Former World
Story of
Kid Graves, Once Holder
of Welterweight Honors,
Off for Scene of
Battle.
The, Omaha Bee wil! present to
readers, the best obtainable on the
Willard - Dempsey championship
fiyht at Toledo, July 4. Kid Graves,
formerly welterweight champion of
thj world, now retired, is sporting
editor of The Bee and will be at
the ringside to report the fight for
this paper. He will send bulletins
describing the battle, blow for blow,
after each round.
To have a former champion re
port the fight for a championship
is not the only feature The Bee wi'.l
offer its readers. Frank G. Menke,
known all over the world as one of
the most brilliant sporting writers,
sporting editor for the Universal
Service will also have a special story
on the big tussle. Kid Graves' story
w:il appear Friday evening and Sat
urday morning. Menke's story will
be prepared for Sunday's edition
The story of a great fight by two t
great writers. t
In presenting the story of this
battle by Kid Graves, the Omaha
Bee is offering a novelty in news
paper work. This ex-boxer was the
welterweight champion of America
for four years. Entered in the Inter
national welterweight elimination
tournament staged by the Broadway
Sporting Club of New York to de
cide a world's champion. Graves
won, knocking out Kid Alberts, the
Canadian champion in the second
round of the final bout of the tour
ney. Defeat All Chaperones.
Prior to this bout, Graves and Al
berts had defeated the champions
of Italy, England, Ireland, Scotland,
France, Switzerland, Spain, Austra
lia, Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
t. , r -i r: iv
ine Canadian cnampion was nguicu
to win as he had met the hardest
opposition in the Italian, Swedish,
Spanish and Scotch contenders.
Graves had polished off the Irish,
French, English, Australian and
Swiss champs rather easily and it
was thought that he had had easier
going than had Alberts. Upon en
tering the ring, the Canadian was
the favorite. It was an even money
proposition after the first round,
Graves having a slight advantage
because of his superior cleverness.
The knockout came in about the
middle of the second round.
The knockout blow was a left
hook to the temple, but Alberts did
not fall to the floor, being pinned
in the corner on the ropes. Graves
looked to his corner for instructions
and his father, who was his chief
handler, signalled the Kid for a
body blow. A light right to the
stomach and Alberts fell on his face,
knocked out for over half an hour.
Two years later, at Dayton, Ohio,
FOURTH OF JULY
MATCH WILL BE
NO PIKER EVENT
Gene Melady, Promoter of
Stecher - Lewis Contest,
Will Expend $5,000 Be
fore Show Starts.
The enormous risk taken by Gene
Melady in promoting the Stecher
Lewis Fourth of July wrestling
match can be best estimated when
it is considered that the initial cost
is greater than it would be to pro
mote a similar event in Madison
Square Garden New York, with a
seating csrpacity of 20,000.
The rent of the New York build
ing for one day js about $1,250, with
all accommodations furnished. The
Auditorium will cost the Omaha
promoter $500. Installation of seat
ing arrangements sufficient to care
for the large crowd which has sig
nified its intention of attending,
and a cooling apparatus to provide
for the comfort of the mat fans,
will cost an additional $1,000.
Other expenses connected with
the event will raise the risk in
volved by the promoter to $5,000.
Few men in the middle west would
be willing to risk the money re
quired for the small profit which the
event promises to make for the pro
moter. ' Confident of Success.
In speaking of the risk, Mr. Mel
ady said: "I could not afford to in
ter into an undertaking of this kind
if I did not make a practice of only
securing the best talent in the atft
letic world. The people have
learned that I will not tolerate me
diocre performers and I am sure of
a crowd large enough to pay ex
penses." The public has been safeguarded
for the coming match by the most
stringent regulations in the history
of sportdom. After three years of
untiring effort, Melady has suc
ceeded in tying Stecher and Lewis
in a knot that, insures the public that
they will have to "deliver the goods"
or not get a dime for their services,
and in addition lose their forfeit of
$1,500.
This is Stecher's last chance to
show the -people of Nebraska the
stuff he is made of. His host of
admirers are as loyal as when he
first started on his sensational climb
to the championship of the world,
notwithstanding the fact that he has
met. a number of stumbling blocks
Shotild he lose this match it will fe
evident that he is not of champion
ship timber and his previous climb
was-in the nature of a flfluke.
