TEAM STANDINGS

The Community Center Basket
,all league will close its season with
his weeks games. and for the sec
md time Central Parks strong quin-
et has won the championship. With
out single defeat during the sea-
son, the lads from the northwest dis
riot have conclusively demonstrated
heir superiority over the. other
cams in the circuit. Although given
hard battles by South Side and Cas-
,elar in the early games of the sea-
son, the Central Park team so I'M
proved by the second round that
.hey swamped all opposition.
A tie may result for second place,
as South Side and Clifton Hill have
each won the same number of games,
and unless one of the two teams
loses this week. play-off will be
necessary. Expulsion of CASTELAR,
from the league for unsportsmanlike
conduct gives opponents of this team
credit for a victory in every case
where a game was scheduled during
the past three weeks. 49,.

Notes From Sport World

A few local wrestling fans, very
few, have whispered that there was
something wrong with the Pesek-
Freberg match Friday night, that it
was fixed affair for Pesek to win.
The sporting editor of The Bee was
the official timekeeper at the Audi
forum, for all the bouts and was
sitting at one of the corners, along
side of the ring. He declares every
match on the card was absolutely
on the level and each contestant was
trying all the time. Fans .on the
south side of the arena, perhaps,
could not see the agonized express
sion on Freberg's face when the
Shelton man clamped the toe hold
down for the first fall, but those on
the north side could see that the
Swede either had to concsde the fall
or have the muscles of his leg torn
loose. Pesek had Freberg's leg
across his thigh and was bearing
down numerically.
The winner of the lightweight
championship bout, the second on
the card, Friday night, Clarence
Ecklund of Buffalo, Wyo., the title
holder, wishes to issue a challenge
to the three Nebraska wrestlers
that he has not yet met. They are
Charlie Peters, Joe Stangl and big
Bill Dristy. Each of these fellows
outweigh Ecklund, but he is willing
to concede the weight to get
Omaha daily bee., 1919-03-23

match with any of those men. He
has wrestled all the light heavies
and heavyweights in Nebraska but
these three and only twice has he
been defeated. Joe Stecher beat
him and John Pesek defeated him
one.
One of the legislators of Idaho,
where a boxing bill was recently
passed, DR.. Emma F. A. Drake, gave
as her reason for voting for the pas
sage of the bill that she had son
growing up and she wanted him to
grow up a real man and not a
mollycoddle and she saw her chance
to give him the opportunity when
she was elected to public office. She
had the moral and voting support of
every other woman in the Idaho
house, for they all voted favorably
for the bill.
President of Harvard college. low
ell, urges a wider participation in
all athletics and speaks very favor
ably of boxing. DR.. Lowell said that
athletics had been too long an OBJ
ject of attention, that men were not
taking part in them as they should,
that men, especially the younger ele-
ment, should take hold of athletics
in general and make it part of their
daily work, running, wrestling, box
ing or some other sport that would
inject the love of life in their blood.
