..... f 10 THE BEE:, OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 1919. -J, s v MUST BE WINNER -WHEN PESEK AND FREBERG MEET - One or the Other Must Win Two Falls, Accordfng to , Agreement; Ityth Men Rough WrestJers. The Friday show at the Auditor . iunViiai created alt sors of com 'x ment anion the ' wrestling "bugs" of this section and even the Chicago '.Jans are getting up some excitement over it. A carload of Chicago fans . are expected to come in Friday af- ternoon. The all-staf show at popu ' 1a r prices idea lits caused sportsineu -that never cared for' this particular Sme to think about getting a seat. ;. Tickets have been on sale for the past week and the sellers report they are going rapidly. When the smoke of battle has ? cleared away, the witnesses will see a real winner, for Fromoter Lewis " insisted on a real finish match, bct two out of three falls. In a match ' of this kind, there is little possibility that the wrestlers will "job" itt One I or the other must win and they will . each strive to be the victor, for the loser will probably never get another chance to wrestle in Omaha. The local fans like to sec winners work, but they don't go crazy over a man they have seen beaten. The Swedish champion, John Frc- berg, ' is kriown as a rough-house wrestler. Freberg's principal Jtock in trade is a mean eye and a Jmeaner arsposjtion. He. loves to jab his elbow into the fare of his unsuspect ing opponent and he isn't satisfied with a inatclj unless it results in a couple of black eyes, a split lip and a newly cauliflowered ear. But this propensity of Freberg's to disfigure -the anatomy of his oppo nent .is causing no worry-"for -John ; resek, wno is to meet f reberg at tne Opiaha Auditorium Friday night, t according to a letter Promoter,Jack . - Lewis has received from f esek. V 'I'm tickled to death to hear tljpt ;j m this'Ffeberg person is a rough-house t artist, ; .wrote lesck. ;inat means v a pleasant time will be had by all." : For, be it known, Pesek is no pink s''' tea grappler himself. Pesek doesn't ? ride himself upon his rough-house tactics nor does he practice -ques- tionablp methods in his matches, but neither is he noted for his gentility I and he delights in a good rough and i reaay doui. ne promises to give an , I that he receives. "Jut let Freberg l try to rough liiejV Pesek wrote, "and 1 Tie'll be ylling f6r six doctors and a ' I coinpany of nurses before the even ing is over." v 1 ' ' . .' . it . ii "This should be, joyous news for the tans, said Lewis as he exhibited 1 the Pesek ktter. "It meafis a warm - ' match Friday night. -, I think I'll en ? joy watching it myself." Pesek alscf cbnveys the infowna ' tion that he and .Clarence Ecklund, ' , the light heavyweight champion of . the world yhch is also on Friday ; Vfeht's bll, are training diligently. were leaving no stones unturned to tret into th very best of codi- tion, and we'll both be ready for any I kind ot a matcli, wrote fesek. You may nat have heard much' about George Sauers down in Omaha, but we know a lot about him out here in the state. He'll give Ecklund i tough match Friday night and iick lund knows it and is training doubly hard." " - General Pershing Is ' t Good Sport; Cables to ! Cubs "Alex Enroute" ' Chicago, March 18.

