in in THE DES MOINES REGISTER: TUESDAY MORNING. APRIL 12. 1921. 5 CADDOCK AND LEWIS READY FOR TITLE WRESTLE HERE TONIGHT WILL STRIVE TO REGAIN HONORS Record Crowd Expected to See Match. BY SEC TAYLOR.

Earl Caddock, pride of Iowa, and Ed "Strangler" Lewis, enampion heavyweight wrestler of the world, were all ready last night for their finish match at the Coliseum this evening when the supremacy of the world will be decided. The champion arrived here Sunday morning accompanied by his manager, B. C. Sandow. Caddock came yesterday from his home Walnut, and was followed last night by his manager, Gene Melady of Omaha, and several other fans and newspaper men of the Nebraska metropolis.

Edward W. Smith Chicago, who will referee the title contest, some of the leading heavyweights of the country and their managers are expected to arrive here early today from Chicago. Thousands of Fans Coming. Several thousand fans who already have made seat reservations will pour into the city by train, interurban and automobile today, for the largest crowd that ever saw an indoor wrestling match in the country outside of New York is the forecast. The promoter of the contest, Oscar Thorson, has changed the seating arrangements so that the Coliseum will hold more fans in advantageous seats that at any previous match.

For this reason it is probable that none of the fans will be turned away as was the case at the Waldek Zbyszko-Caddock match here three years ago. It was announced that the Collseum doors will be opened a at o'clock, the first preliminary will start promptly at 8:30 o'clock and that events will be run off without delay. In the semiwindup, Jake Brissler, local heavyweight, who has been under the tutelage of Jess Reimer her for three years, will meet Rogers, Canadian heavy- weight, in a finish match. Thorson Prohibits Smoking. The same rules that have been in effect at all of the Thorson athletic shows will prevail tonight.

No smoking will be permitted and guards will be stationed throughout the building to see that the order is enforced. This rule is made necessary because of the large number of reservations for women. The tickets for the match will be on sale at the Coliseum box office today 60 that purchasers may see their seats before buying if they wish. The cheaper seats have not been sold as yet and will go to the first in line at 10. o'clock today.

Considering the fact that the match is for the world's championship and that Caddock is an overwhelming favorite SO far as sentiment is concerned there has been very little betting on contest. Betting on matches always has been discouraged here as a rule there has not been much gambling on the outcomes of the contests staged in Des Moines. Work at Coliseum Finished. A corps of carpenters that worked all last week in arranging special seats in the Coliseum, completed its work yesterday and everything is ready this morning for the big encounter. Chutes have been built at the entrance of the building in order to facilitate the handling of the crowd but these will be torn out while the match is in progress 80 that the building may be emptied quickly when the contest is over.

The managers of both men were confident last night of the ability of their men to win. C. Sandow, in behalf of Lewis, expressed his belief that the champion would wip without much trouble, and Gene Melady, representing Caddock, stated that everything possible had been done to get the Iowan in fine shape and that he believed Caddock would return to his home tomorrow holding the world's title for the second time. ALEXA STIRLING BEING MISQUOTED Special to The Register. NEW YORK, April, a p- pears they are handing Miss Stirling over in England in the same line that they passed out Walter Hagen.

In going over to EngHagen never stated that he landia win the British open, yet the English papers quoted him as boasting that he would carry away thirdgen was made to say a lot of things over there. but the papers an denied them later. One silly that was even printed here thing, around the report the that championship he had cup put And his remarked, "Oh, you baby, I'm going to take you back to America with me." Ag a matter of fact Hagen never BA the cup, as it was in the clubhouse at Deal and not displayed except to members and guesta of the club. There is a hard and fast rule over there that no "pro" may enter the house, 80 this would seem to nail this story. Now the stories are beginning to crop up little Miss Stirling has been boasting that she will defeat Miss Leitch, but, of course, they are all moonshine.

RUTH'S FAME AND NAME GO ABROAD NEW YORK, April Ruth's fame has reached eternal Rome. The Italian clergy and educators, enthusiastic over Pope Benedict's suggestion the Knights of Columbus that they undertake welfare and athletic work among the young men of Rome and Italy, have sent numerous messages to Supreme Secretary William J. McGinley of the Knights of Columbus, urging the knights to commence work in Italy as quickly as possible. A letter just received from a well known Italian educator asks that the Knights of Columbus enlist the services of "Babe Rutho" (Italian version swat king's name) for athletic work in Italy. They have visions of the "Babe' swatting home runs across the ancient Tiber.

