WieldinQ
By FRED S. HUNTER.
T" HIS business of bidding bug
seems to have bitten its way in
to the wrestling ranks. The Willard
Fulton fight having been knocked
down to the highest bidder, along
comes an auction block stunt for the
Stecher-Caddock wrestling match.
Cedar Rapids has offered $40,000,
Jack Curley has gone up to SL50.000
ior xew xorK ana uscar inorsen oi
Des Moines says he'll top any figure
offered.
These may be bona fide bids but
there is a nuspicion an expert com
ouflager is at work. Fifty thousand
kopecs for a wrestling match would
shock the credulity of the most gulli
ble and if Oscar Thorsen makes good
his threat even a gas mask won't save
us.
Soft Pedal.
MERELY by way of suggestion
would it not be expedient for all
hands interested in the approaching
wrestling classic to tune down this
musical melange of high-powered
bids down a bit? Only by promising
to pay the gladiators in Liberty bonds
and donated 2i per cent of the gross
receipts to a war charity and one or
two other little things did Colonel
Miller succeed in putting his circus
over. So is it not barely possible the
cold legal and moral scrutiny will
be turned toward the mat joust if
the belligerent bidders continue to
flood the telegraph wires?
Courageous Jess.
fir HEN Colonel Miller announced
the Twin Cities, where only 10
round bouts are permitted would be
the scene of the million-dollar quarrel,
Jess Willard immediately beganajto
pound out the mournful melodies on
the old steam caliope which had done
such good service on parade days.
Jess was iorely disappointed be
cause the fight wasn't to be 20-rounds
or more. Yes, we'll bet Jess was
as mad as Looney Ludcndorf when
the general staff refused to permit
him to lead the first attack of the
German offensive in person.

Ray Chapman had interesting tales
to relate.
"I was catching for Boston one
day in Cleveland, several years ago.
Cleveland knocked Larry Pape out
of the, box and Cicotte was sent in
with Lajoie at bat. I told Eddie to
keep the ball away from Larry and
to use apeed, but, when he had two
strikes on Nap, Eddie thought he
would try a alow one on him," re
lated Willwms.
"Say, I don't believe I ever saw
a ball hit a ) hard. Larry took only
a short swing, but he had those big
shoulders behind his effort and the
next minute we were carrying Ci
cotte off the field, the ball having
hit htm on the foot
"You will try to fool Larry with
a slow one? I said to hirar
PLAN FOR FIGHT
IN TWIN CITIES
STRIKES A SNAG
Safety Commission Would For
bid the Contest While the
United States Is at
War.
St. Paul, April 23. The feeling per
sisted in the twin cities tonight that
the proposed championship fight be
tween Jesse Willard and Fred Fulton
would not be held in St. Paul on the
Fourth of July.
Active opposition from several or
ganizations and the announced de
termination of leaders of these forces
to enlist state-wide support, was re
garded as the chief cause for pessim
ism. It was believed that this opposi.
tion was responsible for an intimation
that the safety commission would for
bid the fight while the United States
is involved in war.
The safety commission today lis
tened to arguments and then took the
matter under advisement.
Col. J. C. Miller, promoter of the
contest, was quoted today as declar
ing that he would give $20,000 if he
could shift his fight bureens to other
shoulders.
Frankie Britt Knocked
Out by Lew Tendler
Boston, April 23. Frankie (Young)
Britt of New Bedford was knocked
out by Lew Tendler of Philadelphia
in the third round of their 12-round
boxing match here tonight. Britt led
in the first two rounds, but shortly
after the opening of the third, Tendler
landed a left hand uppercut that sent
Britt to the ropes. Britt recovered
himself and was about to cross the
ring when Tendler with another up
percut to the body floored Britt for
the count. The men are lightweights.

Orpheum That the serious Is the comical
may be paradoxical, but is nevertheless
truthful. Stur at Barnes, the monologtst,
singing comedian and entertainer par ex
cellence, at any rate believes this to be a
fact, and hi belief crystallacd into realisa
tion by the enormous harvests of laughs
he is reaping ever at the orpheum this
week, at .the expense of those who have
been targets for General Daniel Cupid. Ho
has harnessed the weakness of the swain
to a chariot of mirth and is driving it
over the top of public approval.
Boyd Mme. Maude Powell has been a
tireless worker and the splendid results she
has achieved are the fruits of years nf
incessant exertion to reach a foremost po
sition among representative players. Her
European reputation is enually as great as
her American, and she commands an en
ormous reputat on, said by many to be the
largest of any living violinist. One of hor
most delightful traits is her willingnes to
assist promising young composers and the
practical assistance she gives wherever
possible. Mme Powell will play at the
Boyd theater Thursday night, April 25.
She will be assisted by Arthur Lbesser, a
brilliant young pianist, who plans soon to
go to the Jront as a member of a New Tork
contingent

Secretary McAdoo
Says
"Halt-soled breeches and half-soled
shoes are badges of honor; I wear
them myself and am glad to recom
mend them.
"I like to think that I am releasing
leather for a soldier's feet, and cloth

Every man in these United States
should do likewise.
Nine oat of every 1 of as eould

other season by sending them to a
good cleaner and have them Cleaned
and Repaired.
The actual cost of cleaning a suit,
making new edges on sleeves, new
bottoms in trousers, new seat, fix
pockets, etc. would bo about 10 or
15 per cent of what you would have
to pay for a new suit.
Now, tf you can make th old uit
do by spending $3 or 34 on it, why
not do so? Yon can get along; you'll
be releasing wool for th boy "over

left to buy bonds.
