THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1919. 11 INTERNATIONAL TITLE MATCH IN 0PA0NDEC.5 World's Champion Caddock Meets Sam Clapham, English . Champ, at Local Auditorium " Early . Next Month. It was announced yesterday by Gene Melady, manager of Earl Caddock, the real and only world's champion heavyweight wrestler, that the title holder would make his first appearance since his return from France, where he fought the Germans to a standstill, with the U. S. army, at the Omaha auditorium. Mclady will promote Caddock s re turn to the mat game and has signed Sam Clapham, heavyweight cham pion of Great Britain to meet Earl for f the world's title, in a finish match, best two out of three falls, on JJecember 5. A long siege of trailing in the southern ranch lands has out Cad dock in prime condition, according to a wire received by his manager last night. The champion is, at present, in Hot Springs, South Dakota. He stopped for a day or two at the springs to rest before making the final leg of the overland trip to his home at Anita, la., by automobile and was snowbound and unable to proceed further for a, time. Training quarters were secured in Hot Springs and Earl continued the work of getting himself in condition for his return to the mat game. In Great Shape In his wire to Melady, Caddock says he is in great shape, weighing 100 pounds, far more than he ever weighed in his life. His work since July 5, has made practically a few man of him, he says, and he is ready now for any wrestler in the world. Taking him at his word, Melady immediately closed with the Great Britain champion, for an in ternational championship match, on the date mentioned above. Caddock was notified by wire and will prob ably continue his training at the South Dakota resort. The significance of the match, alone, will be attractive to wrestling fans all over the country. An In ternational affair of any description, always causes great interest. An added item of interest to local fans is the fact that this will be the first test the champion has had since his return from overseas. Caddock, be ing the only wrestler of prominence in the great war, would probably draw a tremendous house against any mediocre preformer,. but risk ing his title in a match with the champion of a foreign country, will make him a greater drawing card than could be expected with any other wrestler.

DISEASES Will Never Come From Salves, Ointments, or Other Local . Treatment. Usually those who continue to suffer from stubborn ail ments are those who refuse absolutely to heed the teach ings of medical science. New discoveries are being con stantly made, and those who fail to take advantage of the wonderful accomplishments of men of science are standing in their own light, and will continue under the handicap of disease. A million gallons of lotions, ointments, salves, or other forms of local treatment will not give any real permanent relief from skin diseases. Get this iact tirmiy in your mmd, and there. is hope for you. If you have ever been af flicted with eczema, tetter, boils, eruptions, or other sim ilar skm irritations you can appreciate the real terrifying discomfort that comes from ' these disorders. And what you are looking for is not merely temporary, paliative relief that may cause the ter rible' burning and itching to abate for awhile, but real gen uine relief that shakesoff the shackles of the disease, and restores the skin to its former healthy condition. But your eczema, tetter, boils, pimples, acne, scaly skm .eruptions, and burning fiery Irritations that cause so much Q18CUIIUUI 1. UJf nidi kCllllJillg itching, come from a tiny dis ease germ In your blood, which multiplies by the mil lions, i. nese germs una some nroalr snot where thev ran break through t&e skjn and sej up their attack, and if you have ever nad any form of these skin disorders, you know what real torture is. Follow the teachings of science, and you will learn that the skin is fed by the blood, and naturally, then, the condition of your skin will de pend upon the condition of your blood. If the blood be comes infested with millions of tiny disease germs that at tack the skin, then the fiery irritation and intense itchifig will remain with you until these germs are attacked, at their source and removed from the blood. - Genuine relief, therefore, can only be expected from a treatment that goes right to the seat of the trouble, and strikes at its cause. Such a remedy is S. S. S., the reliable old blood purifier that kills the germs of disease, and sends a new supply of rich red blood coursing through the veins. S. S. S. has been used suc cessfully in some of the worst cases of eczema and other skin disorders, and it can be relied upon to cleanse the blood thoroughly of the germs which cause these complaints. S. S. S. is also a splendid tonic and system-builder, and it builds up and adds, new vigor to the whole system. Go to your drug store and get a bottle of S. S. S. today, and begin the right treatment for skin diseases.

