Chicago Magnate of Years Ago Referee Saves Tom Cowler Accessories THEIR BIT; Entitled to Be Rated as Father of Baseball. Just a year ago today, Joe Stecker ivas dethroned as the champ on of the heavyweisht wrestlers. The Nebraska phenom, tniinins carelessly' and never i i a thought to the that Karl Caddoek, the Iowa boy, i be a worthy opponent, went into the ring in miserable physical condition and pa'd the penalty for his lack of preparation.

The defeat of establishes! Caddock as the a i a a champion he has bef-n in more ways than one. In a i i to his grapplinar preiiiership, it must be conceded that the Iowa athlete has qualified as the champion side-stepper. The record shows that Stecker has repeatedly challenged the man who flopped h'm a year ago tonight, and it cannot be disputed that the followers ot" the grappling game have been keen for such a match, yet Stecker has been to entic'c Caddock into a return boui.

Caddock has been wTllngr to risk his laurels in combats iv th Zbyszko and Olin, and to enter into negotiations with Strangler Lcivis, but the name of Stecker is mentioned, the Iowa grappler slinks back into his shell. But Stecker is not the onlv heavyweight wrestler whom Caddock hay been dods ng. Even Jack Taylor.

Ma- 4 rin Plestina and Charley Peters have knocked in vain at the Caddock door, now conies still another ambitious Nebraska Pesek of Sheltoh ---to hurl defi.ance at the "champion." Pesek and his manager. Mart Slattery, once thought they had it all fixed up to get at Caddock. Gene Mclady, who handles Caddock's business affairs, gave his o. k. to the was tentatively scheduled for Omaha, but the negotiations -suddenly bumped into a snag.

The old excuse was I brought forward that "Caddock could not arrange to a ftirlough from Camp Dodge." Manager Slattery was to accept the explanation as g-enuine, but tumbled to his mistake he learned that Caddock, who could not possibly fix it up with the army authorities to come to grips w.th Pesek, had booked himself to grapple with John. Olin at DCS Moines on Thursday night of the week. Pesek Reary for Campaign Balked in getting at Caddock, Pesek and his manager contracted for a Taylor match in Grand Island, where Pesek won so decisively that Manager Slattery decided to quit fooling around with "qualifying" matches and, instead, to go gunning for the biggest game in the heavyweight jungle. The defi on behalf of Pesek. hurled by Slattery and Larney Lichtcnstoin of Chicago, was given publicity in yesterday's Star.

Larney, it appears, has gone in cahoots with Manager Slat- to flush Caddock and the other heavyweights out into the open. In substantiation of this theory, L.chten- stem has come across with a second broadside, forwarding 1 the. following communication from Chicago to the Bports editor of The Star: "CHICAGO, April 8, Editor Star, seems that consternation has struck the heavywe.ght wrestling fraternity, all on account of a challenge issued by Martin Slattery, friend and adviser ot the new Nebraska wonder, John Pcsek. "It strikes me that the time has come for the sport-loving public to be advised as to who the real champion its, and the only fair way to decide the issue is to have Caddock, him to Sitting Pitcher Xiehoff's obstinacy men 1 to to tlit so 'I as i i by 1M1 in i i i a of a (liusion a 1'plon not lore: wi.i.'n a i i i "as held at a "If i i a i i i a to boxinir-- a i i i said, i I'M rd a race of a me who wi'l not need to a the If ou i i i iii Kuiopt. 1 i i ropn a i in UIK imsr a return.
