Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-04-11

With all these fellows wanting a
crack at the weller king, Al Fiori,
Bluffs promoter offers to guarantee
Reynolds six matches in the Council
Bluffs auditorium, providing he wins
each of them. Every time Jack wins
a match another one will be booked
for him to take place within two
weeks until he has had six matches.
One week from Tuesday, Charley
Pesek will get return match with
Adam Kreiger of Lincoln at York,
Neb. Some time ago, Kreiger was
awarded the match on the referees
hasty decision after each had won
fall. This time, the Pesek people
declare there will be no room for
any decision but one, declaring
Charley the winner.
The little old man" of the local
wrestling fraternity, Jack Tolliver,
slipped and fell week ago, throw
ing his left shoulder out of place
causing him to cancel his engage
ment to meet Erwin Carroll at Lin
coin this week. Jack thinks his

will continue training in expecta-
ton of a match with Wladek
Zbyszko at Gordon, Neb. The busi-
ness men of that hustling little
town have offered libby $4,000 to
meet Pesek. The same offer was
made to Stecher and Lewis, but no
response was made by either of
these two, so now they are trying
to get the big Pole.
The manager of the Pesek boys
announced that he would like to
match Charley against Jack Rey-
nolds, the welterweight champion,
when the latter makes his trip
through this state and he will wager
ST. 1000 or as much more as the cham
pion cares to post, that Charley can
beat him. Vernon Breedlove says
he wants another crack at Reynolds
and he will bet some money that he
can pin Reynolds, despite the differ
ence in their weights. Ray Wood
wants crack at Jack, so it looks
like he would have merry old time
If he should come around this neck
of the woods for few matches.

The many local friends of Earl
Peryear, the DENVER bantamweight,
will be pleased to hear that in a
i0-round bout at Peoria, ILL.,, the
other night, he shaded Jack Wolfe,
Jimmy Dunn's Cleveland title con-
tender. Most Of the reports sent
cut were to the effect that the bout
was a good draw but Bee CORE
Spondent at the ringisde wired that
Peryear was clearly entitled to the
shade. Wolfe has been making
great strides in the bantam class
in the past year and getting the

self in demand all over the coun-
try. Earl is fast, clever kid, with
a reasonably good wallop.
The Omaha Western leaguers
held tanning bee in the lobby of
the Rome hotel Wednesday evening.
Various plays and players were dis

proposal of Pa Rourke to take over
an American association franchise if
he could get it. The players Won
dered where the Western league
club would be placed. Some of
them said they'd like to play in Lin

coin, others favored towns further
south, while three or four of them
were in hopes that Prexy Pa would
keep both teams right here in Gina
ha. 1t was the consensus of opinion
that an A. A club would sc sue
cessful here and many seemed to
think that an American association
club and Western league club
could be operated in Omaha with
no great difficulty. They seemed
to think that an League cham
pionship series would be staged
right here in Omaha if the A. A.
club was strong enough to win the
double A. pennant, never doubling
their ability to garner the Western
rag.
The oldest of the Shelton farmer
boys, John Pesek, has two matches

SLATTERY WILL
MATCH PESEK
With J. LONDES
Manager Of Shelton Farmer
Boy Willing to Take on
any OF the Best of
Big Fellows.

Mart Slattery, manager of the
Shelton farmer boy wrestlers, John
and Charley Pesek. promised few
days ago to write en- answer to
Gene Melady's offer to stage a
match between John Pesek and Jim
Londes but said when he would
start letter, he'd get so mad about
it that he'd tear the letter up. He
waited until he came down to
Omaha with the wrestling brothers
when Charley met Barney Burn
ham in the Council Bluffs audi
forum and wrote the letter in his
room at the Paxton hotel and de-
livered it personally. 1t is self-ex-
planatory and is herewith given:
ITO the Sporting Editor of the
Bee: Had proposition to make in
regard to match between John
Pesek and Jim Londes, but will not
make it at this time as | see by the
sport sheet of the Bee that Clarence
Eklund is after Londes hot and
heavy. / personally know that Elk
lund has been trying to get match
with Londas for the last three years
and as l sincerely believe they
would make a great match, do not
wish to do anything that might
prevent them from getting together
and settling their controversy of
long standing.
Gordon, Nebraska, little sand
hill town with perhaps 1000 popula-
ton, has offered $4,000 purse for
match between Pesek and
Zbyszko. They have picked out
libby for this match, because at the
present time he appears to be the
best man in the country, at least dur
ing Earl Craddock's absence abroad.
Il have already accepted the terms
for Pesek and | told the Gordon cat
tlemen who are trying to stage the
show, that if Zbyszko did not feel
that it would be worth while for
him to come out and wrestle on a
percentage basis, that Pesek would
wrestle him, winner take all. This

SHAG THOMPSON
Joins RANKS OF
ROURKES ON HAND
Entire Team Pulling for Owner
to Put Over Association Deal
Even I'LL Means They Will
Have to Leave Omaha.