Wesleyan against Kearney Normal, dt University Place. Cotner against York, at York. By KARL LEE. Lincoln, Nov. 12. (Special.) Ernie Frank's battling Yorksters will have a task in defeating the Cotner Bulldogs in their game this week if the dope has any signifi cance. Frank's eleven, which won the state title from Wesleyan two weeks ago, is badly cut up with the absence of several stars who left school, rumor has it. In the Bulldog camp at Bethany, Head Coach Kline, former mentor at the University of Nebraska, is coaching his men with on object in view to lower the haughty west ern city banner. Kline, contrary to statement made in last week's re view, is coaching at Cotner rather than at Doane. The error was typo graphical. Bethany Lauded. Cotner's showing against the University of Nebraska freshman team at Nebraska field is the di rect cause of the lauding compli ment to Bethany eleven. Though Kline's backs did not score against the Uni Scrubs, they come so close to it at times that spectators all agreed that the Bulldogs were much improved. Several stars did not play. In another division of 'the state argument, the Peru defeat by Doane came as a distinct surprise. Coach Speer s combination which easily de feated Kearney, 26 to 0, two weeks ago was rated as a formidable team. But the Tigers came on with a rush and crossed the Normalite goal line for the first time this season. It was Peru's second defeat. Pivotal interest is being shown in this week's meetings. Aside from the Catner-York clash, which may result disastrously, for the much vaunted leaders,-the Doane-Hastings tangle at Hastings, the Midland-Centra game and the Wesleyan-Kear-ney game at University are also at tractions. The latter game will draw a large Greater Lincoln crowd, it is expected. Coach Beck's athletes at the Methodist institution, though de cisively beaten by York are quite content to rest with second honors which, due to conditions, are looked to as first honors. The Methodist coach contests the eligibilty of some York players who helped de feat his men and after the game for mally "severed relations with that school. ' The Wesleyan eleven will fight hard in consequence to retain second place and it will have to be a much stronger team than has been representing Kearney Normal to trail the University Place colors. Kearney is known for its strong line but so is Wesleyan and more than that the Methodists have one of the fastest backfields in the state. Midland and Central will do battle. Hasn't Won a Game. The latter college, situated at Central City, in the heart of the Swede belt of the state, has not won a game this year. Unlike Grand Island, however, the Central lads are sticking the season out and will make one big effort to beat the Fremont college team on its own ground. Midland has been coming . strong, 'however, though facing a record of three de feats and one victory. During the closing weeks of the conference race, an intense inter est is being shown in the "who's who" of the all-state foot ball eleven. On every side the comment is made that Nebraska state colleges have shown a brand of gridiron warfare that is second to none among secondary institutions. This is ev idenced by the defeat of the Uni versity of Wyoming, 14 to 0, by Wesleyan last week. ' BOWLING By O. 3. CASS. Middlewest Tournament Notes Entries close at midnight tonight. Thdse who do not get in today will have to be spectators only. The Middlewest Bowling association has grown so large that they do not have to resort to the acceptance of belated entries in order that they may boost the number of entries received. The work of the schedule committee commences immediately. Association Secretary Locker will be here to aid in this difficult task. If the usual amount of last-day en tries are received, this seasan's entry will eclipse all others. Present con servative estimates are that 100 vis iting and 75 local teams will com pete. Entries received today were the. Godfrey Jewelers, South Side: United States Rubber company, and Stock Yards National bank, also an outside entry for team doubles and singles from Westside, la., a town without bowling alleys, but with plenty of enthusiasm. Every bowler has a chance in a tournament of this kind. Walter Pierce, a Pueblo bowler, averaging around 165, won the singles of the A B C- tournament at Peoria in 1914, with a 711 total, the highest ever Tolled in a national tourna ment at that time. Our own "Wal ly" Schoenman won the all-event championship of the Middlewest tournament in Kansas City in 1913, when he was considered but a medi ocre bowler arid was rolling as the sixth man on the Old Saxon Brau team. ' In a nine-game series, any bowler who can average 150 or bet ter, has a chance to win. Besides that, he will have the pleasure of rolling in one of the season's largest sporting events. Any bowler can get in the doubles and singles to day. By so doing he will be placed in the team event without expense to himself. Bowlers entered in either the doubles or singles can be placed on a five-man team without expense to themselves. There are many teams to be made up and the players en tered in cither the doubles or singles will be given the first choice for places on these lineups. The Schmidts, former national champions, is another eleventh hour entry. This is one of the strongest bowling lineups and tour nament teams in the country They will be ont of the tournament's main drawing cards. Several goods rollers are looking for partners in the doubles. Secre taries Eidson and Jarosh have the list. Any bowlers not hooked up can get a good choice of -doubles partners by referring to this list. Several outside entries have been turned back because they couldn't De piacea on me scneauie as re Quested. These are usually sent in ""uU 'uSS again with a request to give them any available date. Get ready for that Weekes-Fan-ton entry from Atchison, Kan. The locals are betting 10 to one that it will be wired in at 11:59 o'clock to night. - - Every alley house in the city should have a team entered bear ing its name. It boosts their own game.

