14 THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY. JUNE 17. 1920. MELADY TRIES TO START QUARREL WITH UTECHER But Whether He Means it or Is Firing Opening Gun of Publicity Drive Is Uncertain. Ciene Melady has added his oice to the hymr 'late Jack Herrmann has been warbling luMilv re the attitude of one Joe Streher, Mr. Meladv is doing his hate hymn ing in behalf of Farl Caddock. who "ill be remembered as onre a chain pioti in the wrestling game. Herr mann is doing his in behalf of Stanis laus Zhysko, who Hermann says doesn't have to be a champion or ex-champion, he can beat 'em all anvhow. Omaha mat fans, may he surprised at the sudden outburst of Melady. It has been more or less understood and accepted that Steelier and Cad dock would tangle in Omaha on July 5. As soon as Joe beat Earl iack in New York last January mat fans here nodded their heads wise ly and commented: "Another match for Omaha on the Fourth of July." Write Your Own Ticket. Whether there has been a slip in the proceedings some place or whether the Melday groans are be ing uttered for publicity purposes is an issue for speculation. You can write your own ticket. But anyway this in substance is the Melady complaint: Joe and Tony Steelier and Gene Melady and Earl Caddock met in Omahn Monday. Gene was there as Caddock's manager and a bidder for the Stecher-Caddock match. Before the confab was over Cad dock beat it back to Walnut, la., in his car. . He said he was disgusted over the prospects of luring Joe into a ring with him. What Melady Says. And this is what Melady said after the conference broke up: "For several weeks I have been quietly s.-rklnff match for Caddork with Joe Sleclvrr. I rcfrHlned from sltnglnK mud and slood for Tony Steelier' stalling as long as I Intend to. First, he said for f'a.ddnrk to rebuild his reputation. This we did bv defeating Zbyszko and Lewis. Nvt time 7 called for an answer I was told that Joe was III. 1 stood for that but I noticed that Jos was well enough lo uremia others. "A. frw dnvs ago I specially Invited them to h present at last night's show. Soon as thev arrived they were surprls-d to find Caddock here. We held a meet ing gave In to all their terms and the more wo agreed the oftcner Tony chnnKl them and added new Impossible terms. I wanted the mntch for .luly 4 and Cad dock urged mo to grant thein every wish. Karl became convinced that Stecher was Insincere to give him a match and left for homo about 7:00 o'clock. "I.ate last night I again cornered the Dodge hoys Into a meeting and got no satisfaction. Tony and .Toe left with the final remark to me that there Is nothing ' '''"fere are some of the roints we w ill Inglv conceded: "'To pav Joe Stecher $20,000 guaran tee. Anv 'referee thry wanted. If they ... . - , .,m.,,.-,tA tn let Km .1 Holme's or any other responsible promott t i bundle It. If they preierreu , lung, Moines. New- York, Boston or any othei dtv, it would be O. K. with us. I he only thing we wanted was the match, and the articles to call for a finish, best two In three falls.' "And I want the public, to know that Caildo.-k Is anxious for the mutch while everything points to Stecher side-stepping." Too Much Money. Perhaps Mr. Melady means every thing he said. And then perhaps he doesn't. For $20,000 is a lot of money and it is suspected that for that sum Joe Stecher would take on the American army. It really is a cause for wonderment that Joe and Tony ever let Gene get away alive if they thought he even considered giving them that much money. The unkindly words applied to Stecher by Herrmann are more easily understood. Any mat fan realizes it is only natural that Joe is reluctant to mingle with Stanislaus Zbvszko. Stanislaus is a tough guy and Joe's anatomy might suffer if he ever let the big fellow get near him. You Never Can Tell. But Stecher oughtn't to be afraid of Caddock, especially since in their last meeting he beat him. But the wrestling game is strange indeed and the ways of its expo nents stranger still. Joe Stecher may be afraid to wrestle Earl Caddock, and Gene and Joe may really be quarreling. And again maybe the Stecher-Caddock press department is trying to put over a "coup." Were not Jack Curley so busy personally conducting Georges Carpentier the answer would be easy, but with Curley oc cupied with other maters your guess is as good as the next. Williams Loses in London Turf Tennis Tournament London, June 1? R. Morris Wil liams II of Boston, United States champion in 1914 and 1916, was de feated in the fourth round of the London turf tennis championship tournament here today by M. J. G. Ritchie.

