MELADY REPLIES TO JACK CURLEY ON HAT TITLE Caddock's Manager Declares - Earl Never Retired and Gave " Out No Statement to That Effect. Mid-West Bowling .' " l J By C. J. Cain- Tonight's Schedule. i After readingvjaek Curley's story , of why Joe Steclwr is the real heavyweight wrestling champion. Gene Melndy. Caddock's manager, issued the following reply: "Jack Curley makes the statement and circulates it throughout the country that, in his opinion. Joe Steelier is the champion wrestler of " the world, and while Mr. Curley1 is considered a great authority on j-ports in general, he certainty has . made the blunder of his life in at ' tempting "to pronounce Stecher the worlds champion when no one ; knows beftrr than himself that Cad- ' dock is the real champion heavy weight, wrestler of the world and has never made an announcement to the effect that he had retired from ' the game. , "Certainly Curley must know that it is not in his power to proclaim , any man he sees fit a champion. The championship crown must be achieved by an athlete and cannot tie wished upon him. : Mr. Curley admits that Joe Stecher was the real champion of the world when he wrestled Earl Caddock in Omaha 'April 9. 1917. He does not ssy very much about what happened at that match, but 7,000 Omaha fans can verify the fact that Caddock threw hfecher two falls out of three, even though one fall was not allowed by the referee, and in acknowledge ment of his defeat Joe Stecher re- lusjed to come back and take a , chance with the wrestling marvel of the world Caddock. N- Doesn't Dispute Title. , "Never has StecheP at any time or place tried to discredit Caddock's right to the championship. Joe Stecher is too thoroughly the,sport to make such a claim, and why Cur- vley should try to make this claim for Slecher, is hard for me .to fig ure out. "Curley goes into detail with re gard, to how championships were handed back and forth in days gone by, but we are now in a new era of : sports, on' a cleaner, more level plane than ever before in the history . of the game, and it is ridiculous for ' anyone to attempt to dethrone the -champion of the world by such statements as he is circulating. ' "In conclusion of his statement, Curley says that if Stecher were to wrestle Caddock, the announcer would he forced to introduce Stecher as T'lC Clianipron ana wuuuti as uic challenger, and if an announcer at , tempted this in the middle, west, he would be shot at sunrise. It seems queer that Mr. Gdrley never circu vlatediany claim in behalf of Stecher until 'he learned a short time ago .i... t-i r.jj i. . L - Tnar r.nn Lanuncx wits- nuw iil iuc best form of his life and 'ready to start wrestling. It seems th an nouncement that Caddock would . iaKe on an icgunuaic niutu the championship crov has put some awful fear into Cm ey's heart, ancl without doubt he is anxious tp discredit Caddock so that Joe Stech er will not have to wrestle him. as .ha ':nows when they meet, that Cadc'ock will dump him, and do it quicker than he did in 1917. "Caddock has wrestled every wrestler of note in America today and has never lost a match. Can Jpe Stecher, Or any other wrestler living make the same claim? Even Jack Curley will have to acknowl edge this." Jimmy Drexel Coming Back, Scores Victory Over "Bat" Strayer A wire received from Walthill. Neb., states that Jimmy Drexel : made good in his initial "comeback' battle, dealing out a tasty lacing to Battling Strayer in a 10-round bout. A Tight-cross to the chin put Stray er down for a nine count in the sec ond round, but the ."Battler" stalled x through to the bell and succeeded in staying the limit, though heVas n. lit.

