away.
His face showed the agony he was
enduring, but Pesek pressed it on
mercilessly. Londos rolled and
tossed around. but would not allow
his shoulders to be pinned to the mat
nor would he concede the fall

After I Commute rest the men
came back into the ring, and the
second session was started. but Lon
dos was seen to wobble slightly and
his manager, rather than take
chances OF serious injury, tossed the
towel in. Londos wanted to con-

getting him out of the ring.

With a half-nelson and grapevine

event today was the Ashland. in
which the star trotter of the sea-
son, McGregor The Great, met his
only rival, Mariondale, which has
beaten the son of Peter The Great

went away in the lead in the first
heat and won easily. In the second
mile he was under mild drive in
the stretch. but won the third with
much to spare. Best time: 2:06A.
The sensation of today's racing
from a time standpoint came in the
2:05 class for PAGERS, in which Sa-
nardo breezed the first mile in
2:0l34 over slow track and came
back in the second fairly jogging at
the wire in 2:02A. The top heavy
facorite, Prince Lorcs, winner of the
Transylvania, was beaten in the first
heat of the 2:05 class trotting by
Royal Mac, after the pair had come
through the stretch in 29H seconds,

only to instill over-confidence in the

South Dakota, according to
friends of Lynch at the Dakota in
stitution, is represented this year by
the strongest aggregation that has
ever played under the Crimson and
White.
Mills is prepared for the visitors,
no matter what the caliber or con-
dition of their team may be.
Just what men will line up against
South Dakota when the referees
whistle formally opens the season
today is unknown. Not even Mills
is sure just what faces will appear
in his lineup.
John Broz and Bentlage will
probably alternate at center. Frank
Cavanaugh and Mike Healy will
probably start at guards. Bill Mem
EEK and Ole Paulsen will probably
be the tackles.
Clifford Long, Cy Lynch, Frank
Lucas. Mike Driscoll, Bill Adams.

Double Bill at Rourke
Ball Park.

The second double-header in the
series of seven games for the city
championship will be staged al
Rourke park Sunday afternoon, with
both the Murphy-Did-Its and the
Armours determined to take both

around the base ball headquarters
on Fifteenth street is that Hay will
oppose Graves on the mound in the
first battle, and Hoffman and Dyck
will do duty in the second contest,
with Mcclure and Franek in re-
serve in case of necessity.
1t is expected that a good crowd

Pastor Plans Service
To Fans In Ball Park

Uniontown, Pa, Oct l0--In-
stead of antagonizing Sunday base
ball, Rev. Martin G. Snively, pas
tor of the Masontown Brethren
church, sees the opportunity of hav-
ing the fans gather to listen to a
sermon.
The minister has approached the
men who have charge of the Sun
day games in Masontown with the
request that after four and a half in
nings are played, the game be
stopped to allow him to talk for
about 20 minutes, after which the
game can be finished. The pro-
moters of the sport will probably
grant the clergymans request.

Referees Statement.
BY Kid Graves, Sports Editor,
Omaha Bee. Referee of Pesek-
Londos Wrestling Match.

The Pesek-Londos match was
all that the advance notices said
it would be. 1t was a great bat
tie and worthy a better atten-
dance than the comparatively
small crowd that saw the match.
The crowd was fair sized, but for
a match of that kind, it should
have been three times greater.
Pesek won the fail and the
match fairly, despite the criti-
cism of a few of Londos' follow
ers. Londos claimed a fall on
several occasions, when Peseks
shoulders touched the mat, but in
wrestling, pin falls are the only
falls that count. Pesek's shoul-
ders were not pinned at any time
though Londos had him in sew
eral dangerous positions, When
the great little Greek wrestler
claimed a fall, he forced Pesek's
shoulders to the mat. but could
not hold them there long enough
for it to be called a pin fall,
Pesek rolling off the shoulder as
soon as it touched the mat.
Later, at the time that Pesek
had that terrible toe hold, Lon
dos rolled around on the mat,
and had he been granted fall
on his claims, Pesek, likewise
could have been given a fall
when Londos' shoulders rolled
over onto the mat, not once, but
at least three times. The only
real pin fall was when Londos
was knocked out. Even then |
wanted to be certain, and did
not grant the fall until | had
tried my hands beneath the
Greeks shoulders.
In all the 200 or more matches
in which | have officiated, I can
truthfully say that this was prob
ably the most vicious that | have
ever seen. To avoid later argu-
ments | refused to disqualify
Lordos when he repeatedly
fouled Pesek, slapping his face
and pushing him off the mat,
contrary to the rules, but Lon
dos always claimed that he had
been Disseminated against when
he was disqualified for fouling in
a like manner at Shelton a few
years ago. did not want either
man to have a "squawk" because
OF such a decision this time.
Those who saw the match will
not agree with those who may
declare that the result was pre-
arranged. The men were too
grimly determined, and Pesek
won the bout on his merits. 1t
was absolutely no fake"

New York, Oct. l0.-College foot

the playing of several important
games, of which the outcome is
shrouded in doubt. While a major
ity of the larger institutions elevens
are scheduled to face opposing teams
the defeat of which appears to be a

enough uncertainty sprinkled
through the list of contests to add
spice to the early October program.
In many respects the game be-

the day. The Cadets. under the
coaching of Charley Daily, have as
yet to show the strength usually as
sociated with an Army eleven, due
to the green material from which
the soldiers team must be con-

as Pcsek's shoulders were not
pinned to the mat. The Greek came
just as close on two other occasions,
but each time Pesek rolled enough
to save himself from a pin. Some of
the crowd though Londos should
have been awarded a fall on these,
but he did not have his opponent
down. according to the rules of the
game.
The show was opened with one
fall finish match between Tom Ray
and Jess Queen. This was fine
bout, Ray winning the fall in 81
minutes and II seconds. Queen
thought he had a chance to defeat
Ray and asked for a second trial,
saying he could throw Ray in IS
minutes. They went back for sec
cnd fall. but at the end of IS min
utes the match was halted and Ray
declared the winner. Queen gave
him a beautiful battle. but the crafty
Tom was too much for him.