U. are collecting evidence preparatory to passing on the new record for the 220-yard dash reported to have been established by Charles Paddock of the University of Southern California at Berkeley. If Paddock was not by wind, if the track was of proper measurement, and watches were in excellent condition, there is little doubt that the achievement will be sanctioned officially. To say that eastern trackmen were surprised by Paddock's feat would be to put it mildly. They were astounded.

There is a a group who are always inclined to discount California records, men who doubt, when a new achievement is turned in from the west coast. remarking that Pacific stop watches are geared to stop at 9 3-5 seconds. But justice to an athlete who has already proved his greatness does not warrant talk of this sort. Feat Almost Unbelievable. Paddock's best previous record for the furlong, :21 1-5, was made at the Harvard stadium last year.

The new record, :20 4-5, means an improvement of about seven yards over the best Paddock had previously done. It means he would have beaten a runner such as Loren Murchison by eighteen yards over the distance. And when think of any one beating Murchison by that margin over t.e furlong you begin to grasp just what Paddock is supposed to have done. The wires stated that Paddock ran 100 yards in :09 3-5 and then went out to step the furlong in :21 flat. The California officials are said to have taken a possible rejection of the mark possible a precaution against by the Amateur Athletic union.

Only One Irregularity. From this distance there appears to be but one possible irregularity in the conditions surrounding Paddock's feat. Some of the watches registered :21 flat and others :20 3-5. This indicates a difference of four yards in the times taken by some of the clockers against. that of the others--a condition does not inspire confidence.

The officials are forwarding affidavits tot he A. A. U. office in this city regarding the conditions under which the Olympic champion made his record. The track measured by surveyors, who worked with Walter Chrystie, the California coach, and found the distance to be exact.

Additional affidavits are also on their way east showing that Paddock did not start before the gun was fired and also that the wind that was blow ing did not materially aid the Olympic champion. If Paddock accepts the invitation of the University of Pennsylvania to come east for the special sprint race or races at the Penn relays he will meet a bunch of sprinters worthy of his mettle. BILLY BARTON COSTS STONEHAM $45.000 CINCINNATI, April Goldblatt, Cincinnati turfman and former owner of Billy Barton, is home from Havana. He won the Cuban derby, but had left the Cuban sport center before the race. Goldblatt said that he had his horse set for the race and did not have to stay to see him run.

Charles A. Stoneham, president of the New York Giants, is said by Goldblatt to have paid him $40,000 in cash and $5,000 additional for Billy Barton. First reports were to the effect that Stoneham paid 000 for the horse. Dubuque Boy Yale Captain. NEW HAVEN.

An effort also will be made to Catcher Mike Dempsey somewhere. Knox to Stick to College. "Bud" Knox, the Des Moines university catcher, never was signed to a contract, as he wished to retain his amateur standing. He is the best looking young catcher that has tried out here in years, but will not play professional ball this year.

Manager Jack Coffey would have liked to have signed him and placed him somewhere, but Knox wants to complete his college work before he turns to league ball. The local officials, however, have his promise that ne will sign with them whenever he is ready to forsake the ranks of the amateurs. Shortstop Rhyne of San Francisco will join club at Joplin tomorrow and will start in the lineup. Philbin will be retained for the time being at least, but may be placed somewhere later. He may start at third base in the opening game, as Grant has been limping about with a Charley-horse during the last three days.

The injury showed marked improvement yesterday, however. Seven Hurlers on Trip. Ray Essenger, the Fort Dodge pitcher, was released yesterday at I his own request. Because of the strong hurling staff Manager Cof-1 fey had no room for him this year and Essenger did not want to go to a smaller league.

Seven pitchers, Lynch, Buckalew, Merz. Shriver, Black, Meadows and Delbern will start the first trip with the team. It will necessary to trim the squad to men soon, PRive however.

It is to laugh to hear the young sporting writers tell of how much better the prize fighters of today are when compared to the fighters of the long ago.

It is very true that they are much better in some directions. In stalling and talking about big purses and telling where and when they are going to fight, in general conversation as to their individual ability, the fighters of today have the old fellows beaten many miles. In the olden days the old fighters fought at the drop the hat and then talked of it later. This was especially true of the old Irish fighters, like Burke, Donnelly and Cooper, and the English fighters like Mace, Sayers, Cribb, Allen and Mitchell. You young fellows who are talking about what great fighters your champions of today are when compared old champions must, when all is world, admit the old fellows had it on the present champions when it came to arranging a match and getting it over without a waste of words long drawn out battle in the newspapers for months and sometimes for years before the battle actually takes place.