Both of these Scott Tent stars rolled a steady, consistent game. Sciple totaled 623 and Stunz trailed right behind him with 618. In the singles Stunz also rolled a good total with a 606 count. Lots of excitement and good roll ng featured the team contests- in the evening. The Francisco Majors of Denver, rolling in the second squad, scorei high for the evening with a count of 2760. , The Peoria Association of Commerce No. 1 were high in the first squad and second high for the evening with a 2741 total. i A Lincoln pair, Frank- Spangler and E. Duncan, rolled into sixth place in the doubles with 1162. .-Rolling commences at 7:30 this morning and will continue with a solid filled schedule until the close of the tournament at midnight Mon day. Twenty-four fast teams from Chicasro. Milwaukee, Kansas City, Toledo and Minneapolis will per form1, the first squad going on at S o'clock this evening. Famous teams and famous bowlers are in the line up; which will be seen in action. Throughout the day today the teams rolling last night will roll their doubles and singles. Entries are already coming in for the big sweepstakes Monday night. The entry list is limited to 16 teams, so it will be necessary to get in early to compete. Those Lincoln rollers surely stuck with us and did more than was ex pected of them, with their six-team entry.' Yesterday they sent up a crowd 'of good bowlers, bad bowlers, enthusiast and everything that makes up a real live bowling crowd. They are determined to make Lin coln a big spot on the bowling map and they are going about it in the right way. Tournament bowling is the real life of the game and they're not missing any. Nothing big is ever, done in the game without first getting the grand old man's opinion, and hit opinion is always a good one.-"None other has done' more for the game' than he. Another distinction he somewhat en joys is the fact that he his attended every tournament for years and has never won a medal, although he is a good bowler. All. his former teammates are wearing huge strings of, hardware, but Dave never hap pened to be in with them when they won them. Todav the big birds arrive. Be on hand to watch them, fly. No better hock ot stars ever nas peen seen to gether at one time. .L -Thirteen Chi cago, three Milwaukee, four Kansas City, three Minneapolis and one To ledo teams are on the schedule. All are; crack squads, , Nick Bruck will' claim the heavy weight championship of the tourna ment. Nick s waist is about 99 inches, his genial smile about a foot wide, his following of. friends and admirers reaches around the world and he throws the.ball a mile a min ute.' If you care tcrtnow any more good things about him ask any bowler and you're engaged for the day. .- ..'-: Another big man in the game who is'with us today is Matt Blan of Mil waukee. He is a booster of the Mid dlewest association, holding an of fice in it. He learned lone since what this association is and saw to it that 'Milwaukee was one of its strongholds. . The Bowlers Journal team, roll ing today, is the crack organization which won the championship in the tournament held here in 1915. Baumgarten. rollins with them, is the present international champion, whfch he won at St. Paul last Feb ruary. - Sindelar is -the all-event champion of the Iillinois Bowling association. Lempuhl is the pres ent individual champion of the Chi cago Bowling association, which won by rolling 737, the highest total ever rolled in a large tournament. Ehlman is the crack left-hander, considered-by many to be the best portsider in the game. With AI Lea, he won the two-men championship of the Middle West association in St. Louis in 1916. They have a trained pig for a mascot, which they take to all tournaments. She bowls, under the name of Gene vieve and is the only pig that is al lowed to ride in Pullman cars, Frank Kafora, .the ex-Rourke catcher, rolls this evening. He is one of Chicago's best pingetters, at one time winning three first-place medals in one tournament, the only bowler that accomplished such a feat. Frank has better, control on the alleys than he had pegging them to second, when he was catching for Pa's Sterlings. ,The Commodore-Barrys, rolling tonight, were twice world's cham pions, the only team ever known to come right back and repeat the next season in the world's A. B. C. cham pionship contests. They -roll to night at 7:15 p.