A number of letters addressed to the Sports Editor have found their way to the writer, questioning why I did not write more on the boxing game and boost this sport for Ne braska. Goshermighty, fellows, how can I write intelligently on a sport that is taboo in the state? Legalize boxing in Nebraska and I will give you the best little sport page in this section of the country. It is rumored that another effort will be made at the next session of the legislature to have the game le galized in this state, and when that takes place, if the effort is success ful, I will give my readers the best "dope" on bouts to come, bouts passed and bouts that should be ar ranged they have read in some time. I am constantly keeping in touch with the sport and know what the leaders in the various divisions are doing, so that my work would not be all "stale" stuff. Even though the game is not legal in this state, Nebraska followers of boxing, Omaha fans especially, need not be without this sport alto gether. Mike Gibbons is billed to box Mike O'Dowd for the middle weight championship on Friday night, November i, and the local sportsman and booster for boxing, Gene Meladv.'has made it possible for Omahans to witness this great battle. Melady will have a special train for the fans, going to St. Paul to see the title mill. Already three carloads of fans have sent in reser vations and Gene will be able to take care of a few more, if the orders for seats and train reservations are in his hands before Saturday noon. The real lovers of the game, should crowd into this special and "take in" the championship scrap. It will undoubtedly be one of the greatest battles ever seen in' the middlewest. Another branch of soort will also be on tan, for the fans going to the Twin City on the Melady special, the great (jopher eleven playing one of the strong western foot ball contenders. It is a wonderful opportunity to see two branches of sport, between leaders of the respective games. Gene Melady has endeared himself to hundreds of boxing fans in this state, by his efforts to have the game of fisticuffs legalized in the state and by his efforts to make it possible for the Omaha fans to see the wonderful "phantom Mike" in action against the middleweight championof the world. Closer to home, the Council Bluffs Athletic association, .of which Al Fiori is president, will stage boxing contests in Council Bluffs, during tVi a enminff wintpr Xli initial ef fort of Fiori and his associates, took I ,nS sheriff. place November 1, when Billy Uvick and Harry'Williams staged a sensa tional four-round bout in the Bluffs auditorium. The bout was such a thrilling affair, that Fiori made if his business to rematch the pair and they will meet in a six-round mill in the same hall, on November 28, the day following Thanksgiving day. Another pix-round bout, be tween a Council Bluffs feather weight and some good Omaha feather, is also in tne making, to gro in the same show, as a semi-windup. Charlie Peters, the Sarpy county sheriff will meet some good heavy weight on the mat, as an added at traction. With boxing permitted in Council Bluffs, The Bee will give its read ers some good "dope" on the ring sport. Fiori's aggregation will stage bouts with the leading boxers in the country on the cards, if.Oma ha and CounciJ Bluffs fans will sup port it, by thalr attendance. .Fiori fs also working on a card for a De cember show. Nothing certain has, as yet, been announced regarding it, but it is thrjught that an oppon ent for Jimmy Drexel, the crack local lightweight, is being sought. Then, right here' in Omaha, on government grounds, where the state authorities have no authority, at Fort Omaha, Denny Ryan, the Knights of Columbus athletic direc tor, will stage a boxing show, with Jimmy Drexel meeting one of the leading lightweight boxers in the country, Frankie Callahan of To ledo, O., tomorrow night, Novem ber 14. With Callahan and Drexel in a 10-round mill, local fans may be assured of a rattling good scrap. Drexel and Callahan will meet at 135 pounds and as each has, at one time or another, met some of the best lightweights in the game, the battle between them should be one worth going a long way to see. After this outburst, which of my readers can say that I am not giv ing them the best news on the box ing game, that it is possible to get in this part of, the country? Jack Lewis, Demands Chance at Mat Title For Charlie Peters With the return to old form of Charlie Peters, his manager, Jack Lewis, has become imbued with the idea of a title match for the wrestl- In a letter to the sports editor, Lewis demands a chance at Earl Caddock, upon the latter's re turn to the mat game. The letter follows: "Sporting Editor, Omaha Bee: "I understand that Earl Caddock, who was the acknowledged wrestling champion of the world prior to his departure overseas with the Amer ican expeditionary forces, contem plates making a return to the mat game in Omaha, December 5, and that efforts are now being made to match him against a suitable . op ponent. 1 "Why would not Charlie Peters, popular Sarpy county sheriff, be a suitable opponent for Caddock for his first return match? Peters stands ready to wrestle Caddock on a winner take all basis, or any other basis, on December 5, or any other time. "Peters' record fully justifies a match with Caddock. Charlie is popular -with Omaha fans and wrestling followers in every city in which he has displayed his mat tal ents, because of his eager desire to mix promptly with his opponent. In wrestling skill he is a foe worthy of any diampion. The fact that he is willing to wrestle Caddock on a winner take all basis is sufficient evidence of his confidence in his ability to meet Caddock on even terms. "Peters concedes that. Earl Cad dock is the real champion, despite the claims of other wrestlers, but he does not care whether Earl's title hangs on the match or not. Caddock may keep his title, even thou?! he loses, as far as Peters is concerned, as all Charlie wants to do is wrestle Earl, which after all is what the fans want. 1 "Very truly yours, "JACK LEWIS." Reynolds Pins Risberg. Cedar Rapids, la., Nov. 12. Jack Reynolds, welterweight, pinned Joe Risberg, Galesburg, 111., to the mat twice in 11 minutes.
