Caddock Stecher Match, Says Carl Marfisi. Omaha has the inside track on the Earl Caddock-Joe Stecher wrestling match, which it is now reasonably certain will be held on July 4. This is the somewhat startling an nouncement made by Carl Marfisi, Gene Melady's right-hand man, and it comes right on top of several tabul as bids from other cities which seek to be the scene of the approaching mat classic." . - There has been an undercurrent of feeling among Omaha wrestling fans for the last three or four months that the,Caddock-Stecher match, if held, would not be seen in the gate city. The enormous gate receipts at the Caddock-Zbyszko match, coupled with the news that several cities intended to submit bids for the event, first led to the belief that the match would go elsewhere. Then when Waterloo, la., came to the front with a bid I of $j00O, Cedar Rapids with $40 000, Jack Curley of New York with $50,000 and Oscar Thorsen of Des Moines said he would hike the ante on any bid offered? Omaha fans were con vinced the gate city had lost out But now comes Marfisi in the face of these huge bids and says Omaha has the inside track on the match. '-- j Omaha Logical Spot - "Omaha is the logical location for this match, no matter what your pre judices may be," declared Marfisi yes terday. "Omaha is located right be tween the stamping grounds of the ri val wrestlers. Railroads run into Omaha from every direction. Trains can bring visitors from a thousand points in the Interested territory on the day of the match. , ' ' "New York can't do th. Des Moines is ISO miles away from Ne braska, where the Stecher followers hold forth. Des Moines has only two railroads, and train service is so lim ited that only from a very few points can visitors get into the city on the game day of the match.' This also ap plies to the other Iowa towns 'which want the match. Omaha has every advantage in location over the other eitiei whick want the match and don't foVget Gene Melady is an Omaha man and he wants the match in Omaha." One Thing- Threaten!. Only one thing threatens to take the match away from Omaha. This is lack of a place to hold the match. .i The auditorium is out of the ques tion. ' In the first jlace it Is possible tn accommodate onlv 6.000 persons, and if July 4 happens to be a hot day, i tuiildmcr containine that many peo ple would.be insufferable. The match must be held out ot doors. There are three or four open. air Dlaces where the match might be held, but in each instance it would be neces-, sary to makj improvements. It also would be necessary to build many thousands of additional seats. Were it hot for this drawback, Marfisi says, as it is being overcome in the Twin Cities, where the Willard-Fulton fight, is to be held July 4. It is proposed that the hotel and business men of Omaha subscribe to a fund for the purpose of improving one of these available locations. The business men, hotel and restaurant men especially, will be gainers by this mttch. It will bring thousands of people to Omaha. If the business men wilt raise this fund. Marfisi- says, no bid Des Moines, New York or any othercity makes will take the match from n ah a. . ' It is said plans to raise this fund will be made this week. BRANDlSGOTO SIOUX CITY, BUT THEY TORE LUCKY : The Brandeis stores team, Omaha's crack semi-pro nine, journeyed to Sioux City last Sunday to play the Western leaguers at that point. But it was pure luck that they got there to hear Fred Bradford tell it. "In the first place when I learned late Saturday night," said Bradford, "that the game would be played all irieht it snowed here you recall I Wouldn't get word to Morris Olson, our crack pitcher. That was the first blow. -Then when we met at Four teenth and Farnam to take the car to Council Bluffs to catch the train there, 'kti Styles, the only other hurler we thud, failed to show up I sent Matty 'McGrath to the depot in Omaha to ''sit if he was there and told Matty to get on the train there. He did only rne sot on the wrong train. When he ."discovered his error, the Sioux City train had gone and he couldn't find taxi to get him to Council Bluffs. But luck was with him. He caught I car at the depot, rode to,Tenth and Harney, sprinted to Douglas and ; caught a car to the Bluffs. He reached 'the depot just as the train pulled in. o. "Styles?, Oh, yes, Red was late too so he took the car direct to the Bluffs 'and we found him in the depot there waiting for us. ' "Roben was another delinquent. He ;won a complete victory over his alarm clock; he never did snow up. :,Lt;Jitweights to Clash For Big Coin at Oxford Vera Breedlove of Council Bluffs ar.d Rube Pettijohn, a Nebraska -rappler, will meet in a finish contest nt a nurse of $1,000 at Oxford.

The big noise in the boxing circles around .these diggin'a during the last two weeks was the return of Eddie McGoorty to the roped arena. McGoorty, after a long trip to the Antipodes, made his second debut to American fight fans at Racine, Wis., where he crossed mitts with Frankie Brennan, aa hardy youngster hailing from Detroit. lirennan was touted as a last, clever, hard-hitting boy, but the way McGoorty showed him up brought joy to the heart of the veteran and showed that he hadn't forgotten any of his old-time stuff. Brennan lasted but a short time after Eddie got the famous left working. ,He displayed the "same old cleverness in slipping it over and gave evidence of having several good fights left in him. tans were a bit worried when thev first saw him unon his return from Australia, as he looked wan and drawn, following a long illness, in which an operation was thrown in. But Eddie seems to be recovered now and will show the boys at Fort Sill how to-handle their dukes.t McGoorty is boxing instructor there, having departed for the camp immediately after his bout with Phil Harrison at Ratine. A few nights previous 1 to his bout with Harrison McGoorty displayed some more of his . ring cleverness by trouncing Hugh Walker at Joplin in a ten round bout. Walker is a touch kid and a hard. hitter, but Eddie flashed his ring generalship and Walker was overwhelmed. McGoorty could have dropped Walker, it is said, but re frained, saying he did not want to hurt his hands. x Race of Managers. Now that Jess Willard ha hurkfcrl down to training for his coming scrap with Fred Fulton, July 4, and Fred is traveling in the sticks, picking up loose change and eettintr a line nn Jess in his old-time haunts, talk has turned ,to the great rivalary among heavyweights for the first chance at Willard. It-appears now the race was hottest between Mike Collins, manager of. Fulton, and Jack Kcarns, pilot of Jack Dempsey, the Pacific coast boy.

Fans who have prided them selves on the synonymous vocabulary of base ball will have to begin all over again. Here are a few sugges tivj buzzes: v Players will go ove"the top unless strapped in Pullman upper berths. No Man's Land will be the territory bounded on all sides by the Texas league.- .. -.

Jackson is still wondering how he happened to be lucky enough to land him. 1 ' The kid hurler is a smoke merchant. He has more speed than Lou North, who Omaha fans will remember pos sessed something of a fast ball, ever had. Also he has a curve, although to a casual onlooker the ball travels too fast to see the curve. Van Gilder promises to be rough on catchers this year, but as he also promises to be equally rough on hit ters the advantage is all with Omaha.