All he wants now is a chance to quit crap and-other kinds of war and to earn an honest living. Says he doesn't care'how hard the work Is just so long as he doesn't have to take, his feet off the desk. - y , Seems that he was going good. Cptirred'16 Dutchmen the first day who didn't know any more about crap thart a one-legged ostrich does about logarithms. Said those Germans had heads like furniture. Took all the coin they had and didn't charge 'em for the lessons. Said he sharpened -up his bayonet and dice and started out to look for new pupils. Saw something that looked like grapefruit" on the ground and took it up to sniff it. That's the next and last thing he remembered. He don't know what the last thing was. That grapefruit went democratic and Diew mm ior a row oi Mongolian pagoaas. V' Says he is off grapefruit now unless they have their adenoids ampu- tated.' 1 That grapefruit knocked him blonde. When he got his ideis back be tween his ears he was. in a strange precinct. Handsomest place he ever aimed an eye at. Birds twittering in the trees, flowers blooming and monkeys walking in the trees. Just like a golf links. Said he shook him self up to pipe if any bones were loose and didn't even have a bruise. Must have landed on his head. v Went looking around for a place to put on a nosebag and ran plumb smack into the biggest smoke he ever saw. It was jusHike looking into a mirror. Says put out the right hand of fellowship, but this cuckoo must have been left-handed. Flauls off and tries to change the size of his hat with a big club, but the Buffalo beat him to it. - Says this dinge had a complexion that was darker than the inside of an old boot. Had two white eyes that made his face look just like thev deuce on a dicepiece. Buff hit him on one eye and closed it like a bank on a holiday.' That made tire strange smoke like an act. The Buffalo was starting one frontalis liquor pocket that would have made that bird look like a blank, when suddenly somebody ordered an-, other grapefruit. , . . . v . , - i When he came back faom wherever he had been, he says he was sur rounded by a- minstrel show "without the end men. Saw right away that he was outta. luck, like a pug-nosed ant-eater. Said his clothes felt kinda hard, and when he looked down he found he wasn't wearing anything but a big eight-gallon vat. Water up to his neck and janitor had built a big hre. Some big ward heeler was strutting around with an oil can on his head. He knew he was the king. . He said it was the funniest situation he'd ever been in. King wearing an oil can and an ace wearing a pot. King looked at him with an eyethat belonged m a fish s head. Then he spolft. Buffalo said it was in perfect bVokenEnglish : "Um, um. Where you-come from?" t " ' "That ain't worrying me, King. Where'm I goin' to?" "Big eats. Eat 'um up cannibal." ' " "Nothin' doin', King. I'm a vegetarian when I'm home." "You ain't home npw." . . , N "But I feels right at home, King." s "Stay lor dinner, then, if you tfeelum home." -J., "-I'll stay for dinner, King, but not if I'm gonna be the dinner." "You ain't dinner, .you dessert." ' ',- 'The Buff saw that he was outta luck like a clamdigger in a marble corridor. His bath was getting hottfir every minute and the janitor was nowhere in sight. Just then he piped another big smoke" carrying the country's national flag.. He let out a whoop and knew he was among friends. The national flag was tvfo national flairs. There were five SDOts on one flag and two dots on the other. ; A perfect natural. He reached down in the vat and fumbled for his lil' sauafe oals. Thev were there. but the boiling had made 'em a little 1 , -!- .4 wnen tne minstrei snow spottea em tney flopped on the turt ana banged their beans on the carpet 11 times.. He had bounced a natural off the hnoleuni and copped the King s oil They made a ring about the Buffalo and" the Kine and thav "eo to it. The cooking had warmed up the bones and the Puff knew he was ill right if nobody didn't order another grapefruit. Theylwere pegging the dice to see who was going to be the dinner or the diner. Buffalo gets his inshoot working and opens up King s tace looked like a coal hole him over and chirped: . "King, you is outta luck like a flea on an iron deec. "Stoppum ear oil and throw ium bones." "King, you is goin' on a long, long journey and I'm gonna furnish ihe tieket." , "Stoppum bunk and give um" action." ''King, I'm gonna butter your ear and eat it for a'soda cracker." "Stoppum bull and lettum go." ' "Any last message tft the folks, King? Your bath is gettin' hot." The Buffalo says that he had the old King smothered wkh naturals when all of a sudden another big smoke eases by with another set of flags. One had a single spot on it and the other had two.' The Buff added 'em up aim knew that the cows had come home tails first. He was skeered to throw the bones again, for heHcnew they were loaded with bad news. v-The King said something that sounded like a set of dishes clattering down a flight of steps and every minstrel in that show pulled out a razor tnat was long enough to strop on the moon. ' . The Buff took it on the loop and was one jump ahead of the nearest razor and two jumps behind a fit when he looks up and pipes a grapefruit tree full of monkeys. ' He grabs a grapefruit, beans the nearest guy. and waits for the ex plosion. ' - Either that grapefruit wasn't loaded or some sucker had stacked the carLs. When ne came to for the third time, he had a lump on his head that-made him look like twins. . If ybu want a- good man to keep your apartment warm in summer and cool m winter, just ring, this Buffalo up at his office in City Hall park. He" s gpt a palatial suite o-the fourth bench from the corner. You can spot him by the lump on his bean. It look3 like a grapefruit.

Mat haws and Britton are the only two champions in any division that ever performed this feat. Jack lost the title to Lewis in the same ring at Canton, in which he won it, with the same referee officiating. Monday night, in the change of scenery, he outboxed Lewis all the way, final ly forcing him to the ropes with a series of short snappy hooks and jabs and hen brought a ripping right hook to the jaw arid lewis crumpled to the floor and never moved till he was picked up by his seconds and placed in his chair in the corner.

The meeting of the Greater Omalu league jiiahagers, held at Emit Holmes' Billiard Parlors last night proved a fizzle as far as any real ac tion toward the formation of a nevs league was concerned. Only v fiv managers were present, one of then: being only a possibility at that, Tot while it is generally thought that Johnny Dennison will have'a Krug representative team, t6 one, not even Dennison, knows whether he actual ly will have one or not. t I Name Committee. It was finally decided that a com mittee should be appointed to call on trie directors o the Municipal league and ask for a reconsideratior of the rules prohibiting games Or, enclosed parks. It would even bf conceded by the class A managers to allow free admission to the park! if a charge Vould be made for th seats. A motion to this effect waf made, put and carried nd Ar - J Christiansen, Bert Murphy an; Johnny Dennison were selected a! the committee to represent the Greater Omaha league. If tile re quest is denied them, another meet ing of the Class A managers wil; probably be called for a more defi nite action on the formation of semi-pro leasue. State League Suggested. The suggestion wis made that ' I state league be formed. taking ir learns irom Beatrice, rjattsmoutn. Fremont and Lincoln, besides the Oniaha teams, but most of fthost present thought this could not be carried out with any degree ot success. Then the local league was broached, but it didn't hit the spot eittier, some ot tnemanagers thinking- that OmahJ" could not supporl a semi-pro league.
