With the signing of Joe Stecher
and Ed Stranger Lewis for a finish
match in Omaha on July 4, Omaha
is assured of an athletic event that
will rival the Toledo heavyweight
championship boxing match in in
terest to the sporting public.
The managers of the men read
the original articles presented by
Promoter Gene Melady and refused
to put their signa lures to them until
a number of changes had been made.
Since the changes were Of the sort
that would make a better show of it,
Melady agreed and the new set of
agreements were typed by Miss
Rose Bloom, worlds amateur cham
pion stenographer and signed by
Billy Sandow for Lewis and Anton
Stecher for Joe.
The signatures were witnessed by
the sporting editor of The Bee, the
sorting editor of the News and Carl
Mar6si. ,Sandow accepted an offer
of $3.50 for his end, if Lewis wins,
from JACK Curley and Carl Marfsi.
The men will wrest1e for a purse OF
so per cent Of the gross receipts on
a winner-take-all basis. Should
Lewis win, he will get S., 800 and
Curley and Mar6si will take 90 per
cent of the receipts, standing to win
or lose considerable sum.
Late Thursday evening. Meiady
announced that the match would be
held in the Omaha Auditorium, since
no other place that would conform
to the agreement was available. It
was stipulated in the articles that
the show must be staged in an arena
seating at least 5000 persons.
The men must agree upon q ref-
cree at least 48 hours before the
contest or the promoter will have
the authority to select the official.
Gene stated yesterday that he had
already made arrangements for the
printing of the tickets and they
would be placed on sale at the earli-
est possible moment.

LEONARDHAS
NOT met ALL
CHALLENCERS
fIas Not Boxed Tender or
yelling, Neither Of Whom
Have Any Chance
of Bout.

New York, June l4.-With the
possible exception of Lew Tender
the sensational young Philadelphian
and the hard hitting Joe yelling
OF Chicago, Benny Leonard, worlds
lightweight champion, has defeated
every other challenger for his title.
At the present time there seems to
be no likelihood OF a match being
arranged between either of tho
above aspirants and Leonard and
the fans here are making it a spe-
cialty at differing as to its reasons.
The chief objection in both eases,
it is believed, is the weight qucs-
ton. The champion, it is reported,
will not, under any circumstances,
box any one under any poundage
less than 1873 pounds ringside, which
Is quite right, and Tender, WHO
stands out to be more formidable
opponent than Yelling, and who
never scales more than 1872 pounds
when in real form, believes If he
agreed to concede that weight to
Leonard it would be too much of
an advantage against him. so he
isn't in any mood for this bout
just now. yelling, on the other
hand, would gladly box the cham
pion at that weight, but for an
unfriendly feeling which exists be-
tween the latter and Billy Gibson,
manager Of Leonard. all offers were
and are declined for this match.
coogan Would Meet Champ.
However, another boxer who
would gladly accept an opportunity
to meet Benny Leonard is Mel
Coogan, the boxer Of Brooklyn.
The latter holds referee decisions
over such men as frankie Callahan,
Richie Mitchell, Vincent Pokorni,
Barney Adair and Pete Hartley, and
is boxing in prime form now. Scotty
Monteith manages Coogan, and al
thought he believes Coogan will
never whip Leonard, he is of the
opinion his protege would give the
title holder plenty of trouble while
on his feet.

THE NEWER WAR

This country may just as we'll be
deciding what 1t will do with the Boil
sheyik agitators when they show their
hand in this country.
In old times 1t was customary to
kill as promptly as possible those
who attempted to overthrow the gov
eminent. Lately, In the United
States that class of people have been
actually encouraged to preach. crate
aud proselyte without hindrance.
The issue before the world is al
ready more serious than the war. The
ignorant, the slothful and the easily
misled the world over have found oui
that they are strong in numbers.
The clash has taken place in Rus
STA and the Bolsheviki are so far vic
torious. They have been able to
seize the possessions OF those who
were thrifty enough to save little.
The middle class has been the one
that has suffered worst and is now
starving to death BY the million.
From Russia the disease has spread
to Germany, Austria, Italy and Eng
land. This country is infected but as
yet to less serious extent.
The war has been an awful struggle
but there is bigger and harder one
ahead We are living on the edge OF
great events. 1t is good time to be
alive II one is unafraid.
The world has conquered the hosts
of military Prussianism, but the
Prussianism OF greed still stalks the
earth Too many folks are scheming
for more than their share. &
The rich ana the privileged have.
stirred the hatred Of other classes by
taking SO much as to excite the envy
Of the multitude. They still seek to
hold the best places in the sun.
They have opposition. Another
stratum of human society maddened
by ignorance, in impotence, poverty
and. misfortune have been listening
to theS doctrines of class hatred
The ~ e been told that they can
get wealth and ease and comfort aud
leisure and happiness BY revolutions
airy system and that they do not need
the old virtues-thrift, patience. in
dustry and temperance. They have
been lied to and woefully deceived but
that does not change their conviction.
Greed in all its manifold forms
takes the place OF Prussianism IS
the enemyaef mankind.
The conflict is so mighty so
Worldwide and. at the same time, SO
near thatit grows daily more difficult
to gain fair perspective.
This newer war will end only by
complete aconauest--the conquest of
the greed, jealousy and hatred that
! infect the human heart and corrode
the human Intellect.
When the wealth and power of the
world was gathered into few hands
there was not much visible strife
The poor and the miserable merely
plodded their way along to oblivion.
Now withtthe other extremity pre-
pairing to take control 1t is done with
murder. rapine and ibloodshed. The
leaders Of the ignorant and depraved
are unable TO curb the passions of
their followers
