Plestina's Manager
Says Pesek's Rest Is
"Bunk" Is Matched Now
J. C. Marsh, manager of Marin
Plestina, contributes the following
letter for our sports department:
"We are in the city again and
called the other evening to see you,
but you were not in. I am just drop
ping you a line to call your atten
tion to John Pesek. You remember
when I challenged him to meet Ma
rin Plestina and posted $1,000 with
your paper that Plestina could throw
him twice in 90 minutes that his
manager, Mark Slattery, came back
with a reply stating that Pesek was
taking a much needed rest. In my
reply to Mr. Slatterjrl stated that I
knew that the rest talk was all bunk,
they did not dare to match Pesek
against Plestina, even at the odds I
offered. We went west and hardly
were we out of the state when Pe
sek wrestled Gus Kavaros at Lex
ington, Neb. Pesek is now matched
to meet Steve Savage, Charley Cut
ler, John Freburg, Paul Martinson
and Gus Kavaros. The first four
wrestlers are all managed by Joe
Coffey of Chicago. Four of these
men Pesek has met before. He has
met Savage twice, Freburg once,
Martinson twice and Kavaros once.
Why does he take them on instead
of Plestina if he is the wrestler he
claims to be? The Police Gazette
gives Plestina a clear title to the
championship and you would think
that any square wrestler would be
anxious to get a chance at Plestina,
for every wrestler knows that the
first man who defeats Plestina will
be the most talked of wrestler in the
world. We are matched to meet
Chris Sorenson at Lincoln on the
11th, and will be a great match, for
Sorenson is a good, game wres
tler." Jim Barnes, Western
Open Champion, Leads
Field in Meet in South
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 9. Jim Barnes
of Sunset Hill, western open cham
pion, led the field at the end of
the second day of the southern open
golf championship tournament here,
with 146 for the 36 holes played
Monday and Tuesday.
Robert T. Jones, jr., runner-up in
the national amateur championship,
and K. Douglas Edgar, Canadian
open champion, were tied for sec
ond place with 147.-
The tournament ends tomorrow
with 36 holes play.

SEASON OPENS IN
STATE NEXT WEEK
High School Foot Ball Teams
Turn Out Preparing
for First Games
Next Week.
The 1919 foot ball rulos as pub
lished by the national committee on
rules contain but two minor changes,
trailers of precedents established in
the three years past, demonstrating
in part the degree of perfection to
which originators or the game have
arrived.
The first alteration deals with
rough tactics, following a long line
of deprecations originating after the
abolition of the "flying tackle," hurt
ling, "flying wedge," piling up, etc.
The second deals with the new open
style aerial play.
The alterations are:
1. Fifteen yards penalty for
knocking or "chipping" opponent
after whistle blows.
2. Time out on all incomplete for
ward passes.
Rough Tactics Censured.
The committee in establishing
these changes censures the rough
taclics employed last year especial
ly among service teams by soldiers.
It, however, excuses this on the
grounds that the atmosphere tinder
which the teams played, military
camps and the like, was excep
tional. Foot ball today is a clean game.
It owes much of this to the for
ward pass, lateral pass and other
features of the latter day so-called
"aerial attack." Because such tac
tics, scientific to the extreme, were
employed, the "line shift," the fake
end run and numerous other mysti
fying and breathless features de
veloped. Old Stars Replaced.
More to be emphasized, how
ever, is the fact that such diminu
tive stars as Maulbetch of Michigan,
Zuppke of Wisconsin, Casey of Har
vard, have assumed as much of the
limelight as the monster Heffel
finer of Yale, Eddie Hart and
"Bucky" Hall of Princeton . did in
the days gone by.
The game still lacks, however.
As Walter Eckersall, famous back
of the University of Chicago, some
times called America's greatest drop
kicker, says in the Chicago Tribune:
"Prep teams, caring little for prac
tice but eager for battle, are sent
into games too early, with the result
that team play and physical condi
tion, two important factors in the
success of any team, are sadly lack
ing." As correction, "Eckie" recom
mends that scholastic captains
should emulate as much as possible
the training methods established by
college mentors. He says: "Too
much stress cannot be laid upon
physical condition. Lack of proper
training means that instead of re
ceiving benefits from the game the
athlete's health is impaired for years
and sometimes for life."
Scholastic teams commence play
about September "15. Omaha has
three teams in the field. Central,
Commercial and South High schools.
Other teams outstate who usually
take the lead are: Lincoln High,
Temple High (Lincoln), Grand
Island. Beatrice, North Platte, Nor
folk, Kearney and York High
schools.
Practice starts generally this week.
At Lincoln Coach Schulte and his
assistant, Paul Schissler, are anx
iously awaiting the opening of
school at the University of Ne
braska, September 17, to authorize
the official turnout of the Cornhusk
er squad. The Huskers have been
in touch with the Nebraska mentor
for several weeks and are anxious
to don the moleskins.
The Hawkeyes, who will be met
in the first game of the season, Oc
tober 4, have been in the field for
several days, according to reports
from Iowa City. Head Coach Jones,
anticipating strong opposition from
the Huskers, called his outfit into
action early last week. The Iowans
are fairly well stocked with veterans.

