JOE STECHER
GREAT WRESTLER
Still Worlds Champion and Very
Likely to Remain Such Until
He Has Long, Gray
Whiskers.

| [By Henry L. Farrell, United Press
Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK. April 17.-Joe Stech.
er is still the worlds wrestling cham
pien. and he probably will be for
quite while.
When the Nebraska farmer threw
Ed Stranger" Lewis. famous inven.
tor OF the deadlock, last night, in
three hours and four minutes, he
practically swept the field clean Of
serious opposition.
Unless some prodigy of the mat
mounts the ladder, Stecher may still
be holding the title when he has long,
gray whiskers.
Since he won the title from Earl
Caddock, early last winter, Steche-
has been called the 1920 Gotch"
and also the horseshoe champ"
Those who question his right to
walk around in the shoes of the old
champions probably will become con-
vinced now that he stands just as
high as the monarchs Of the mat in
the past generation.
An analysis Of the bout last night
shows the relative merits of the
champion and the grappler who has
been rated as his nearest rival.
Stecher had Lewis on tho mat
thirty-five times for total of TWEEN
ty-six minutes while he was there
Twenty-Five times for total of
twenty-five minutes. Lewis head
lock is rated as the most furnishing
hold OF any wrestler, yet Stecher
broke it fourteen times, five Of them
in the last three minutes.
Lewis got away from Stecher's
forte, the scissors hold, three times.
but the fourth time he succumbed
after he had been picked up bodily
and hurled to the mat.
With the possible exception Of Earl
Caddock, the champion is the most
scientific wrestler in the ring today.
He has worked his scissors holds up
to uncanny perfection, and he has de.
veIoped a pair of legs which have
been the downfall Of every aspirant
for the championship.
Stecher is young and hard work
err He Is a cool worker. His expert
ence is making him good general
with 1t all. ...
The championship is well worth all
the labor and punishment required to
hold it. From financial standpoint.
Stecher is getting more out of his
title than Jack Dempsey. The fight
champions get big money for matches
few and far between. The wrestlers
get smaller stipend. but the days
of the week are the only limit TO the
number of matches they can secure
Stecher, it is understood, will be
one Of the troupe of athletes that is
to make the tour of the country with

No Road
Blindness With
Cadillac Lamps
New DETECTION Principle Proves
to Be Valuable Night
Safety Device.

Engineers Of the Cadillac No,
tor Car Company claim that they
have removed the greatest danger
OF night driving glare
by means OF the Cadillac fitting
reflector.
The fitting is done through a
simple arrangement of rods, con.
trolled by the driver with Z ever
on the steering column. A short
movement Of the deflector con-
centrates on the road, Is feet
ahead Of the car, the light which
is normally projected over 800
feet OF road.
The DETECTION brings the rays
of light below the level OF the eye
OF an approaching driver. The
movement is so small, and the
controlling device so simple, that
1t requires no adjustment after
leaving the factory.
Under any system Of light dimi
mutton, the driver, after diminish
ing his lights, is forced to drive
blindly for few moments until
his eyes have adapted themselves
to the new conditions During
the moments of this optical re-
adjustment, he is not able to judge
distance or objects accurately. In
an emergency this condition is
apt to be serious menace. which
is entirely removed by the Cadil-
lac lamp.
