International News Servloa. 4oe Mf NEW HAT Zbyszko Injuries Eliminates - A-1 Opponents for Pesek. bringing; ,WCN I r I r to XAs -SOT Pm jJL- l Lincoln, Neb!, Aug. 27. (Special). ' tttorts by Kay rage, Lincoln pro moter, and Mart Slattery of Shelton, manager of John Pesek, wrestling phenom of Buffalo county, to match Pesek against one of the top-notch heavies, the bout to be staged on the fair grounds in Lincoln during state fair week, have fliwered. A Stecher Fesek match was first suggested by Page and Slattery, but the Dodge boy explained that he had just enlisted in , the navy and, having no assurances of getting a furlough, could not con tract to go through with the propos ' ed match. Then came Jack Curley of New York with an announcement that he would pit Wladek Zbyszko, the Pol ish strongman, against the Buffalo - county wonder. Curley's telegram to Page, accepting terms, was assumed to be binding and the match was an nounced two weeks ago, but all this was knocked into a cocked dicer when Curley flashed another wire in which he declared that Zbyszko had been "injured in training." Page then shifted to a Pesek-Lewis bout, but the military authorities at Camp Grant, where the "Kentucky Strang ler" is in training, refused to issue the soldier-wrestler a leave of ab sence. Substitutes Not Wanted. John Olin, Vussif Hussane and Steve Savage were offered as sub stitutes for the "big three," but pro moter , Page had assured the state fair board that he would put on a match of championship caliber or nothing at all, so all negotiations were called off, and Lincoln will have . no state fair mat match. Larney Lichtenstein of Chicago, associated with Manager Slattery in booking Pesek matches, insinuates that Zbyszko's injury was a plain case of "running out, while a post card received in Lincoln today from iack Curley declares that Zibby will e out of commission for at least a month. A heavyweight wrestling tourna ment is scheduled for Des Moines this week an adjunct of the Iowa state fair. Zbyszko is one of the en tries. In event Zibby shows np at - Des Moines and takes part in the tournament. Lichtenstein will win the argument. ' Otherwise, Zbyszko and Cur ey will be entitled to a ver dict of not guilty. The developments at Des Moines will settle the debate.

AT THE THEATERS WALTER BROWER, at the Or pheum this week, closes his act with a serious recitation, "The Prodigal Girl." This bit of verse by Rex Maxingham is given with so much sincerity by Mr. Brower, that yesterday he received this letter: "I want to thank you for your plea for the 'Prodigal Girl.' She needs encouragement I know, for I am one of them. Mr. Brower is a southerner, who began his stage career some twenty years ago as a vocalist. Although his method is strikingly individual, he is successful in the quiet way which made Ezra Kendall. Fred Ballard, dramatist, Is working on a new play. Harry S. Byrne met him while in New York last week. Mr. Ballard is a native of Have lock, Neb., and now lives in New York City. When Manager Burgess gets back to the Boyd from the third section of his divided vacation, he will find Harry Cockerill selling 'tickets with one hand and bossing a gang of cleaners, painters and the like with the other.

David Belasco will present "Polly With a Past,", at the Brandeis theater for two nights and Saturday matinee, starting Friday night, Au gust 30.

The cast is the or iginal one, including such well known players as Cyril Scott, H. Reeves Smith, Herbert Yost, George Stuart Christie, Thomas Reynolds, Louise Galloway, Adah Barton, Betty Lin ley, Francis Verdi and Lioyd Neal. Harry Lamont, at the Empress theater for the last time today, has the audience laughing from the start with his jokes and clever comedy.

One of the many ways in which to get more than one's money's worth at the Gayetv this week is to vigorously applaud Jim Barton when he exhibits those loose feet of his. He has more eccentric steps to de liver than can be contained in a danc ing specialtv of reasonable length, and it really takes two encores to get the boy warmed up to show how nervous his feet really are.

In marked contrast to the opening day's play the majority of the matches were won in straight sets and without a semblance of an upset.
