OMAHA RIDES ON
ASIDE TRACK IN
RACE FOR MAT GO
BSMSa
Gate City Has Edge on Rivals
in. Contest for. 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.

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.

- ' : By ; RINGSIDER. f v
Chicago, April 27. 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

ed in the annual duat meet here to

The Aggies never had a look-in
from the start. The Huskers cap-
"tured all but one second in the first
three events, and when Harold and
Barney .McMahon nosed out Fish,
the Ames-sprinter, in the. 440 yard
run, it was .only a question of the ,
size of the score.

meet and toward the close the
track was a mud puddle. Under these
conditions, fast time' was impossible,
The summary shows that the Hus
kers grabbed off-11 firsts and eight
seconds. Ames, captured all of the
field events with one exception, when

four firsts and five seconds. The
Aggies defaulted-in the half-mile re
lay, but in the mile the Huskers
team, including Yortea. Grau, Barney,
McMahon and Harold McMahon, 1
outdistanced the Ames quartet. Graf
made the most impressive showing
of the meet when he lapped Sharp,
the Ames sprinter, in the two mile
run. Harold McMahon and Finnev.
