LINCOLN DAILY "XKWS, 1 1 Al'kiL 2" 1'j17. NINA JALKS AT AVIATION TEST THESE TWO YOUNG RUNNING' STAR; THEIR RACJES WITH DIFFERENT Following TheBall I vS tv mk Jr Hfc' lui 'f 1 Joie Ray (left) am to Chance combination. The best way to settle the dispute is for Caddork to wrestle the winner of the Olin-Lewis match. Than, if Jot- Ptecher feels lit. let him challenge Caddock or Olin, It's all right with us we don't care who he wrestles jo long, as" it isn't Ivan Ivan Michnlhjff.

There's no question but that Joe baa a Jot to explain aome things that can be explained only the ring with Caddock. Olin or Left-is as an opponent. Stecher's friends claim that he is no quitter. We hope the are riant. But as we have said.

Joe has a few things to explain. Here's hoping he'll do it in a manner that will bring the crown back to Nebraska and at the same time clear away the suspicion that he is a wrestler without a heart. -k Cy Ftorsythe say he doesn't care to play in a small western circuit. Cy wculd rather play in Arizona. Now that Ray Schmandt is on the shelf with a lame ankle, he can be used as a pinch base runner for Jim Bluejacket.

Jim runs like an ice wagon crossing the Viaduct. Jess Willard to a bunch of newspaper men in Philadelphia denied the report that he never tiled to enlist and that tho story that has appeared tn the papers throughout the country was to boost his Job with the circus. Capt. F. H.

Kenney Is supposed to have said, in Chicago that "the heavyweight champion never tried to enlist" Jess says that he went to a recruiting station in the Windy City and tried to enlist and the officer in charge said bis bulk, was too great for hlra to be of ser-' vice in the army, and besides they weren't ready to recruit married men yet. "Any one who says- I'm afraid to for my country la a- liar," declared Willard. If Jess really wants to fight for Uncle Sam and his appearance in a military uniform would inspire thousands of youths to do the same he wouldn't have any trouble. Surely. Objcrvations taVen 7 ra.

Ducky is a wonderful baseball manager one of the best In the -world but as a prophet his batting average is about Ducky said in deep earnest Just before leaving home that his team might tret an even split on the road the even plit. mind you, was the helghth of the 1'iediclion.

He hardly expected so much. Xow hore we are, out in Denver vwith four no and one lost to say nothing of 'today" ftame. Counting the skirmish of this afternoon, there are fixe games to be played before the. Ducklings romp home. In order to justify the Holmes' prediction, all we need to do is to cop one of the five.

It's a fair prediction that we'll win three of 'em. returning with a percentage of Koraetiiing like .700. Any, old ball team that can jump from St. joe to Denver and win a. ball game, is some old team from every angle.

The Ducks reached the mile high burg after an all night's ride on the cars. They also rode an day. They into Denver lonr after time tor calling the game and donned their duds while racing to the park. They were deprived of the usual practice psriod hadn't a chance to grow accustomed to the high altitude and yet, they won a "ball gunie with apparent east and with a vokies on the mound. Qardinier, the ex-Cardinal, nude good.

His delivery of the goods put it up to Ducky to worry more in. regaroV to reduction of a that looks good from apron to sine The IHicks will hang around Denver today and tomorrow and will then fly over to Wichita for the last round of the ir.l-tial road junket. Either Howard Gregory or Bert Reed were expected to twirl the Wednesday game. The Western league has Come into its own. Geoigeilogridpe and Eddie Cicotte, who learned most all they know about the pitching art right here in the home loop are the men of the hour the idols of the baseball world.

Each has pitched a no-hit game already this season. To-nether, the constitute a combination of effectiveness that has former pitching records tied into a bow knot. Cicotte went, up from Lincoln. He never came back. Mogridge went.

to Chicago from Des Moines. He came back once. It was only for a brief stay! George went back and this time, with the Yankees. His no-hit game of Tuesday was his first appearance of the season. Hat eft to the Western and her graduates.

Baseball history does not record two no-hit games in the brief period that has elapsed since the 1917 baseball season opened. 'Mogridge, in squirming his way Into the ironbound circle of pitching perfection, bad his mark messed up a hit when errors and his own wildness gave the Red Sox a- single tally, but he held the opposition- hitless, which is the main idea in reaching the point of pitching fame. liogridge's feat gives the Yankees a brand now look at pennant hopes. If Nick Cullop, Ray Caldwell, Bob Shawkey and others of the Donovan clan will tune the JJet Yorkers scheduled tobe in on what promises -now, to be a fast, close' finish in Ban Johnson's circle. Once upon a time, Red Ames stepped out: for the Giants on the (Opening day of season- and held the BrooWyns hitness for nine innings but the Brooklyn heaver was almost as stingy and the Dodgers won the game in the thirteenth inning.

Hwo years ago Rube Marauard cleaved his way to no-hit glory by shutting out Brooklyn on April 15. But to see two no-hit games in the first breath of the season gives fandom the promise of seeing some extraordinary baseball. If pitchers are so good at this time of the season, it 1 reasonable to suppose they will improve. Last year's four no-hit games already has feer'n half equalled. Triple- play in the wrestling ring Olin-to Caddock.

Hart Schaffner Joie Ray of the Illinois A. and Johnny Overton of Tale, perhaps the two greatest middle distance runners of the day, use quite different methods of going thru a race at their best speed. Ami if the ends Justify the means it seems that Ray's methods are best, as ho recently beat Overton in their meeting the Madison Square Garden, New York. Joie Ray has a contidnce in his speed that almost amounts to egotism. Ho firmly believes that he is the greatest runner in the world today and it is his Joy in a race to run the legs off ail his competitors.

He starts the race at a high clip; takes the lead early and holds it all thru to the tape. He delights in. his speed and stamina and seems to "show a contempt for all who try compete' with him. Ray Is a farmer boy and. as a kid it was his favorite inversion to try out his speed with the colts.

Chasing the young horses over tho pastures developed early Ray's remarkable legs. He is rather short and stocky in his (wild and has a lively, springy, walk. He- Is a natural runnor FANS HAVE SUFFERED MUCH GRANU AJTD XOBLB WRESTUMi GAME MAY GO. Even Grand Old California Admits That Fnblic Hae Unsuspected Too Long-. Lincoln wrestling fans are not the only one who have suffered.

They are not alone, of tha.t grand army of unsuspecting ones who have paid good money to see rubbish. Should wrestling slugip back into oblivion where it belongs, unless conducted properly, it's probable that boxing will enjoy a revival. Not prize flRhtins my, no. The term Is vulgar. Butt purely legitimate boxing exhibitions.

That's it. A number of such have been staged in Lincoln with excellent results. Frank Schuler, San Franciscan who put the wrestling game on the map in California, is about to heave the sponge into the ocean. Frank. It was, who induced Joe Stecher to go to the land of flowers and pick a few grapes.

But in California, as in. Lincoln, the fans are growing wondrous wise- They are almost willing to let the grand and noble mat game go to the wharf and tumble in and the legislature may help 'em a bit by charging wrestlers a $3,000 ante Ion appear-ancsw a mild but effective rebuke, COX WANTS NONE Of DARCY.

John won't lose hardly a player until they start taking 'em over thirty-five. Mike Kahoe has unearthed a base run ner with a great change of pace. Clark Griffith is nuzzled about young Jamteeon, who looks like a pitcher when he's outfielding and like an outfielder when he's pitching. First thing Ty Cobb knows the Wisconsin boxing commission will be barring him. Only way we can figure to beat Willie Hoppe is to have him play Jay Gould at court tennis.