- mi 'COUNT GENGLER WILL BOWL HERE AGAINST SMITH Famous Belgian Freak Pin Getter on Team in Same Squad With Champion Jimmy Smith. ' John Gengler of Chicago,' better known as "The , Count,"- closest rival of the famous Jimmy . Smith, peer of all bowlers, is the world's most artistic and" most eccentric bowler. This' is only a1 small part of the famous Belgian's history. He can undoubtedly furnish the most varied exhibition of bowling iniag- r Huskersv Win Over Syracuse Ianks Among Leading Games Coach Schulte and Nebraska University Placed in N Same Class as Four Other Big College Victors - In Thanksgiving Day Contests. ; Singles. Secretaries Locker and Eidson are anxious for the local bowlers to be on the job at 7 o'clock Sunday morn ing to act as scorekeepers. The tour nament has already been a huge suc cess, due to its' excellent manage ment and assistance given by the local bowlers.' Keep it up especially today i and tomorrow, when the schedule is the heaviest. Big 'Bill Laidlow blew in yester day and he is the same old booster. This time it is the.A. B. C. to be held in Peoria in March. Of course he is boosting the Middlewest association all the time, but hq has already de clared it a success this season, and he with the rest of the crowd, is out to make the A. B. C in Peoria the best ever. The Scott Tents were working too hard in their team match. Several breaks against them in the last game ruined their chancers. The boys were clouting that head stick right in the nose. . The Chicago delegation will be headed by David Luby, editor of the Bowlers' Journal of Chicago, re cently elected vice president of the Middlewest Bowling association and holder of executive positions in about all of the other large bowling associations. The Windy City bunch swears by Dave. If he was to start a church of his own they would all join it, and that goes for all other cities.. He has the personal ac quaintance and thorough friendship of every bowler in the United States. Watch the Little Pimples; ' They are Nature's Warning Unsightly and Disfiguring Sig ,. K nab of Bad Blood. Don't close your , eyes to the warning which nature gives, when unsightly pimples appear on your fare and other, parts of the body. Not only are these pimples and splotches disfiguring, but they lead to serious skin diseases that spread and cause the most discomforting 1 irritation and pain. Sometimes they foretell Eczema, boils, blisters, scaly eruptions and ' other annoyances that burn like flames of fire, and make you feel that your skin is 'ablaze. . - When these symptoms appear on any part of tfcebody, take prompt steps to rid the blood of these dis orders." And the one remedy which has no equal as a cleanser is S. S. S., the purely vegetable blood medi cine, which has been on the mar ket for more-than fifty years. It is sold by druggists everywhere. . If you are afflicted with any form of skin disease, do not expect to be. cured by lotions, ointments, salves and other local remedies, as they can not possfbly reach the source of the trouble, which is in the blood.'

Here are some of his stunts, vastly -different from those of other bowlers. He stands at the foul line, taking but one step when delivering the ball, he rolls either a hook, or a backup' and mixes them up, it de pending on the alley upon which he i rollintr. shoot nearly as well with phis left hand as with his right, and often in a regular match will throw an occasional ball this way. Is a master of the. old European style of throwing the ball, that is, he can palm the ball instead of using the finger holes and do it witji the same accuracy. He has a wonderful keenness for play on strange al leys. " He toured the United States, rolling exhibition matches with Jimmy Smith. He is a gentleman, and a friend of all his associates in his world-wide a?quaintrce with bowlers. Shoots for big stakes, but enjoys the game just as well if it is for coffee xand doughnuts. Geng ler is also a wonderful billiard play er and just as artistic and eccentric in this game as in bowling. Shoots the ball with his hand and puts the English on with ' his nimble fin gers. Last, but not least, he was a citizen of Omana for two weeks, shortly after commencing his bowling career in the United States, is known by and has many friends among Omaha bowlers. He rolls here with the Imperial Leather Co. of Chicago, on Saturday and Sun day, November 28 and 29. Anyone interested in bowling, who misses seeing this wizard perform, would miss his own funeral. , 0. A. C. Director Made Red Cross Examiner For Life Saving Corps G. P. WendeH, director of swim ming at the Omaha Athletic club, has. been appointed an examiner in the life saving corps of the American-Red Cross. Mr. Wendell has taken the various examinations of the Red Cross and is well qualified to take charge of this work. The casualties from drowning in 1919 have been severe and the great er number of fatalities resulted be cause of a lack of swimming knowl edge and of any id6a of how to ef fect a rescue of a drowning person and to resuscitate him. Mr. Wen dell is "the able leader of a move ment create a greater interest in swimming and life saving in this section of the country.

