PLestina q Self Confessed
 Faker, Says Noted Mat Star

eral grand jury for his part in the deal in 1910 and sentenced to 15 months in the federal penitentiary at Fort Leav- enworth. My participation in wrest- ling has always been on the level and wouldn't lower myself to meet such man again. I have met Plestina on two occasions. at Lincoln. Neb., in 1914. and again in Omaha in 1917, and de- feated him both times.
 What about Plestina's charge that a wrestling trust existed into the chosen ing heavyweights was the interroga- | tion.
 That is perfectly absurd. Wrestlers come and go and it is ridiculous for a man to conceive such an idea" was the reply Stecker hurled back as quick as a flash. T wish a commission modelled after that which regulates boxing in states where it is allowed was formed. It would increase the popularity of the game beyond description and would be a big help to all concerned. These mo- torious fakers going around footing their horns give people the impression that all wrestling bouts are framed. Marsh's reputation is well known and consequently the black eye the game has received in many parts of the coun- try
 'As long as I have been mixed up in wrestling I have never been impli- cated in a crooked deal. and I will swear to this on stack of Bibles. When I was youngster my mother and father, God bless them, continually preached to me to be honest, and have always tried to follow their ad- vice.
 You can say for me that if Plestina sewers diplomatic relations with Marsh and the inducements are worth while, will meet him any time he is ready. This business of buncoing the public may go for a while, but they will get wise to you sooner or later. My repu- tation means more to me than all of the money in the world. I admire Lin coin. for his words: You may fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time
 q could have been a millionaire to- day if I bet on my bouts but I have refrained from this, as it not only hurts the game, but-leads to the belief that a wrestler is crooked. Only twice have I bet on my prowess, and on those occasions l was forced to wager s200 and $500, respectively. However, I gave the best that was in me and collected. Never since have I placed a bet on my chances. I am bitterly op- posed to it.
 "All of this money P1estina claims to be willing to put up blind match with me is nothing more than stage money. Ask to see the color of it, and he is 1 not at home. All the money in the | world couldn't win my consent to op- pose him on the mat, with Marsh guiding his destinies.'
 which do you consider the hardest bout of your career?"
 "The one in which Strangler Lewis and I fought for five hours without either being able to gain fall, at Omaha, Neb.. on July 1, 1916."

CHIEF BENDER DID NOT STEAL SIGNALS,
 SAY HIS FRIENDS
Moran Did Not Take Indian on Bench to Learn Signs of Opposing Team
 Says MatthewsOn

Chicago, December --(Special)-- Christy Mathewson, writing of the re- cent world series, in which the Cincin- nati Reds annihilated the Chicago White Sox, does not credit the report that Chief Bender successfully stole Chicago signals and therefore assisted the Redlegs materially in winning the worlds title Mathewson Is warm personal friend of the Indian pitcher and what Big six says of the matter will carry much weight among those who know him and believe in his in- herent honesty.
 q have never been able to believe that Manager Moran took Bender on the bench for the purpose of stealing signals, said Matty. 'I never could quite believe that Bender was the wiz ard at signal stealing that some writ CTS are wont to credit him with being, because l have always believed Chief Bender to be a real smart ball player and a fair one, too.
 Bender is a student of baseball and deeper student than many fans and writers are willing to admit. His pres ence on the bench or the coaching lines would naturally mean much to a ball club, for have never met a player who could grasp situations as quickly as the Indian. Because he does grasp situations quickly. however, it does not follow that he should be catalogued as a sharpshooter. nor should his motives be impugned until it is proven that he does actually steal signals"
 What Matty says of Chief Bender seems to tally perfectly with Connie Mack's estimate of the Indian. If 1 had one ball game to win l would rather have Bender pitch it for me than any Qther pitcher I have ever seen" said Mack. Then the Athletic boss ex- piained that Bender always seemed to be able to get the dope on the opposi- ton without being suspected of hav- ing gained any valuable information.
 Matty says from what he can learn Benders task on the bench with the Cincinnati club during the series was to advise with Moran and to give the Cincinnati hurlers some information on the hitting ability of the various mem bers of the White Sox as he remem- bered it. Bender has played against nearly all of the Chicago team and he could find plenty to inform the Redleg hurlers about without trying to ob- tain or give out anything of an under hand nature.