Johnston of San Fran cisco was the first of the Americans to win in today's matches, defeating Cunliffe, 7-6, 6-5, 6-0. Americans Teach Ball Slang to Englishmen London. June 16. The Daily Ex press is giving its readers lessons in American base ball slang. The national pastime of the United States has become very popular here. Nines have been formed by Ameri cans and Canadians who remained in Great Britain after the war and also by the American Rhodes scholars at Oxford. Following are familiar phrases used by American rooters and their English equivalent: AttaboySplendid fellow. Bean The Umpire Kill the referee. Hot-Stuff Well played. Swat the Pill Hit the ball -vigorously. O'Neill Races Postponed. O'Neill, Neb.. June 16. (Special Telegram.) O'Neill races for ednesday postponed by rain to Thursday. The meet will run over Saturuay. : Explaining By "BIGS In the Corn Be It, June 16. Scien lists have not yet succeeded in iso lating the germ that causes conven tions. Chicago is just convalescing from the republican soiree ani is wonderiiior what it was all about. A plebiscite of the inhabitants indi cates that cither Mack Sennett or Rt'i Turpin should have been nomi nated on the first ballot. The idea of these male sewing cir cles seems to be to make some other bimbo think you are more important than he is. You don't belong unless you are round shouldered from car rying a flock of badges that make you look like a two-legged xylo phone. A yam with seven badges on hi chest has the cutting edge on a curkoo with only three partisan citations. The average delegate is a guy whose neck thinks it is in a cage every time he puts on a collar. He figures that all big cities were built by Sam Lloyd. He steps into the convention wigwam just, plumb suf focating with importance and has a tough time seeing over his top vest button. He starts to simmer down when be pipes little old Smoct, Penr roe or Crane, who are so used to delegates they drive 'em tandem. His skull start to sink to its usual acre age which is equivalent to the door knob on a doll house. VAUGHN STARTS AGAIN AND CUBS WIN CLOSE GAME Chicago Gets Only Three Hits. But Wins, 1 to Q Pitch er's Seventh Straight Victory. Boston, June 16. Chicago made it three straight from Boston in the last game of the series, winning 1 to 0, behind Jim Vaughn's .'irst start since Memorial day in Chicago, making his seventh straight victory.

Scores Technical K. 0. at Scottsbluff. Scottsbluff, Neb., June 16. (Special Telegram.) Johnny "Babe" Asher of St. Louis, bantam weight champion of the A. E. F., technically knocked out Roger J. "Yankee" Sullivan of Omaha in the fifth of a scheduled 12-round bout here this afternoon before the Ne braska stock growers' convention. It was a brilliant battle, both boys securing a knockdown and both fighting every minute of the five rounds. Both weighed in at 118 pounds. Sullivan and Asher waded in at the outset and the first round saw an even exchange of blows. Asher appeared "in the pink of condition, while Sullivan seemed slightly wind ed after the initial round. The second round was Asher's. The St. Louis boy pushed Sullivan back into a corner and made him cover under a rain of hard lefts to the stomach. Omahan Weakens Fast. The Omahan was weakening fast In the third Sullivan fought gamely under erious odds. He pressed Asher into the ropes, punching with both hands. As they came out to the center of the ring, Sullivan landed a stiff left to the jaw and Asher toppled over to the floor. The St. Louis lad was up again at the count of four and the round ended in Sullivan's favor. In the fourth Sullivan opened with a left to the stomach. Asher went into a clinch until he recovered and then landed four hard blows to the face. Sullivan's lips and nose were bleeding. The Omahan stayed up gamely, the crowd yelling to stop the fight. Sullivan was dazed when he re turned to his corner. In the fifth Asher rushed Sullivan into the ropes and floored the Omahan with an uppercut. Sullivan took the count of eight and was on his feet again, but tottering. Asher battered the Omahan back into his corner and K'eferee Thomas Mills stopped the fight, raising Asher's hand in vic tory. Resolute's Ninth Race With Vanitie Called Off Newport, R. I.. June 16. An hour before the starting time of today's race between Resolute and Vanite. the two contenders for the position of the America's cup defer.der. the wind fell flat and the race was called off. Rotan of Texas Wins. Philadelphia, June 16. George V. Rotan, many times champion of Texas, won the Lynnewood Hall cup for the second time by,, defeat ing J. S. Dean of Princeton, 4 up and 3 to play, in the final round of the annual golf tournament played over the Huntington Valley links a Convention BAKU. The only place where he is equal is when everybody is skipping the words of the "S. S. Banner." He skips just as many as the campaign committees. He just kind of hangs around in his seat for two cr three days waiting for the chairman to page him for one of those speeches that made him famous on the Ping hassett school board. About the fourth day he realizes a delegate is merely in the convention to suck up smoke from the photographer's flashlight powder. On the fifth day his i.nncrtance has diminished enough to enable him to breathe without throwing his Adam's apple out of gear. Then he starts looking around for a less im portant guy to pick on. When he finds that bird, he rides him dizzv. The less important guy branches out for himself and digs up another sapp of fewer importances than the less important bird. He rattles his badges at him and the other bimbo turns purple with congested im portance. Which is about all th3t the coro ner's jury can figure out about the convention. The idea is to make come other gipe think you are just triple plated with importance and that he is an errand boy on the wrong errand. 'BABE' RUTH HITS ANOTHER HOMER AND ALSO TRIPLE "Batterin' Babe" Now Has Eighteen Four-Baggers Yanks Hit Late, But Win, 7 to 4. Chicago, June 16. "Babe" Ruth cracked out his 18th home run of the season, driving a man in ahead of him, and put New York so far in front that Chicago was un-tble to overtake them, the visitors winning the first game of the series, 7 to 4. The game was delayed for 45 min utes by rain following Ruth's homer in the eighth. The Now York slugger, in addi tion to hittin cr the home n.n, made a triple which fell just a few feet from the fence. He walked on two other occasions and grounded out once. Faber pitched good ball in the early innings but weakered later. CHICAGO. NEW YORK. AB.H.O.A AB.H.O.A..

