turn from France, but has fully re
gained his weight

Earl, and the boys who come in with
cattle from his territory in the west
state he looks fit to wrestle a bear.
Earl will spend a few weeks at Hot
Springs, S. D., and will return to
his home in Anita early in Novem
ber, at which time he will be ready
to resume wrestling, and eligible

shape for next week's game, which
will be played at Harlan, la., with
the high school in that city.
Although the team lost its fourth
game of the season to Creighton

excellent shape for the game next
week.
The business lads emerged from
the battle with Creighton . with a

"Duke" Levinson received minor in
juries in the game last week. Some
of the injured men did not show up
for practice yesterday, but will ap

game. (
The Commerce squad's lme will
be considerably strengthened when
Frank Ross appears on the lineup.
He was a star before he enlisted in
the navy. He was discharged last
week and is coming back to school
for his old position as guard.
The foot ball squad, in a final
practice for the game with Harlan,

Given Signal Drill
And Practice Game
The Central High school foot ball
squad under the eagle eye of Coach
Harold Mulligan was put thiough a
stiff signal drill before they were al
lowed to scrimmage with the second
team of the school. The second
team players, enthusad by their re
cent victory over the Deaf and
Dumb team, put up a hard fight
against the strong and fast first
eleven, but with no avail, as the first
squad swept through their lines time
after time. ,
The Purple and White warriors
will go through a strenuous week of
practice in preparation fpr their
game Saturday with North Des
Moines High Saturday afternoon at
the Iowan's grid field. No stone is
being left unturned by the Central
High school mentor1 that wiM help
his team return with a victory.
Many fake plays, fluke passes and
straight foot ball plays will be used
by the team. Mulligan seems to have
an endless chain of these plays.

ASKS GUARANTEE

Peerless Joe's Brother-Manager
Demands Large Sum
to Sign for Match With
Shetton Farmer Boy. j
Is While in town last week, confer
ring; with Gene Melady, regarding
future matches for Joe Stecher, An
tone Stecher made the demand for
an $8,000 guarantee for a mat bout
with John Pesek. Heretofore, Mel
ady has been opposed to gjving
guarantees to wrestlers, preferring
to let them share in the proceeds on
a percentage basis. Realizing that
the fans of Nebraska want this
match, above all others, Mleady has
let the bars down on his prejudice
against pruarantees and offers Stech
er $5,000 for a tussle with the Shel
ton farmer boy.
The Stechers' demand for a guar
antee f $8,000 also includes a priv
ilege of accepting 35 per cent of the
receipts. Melady was somewhat
surprised that the Dodge boys
should ask for any stipulated sum
in doing business with him, as they
have always made considerable
money, working on a percentage for
him. Gene says it is the first time
the Stechers have ever asked for a
guarantee.
"There may be an angle that I
don't understand," says Melady, "so
I haj concluded to find out whether
Stecher is bluffing or really fears
Pesek. I am going to offer him a
flat rate of $5,000 for his end in a
Pesek imtch." Melady says further
that he is not entirely wild about
promoting: wrestling events, but
does like to put on a match occas
ionally that the public wants, so he
will try to get Pesek and Stecher
together.
If the Stechers accept Melady's of
fer of a $5,000 guarantee, the Oma
ha promoter will put the show on,
some time in November. This is a
match the Nebraska fans have wait
ed for 'or a long time and it should
pack the building if it is staged in
Omaha. Both of the big fellows
have great followings and fans from
all over the country would flock
into Omaha to see these two mat
giants in action. It is to be hoped
that SU'cher will see his way clear
to accept Melady's offer.

The Omaha bowlers have ..long
complained that they were nor get
ting enough space in the newspapers
for this particular sport, so, in order
to give them the space they so
richly deserve, The Bee sports de
partment has made arrangements to
play the bowlers up strong this
winter. The sports editor has not
the time to get out after the bowl
ing news and the local secretaries
are lax in sending in notes of the
various teams and leagues,, but de
spite this fact The Bee will hence
forth give them a line of news that
is bound to create an interest.
A new writer, one who knows
bowling from A to izzard and
known to all the local bowlers, C. J.
Cain, will be added to the sport
staff. Cain will handle all the bowl
ing news for this paper, his first
article appearing some day this
week. He is a .bowler, of no mean
repute himself and is also the Oma
ha writer for the National Bowler's
Journal of Chicago, the editor of
which paper commends him highly.
With the Mid-West bowling
tournament so near at hand,. Cain's
articles in The Bee should " be es
pecially interesting to local bowl
ers. Cain will endeavor to line up
the leagues in town and give them
the publicity in The Bee they crave.
The secretaries being so slow about
sending in their notes, there has
been no roans of knowing how
many leagues there are operating in
Omaha. A few scores from the
ncrth side teams and leagues have
been sent in, but only occasionally
are reports and scores sent in by
the south side rollers.
The Bee Staff.
During the winter, the staff of
The Bee sports department will be
augmented as occasion requires.
Aside from the articles from the
sports editor's typewriter, newsy
notes on various sport topics will be
published, written by local writers.
Abe Langtry, secretary of the
"American Bowling Congress," is
also writing some special articles on
bowling for this paper. Langtry's
stories appear every Sunday.
Francis Ouimet has a weekly article
on golf.
Collegiate foot ball will be cov
ered by Karl Lee and James A.
Shanahan. Correspondents from
each of the high schools will handle
the schcool foot ball and basket ball.
William O. Blozies will handle the
miscellaneous foot ball and basket
ball. Carl J. Cain will write the
bowling news and as each sport
comes to the fore, writers familiar
with each individual line will be
added to the staff.
More than 90 per cent of the
population of Omaha, including
both sexes, have a liking for some
kind of sport Some people like
one kind and and others hanker for
another. They like to read the news
of the sport of their individual lik
ing. The Bee will try to humor
every sport lover in the city by get
ting the news and printing it, of
every line of sport taking place, in
and around Omaha, if writers for
that particular line catybe secured.
Bluffs Show Postponed.
Finding it impossible to secure
the Bluffs Auditorium for the night
of October 25, promoter Al Fion
was forced to hold the entertain
ment over for one more week. This
makes the second time this - show
has been postponed, the first - time
being October 11, when the fear of
large gatherings enhancing the dan
ger of race rioting in and around
Omaha was rampant Fiori reports

