Melady in Emphatic Denial
Of Champions Retirement
Manager Says Caddock Is Still in the Game and Will
Meet any and All Chaengers Upon His Return
From France IN

An emphatic and complete denial
of Earl Caddock's retirement from
the wrestling game was made yes
terday by the champions manager,
Gene Me1ady. The refutation Of the
persistent rumor follows an offer
from Jack Curley of $4,000 for a
match between Caddock and
Zbyszko upon the soldier cham
pion's return from France. Curley
proposes one-fall finish match and
the above sum is to be Caddock's
win or lose.
The Omaha manager stated en-
phatically that there was no truth in
the rumor that Caddock would re-
: tire. AS the party handling the
business affairs of the combination,
Melady says he would certainly be
The first to be informed of the
wrestler's quitting the game and he
has had no such word. "The pur-
pose of these reports is obvious and
needs no explanation" says Gene.
The following is a statement is
sued by Melady:
II have read some of the newspa-
per reports containing the informa-
ton that Caddock had retired from
the wrestling game. l wish to state
that no one has any authority to
make statement to this effect.

Even though defeated in jig time

There will be no great difference
in the weights in tonight's mat event,
for the Belmond boy has agreed to
weigh less than 1870 pounds and
Breedlovc is we'll below that weight.
Vernon usually weighs about Us
pounds in championship match, BUT
says he will be a couple>of pounds
above that figure when he steps onto
the pad this evening. He also lost

JOHN PESEK HAD
TELEGRAM FROM
dead" BROTHER
Youngest Of Wrestling Family
Reported Killed in Action
Wires Family From
Newport News, Va.

There was reason in plenty why
John Pesek could NOT lose in his
match with John Freberg, the
Swedish champion, at the Auditor
ium last Friday night. Besides the
usual confidence he always displays,
the Shelton farmer had some news
few days before the mat show Of
the most cheering kind and, accord
ing to his own story, it would have
taken superman to beat him that
night.
There are three brothers in the
Pesek family, all pretty good wrest-
lers. John is, of course, the star of
the family, but Charles is considered
pretty good middleweight and the
third brother, Hubert. was a very
good mat performer before he en-
listed in the army. While stationed
at Camp Cody Hubert was easily
the camp champion. He was at
tached to the 125th infantry, which
outfit was sent overseas and took
part in most of the big battles of the
war. This regiment went lover the
top IS times, and the younger
Pesek was with them each time.
Saw Him Fall.
A shelton lad, comrade of Pc
sek's, saw him fall on the battle
field, and upon arrival home Con-
hrmed the telegraphic report that
the family had received from the
War department that Hubert had
been killed in action on October II.
The government insurance papers
were sent to the Pesek> home and
everyone thought that the younger
brother was really dead and the
family mourned him as such. John,
the elder brother, was a great pal
with Hubert and the news nearly
broke him up. Then, TO the sur
prise of everyone, "bunkie' sent a
telegram to the Shelton family
stating that the soldier lad was in
Newport News, Va, with his outfit,
which had just landed. A few
hours later the mother received a
telegram from her son.
Tears OFF Gold Star.
The next day, the government no.
tilted the Peseks that a mistake had
been made and the young man was
still alive, though he had been badly
wounded on the field of battle.
Brother John made haste to tear
the gold star from the window of
the home and despite the suffering
caused by boils under his arms, tore
into his wrestling partner, Clarence
Ecklund and wound up his training
for the Omaha match at great speed.
I On Tuesday. a Shelton doctor
lanced the boils and drew the core
from the worst one and by Friday
night John Pesek was i'll fine shape
for his match which was to prove
him a "blsomer" or one Of the
worlds greatest wrestlers. Going on
the mat that night, the big fellow
said Freberg could not beat him if
he had dozen derricks and fans
thought it was just the great con-
fidence he had in his own ability
that caused the statement, but it was
really because his little brother and
pal was going to come home after
he had been given up for dead.

authentic. However, it is my belief
he will soon be released and when
he returns he will wrestle any and
all challengers for his championship
crown. Emphatically, Caddock has
not retired and is still the unde-
teated champion heavyweight Of the
world"
The runor of the title holders
retirement gained its greatest Gre
dence when it was announced from
the ring at the, recent Zbyszko-
Lewis match in New York City that
the men were wrestling for the
heavyweight championship on &C
count of the retirement Of Caddock
1t is not at all unlikely that Earl will
turn the offer of Zbyszko match
down with the vast sum offered for
the bout, but he will probably de-
mand time enough to visit with his
family for time before he goes
into strict training for the match.

