Mart Slattery and John Pesek
To Occupy Court Room Spotlight
Martin Slattery, former manager
o John Tcsek, Ravenna, (Neb.)
heavyweight wrestler, is ready to
take a fall out of John's pocketbook.
Slattery has filed a suit in district
court at Grand Island, Neb., asking
$1,408.90 damages with 7 per cent in
terest from December, .1920, from
Pesek. Mart has even asked that
his former protege be made to 'pny
th costs of the court action.
The manager and wrestler came to
the parting of the ways several
weeks ago when Tesek quietly in
formed Mr. Slattery that be would
glide along on the sea of wrestling
without a pilot. Every ship has a
pilot and every wrestler has a man
ager, so one evening Larney Litch
enslein of Chicago corraled Pesek
and the first thing Slattery knew the
Nehraskan was grappling for Larney,
which isn't worrying Mart.
But, here's where Slattery comes
in.
WILL Rocky Kansas knock
the lightweight fistic crown
from the dome of Benny
Leonard when the two battlers
clash? Or Will Leonard repeat
as he has in bouts with other op
ponents and score a kayoe or win
the decision?
However, Kansas, or Rocco Toz
ze, which happens to be his real
monicker, looms up as a champion
ship possibility. He is broad shoul
dered and strong. According to
reports of his late fistic engage
ments, he can give and take a
punch and those are the necessary
attributes to make a champion.
In his scrap with Willie Jack
on at Madison Square Garden,
Kansas showed plenty of stuff,
critics say. He wields a wicked
southpaw and employs his trusty
left fin more often than he does his
right.
Leonard is sure to go the way
of all titleholders sooner or later.
The champion is getting along in.
years as an athlete, and while Kan
sas may not be the one to de
throne Benny, he is the most likely-looking
contender.
Charley Paddock, the sensa
tional University of California cin
der path athlete, is a wonderful
sprinter and he has beaten the
world's best, but there will be
skeptics' all over the world vho
will be slow to accept his alleged
record of 20 4-5 seconds for the
220-yard dash. They will :ay,
very naturally, that no man with
a slow start, such as Paddock has
shown in the past, can run the
distance in two-fifths under the
second. - '
A favoring wind will probably
be considered the reason faaaocK
r niade his records
tn 1915 at Sai
In 1915 at San Francisco lea
Meredith covered -the quarter m
47 seconds flat, but he had a
strong wind behind, and of course,
the record was not allowed. Dur
ing the same season and on the
same track a school boy by the
name of Frank Sloma won the
junior quarter-mile championship
in 47 seconds flat.
These wrestlers are having a
hard time. "Strangler" Lewis is
tramping around with the cham
pionship belt and following him
are Caddock, Stecher, Pesek. the
two Zbyszko brothers and a flock
of lesser grapplers.
The champion and Pesek are
scheduled to meet in New York
Monday night, despite a previous
meeting in Kansas City some time
Rarin' to Go
Mart claims Pesek owes him con
siderable money and furthermore he
is going to attempt to make the
court request Mr. Pesek to come
through with a nice wad o( dough.
In the suit filed at Grand Island,
Slattery ascrts that he had been in
Pesck's employe for two years, act
ing as his manager and looking after
the training and scheduling of
matches.
Managers of wrestlers and boxers
don't work for nothing, so Slattery
states in his suit that the agreement
between himself and Pesek was that
lie should receive one-third of all the
money received by John from
wrestling contests scheduled by him.
Slattery also says that at San
Francisco and Des if bines be did
not receive his share of the receipts.
At San Francisco the' receipts
amounted to $1,500 and at Des
Moines they were $2,62770 and th.it
his share should have been $1,408.90,
which is worth trying to collect.
ago. Lewis and the Ravenna,
(Neb.) wrestler were scheduled to
appear in a finish match at Kan
sas City last Wednesday night,
but Draaek was substituted for
Pesek.
Stanislaus Zbyszko and Pesek
are carded for a finish struggle in
Chicago on Wednesday, April 13
the day following the Lewis
Caddock match at Des Moines.
Lewis wrestles in the semi-windup
of the Zbyszko-Pcsck affair in
Chicago.
The older Zbyszko will no doubt
win over Pesek and thereby elim
inate the Nebraskan from the cham
pionship race. The Lewis-Cad-dock
match in Des Moines is
causing considerable interest in
this section of the country and bids
fair to be a hard contested bout
w ith the odds favoring the champ.
The fact of the matter is that
eventually Stanislaus Zbyszko
and "Strangler" Lewis will meet
in New York City for the world's
heavyweight championship at
least that is the way we have it
doped out.

Council Bluffs, Saturday, at the lo
cal Y; M. C. A. gymnasium by the
score of 10 to 11. The contest went
two extra periods before a w inner
was declared.
The game was' hard-fought from
-tart to finish and was featured by
clean playing on the part of both
quintets. The tloorworK ot utinuct
and Washington Avenue players
coupled with the basket shooting
land guarding of the hoopstcrs. was
the best that has been display
ed by any grade school squads heic
this season.
Before the contest rolled into ac
tion it was discovered that four of
the lowans had graduated from
grade school last February and
therefore were ineligible. However,
the crowd of fans got a taste of rea
basket ball that kind that is played
by the youngsters when the two
teams clashed.
The first six minute quarter began
in a whirlwind of furious playing.
Rinsch dropped the ball through the
hoop for the first counter. Chermack
of Council Bluffs retaliated with a
pretty shot, tying the score, but
Thomas' basket toward the close ot
the period put Dundee in the lead,
Another tornado of fast work
marked the opening ot the second
stanza, but Dundee's teamwork and
basket ball tactics were clearly above
the work of the Washington Avenue
lads. Captain Robertson, with two
baskets, and 1 his teammate Thomas
with another compiled s'??in,,.s.fVf
the Omaha suburbans, while Min
uet" Michnick scored another tor the
low-any. The half ended without a
foul being chalked up against either
team, and Dundee was in the. lead,
10 to 6. .
Washington Avenue rapidly came
into the fore during the final two
halves and the time extensions, as the
Dundee boys lacked the endurance
to keep up the furious pace The
third quarter saw the Council Bluft
ians gaining on the Dundee crew, and
Michnick tied the score in the final
stanza with a goal from past the
center of the floor. 10 to 10. When
Remedy made Thomas' personal
foul count for one point in the final
time extension, the game went to
Washington Avenue, 11 to 10.

so. what will happen to the ancient

When the United States Golf as