Lew Tendler Loses on
Foul in Third Round
To J. Noye, St. Paul
DTnver, Colo., Oct. 21. Johnny
Noye, St Paul lightweight, tonight
was awarded a decision on a foul
over Lew Tendler of Philadelphia
in the third round of a scheduled
12-round bout. Tendler had the ad
vantage of Noye up to that round.
Mike Ertle of St. Paul won a de
cision over Harry Paul of Denver.
They were bantamweights.
Tendler was unable to reach Noye
until the second round, when he
forced Noye into his own corner
and showered him with rights and
lefts to the head and body almost
at will. Noye appeared to be in dis
tress, and Tendler was cautioned by
the referee against hitting low.
In the third, Tendler again took
the aggressive. , and, after a severe
beating from Tendler, Noye fell to
the floor in pain, asserting that he
had been fouled.
The fight was scheduled to have
been a 12-round, no-decision affair.
At the conclusion of the bout
Phil Glassman, manager of Tendler,
emphatically refuted the claims of a
foul. Glassman maintained that
every blow struck by the Phila
delphian was fair.
Dr. Alfred E. Max, official physi
cian of the club promoting the bout,
and who examined Noye a few
moments after the latter had made
his claim of foul, stated, that his ex
amination revealed no visible sign
of a foul blow, and added that in his
opinion the St. Paul fighter's physi
cal condition would have warranted
his continuing the fight '

that he can have the big hall across
the river on Nevember 1, and will
put the show over on this date.
The opening event will be one

final will be the four round boxing
bout between Billy Uvick and
Harry Williams. In the final.
Charles Peters, sheriff of Sarpy
county will meet Charles Hansen in
a finish match, best two out of

one and should be more than usually
attractive. It also presents the
opening gun in the battle to put
boxing on the sport prgram of
Council Bluffs.
An offer has been received from
Tommy Ryan, former middleweight
boxer, who is promoting boxing (in
Des Moines andSioux City, for the
seryices of Harry Williams against
Capt. Bob Roper or Sergt, Hugh

called off and Harry's manager was
forced to refuse it. Then November
1 was tendered, but this was after
the Iowa show had been set for that
date. Walker and Roper wiH. meet
in return engagement at Des Moines

City's Health Demands
Engineers' Co-Operation
City Health Commissioner Ed
wards outlined plans of disease pre
vention and health protection at a
banquft of the Omaha members of
the American Engineer association
iast night at the University club.
That the co-operation of a city's
engineers is essential to the health
department was shown by Dr. Ed
wards in that they were the ones to
look after the water supply, and in
a way should be-the engineers of
the food used by the people of the
city.
"The disposal of the city garbage,
rubbish, sewage, ashes and other
wastes s an engineering problem
itself," he said, "and the engineers
of a city are thus of material need
to the health department."

will send a foot ball team to Omaha
Saturday which hopes to repeat
Notre Dame's performance of last
week and defeat the University of
Nebraska through a combination of
speed and open style play.
Such a program means Coach
Bennie Owen will start a heavy,
staunch line, big enough to stop the
vicious line plunging which has fea
tured Nebraska's play this season,
and a speedy backfield and ends.
Forward passing will play a big part
in the Sooner offensive.
Oklahoma opened the season by
winning from Central Normal, 40 to
0, and then piled up a count of 157
io 0 against Kingfisher college, both
small schools. Then came disaster,
for Kendall college of Tulsa downed
Oklahoma, 27 to 0. Kendall used
the forward pass successlully while
the Oklahomateam work was poor.
The Sooners redeemed themselves
last week when they won from the
University of Texas at Dallas and
are training this week with more
vigor and fight than at any previous
time this season.
Coach Owen's line Saturday prob
ably will be Hamm, 193 pounds, cen
ter; C. Tyler, 225, and Captain Dea
con, 205, at guards; P. Johnston, 184,
and ,Smoot,205, at tackles, and R.
Johnston, 175, and M. Tyler, 16R,
at ends. This line will average 202
pounds from tackle to tackle.
Speed is a requirement for all
backfield men here, and Owen hac
nine men who have it. They are
Davis and Hardy, quarterbacks; Mc
Dermott, Luster, Boyle, Graham and
White, halfbacks, and Swatek and
Bechtold, fullbacks. Davis,x Mc
Dermott, Boyle and Swatek worked
most of the game against Texas and
completed six passes in 12 attempts.
This will be the second time Soon
er has met Cornhusker. In 1912
Oklahoma journeyed to Lincoln and
had the game tucked away until the
last quarter, when a touchdown gave
Nebraska the victory, 13 to 9.
