STECHER SAYS HE
IS TOO LANKY TO
EUSH STALLER
Fremont, Neb., June 1. (Special.)
-Joe Stecher has discovered the rea
son wrestlers stall him and keep him
from "getting to them." Joe says his
body and arms are too lengthy to give
him the strength necessary for rushing
an opponent who is inclined to stall.
Joe made this statement on his re
turn home from Omaha, where he had
been signing up for a match with
Zbyszko June 12.
"People tell me that I ought to learn
.to tackle these fellows who are able
to get draw decisions with me," said
Joe "They assume, evidently, that
the idea has never entered Dy ncaa.
But I haven't been asleep on the sub
ject,' and am training with all my
tnight to overcome my principal weak
ness. I am getting stronger every
day, and think it will be only a matter
of time until I. will be able to handle
the big fellowi who have been holding
' i- - J... th. ,inn that T
could not fasten my favorite hold on
them. I do not have the stocky build
that Gotch had. He was an artist at
forcing the stallers to do business.
On account of my lanky build I can
not make the quick, strong rushes
that Gotch made, and what's more, I
never will be able. I have to force
my man by some sudden move or
sheer strength."

HERE'S HOW ZIBBEY LANDED IN
BUT MAN WHO DID IT HAS
Here is the inside story of detain
ment of Wladek Zbyszko, famous
Polish wrestler, who is matched to
clash with Jde Stecher at the Audi
torium June 12. The story is told by
Jack Curley, celebrated wrestling im
pressario, big time promoter and city
slicker, so it must be true.
When Wlodek Zbyszko came to
these United States of America in
1914 he came under the management
of one Alexander Aberg, Russian
Graeco-Roman grappler of n6te and
a cut-up of sorts on these American
shores for several times. Zbyszko, it
seems, ran into Aberg at a wrestling
tourney at Buenos Ayres. Zibby
dumped Aberg and Alex, with visions
of capturing the gleaner's gold,
came to the states with the ' Polish
champ. '
In America Zibby toiled under
Aberg's direction. Aberg was as
sisted by his brther, who went by
the name of George Lurich.
Splits With Aberg.
About a year and a half ago, Zibby
split with Aberg, so the story goes.
He quit Aberg cold and took up with
Curley. The first thing Curley did,
with an eye to business of course,
was get into a vocal wrangle with
Aberg. As a result challenges and
defies were hurled back and forth

playing their first season with the
Yankees. Hannah was obtained from
the Salt Lake club of the Pacific
Coast league, where he played 187
games and turned in a batting aver
age of .292. Ruel came to the Yanks
from the Memphis team of the
Southern association and had a bat
ting average of .290 for 133 gamej.
until (he rhateh wa made. It was
to be held in Boston.
Bqt Aberg, apparently remembering
his defeat in the Argentine, got cold
feet, he backed out of the match,
failed to appear. This made the Bos
ton promoter, who hd spent con
siderable sums advertising artd pre
paring for the match, quite peevish.
His first act was to bring suit against
Aberg. Aberg, sensing that a wallop
was about to be taken at his bank
roll, escaped the suit by leaving the
country. He and brother Lurich beat
it for Russia as fast as a trans-Atlin-tic
liner would carry them.
Curley Put to Test
Now comes the climax, Aberg and
Lurich, still sore at Curley and
Zbyszko, tipped it off to the Russian
government that Zibby was nothing
more nor less than an agent of the
central powers. And the Russian
government notified the government
of the United States. And the gov
ernment of the United States slapped
Zibby into Ellis Island. It took
Curley five days to convince Uncle
Sam the plot was a frameup.
But now comes the after-climax
and this is what makes Curley happy.
The Russian government, so 'tis re
ported, got next to Lurich and Lurich
is no more. A brick wall or a hang-

Seventeen former Rourkei have de
serted the field of base ball to enter
the sterner game of war in answer to
their country's call. Only two of the
17 made the change in uniform di
rectly from the Omaha club to the
army. They are Pave Williams, first
iscker last year, and Pete McGuire,
pitcher. The others are former
Kourkes who played on the local
clubs in years gone by.
Six pitchers are numbered among
the Rourkes who are following the
colors. Tom Blodgett, the big Kan
sas southpaw, who left Oi.iaha when
the New York Yankees drafted him,
is one. Lou North, star of the
Rourkt hurling corps when Omaha
won the Western league pennant in
J91f3, is another. Murphy Currie. who
pitched for Omaha in the spring of
1917, and then suddenly disappeared
one day, also has found his way into
the army. Lester Stevenson is the
little right-lunder who came to Oma
ha from Green Bay and received
some local prominence during a
tpring exhibition game by striking
put Hans Wagner. Jack Ryan was
an Omaha pitcher many years ago.
Ed Spellman, George Shestak and
Tex Crosby all wore Omaha uni
forms at one time or another. Shesr
tak was with Denver' last year and
Croiby with St. Joieph.
Miller In Navy.
Ray Miller, first sacker on Omh'$
1916 championship team, is in the
havy. Oak Henmng, who tried out
for the first base job in the spring of
JJ1S, went .into the army via the draft
r$ute the other day. James Tierney,
who was tent to Omaha by Kansas
City and sent right back again a eon
pie of years ago, il at Camp Dodge.
Fen, ton Whln, who fj'yed short
top for the Rourks part of 1915, is
an army man now. , Harvey Grqbb,
third sacker who played here half a
dozen years ago, and Norman Coyle,