SO great a success in Chicago that
for the second time his engagement
has been extended, the San Carlo
Grand Opera company being dis
placed from the Studebaker theater
in order that Mr.. Post might con-
tinue his run without interruption.
Mr.. Post, who is we'll known here,

come to him and his producer, Mr..
Tully, has proved his good judg-
ment i'll the selection of this play

possibly reach this city before the
end of the season unless the Chicago
public continues to demand that it
remain in that city.

headline feature at the Orpheum
this week are occasioned by her
song and monologue, I Amt Coin

variety of coon songs, each of
them scoring a decided hit. The
popular bill includes a concert fea-
ture of unusual merit, the playing
of the Belgian 'cellist, Elsa Ruegger.
Another featured act is the one -act
play, 1.-TWO Sweethearts," with Lee
Kohlmar playing the chief role.

ST. JOSEPH CLUB
WILL Be MOVED TO.
ANOTHER TOWN.
Owner HanIon Says Missouri
City Won't Support a Ball
) Team; Rumored That
Lincoln Gets Franchise.

ST., Joseph, March 25.-(Special
Telegram. )-St. Joseph will not have
a Western league base ball club this
year unless some other team than
Edward J. Hanlon's is located here.
Hanlon was in town today in con-
ference with his attorney, G. L.
Zwick, and said that arrangements
had been virtually completed for the
transfer of his team. He declined to
say where the team is going, but
the inference was that Lincoln had
landed it.
The Hanlon players have been or
dered to assemble in St. Joseph
April s for spring training at League
Park and will remain here until the
openingNo the season. Hanlon said
that the park in the city to which
he will remove. will not be ready
until early in May.
Cory Dolan, manager of the team,
is now in Excelsior Springs, and will
remain there until next week, when
he will come to St. Joseph. Charley
Hunter, business manager OF the
club, will come here soon to look
after the training details.
1t IS possible that several exhibit
ton games will be played here be-
fore the team leaves, although dates
are not certain. One major league
team Cancelled two games with the
Hanlon aggregation, because they
considered the situation in St. Jo-
carl, hevoud /reroyerv
Hanlon has already signed up
most OF his players, he said today.
Those whose names are attached to
contracts are:
Bluejacket, Muller, Brubaker,
Watson, Kirkham, Bachant, Nc
Iaughlin, Luschen, Braunigan, Kir-
by, Rose and several new men
whose names Hanlon refused to di
svulge at present.
While Lincoln men will have
money interested in the team, Han
Ion will retain the greater part of
the stock and will continue to be
the main guy. He said this morn
ing regarding the, St. Joseph con-
dition:
There has been no attempt made
here to display any willingness to
support team this season, and |
am unwilling 10 finance an adver-
Using and civic proposition for St.

MINER IS NOW
ABLET0 EAT ham
FOR BREAKFAST
Eats Square Meal for First
Time in Eight Years;
Praises TanIac.

Cup to the time l got this Tafflac,"
said Noah E. Blair, a we'll known
miner, living on R. F. D. No. s,
Peoria, 81 had not been able to eat
square meal in eight long years
on account of the condition of my
stomach, but now / can eat any,
thing and feel like making up for
lost time. x.
II had lived on such things as
toast, milk and cereals so long that
l hated the sight of them, and, yet,
if ventured to eat meats. potatoes
or any substantial foods, I would
almost die from pain in and about
my stomach. The gas from my stom-
ach would get up into my chest and
cause such awful pains and press
ure about my heart that I could
hardly get my breath, and I was
alarmed sometimes for fear my
breath would stop entirely. Then
my kidneys got all out of fix and if
a mule had kicked me in the small
of my back it couldn't have hurt
me much worse. When l leaned over
to pick up anything, I couldn't
straighten up without just suf-
fering agonies. had to lay off
many a day from my work on ac-
count of my condition, and my mis-
cry was so great that life was a
burden to me. was very much dis
couraged and told my wife that I'M
less l got relief pretty soon would
be past all hope of recovery.
eff you could see all the prescrip-
lions l had filled and all the medi-
cine bottles l had emptied without
finding anything to help me you
wouldn't wonder at me feeling dis
couraged. But like a man in so much
misery will do, I was ready to try
anything there was a chance of get
ting a little help, from if nothing
more. Well, l will always be thank
full that Tanlac came AWAY. The
very first bottle convinced me that
it was what + needed. So I-stuck
right to it, and it has brought me
right back to where / am sound
just like l was eight years ago. My
appetite soon came round all right,
and l couldn't begin to tell how
good my first regular meal-the
first square meal I had eaten in
eight years - tasted. Meal time
comes too slow for me now, and /
can eat just anything I ever could
without q particle of trouble from
it. I can eat ham and eggs for
breakfast in place of toast as |
used to, and can do as much work
in a day as l ever could. My back
has stopped hurting me entirely,
and my kidneys are working like
new and l feel perfectly well all
over. The man who got Tanlac up
surely knew his business and would
like to thank him personally for the
medicine that has given me back my
health"