When I get through using it I just stick it in my pocket and walk away. I may want to use it again and if you need one you can buy an other. I make it a practice never to car ry one because that gives me an ex cuse to write down addresses and telephone numbers with yours. Then I take it home or to my office and leave it there. I may even borrow your knife to sharpen the pencil before I take it away with me. I like to try it first and see how well it writes so I'll know whether it's worth keeping or not. Pencils are common property anyway, like matches or ciearets or umbreilas. Beside, possession is nine points of the law and a pencil having one, that makes ten. You ought to be grateful to me for not borrowing your fountain pen. I would, only it's too much trouble borrowing ink to fill it.

Did Rock Candy Get Its Name? (Copyright. 1920. by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Originally what is now known as "rock" candy was called by the confectionery trade "Gibraltar rock." Nathaniel Hawthorne, in his "House of the Seven Gable;," described a small store and said: "For instance, there was a g'asj pickle jar filled with fragment' of Gibraltar rock: not, indeed, splinters of the veritable fortress, but bits of delicate candy." Other writers of even earlier dates refer to the crystallizcd-stigar confer, tion by the same name, given il on account of its quartz-like ap pearance and extreme hardness. Wholesale candy price li'ts, is sued, in 1848. quote "Gibraltar rock." though thos.- of the fol lowing year speak of it simply a "rock candy." the name by whic it is generally known today though he stores if. the rural sec tions of England still feature their jars of "Gibraltar" s? prominently as in the old days.

Usually those who continue to suffer from stubborn ail ments are those who refuse absolutely to heed the teach ings of medical science. ooxxxxxxoooo ooo The fiery itching of burn ing skin disease comes from far beneath the sur face of the skin and can not be reached by local remedies. oooooooooooooooo New discoveries are being constantly made, and those who fail to take advantage of the wonderful accomplish ments of men of science will continue under the handicap of disease. Your eczema, tetter, boils, pimples, acne, scaly skin erup tions and burning fiery irrita tions that cause so much dis comfort by their terrifying itching come from a tiny dis ease germ in your blood, which multiplies by the mil lions. These germs find some weak spot where they can break through the skin and set up their attack, and if you have ever had any form of these skin disorders you know what real torture is. The reason these disorders appear so stubborn and hard to get rid of is because they are not given the proper sort of treatment. In other words, the irritation and itching be comes so intense that the pa tient thinks only of relieving this discomfort, instead of di recting his efforts toward get ting rid of the cause of it all. Hence the constant use of lo tions, salves, soaps ond oint- i ments can make no impression i'e an fen shaded the St. Paul lad in se. al rounds.
