PETERS BRINGS
LUCK TO AUBURN
IN GOLD CHUNKS
"Cash" Welsh Beats Auburn
Deacons With Ringer, but
Charlie Turns Tables
on City Slicker.
Among the warmest admirers of
Charlie Peters are the wrestling fans
of the free state of Nemaha, a geo
graphical portion of Nebraska which
Charlie, with those old political
wheelhorses, Tom Majors and the late
Church Howe, helped put on the map.
A big bunch of these old time
friends who have watched with inter
est all of his different contests since
he first entered the game will be on
hand to boost and bawl for' him at
Rourke park on the great and glorious
Fourth of July when he tries conclu
sions with the Honorable John Pesek
of Shelton.
The Nemaha county boys will be
here with bells on and with a nice
bunch of kale to back up their judg
ment that Peters is the one best bet
on the mat today.
And the Nemaha county lads will
be justified in their loyalty to their
favorite, for he has many a time help
ed them to bring home the bacon in
the past.
Brings Great Luck.
Thev recollect the time, far back in
history, when Charlie was a mere
"bush leaguer" in the game that he
brought them great luck luck in nice,
round golden hunks, luck that jingled
to a merry tune iri their pockets when
the time of reckoning came.
Charlie had been meeting all comers
in that neck of the woods, and the
days when he was not wrestling were
like angels' visits few and far be
tween. He was a phenomenon then
and defeated all challengers. His fame
penetrated to Kansas City, together
with the knowledge that the lads in
his bunch of the "sticks" were going
hog wild in betting on him.
Now in Kansas City lives Judge
Casimir J. Welsh, promoter, who
keeps an eagle, eye to windward and
rails down the main chance in sure
thing Style whenever it bobs up
serenely within his view.
He heard of Charles and of the bet
ting propensities of the Nemaha
county lads, and he saw a chance for
some easy money.
He picked out a wrestler from the
herd who had a long list of victories
tojhis credit, who was an old hand at
the game, who knew all the tricks and
was well up among the champions of
the mat at that time. Casimir felt he
had fine material for a "ringer" and
he brought his man to Auburn to
make a cleaning.
Baits Townsmen.
He paraded his man under an as
sumed name and then started out to
bait the townsmen into betting. His
work was easy, for every overture for
a bet he made was copped instanter.
First he started with attractive odds,
but he soon saw there was no need of
this, and then he brought it to even
money. Most of the betting was done
cn the Thompson & Peery corner, on
the north side, and when one towns
men had run out of monev. an S. O. S.
call was put in and for the honor of
the town Presbyterian elders, Metho
dist deacons and others who would
crucify a man for engaging in a crap
game came to the front, dug down in
to their ieans and called every bet
that "Cash" could cover. Thirty min
utes before the match was called in
the auditorium they had the big town
.snort bet to a standstill.
"Cash" had brought his bankroll to
Auburn in the shape of $10 and $20
gold pieces Peters and the "un
known" went to the mat and Charley
took the measure of his man in 29
minutes for the first down and seven
minutes for the decision.
Celebrate Victory.
The Auburn crowd yelled its throat
hoarse and its lungs sore and carried
Charlie around on its collective
shoulders in celebration of its glorious
victory.
For months afterward church mem
bers who looked in horror at gam
bling in any form, would furtively put
gold eagles and double eagles which
had arrived in Auburn as an integral
part of the bank roll of Casimir J.
Welsh, premier sport, into circulation.
It was taken as prima facie evidence
of the fact that these deacons and
elders had strayed from the narrow
highway into the path of primrose
dalliance with the Goddess of Chance
and they had participated in the killing-
Oh yes, Nemaha county lads who
had never seen a gold piece before
the battle, and who had some of them
afterward can never forget the vic
tory and they will be on deck at Pa
Rourke's ball park July 4 to say, and
back it up with long green, that
Charlie Peters is there with the goods.
Navy Losses.
The Navy base ball team lost its
first game at Blair Sunday when it
played against the Blair base ball
team. The score was 5 to 6.
Tackie O. Nye almost succeeded in
making the score a naval victory byi
making a sensational notne run-

EARL CADDOCK

World's Champion Wrestler
Promoted From Ranks to '
Commissioned Officer; ;
in Omaha Tuesday. ,
Earl Caddock, world's champion
wrestler, has become a commissioned
officer in Uncle Sam's army. Earl hai
been promoted from sergeant to the
rank of second lieutenant, according
to a message received by Gene Melady,
his manager.
Caddock's advancement in the army
has been rapid. He entered Uncle'
Sam's fighting forces last December
as a private in the ranks- Shortly
after his enlistment he was given the
two stripes of the corporal. Then he
became a sergeant and now he has
risen to the commissioned ranks. "
Caddock's promotions have come,
Camp Dodge officers say, not through
his athletic skill, but through his
merit as a soldier. He was an apt
student and quickly became familiar
with military tactics, so that he won
his commission without even going
into an officers' training school.
In Omaha Tuesday. ?
Caddock will be in Omaha Tuesday
on his way from Camp Dodge to
Casper, Wyo., where on Fourth of
July he w;estles Yussif Hussane. In

"Casper is making great prepara
tions for the go," says Carl Marfisi.
"Everybody in Casper appears o be
some kind of a millionaire and from
reports we get there is more money
in that town than on Wall street.
They promise to give Earl a chunk ot
it for appearing there." "

Lakeview Park Offers
Big Program Tonight.
Two big events are in tap this even,
ing at Lakeview park, when the grand
prize waltz will be given in conjunc
tion with Walter Stanton, the original
chanticleer, in his barnyard skit called
the "Rooster Scratch."
The grand prize waltz will be the
last of a series to be held this season
to determine who is the best waltzer
at the dance palace.
In iffering Walter Stanton, in his
impersonation of the Barnyard Romeo
the Lakeview management is giving
the Omaha public an opportunity to
witness a most versatile performance
without charge. Mr. Stanton's act will
be given on the floor of the big dance
palace. '
One of the principal features of the
act is the fight between Stanton,
whosce costume is an exact duplicate
of the rooster, and an ordinary ban-
tarn. The act is absurdly funny be
cause of the grotesque makeup of
Stanton, who appears as the giant ;
rooster seven feet high, in combat
with the little bantam seven inches
high.
The game cock fight ends with the
sham rooster coming off second best.
Stanton is assisted by Victoria Or
vilfe in the "Rooster Scratch" dance,"
which is now the craze in the larger
eastern cities.
