BONUS OFFER IN
BIG WRESTLING
GO STILL STANDS
Marfisi Announces $1,000 Of
fers for First Fall in Stecher
Zbvszko " Match Is
,r t.. Still Good, i r
The 'same conditions, which were
planned, mapped out and agreed upon
for the tangle scheduled for May 28
before Zibby was given'i taste of the
atmosphere at thennore or less shun
ned Ellis Island, will prevail when Joe
Stecher and Wladek Zbszko clash at
the Omaha Auditorium the night of
June 12. , '.-
Carlos Martisi, who is to get a de
layed crack at $1,200 already sunk into
the venture, announces that every
thing will be the same, in fact the
match will be held June 12 as though
merely a postponement of the May 23
event. .. .
The articles of aereement remain
the same. They are that the match
shall go to at least a decision. A time
limit of two hours and 30 minutes
so that the wrestlers wont get tired
out, also the fans, in fact mostly the
fans has been established and it
neither wrestler has earned a fall in
this time, Referee Ed Smith, who al
most lost his job, will give a decision.
' Banus Still Stands.
Marfisi also declares the bonus of
fers still stand. These offers call for
a bonus of $1,000 to the wrestler ob
taining the first fall, and a total bonus
of $1,500 if one of the wrestlers wins
two straight falls. This is a bona fide
offer,1 Carlos declares, not the
camouflage of a slick press agent.
Prices will remain the same. Price
range from $ls10 to $5.50.. These prices
include war taxes. ; ; ?
Seati ori Sale. ;;
Seats are now on sale at the Audi
torium, Merchants hotel, Partem ho
tel, Merrht'a drug store, and other
points and, according to Carlos, the
sale is brisk. When the original
match was called off the advance sale
was nearly $5,000. This, Marfisi points
Outr is an indication of the wide
spread interest taken in the go and
he expects the idvance sale this time
to reach $7,000 or $8,000.' Ifa view of
this, Marfisi advises the mat fans who
hope to see the match to place their
reservations immediately if they ex
pectto get into the building on June
12. ' .: .' ' V
Holders of tickets for original
match who failed to have them re
deemed may hold their tickets. Mar
fisi says a number of these tickets are
still out. " .

have fallen into enemy hands, Dr.
Mott declared. These also must be
replaced. "
Sectrt ing ' an adequate supply of
"man power" is a matter quite as vital
to the association's work as a well
supplied treasury, the secretary said.
It is planned that expansion of the as
sociation's work may be kept apace
with the developments of the army
and navy, and to do this it will be
necessary to transport overseas by
September 4,000 additional workers,
1,000 of whom' should be women, he
added. Enough men-will be recruited
eventually, it is hoped, to allot one sec
retary to each 300 fighting men, Dr.
Mott said. Workers now are being en
rolled at the rate of 1,000 monthly.

AMERICAN FLYERS
MAKING RECORD
ON TOUL SECTOR

of April in Front of .
' Fighting, .
(By Associated Press.) (
With the American Army in France,
Sunday, June 2. Compilations which
the Associated Press obtained today
show that the American aviators fly
ing over the Tdul sector have made
an enviable record. American pur
suit units since April 14, when they
started operations, have shot down at
least 32 enemy airplanes. Seventeen
of this number were seen and officially
confirmed by the French, while dur
ing the same period frnd counting the
pilot who fell m flames today, only
seven American chaser flyers have
been lost. Of these four were killed,
one by accident, two are prisoners in
the hands of the Germans and the fate
of today's aviator is not known for
certainty.
The victories gained by the Ameri
cans are all the more important when
it is considered that most of the en
emy machines shot doVn have been
biplanes, so that the loss ' in these
cases has been doubly great for the
Germans. All the American machines
lost were monoplanes.

BOTH'.'DRYS" AND
"WETS" OPPOSING
THIS MEASURE
:
Washington, June 3. Opposition
from "dry," as well as from "wet"
champions is developing in the senate
to the prohibition rider attached by
the house to the $11,000,000 emer
gency agricultural appropriation bill
which would prevent expenditure of
about $6,000,000 unless President Wil
son exercises his power, under the
food control act, to prohibit use of
grains in making peer and light wines
during the war. .,
As a substitute, prohibition advo
cates favor an amendment proposed
by Senator Jones of Washington to
forbid the use of foodstuffs for mak
ing intoxicants of any kind during
the war.
