IS JOE SOON TO BE MAN OOTOF A JOB? Should Stecher Win at Lincoln on Thursday There Will Be Tew . Left to Meet. BOTH ARE IN FINE CONDITION Is Joe Stecher. wrestling cham pion of America, goon to be a man out of a Job? . Is the boy in overalls" so good In Us chosen profession that he will find himself without opposition? Thafs what Nebraska athletic fans seem to think Is going to happen, and If the champion trims the Turk. Trusslf Huscane, Thursday afternoon, in their big match at Lincoln, there T ill remain but a couple of men for him to face, only two in America of any prominence that he hasn't beaten Frank Ootch of Humboldt, la., and Ed Lewis, tne Kentucky "strangler." Rteeher's future srems to fnrnl'h a more interesting- study than his imme diate present. Hit present is Interesting enough because of the fact that many, J many people still are unconvinced of his prowess and incline to the belief that he is a great man because of the Keneral decay that seems to have set in all at Tin: nF.r.i omaha.

Those who cannot "see" Stecher rlisht now say that a fresh, strong young fellow is merely plowing broadside through lot of old, antltiuated and thoroughly passe has-t'eens. Wla. fairly. Te that as It may. Stecher Is m Inning, and winnltiK decisively, by fair means. He Is a legitimate champion, there Is lit tle doubt of that, and admitted to be such through his defeat of Charley Cutler, who was acknowledged up to July I last, to be the American champion, sons Uoteh. the bugaboo of Humboldt. Stecher trimmed Cutler In Jig time, wadtn through the Chlcagoan much as he mluht through the veriest tyro at the game. They all look alike to Stecher. The Turk appears to be a formidable barrier In his path, but at that, three months ago, he wouldn't have looked nearly as high a hurdle as Cutler seemed to be for the young man from lKdKe. If Stecher polishes off the Turk, who will be the next one? Ootch seems to be out of the question, for In Chicago a few days ago he said Stecher hud been of fered the chance and having turned It down, would find that old opportunity would not knock on his door ago. That about exhausts the possible op ponents fyr Stecher. outside of the for elgn I. tars, and they do not look like much. The foreigner now wrestling In the New York tournament are essen tially Otaeco-Roman performers and know little or nothing about grappling below the waist line. Kor years they have had a srare thrown into them by the Ootch toe hold, which has been rep resented' to them as a bone crusher of the worst type. Most of them scream Catcher Weaver is Probably Fatally Injured at Denver with fright when an American wrestler reaches down to grasp them by the legs.

Orifflths "The Birth of a Nation" Is the first two-dollar pic ture show. Whether or not It will ever have a successor depends upon whether or not another like presentation can ever come up to Its exceptional precedent. It has been reviewed and pictured and de scribed in all the magazines and dis cussed In the pi ess of every city where It has been shown. It Is based In part upon Thomas Dixon's "The Clansman," consequently it is rather warm and sen sational of Incident and rather gripping of narrative, but it goes back much farther than that and extends much beyond the end of the Plxon work.

Not sat isfied with the constituents of what might be termed tit old vaudeville, Mr. I Beck Is creating a new vaudeville. Mr. lSeck has invaded the dramatic, grand opera and concert- atage for talent Just at time when most of the stars of these fields are seeking a place, and aa vaudeville seems to be the one big branch of the theater business that la open to most of the big artlata and stars, the Orpheum circuit Iuls been enabled to contract fur the services of not only all that Is best in vaudeville, but it has enrolled on its roster such a large number of the stars from the dramatic, opera and concert stage that the Orpheum theater here and In other cities represent the highest standard of class, and are not only the providers of ! ataplo amusement for the masses, but they are the favorite resorts of the more refined people and the acenes of the moat brilliant social gatherings. Press reviewers and musical critics have expressed amaxement at the war tnfc of the Orpheum circuit in booking I the greatest stars.