BIG FIGHT MAY BE
 POSTPONED YEAR
Little Chance of Dempsey and Carpenter Getting
 Together Soon

There seems very little likelihood that Jack Dempsey. heavyweight champion of the world, and George Carpenter who won the European title Thursday. will meet before December, 1920, Both Carpenter and Dempsey favor putting off the fight as long as possible. Dempsey is tied up with moving picture contracts and although he states that he is willing to let them slide for an opportunity of defending his title in a bout with the Frenchman, Jack Kearns. his manager. looks at the matter in a different light.
 Carpenter is perfectly willing to wait a year before he tackles Dempsey. A caoie dispatch came from Paris bear ing the information that Nj. Deschamps, the Frenchnan's manager. had stated that Carpenter would not consider q bout With the worlds champion before December. 1920, and that the bout must take place at the Olympia in Paris.
 Regardless of the statement made by NJ. Deschamps, the air is still full of offers for the bout. William A. Brady, Billy Brady that was, is the latest to come to the bat and make an offer for the big bout. The old generation of fight fans will remember that Billy Brady, now one of the most prominent American theatrical managers in the country. was formerly much connected with the prize ring game. He was the manager of Jim Corbett. Jim Jeffries and other. equally well known boxers. For more than 20 years Brady has had only passing interest in the sport. That he is able to put over the bout no one for a moment will doubt, and at the present time his offer is the ono that sounds like the real thing to thd American heavyweight champion.
 1t is understood that Brady repre- sents Charles E. Cochran. the English fight promoter. who is the manager of the Holborn Stadium, the ring in which Carpenter defeated Beckett, Brady is standing behind the offer and that is the reason why it looks so attractive to the American champion and his man ager
 Not that Dempsey is anxious to fight in England. Jack kearns, who is as shrewd a manager as one can find would rather see the battle take place in any other country in the world. Not that he objects to England. Unfortu- nately. the war and other taxes are ex- ceedingly heavy in Great Britain and the British government would take a pretty penny out of Dempseys end of the purse, This tax would be so heavy that Dempsey would be decidedly bet ter off with smaller purse in either the Unted States or France.
 A syndicate of Portland, Ore. has come to the bat with bid of $l00,000 for a battle next June.

 World Smiles Again

Ask a former dyspeptic who tried the Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets plan what wonderful relief they afford. ln- stead. of the grouchy bowl of soup at home and the abject terror at the, sight of good things to eat at party supper, the soup spoon has been replaced by the knife and fork. This comes from giv- ing the digestive processes required as sistance. These tablets digest food. They stimulate natural digestive secre- tions. Thus the food keeps on digest ing. doesn't lie in the stomach to sour and create all sorts of dstresses. And they act as soon as they enter the stom : ach, hence relief even in dyspepsia may be looked for almost at once.
 If you have been troubled with gas siness sour stomach, water brash, heaviness after eating and such troubles. try these tablets. You will find Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets on sale in any drug store in the United States and Canada.

son. was elected to captain the BirminS-' am-Southern gridiron aggregation next year at meeting of the football squad last night at the Y. M C. A.
 Lewis made an extraordinary record during the season just closed and should be at his best when he leads the Pan thers on the field for the initial encounter next fall.
 The captain-elect is a charging back and circles ends we'll On the defensive he was one of the best in the Panther back field Lewis also punted for the Panther aggregation during the past sea son and held his own with practically ali of his opponents. His bunting ability unknown until this year. aided materially in every Panther game this fall
 Lewis was almost unanimously elected to this honor by his teammamtes when they met for the purpose between halves in the basketball game last night at the Central Y. M. C. A. Practically the en- tire squad of this year will return to the fold next season to uphold the Cold and Black on the gridiron. Levie tcap- tain) and Baty will graduate this spring. and it is thought that these two men will be the only ones to fail to answer roll call when the 1920 seasons rolls around.
 The football schedule for the lasq sea son is being completed by the Panther officials. several of the most important games having been secured The tenta- tive schedule will probably be announced in the near future.
