'STECHERDEFEATS
.CADD0Ck; GAINS
WRESTLING F|TLE.
Had Been Agreed That One
Fall Would Decide Match;
WrestIe More Than
Two Hours.

New York, Jan. N.-Joe Stecher
of Nebraska won the heavyweight
wrestling championship at catchas-
catch-can, by debating Earl Cad
dock of Iowa, with a body scissors
and armlock, afteE-more than two
hours of wrestling. Madison Square
| Garden was thronged to it capacity
for the match. Referee George Both
ner started the bout at 9:l8 o'clock.
Stecher had the advantage in
weight and was seemingly about 20
pounds heavier than Caddock. Both
were very cautious at the start and
for 10 minutes simply paved each
| others neck and shoulders.
After wrestling so minutes, Stecher
threw Caddock to the mat with =
side trip and pounced on top, try
| ing for a body scissors. Caddock
twisted out of tight quarters and re-
gained an erect'position cleverly.
Tries for Leg Hold.
Five minutes later Stecher went
down in an attempt for a leg hold,
but Caddock could not keep him
down, and both were on their feet
again in less than a minute. Stecher
then got Caddock underneath with
side roll, but was unable to get any
advantage. A forward body hold
was equally unavailing and both
were on their feet after so minutes
had elapsed. .
An attempt for body scissors by
Stecher with Caddock underneath
was foiled by the Iowa man.
At the expiration of one hours
time, both men were on their feet.
The Precipitation was dripping from
them but neither showed any sign
of weakening.
Stecher picked up his opponent
bodily and threw him to the mat for
another futile effort to obtain a
body scissors. Again Caddock's
wonderful dexterity enabled him to
break free and they resumed up
right positions. They had been
wrestling Is minutes when Caddock
rolled away from another scissors
attack and electrified the crowd by
a double foot hold from behind which
gave him an aggressive position.
They had gone 90 minutes when
Stecher secured a deadlock out of
which Caddock squirmed. Caddock
gave a wonderful exhibition of de-
fcnsive tactics in preventing a body
scissors, and cleverly Offset Stecher's
persistent attack which lasted fully
three minutes.
! In another effort for leg hold,
Stecher showed his strength BY
lifting Caddock bodily, while in a
kneeling position. The match had
then gone one hour and/45 minutes.
While Caddoek conceded 20
pounds in weight to the Nebraskan,
he put up a magnificent battle and
it was not until within five minutes
of the end that his opponent gained
a decisive advantage.
Just before the close of the
second hour, Stecher secured a BODY
scissors and wrist lock after Cad.
dock had made a supreme but futile
effort, to obtain half Nelson. Cad
dock brought the spectators to their
teet when he broke the double
hold as his left shoulder was barely
an inch from the mat for a pin fall.
The effort had, however, appar-
emily exhausted him for moment
later he was again gripped in =
body scissors and this time both his
shoulders went to the mat.
The official time was two hours
flVe minutes and 80 seconds,

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
LOS ANGELES, Calf, Sept. 25.-Ex-
tradition Of Captain William N. Bar
rett from Los Angeles to London to
answer a $150.0oo jewel theft charge
was requested to-day by the British
government through Acting Consul
Best, on information furnished by Sir
Auckland Geddes, British Ambassador
at Washington. United States Com
missioner Long issued warrant for
naaalg accusing Captain Barrett Of en-
5be2shhg o. necklace valued at 100000
from Mrs. John D. Spreckles jr., Of
California.
Meanwhile Captain Barrett is be-
heved to have left Los Angeles with
tlon. Attorney H. L. Geisler, who was
instrumental in obtaining Captain Bar
rett's release from police surveillance,
said tonight he had not seen or heard
from his client since Thursday after
noon. The attorney said Captain Bar
rett made an engagement to meet him
tonight at his Office, but did not make
his appearance, and none of the
avlator's friends were able to tell his
whereabouts.
The warrant granted by Commits
sioner Long found it's way into the
hands of Detective Sergeant Cline, who
held Captain Barrett in virtual custody
for thirtysix hours on suspicion Of
being wanted for the theft, but was
compelled to liberate him for lack of
an official document on which to hold
him.
When the United States Marshals
office received the warrant it was be-
lieved that Cline would be the best
qualified person in Los Angeles to
serve it. Armed with the warrant,
Cline Immediately began to search for
Captain Barrett, but met with no sue
cess, and tonight expressed the belief
that the accused man has left Los An
geles.
According to Acting Consul Best, Mrs.
Spreckels procured the warrant in Lon
don on Thursday. The complaint was
cabled to the British Ambassador in
Washington and communicated by him
to Mr.. Best, who Immediately applied
i to Commissioner Long for the provis-
ional arrest of Captain Barrett, so the
latter might be held here until the ar
rival Of papers from London.
In her complaint Mrs. Spreckels
charges that she intrusted the necklace
to Captain Barrett to take to a London
jeweler to be cleaned and repaired
She believed he had complied with hex
wishes until she called for her necklace
and learned it had not been left with
the jeweler.
While under police surveillance Cap.
tain Barrett seemed undisturbed by the
| insinuation Of theft. With a smile and
wave of his hand he said his only
connection with the disappearance o1
the necklace was to accompany Mrs
| Spreckels to shop in London, where
she sold the jeweled ornament.
