^Charlie Hanson and Pesek Sign to WrestleFinish Match in Omaha Mat Contest Will Be Held Here Feb. 27th Grapplers Will Tanglt* in Fin ish Match on Winner Take-All Plan; Post t Forfeits. By RALPH WAGNER. UK long-looked for wrestling match between Charley Hansen of Oma ha and John Pe sek of Ravenna, N e b., will he staged at the au ditorium on Fri day evening, Feb. 57, This was de rided Wednesday afternoon when Hansen and Max well Baumann, manager of Pe KTAOINSIIRDLU sek, signed a con tract to wrestle. The match will be contested under the rules of the Nebraska state ath letic commission which calls for two falls out of three. The winner of jjll'he match, however, will take all of ” the purse money as both parties agreed to wrestle on a wlnner-take-al! basis. The purse for the contest will he for $5,000 and 60 per cent of the gross receipts of the house after the state tax of 5 per cent Is deducted. Baumann and J. W. Elwood, repre senting Hansen, ecah posted a $1,000 forfeit binding the match. •lake Isaacson, promoter for the American Legion ami the writer were the witnesses. The American Legion will promote the ronteat. The signing of Hansen and Pesek ended a three-year campaign on the part of both parties to land a match. Each time they came to gether some trouble over terms bobbed up and one or the other re fused to sign. Wednesday, how ever, Promoter Isaacson made plain to each wrestler that if they would sign a contract to wrestle the Le glon would promote the contest. Contracts were handed both Han sen and Baumann and after two nr three hours of verbal battle each party asked for pen ami ink and signed on the dotted line, thus this announcement this morning. When Hansen meets Pesek it will he the first match the former has engaged In since he beat McGill at Ak-Sar-Ben field three years ago. Following his match with McGill, Hansen went into retirement because of his physical condition. He has fully recovered now. however, and is ready to start a campaign which he ^ hopes will lend him a match with the •"^champion, ' Big'’ Munn. Pesek has been wrestling oftep. Only Tuesday night he wrestled one Tony Itobelish In a finish match at Hastings, easily defeating his oppo nent. Pesek Is at his home at Ra venna and when told last night that he had been matched with Hansen for Omaha said that he was glad he had been given a chance to wrestle Hanien In the latter’s home town. Pesek lias for several years been known to followers of the game as the "policeman" of the so-railed wrestling "trust.” Hansen believes that if he can throw the “police man he (Hansen) will he a step nearer a match with tile champion. .
