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

Ritchie. The veteran English expert
and internationalist won two out of

cisco was the first of the Americans
to win in today's matches, defeating

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

YANKEE SULLIVAN
KNOCKED OUT BY
ASHER IN FIFTH
Champion Bantam Weight of
A. E. F. 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

"Batterin' Babe" Now Has

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.

I'M THE GUY!
I'M THE GUY who never hands
back the borrowed pencil.
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.

WHY?
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.

Here's Relief
from Skin Diseases
The Blood Must B Purged of
AH Germs.
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
