Orawn for fhe Bee by George McManus WRESTLING LAW UNDERGOES TEST New City Ordinance Regulating Met Game in Omaha to Be -Put to Test Friday Night. N That Omaha wresting fans are eager to learn the feasibility of the new city ordinance regulating wrest ing is manifested by the brisk demand for scats to the Joe Stecher-Charlie Peters match which will be held at the .Auditorium Friday night. A-ller the new ordinance, the city gtV?;iitees any wrestling match per mitted to be held in this city. The Stecher-Peters match is the first to be held under this new ordinance and it will be a kind of test match by which the fans may learn whether or not the ordinance Rives them the pro tection they should have. The city is handling all of the money for this match. Promoter Jack Lewis conducts all the business affairs with the exception of the coin itself. " That is all handled by city employes and not one cent of it will be turned over to Lewis until the match terminates" satisfactorily. Post Forfeits. Lewis also was compelled to take out a permit to stage the event and file the articles of agreement between the competing gladiators with , the rif council. Steelier and Peters also netted $500 forfeits that the bout would conclude to the satisfaction of J the city's representatives. Tickets which are being sold for the event carry a refund check. "In case the match terminates unsatisfac torily holders of tickets need. only to 'present their refund checks to receive the admission fee back. The only loss is the war tax which, of course, cannot be covered by a city ordinance. .Seats Selling Fast. The seat sale opened Monday night and already half of the househas been sold out. Papi.llion fans took 500 tickets right off the bat. Auburn, N'cb., sent in an order for a block of seats and many mail orders have been received' from out of town devotees of the mat game. The match, in addition to being the first staged under the new city ordi nance, is the first big wrestling event in Omaha at which popular prices fc charged, in many years. Instead M Jthe usual $5 top, which the bone crushers have been getting, $2 is the highest price of admission and half of the seats sell at $1. B1LLESS1CKT0 , BUY ST. JOSEPH BALL FRANCHISE St. Joseph, Mo., Dec. 4. (Special Telegram.) William Essick, "Vine gar Bill." owner and manager of the Grand Rapids team of the Central league, is to buy the St. Joseph base ball team, according to announcement made here today and coming direct fom President Dickerson, who has w.?otiated the deal which brings Es sick here to take the Holland hold ings. . According to this statement Essick will co-operate with Ed Hanlon in purchasing the club, although this seems to be dependent upon condi tions which have not been met. But it is cefhaiu that Essick himself will, conic and will manage the club next season. Holland is in Kansas City and could not be reached today, but at his former offices here business friends said they had known of the deal. Es sick is a former Cincinnati and Kan sas! City pitcher and is well known in base ball circles everywhere. Four-Club League Looms a California Prospect The proposition making the Pacific Coast league a California outfit from crown to bootstrap, with four clubs wajtead of six, will be one of the rlfiis to come before the annual meet ing of the league's directors in Los Angeles on December 17. There will be several other interesting numbers on the program for the meeting, one of the principal ones being a propo sition to further decrease salary limits in order that cjubs may be guaran teed a margin when the last "bat is tucked in the locker. Another, item will be the proposal to shorten the league season at least two weeks, which would bring the campaign to an end about the middle of next October. The claim is .made that interest in base ball lags after the world series, and that minors con duct their seasons after that period only at a great financial sacrifice. The outstanding proposition, of course, is the dyed-in-the-wool Cali fornia league. Portland appears to be definitely 6ut on account of trans portation expenses. This argument also applies to Salt Lake City, and besides, the wiseacres say, Sacra mento is about ready to purchase its fcrrer interest in the Salt Lake City franchise. This would leave San FraricUco. Oakland, Sacramento and Los Angeles as the clubs with Vernon forced out on account of its position ia- a fifth dub t r With the Mercantile. League.

Tartar Republic Has Been Established in the Crimea ' London, Dec. 4. The establish ment of a Tartar republic in the Crimea is announced, according to the Petrograd correspondent of the Times, who adds that details are un known. In this connection the cor respondent refers to the declaration of independence made by the Cauca sus and the secession of Siberia. He declares it is difficult to say where the process of disintegration will end. It appears to cause little concern to the politicians in power, who are wholly absorbed in the peace pro gram. The Crimea, a peninsula projecting into the Black sea, is the scene of the Crimean war. It is about 9,900 square miles in area and has a pop ulation of about 400,000, most of whom are Tartars. There are also Greeks, Germans and Bulgarians. Ihc tartars settled there in the thir teenth century. s Would Establish' American Legion of . Honor Washington, Dec. 4.

Some Years Between Canal Project and Completion The proposal to construct a canal between the Forth and the Clyde for great ocean-going vessels is by no means a recent one. The Romans built a wall across the same line, but history says nothing about a canal. Nevertheless, the idea has been mooted for at least a century, and. the canal has not been commenced yet. The Kiel canal, made famous as the hiding place of the great German fleet, was talked about in the days of Napoleon, but it is only a recent years that it has been completed. No fewer than four centuries elapsed between the conception of the Panama canal and its completion. It was one of the earliest ideas of the old Spanish and Portuguese naviga tors, seeing that it cuts off thousands of miles on the way to the. Pacific. The completion in 1893 of tlie canal across the Isthmus of Corinth which would come into prominence in the event, of Greece becoming a belligerent was the finish of , a scheme for which the first survey was made in the years 600 B.
