Wrestling Championship to Change
Joe Steelier Scheduled for
i Heavyweight ; Mat-, Crown
Pesek Lost Out f When
He Fouled Plestina.
'.By FRANK G. MENKE.
(Copyright, 1925, King: Features Syndi
cate, Inc.)
The "heavyweight .wrestling cham
pionship of the. world" is scheduled
to change hands at a very early date.
Stanislaus Zbyszko is the present
title holder. He has been possessed of
the tarnished crown for, the average
period allotted to .the "champions"
of the Jack Curley group. It is time
for. someone else to . become the boss
of. the Curley -gang and the digits
point to Joe Steelier at kinging.
From the "inside"', comes this in
formation: -
"Zbyszko .is . to be beaten, but. of
course, not disgraced, very shortly
by one of the men . of the Curley
group. Afterward Zbyszko Mill be
beaten by at least one more man in
the Curley gang. That will give him
prestige. He will challenge the cham
pion on the strength victory over
Zbyszko and then there'll be fever
ish interest, perhaps a big house--and
a lot of swag for the Curley
"But the new champion Steelier
in '. all . likelihood won't lose that
match. , He'll just make it close so
that the suckers will be pulled in for
a return battle. V
"The dethroning of Zbyszko Will
happen about the- middle of March
maybe a little sooner.
Zbyszko has been a good money
maker as, a champion. He's made it
not only lor himself but the others
in the gang. His advent into the Cur
ley outfit more than a year ago was
most opportune.
"The public was all fed up with
Stecher, Lewis, Caddock and Waldek
Zbyszko. It wanted to see a different
face. And then came Stanislaus Zby
szko, from Poland..
.As a. reward for joining the Cur
ley gang,-he was given the chance
eventually .to win the championship
after Strangler Lewis had held it
the allotted time. Of course Zbyszko
won.
. " Pssek Lost Out.
"The earliest plan was to make
JoTin" Pesek,-of Nebraska, the cham
pion before 1921-1922 wrestling sea
son ended. He was to score a sensa
tional victory over Zbyszko. The
title was to be Pesek's reward for
putting. Marin Plestina out of the
business. But Pe3ck failed miserably,
has been barred forever, from New
York state and, of course, has since
been sidetracked by Curley's gang.
It doesn't want dead ones no mat
ter who did the killing.
' "Pesek, it may be recalled, wres
tled Plestina in New York. He. went
onto the mat seemingly for the sole
purpose of crippling the giant Slav.
Undoubtedly his actions were
prompted by orders from a "higher
up." - He gouged, butted, kicked and
punched and when he was disquali
fied for the third time and perma
nently barred from ,the New. York
mats, Plestina was blinded in both
eyes from the cutting of Pesek's
finger nails.
Through With Pesek.
"When Pesek was barred for his
disgraceful fouling, the Curley folks
at once started a pow-wow on who
was to be the man to succeed Zby
szko," added the "insider," "the man
agers of Steelier and Lewis both put
In vigorous claims. My best infor
mation is that Stecher has been dele
gated to be the successor of the Pole
largely because it's his turn. Lewis
out."
had the championship before Zby
srko and that makes Stecher due
for. a brief period of title holding.

Numerous Complaints. .
Numerous complaint have come
to prohibition headquarters from
Fast rittfhtirKh that a man poing
as a prohibition enforcement agent
had been niakinkvattcmnts to extort
money from saloon ami hotel keep
ers. Keinmerling agreed to trap the
impostor, and a hotrl nun mrt-the
bogus aarnt at a friend's undrrtak
ing shop later in the day to pay Over
Hush money.
Kemmrrling donned a black suit,
was nicely shaved and powdered and
was properly laid out m the under
taking chapel. Window shades were
drawn and candles lighted. He made
a striking corpse.
A few minutes later into the sanc
tum of the dead came William Pen-
rod, 21, of Braddock, accompanied by
the hotel man. They advanced to
within a few feet of the "corpse.
The two discussed the deal to buy
the bogus sleuth's silence. Money
passed. The hotel man said:
Covered With Cun.
"I hope this closes the deal." That
was the cue for the "corpse" to get
bus.
Kcmmerling suddenly swished the
shroud aside, jumped ip, shoved a
business-like gun toward Pcnrod and
placed nun under arrest.
I'cnrod was trichtened speechless.
He was held on a federal charge of
impersonating a federal prohibition
agent and accepting money in an at
tempt to extort.
I felt pretty funny while lying on
that couch, which had held many a
dead body," said Agent Kemmcrling.