Starting last Monday, the Rourkcs
ball club began dragging in until
now nearly all the players are OH
hand. Shag Thompson arrived yes
terday morning, giving Manager
Jackson a full outheld. The rainy
weather has prevented the team
from working on the field for the,
last couple of days, but they have
been tossing the pill under the
grandstand and their arms are pref
~ well loosened up. Bill expects to
have linup of regulars to oppose
the Armours, whom they meet in
their first practice game Sunday.
When Bill Jackson first landed in
town he promised that he would
( furnish Omaha with hitting ball
club, and, Judging from the early
work Of the bunch on hand, he will
do it. Every one of the boys, even
the pitchers, are laying on the bal,
right heartily. and they smack it to
all corners of the old ball yard
Mack. Bashang. Donica and Thomp-
son haven't had chance to get any
batting practice yet, but they are all
noted clouters, and the rest of the
bunch show signs of being heavy
clubbcrs. The fielding, even at this
early date, is pretty nearly perfect.
There are few misplays made by the
inhelders.
New Infelders.
The two new infielders, Cable and
Kranda, gobble up everything that
comes within any reasonable dis
tance of them, and when they get
their fingers around ball it doesn't
get away from them until they
throw it. Their throwing thus far
has been par excellent. Jackson, at
first, hasn't had to move a step to
set any of their throws. Cable slaps
the pill down on them at second
after Corderman or Hale make the
throws to catch base stealers. Both
catchers get the ball away quick and
il lands just at the right height
when it reaches Cable at second.

Amy, Navy and Civilian
Boxing Control Board
Faces Difficult Problem
B.y lack VEIOCK.

International News Sports Editor.
New York, April l0.--The newly
formed army, navy and civilian
board of boxing control has appar-
emily bitten off too big an assign
inent.
True, the board is parading an i'm
posing array of sponsors, from
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood on down
the line to a number of we'll known
college presidents. Yet just how
the board hopes to acquire control
Of the fstic game is difficult to
fathom.
Apparently. those who were re-
sponsible for the formation figured
that the lining up of number of
leaders in army. navy and civilian
life was all that was necessary to
put it across, and there is not the
shadow of doubt that its purposes
are to be lauded and that its aims
will work for the good OF the game.
But the sponsors of the new or
ganization pulled palpable boner
when they attempted to wish them
selves into power as the dictato-s
of nationwide boxing without TAX
ing the active men in the game into
consideration.
No one man can be pointed to as
the maker of boxing in this or any
other country. The game is so old
that in tracing its origin into the
hazy past there is plenty of room
for argument over who was original
" responsible for its inception.
In the United States there are
hundreds of men who keep boxing
to the fore as a major sport, and
they all act independently Of one
another. The closest tie that binds
the many active participants in the
game together is the code set down
BY Lord Queensberry, which is uni
versally accepted.
For this reason the new boxing
board apparently has tough row
to hoe, for aside from the apparent
futility in attempting to dictate to
individual boxers, let alone the hun
dreds of promoters and managers
who run their own business affairs
and spend their own money, not a
single boxer or manager and not a
promoter has been called into the
council of the board.
Having organized and obtained a
charter under the laws of the state
Of New York, the board will have to
60 out and try its hand at lining up
the numerous clubs, athletic organ
ixations. promoters and the boxers
themselves. Its work as an organ
ixation is only begun, and it may
succeed

Cubs Win Easy Game.

Phoenix. Ariz., April lO.-The
Chicago Cubs on their training tour
had no difficulty winning from the
Great War Veterans Base Ball team
here today. 7 to 2. A capacity crowd
saw the game, in which Vice Presi-
dent Thomas r. Marshall pitched
the first ball, which Governor
Campbell failed to catch. The Cubs
lett tonight for Tuscon, where they
are scheduled to play tomorrow.

goes to show that John is not pick
ing the easy ones.
Il understand that Earl Caddock
will be back in the states in the near
future and that he will defend his
title against any man in the world,
Will he wrestle John Pesek? If so,
I'll post 81 500, and Pesek will wres-
tie. winner take all. Caddock and
Pesek are OF about the same weight,
both fast as lightning; know the
game from A to lizard and undoubt
eddy would make the greatest wrest-
ling match of all time.
ITS up to Mr.. Melady; let's give
the public real run for their money.
Pesek is ready.

Two more Rourke players, Otto
Merz and Harry Donica, blew into
town Wednesday night and reported
to Manager Jackson and Pa Rourkc
that they were ready for the pre-
season workouts.
Both players looked to be in good
form physically and each said he
anticipated no great trouble in
rounding into playing condition with
couple of days work. They will
throw the ball around with the bal
ance of the team under the grand
stand at Rourke park today. The