Big Crowd Expected.
Lewis has ended the aspiratijns
of many a wrestler for championship
honors and like Stecher, he is train
ing for the fight of his life on July
4. This match will forever de.-ide
which of these two men is superior
on the mat.
Judging from the advance sale,
the crowd will be th largest evr
assembled in Omaha, and many will
be turned away. A feature of the
seat sale that' is uncommon is the
number of tickets purchased by wo
men. Manager Charles Franke of
Champion Will Write'
Title Battle for the Bee
Jack Button won a referee's deci
sion over Graves and, the welter ti
tle. Britton lost the honors to Ted
Lewis in the same ring a few
months later, but regained them by
knocking Lewis out at Canton,
Ohio, a few months ago.
Graves Instructor.
When the United States entered
the world war, Kid Graves was early
appointed the boxing instructor for
Fort Omaha and Fort Crook. He
wrote a series of boxing lessons
and submitted them to the commis
sion on training camp activities, who
issued copies to every boxing in
structor in the United States army
and his lessons were given to all
the American soldiers before they
went "over there."
Having thus won and lost a
world's championship, Graves will
know the feeling of the champion
and challenger when they meet in
tlu- ring at Toledo. His writing in

PECORD CHOSEN
AS REFEREE FOR
WILLARD FIGHT
Officials for Championship
Bout Include Rickard,
Major Biddle, Jack Skelly
and Warren Barbour.
Toledo, Ohio, June 27. Ollie
Pecord, official referee of the To
ledo Boxine commission, will be
the third man in the ring when Jess
Willard and Jack Dempsey meet in
their heavyweight championship
contest here July 4.
Tex Rickard, promoter of the
contest, and Maj. A. J. Urexel Bid
die a wealthv snortsman of Phila
delphia, were selected to serve with
Pecord as judges of the contest.
Jack Skelly, a veteran ring official
of Yonkers, N. Y was chosen al
ternate referee and W. Warren Bar
bour of New York, official time
keeper.
Rickard Makes Announcement.
Appointment of these officials was
made by promoter Rickard today
upon the receipt of a telegram from
Adam Empie, secretary of the Army,
Navy and Civilian Board of Boxing
Control, which undertook the task
of making the selections. Major
Biddle is president of the boxing
control board.
The announcement that Rickard
and Biddle have been named judges
caused a sensation. Pecord's selec
tion as a referee had been forecast,
but the names of Rickard and Bid
dle had scarcely been associated
with the official qoestion.
Major Biddle was noted as an
amateur boxer and has been promi
nently identified with all amateur
sports.
Major Biddle comes from an old
and distinguished Philadelphia fam
ily. He was in the service of the
nation during the war and since the
armistice was signed has been busy
in his efforts to keep boxing on the
high plane it gained through sanc
tion of the government during the
war. He was one of the organizers
of the Army, Navy and Civilian
Boxing Control.
Rickard stands high in the esti
mation of nearly every one conne:t
ed with professional boxing. When
Jeffries and Johnson were unable to
agree on the third man in the ring
for their championship contest at
Reno, Nev., in 1910 1 Rickard, who
was the promoter of that batle, re:
ereed it with the confidence of boih
men. The Jeffries-Johnson fight
was the only contest in which Rick
ard ever officiated.
The selection of Pecord is regard
ed as a concession to the Toledo
Boxing commission under whose
license the Wrillard-Dempsey mat-h
will be staged. He is regarded as an
extremely capable ring official Al
though he is not widely known, he
has officiated in more than 400 con
tests, and was himself formerly j
professional boxer. He is 52 years
old.
Willard Demanded Rickard.
The appointment of Rickard as
one of the judges was one of the de
mands of Champion Jess Willard,
Rickard said today.
."I would much rather had some
one else take the job," Rickard said
"but Willard held out for me, even
suggesting me as referee. He was
so insistent in his demands that I
finally had to accept."
Pecord will be in complete charge
of the boxers while they are in the
ring. If the contest results in a
knockout he will have sole charge
of the counting. If the contest goes
the 12-round limit, the two judges
will attempt to decide the winner,
and if they fail to agree Pecord w'll
cast the deciding vote.
