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. Anal Kj.11 T)rVAl
was. given the decision by the ref
eree. ...
Drexel's next bout will probably
bo with Billy Whelah of St. Paul,
. Tommy O'Brien, the "Pacific coast
champion or a return go with
Frankie Callahan at, Council Bluffs.

high place in the tournament prize
lists yesterday when 'Kiii" Sciple
and Myron Stunz cracked out a
total of 1241 in the doubles, which
places them in second place. 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

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

JIMMY SMITH '
inable. 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. ,

IT PLCASEi?
. BY -KARL LEE.
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

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

were superior to the Williams com
bination. And Minnesota has since
defeated Wisconsin and Michigan,
leaders in the western conference.

Favor Application.
Rumblings from .the Windy City,
where sits the august" "Big .Ten"
western conference, prior to the
uoUble Husker victory over Syra
cuse, forecasted iavorable action on
a Husker application for a seat in
the conferencA Walter Eckersall
has been openly optimistic as to the
possibilityr
It was stated long since by Di
rector of Athletics panics T. 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

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.
