LEWIS ARRIVES IN CITY; TRAINED N ROUTE HERE "Strangler" Is in Best of Condition and Wants to Take Airplane Flight; Largest Advance Sale Known. Apparently fit to enter the ring today, "Strangler" Lewis arrived in Omaha last night for his Fourth of July match with Joe Stecher at the Auditorium. Not only was he fit physically, but the California wres tler was optimistic of his chances of winning the bout. During, the three-day ride from the coast the "Strangler" kept him self in training with daily workouts in a baggage car which he had fit ted up as a gymnasium. The light workouts enroute, the "headloxk" in ventor says, solved the biggest prob lem facing a wrestler traveling from cne city to another. Lewis refused definitely to com mit himself on the question of a referee beyond the statement that he would not agree on a Nebraska man officiating. Questioned whether Caddock would be satisfactory, he would only say that everything would be settled after Stecher ar rived in Omaha. Contemplates Airplane Flight. Lewis is contemplating an air plane flight over Omaha today. He has made several flights at army camps and is seriously considering an invitation to fly with pilots of the Omaha Flying company, who extended him an invitation by wire. Gene Malady, promoter of the July Fourth 'bout, says he will not permit the proposed flight to take place before the match. "If neces sary I will get out an injunction to stop such foolishness," he said, when Levis told him of the invitation. Stecher will arrive in Omaha late today and complete his training at the Omaha Athlet:c club, of which he is a member. He is still deter mined that a Nebraska man officiate as referee, he told Melady in a tele phone conversation yesterday. Earl Caddock. heavyweieht cham pion, has recently returned from a visit in Wyoming and is undecided whether he can officiate at the match. He has promised to attend a soldiers' homecoming at his home. Anita, la., on that date and says he does not want to disappoint the home folks. Should he he chosen referee he says he will come to Omaha on the Fourth in an airplane. "It is the only way I know of that I can bjn two places at the same time," he told Omaha friends over the tele phone today. Omaha aviators have made a bid to bring him to the match and reported last night that they believed it would be accepted. Largest Advance Sale Known. Manager Charles Franke of the Auditorium says the seat sale is the largest advance sale a wrestling match has ever had in'this city and he anticipates every seat being sold before the doors open at 1 o'clock. Carpenters have nearly completed the erection of the seats, which are arranged to comfortably accommo date the largest crowd ever as sembled in the Auditorium.

Tpledo, Ohio, July 1. (Special Tjelegrani.) Workouts at the two camps were brief today. Willard boxing three rounds each with Hemple and Monghan. In the sec ond round witli Monaghan, he rapped hi sparring partner behind the ear with his right and Walter spread-eagled all over the floor. He arose with blood in his eye, but try as he might, he couldn't land an effective blow on the champion. The challenger did no boxing at all, but shadow boxed three rounds, punched the bag until he broke the string and slammed the sand bag for three rounds. Both champion and challeneer are i in excellent hane and a ereat battle will un- doubtedly be fought on the i-ourtniNew York crowd. of July. Dempsey s speed will on set Willard s superior hitting aDii ity to a great extent, but in the end, it is my belief, that Willard's great weight advantage, together with his longer reach and greater . height, will give him the edge. Will Make History. The battle will surely be a history-making encounter, and the win ner will be hailed as the greatest of all champions. It is my opinion that Willard will remain champion after the bout and that he will meet Georges Carpentier here in the fall in the same arena in which he meets Dempsey Friday afternoon. Each declares he will win. Wil lard was the first one I interviewed and he declared that he expected the challenger to give him a rous incr old battle, but sometime before time for the 10th round, DempseyJ wouldn't be there. He thinks that his left will hold Jack off until he finds the right opportunity for his crashing right and when that right lands, the fight will be over. " Challenger Dempsey ,is just as confident that he will.be the winner and that the scrkp won't last over six rounds. Jack is certain- that he will get inside the champion's long left and batter away at the body until he force Willard to bemd over witm'n reach of his uppercut. Dempsey is placing great reliance on that uppercut and realizes that for it to be effective, he must bring the big fellow down lower within reach of it. This he declares he will do with terrific body punish ment. Jack says he will prove to the fans that Willard can be hurt inxthe body and that the stunt of letting his sparring partners batter away at the stomach was not to be thought proof that his abdomen was "impervious to punishment. Jack Kearns. Dempsey's manager, says that the challenger's blows will land at unexpected times and that the title holder will not have time to set his stomach for the blows, ss he does in his training. Now-you have iu Each man de clares he will be the winner. Take your choice. Fans, newspaper writers, fighters and ex-fighters are unable to determine just who will be the winner. SJenny Leonard, writing Jor a syndicate, has not picked a winner yet. Tommy Ryan, former middleweight champion, says he is unable to say who will win. Fijank Moran says Witlard is 3 cinch. Charley Matliison. the fa mous cross-counter for the New , rC "j "- -- York Times, says the title will not change hands. .Otto Floto is just as certain that it will. Bat Master son is betting money on Willard. Betting is slow and at evens. Bookmakers are charging 10 per cent for making bets and the small bettors are laying off on this ac count. A half dozen fans from Tulsa, Okl., are here with a roll to place on Willard. They just blew in ."this morning and haven't run into the New York crowd with all the Dempsey money yet, but they will probably get together some ime today and a good wager in all likelihood will result. Ons book maker here has $2,500 which he is trying to place against $10,0Q0 that Dempsey wirts within six rounds.

Billy Miske, light heavyweight chamoion. arrived in Toledo this morning and Jack Reddy. his man ager, declares that Billy is in snape to enter the ring right now against Battling Levinsky, whom he meets at the Rossford open air arena Thursday night. Promoter Jimmy Shea expects a record house at his show, for the fans will want to get warmed up before the heavyweight title mill, and they will surely go ever to see the light heavies battle for their title. Levinsky .has been working with Jack Lavan and two or three other heavies for the scrap in the arena in which he will meet Miske. There is very little betting on the Miske-Levinskv battle. Miske being the champion is naturally the favor ite at 6 to S, but it is HKeiy inai u will be evan money before the fight.