MURPHYS PLAY
ST. PAUL SUNDAY
ATFONTENELLE
City Commission Gives Per
mission to Enclose Grounds
and to Charge Admission.
According to announcement made
by Manager Eddie Lawler of the
Murphy-Did-Its, Greater Omaha
league pennant winners and Class
A city champs. "Butch" Hay, the
chack hurler will be on the firing
line Sunday afternoon against the
Gordon-Fergusons, Class A. A.
champs of the St. Paul Amateur
Baseball association.
Hay who has been pitching great
ball for the Murphy's all season,
has a record of nine shut out games
to his credit and he is considered
one of the best twirlers in this part
of the state.
"Butch" left the Murphy's several
weeks ago for his home at Burke,
S. D., on a business trip, and at
that time is was rumored that he
had jumped his contract. The re
port was immediately denied by
Manager Lawler and Bert Murphy,
backer of the team. He has been
under contract with the blacksmith's
all season and was given permission
to leave the team on account of the
business affairs at his home town.
Comes Thursday.
Hay will arrive home Thursday
afternoon and it is said he is in the
best of condition. The many thou
sands of Greater Omaha league fans
and followers of amateur base ball
will welcome this news, since Hay is
the most logical man for this cham
pionship battle.
By the score of 9 to 3, The Mur
phys defeated Grand Island Sunday,
in the final game of the season, prior
to playing the championship fray.
At no time of the game were the
locals in danger of losing, and the
pitching of Young Everett proved
too much for the former state
leaguers. Synek's fielding at third
for the blacksmith crew was sensa
tional. At Fontenelle Park.
The city commissioners at the
council meeting Tuesday granted
the officers of the Municipal Ama
teur Base Ball association permis
sion to put a canvas around the field
at Fontenelle park and to charge
admission Sunday to the double
header between the Murphy-Did-Its
and Gordon-Fergusons of St. Paul
in the final game for the amateur
championship of the Mid-West Am
ateur Base Ball association. As a
preliminary to this game, the
World-Herald team, champions of
class C, will also play the winners
of the St. Paul class B Sunday.
President of State
League Sends Out
Letters of Inquiry
Grand Island, Neb., Sept. 9.
(Special Telegram.) President C.
J. Miles of the former Nebraska
state base ball league has today
dispatched letters of inquiry of
devotees of the. game at Beatrice,
Lincoln, Fairbury, Norfolk, Colum
bus, Hastings and York with a
view of organizing an eight-team
league, including President Miles'
now home city, Grand Island, for
the season of 1920. In his letter
President Miles calls attention to
the fact that the attendance in all
of the base ball cities shows that
the game has come back with the
cessation of the war and asks each
to express his opinion as to the ad
visability of calling atate meeting
in the interest of a state league and
his choice of the meeting place.

BIG MATCHES ON

; 5
Plestina - Sorenson, Pesek-'
Cutler and Peters-Kervaros;
Bouts Carded for This X
Month.
Lincoln. Neh.. Sept. 9. (Special)
Predictions that September would
be a busy month for the heavy
weight wrestlers are being verified
by the announcement of a series of
Nebraska mat bookings in the heavy
brigade. The first important grap
pling engagement is the one dated
for next Thursday in Lincoln, where
Marin Plestina, the "big bear" and ,
challenger of all the heavy weights
in the world, will come to grips
with Scrgt. Chris Sorenson, heavy .
weight champion of the U. S. army.
Meantime, Manager Mart Slattery,
business agent for John Pesek, has
just finished booking the Buffalo
county wonder for a string of coun
ty fair engagements, chief of which
will be a Pesek-Charley Cutler
match, September 18, at Boone, dur
ing the Albion county fair. The
Albion management will make it a
double event by pitting Charley
Peters, the Sarpy county sheriff,
against Gus Kervaros, the Greek
heavyweight champion.
Charles N. Moon of Lincoln, pro
moter of the riestina-Sorenson '
tussle, today announced the nom
ination of Ernie Holmes, well known ;
Omaha sportsman, as referee of the
Lincoln bout this week. Moon's an
nouncement followed a trip to Oma
ha, where he pow-wowed with the
manager of Plestina and Sergeant
Chris. , ,
"Plestina and Sorenson are doing
their training in Omaha," said Moon,
"and both are in wonderful physi
cal condition. Sorenson has been
working out with Gus Kervaros,
who is preparing for his match with
Peters at Albion. Chris is doing .
ten miles on the road almost every
day, alternating with a stiff session
a . . 1 . . I. I I 1

Chris insists he is going to toss a
surprise into the Plestina camp.
Sorenson's record includes two vic
tories over such well known heavy- '
weights as, Steve Savage and John
Frieberg, and it would be foolish on
Plestina's part to underrate Soren- :
son or take anything for granted."

If OLDEST BRAND IN AMERICA f
High Costs Have
Increased Telephone Expenses
The telephone industry has been affected
by the same conditions which produced higher
prices for all of the necessities of life.
The cost of telephone operation has steadily
advanced because of the increased cost of ma
terial to the telephone company and the in
creased living expenses of employees.
For several years there has been a steady
increase in the price of nearly everything used
in the telephone business.
To meet increased expenses there has been
a general increase in telephone rates through
out the country.