Of the four of five important vifr toriei won by foot ball elevens in various sections of the United States during the season jnst passed, the Nebraska victory over Syracuse' at Lincoln Thursday ranks among the first.. V Coach Henry Schulte, entering the national arena a "dark horse" amonp-big college mentors, in send ing his team to a win over the east em champions, gained a prominence tor himself and the .Husk r institu tion that will not soon be forgot ten. East Against West. ' The defeat of "the New Yorkers was decisive. There can be no doubt that Head Coach "Buck" O'Neill had his men, in his own nynd, in top form, confident that they would "show up" the west. In a word the clash was one of east ern foot ball against western foot ball. . . Four remarkable developments featured the Husker-Orange game. These are: . 1. The powerful Syracuse back field, with its "all-American" for ward wall, was never able to pene trate beyond.the Nebraska 24-yard line. 2. .Captain Paul Dobson, in east ern circles -and particularly in the notebook of "Sir Walter" Camp, an unknown, easily outpunted Ackley, premier punter of the east, by eight yards per punt. ( 3. Syracuse was unable to cross the goal line of an opponent for the first time this season; whereas the Husker backs smashed through to a touchdown which was disal lowed on a technicality.. 4. The forward passing game of the New York team, which gained the easterners their most notable victories over Colgate and Brown and ifc truly representative of east ern foot ball as compared to west ern, was impotent throughout West on Par With East It is to be admitted, then, in the light of these facts, that western foot ball, despite the many reverses of the season, is on a par with' that of the. east. At this moment it is interesting to note that Notre Dame university, a distinctly western team, is the only major team to pass through the season undefeated. - Nebraska, in the second game of the season, fought "Doc" Williams University' of Minnesota eleven to a 6-to-6 tie. Those who saw the game among the northern state's own fol lowers admitted that the Huskers were superior to the Williams com bination. And Minnesota has since defeated Wisconsin and Michigan, leaders in the western conference. Illinois, a team that barely de feated Iowa on a', fluke play an onside kick finally won the championship-by decisively defeating Ohio State, captained by "Chick ' Harley,- the versatile and brilliant halfback. , v Though Nebraska is not a mem ber of the Missouri Valley confer ence, the decisive victories over Kansas and Missouri, whtch teams fought for the valley title Thursday, Missouri winning. 13 to o. gives Me' braska a olace in the sun as a free lance.

Lees of the State university that Nebras ka would, never re-enter the "Mis souri Valley onference so long as that conference permitted itself to be led by "prejudiced, biased, nar row men." In the same breath Dr. Lees intimated that Nebraska was angling for a place in the western conference. . The point at least is proven that hc Huskers, even in "desperate straits," are equal to any team in the country. Boycotted by the Missouri Valley conference it will henceforth be the policy of the state institution to indutge in meetings with the very best teams in the east and middle west.. , ARMY-NAVY GAME TODAY CLOSES GRIDIRON SEASON Military and Naval Acad emies Wind Up Foot Ball Year in Contest at Polo Grounds. ; New York. Nov. 28. The foot ball season of 1919 will close tomorrow 'afternoon when the rival teams from the United States military and naval academies meet in their gridiron bat tle at the Polo grounds in tis city. The contest will be the first between the two service teams since 1916, the contests f last year and the year before having been abandoned because of the war. From.a social standpoint the game bfttween the Army and Navy elevens eclipses all others, as it attracts a most representative gathering of so ciety leaders, army and navy offi cers, diplomats and. others promi nent in 11 walks of life. Seated in the various boxes around the field of play tomorrow will be sev eral members of President Wilson's cabinet, high officers of the army and navy, members of the foreign diplomatic corps at Washington, senators, congressmen, and many other national, state and city offi cials. The battalion of cadets of eacn acaucniy win aucua uic game. The Army-Navy game is the most popular ont the foot ball ScheduU of the year. The uniforms uf of ficers, the parading across the field of the battalions of gray-clad cadets and. the regiment of blue-uniformed midshipmen, the martial music of the big Brass bands, and the com mingling of the colors of the Amer ican flag with the blue and gold of the navy and 'the gold and gray of the army, give a pictuirsque setting that is inspiring. Hotel managers declare the res ervations this year outnumber those on any similar occasion in the past. Hundreds of rooms in the big hotels were secured by mail or telegraph weeks ago, "and persons making last hour calls are all receiving the same reply, "Sorry, but there . is not a place left." ' . ' The rival elevens appear to bs rather evenly matched, although it is possible the West Pointers will rule slight favorites before the whistle sounds for the opening- of hostilities. Both teams have made good records during the .season with the art. record showing the better performance. Aegro Foot Bali Classic Results in No Score Tie Philadelphia, Nov. 28.