Stage Impromptu Bout. In in the days when Tom Enslands champion, he had mill which came up impromptu, and in the English ing shops there was often a fight pulled off not on the program. When Cribb was at the very top of his pugilistic career a banquet was, given the champion by one of the swellest organizations in England and to which were invited all the great boxers of that time. As a result of the latter's presence there were frequent quarrels while the banquet was in progress. The one ugly row was between Tom Cribb and Jack Carter, and this was Carter's fault.

On account of his rough ways, Carter was barred from the spread, but on this particular night he forced his way in. "So you've left off fighting." he roared at Cribb. "Better say that fighting has left you off, my lad. His insults kept on until at last he struck one of the men who was trying to make him leave the room. Without any more words.

Cribb jumped up and asked that a ring be formed. When this wag done he flew at Carter and gAVe him 89 fine 8. beating 83 a man ever Rot. Cribb Was Fine Fellow. his man in eighteen minutes.

Got Opponent Out of Jail. Taken all in all, Tom Cribb was some fine fellow. Ring histories give hundreds of stories about his generosity and kindness to the poor and the weak. His specialty was thrashing bullies. and it wasn't safe for any brute to beat a woman or child when Tom Cribb was around.

That's what strength is for, it seems to me. Not only to take care of yourself against attack, but to protect those who can't protect themselves. In behalf of the boxing profession want to say this: I do not know of fighter who is A bully. You can't find a single professional today who can be branded as rowdy and quarrelsome The mAn who knows he can take care of himself 18 the most peaceable man on earth. Tom Spring Was another English champion who didn't mind fighting At the drop of a hat.

He was at Belcher's one night and ran into big Ben Burns. think I can whip you said Ben. "There's just one way to find out," said Spring. I've Rot here in my pocket." Ben answered. "and there's a lot of room on Wimbledon common." A bout 200 people were gathered together, A ring WAR pitched on the common that very night and Spring finished Jem Ward.

while champion of England, went out on A spArring tour with Sampson. the "Birmingham Youth." Sampson WAS a likely lad and he improved in skill he got the idea that he could whip the champion. "Look here. Jem." he said one day, "I'd like to challenge you for regular match. What do you Ray You're not good enough.

my boy." Jem grinned. "Suppose we see about that." said Sampson. The champion was willing and ten rounds were fought. Only the seconds. A referee and A few spectators were on Sampson proved a good boy.

but he "You WAR no match for the Jem." clever Birming: were right. the ham youth admitted the finish. don't think I'm ready to challenge you yet a The most remarkable match I ever heard of was the first meeting in England between Pearce and Gully. Both were Bristol men, and while Pearce WAS champion he heard that GiMly WAS 1n1 prison for debt. He went out to see him with some friends, and during the visit the talk turned on boxing.

"I'm going to meet you some day, Hen." said Gully. "Are you any good? the champion asked. "Try me." A ring formed. and while Gully was beaten. he made such a raised wonderful showing that money WAR Day hie debts.

Pearce beat him again In A regular battle. but after his retirement Gully took the title and defended it against all comers. HOLD A. A. U.

EDGREN EXPLAINS ABOUT FORFEITS Carpenter's Money Posted Last November. BY ROBERT EDGREN. A few months ago there was rumor that Georges Carpenter's forfeit hadn't been properly posted, giving "'Tex" Rickard's partners an excuse to draw out of promoting the big Dempsey-Carpentier match.

As stakeholder, knew that Carpentier's forfeit been posted Nov. 20. 1920, according to contract, Morgan, Harjes Co. in Paris, acting agents for the Central Union Trust company of New York, and that French government wouldn't hinder the forwarding of the securities to New York. Wishing to have all the forfeits together New York at least two months before the fight date, asked the Central Union Trust company to cable for Carpenter's securities.

Within twenty-four hours Morgan Harjes Co. cabled back. "We are sending securities day's mail." Carpenter's securities, posted guarantee his forfeit, the way, are worth $54,000 at day's quotations. This ought stop any rumor that Georges isn't well anxious to fight Dempsey, as as the amusing story that Carpentier "is trying to draw down forfeit." "Tex" Posts Cash. forfeit bond was taken 20, as was "Tex' RickDempsey's, ard's first bond for one the promoter's forfeit of $100.000.

When Rickard took over the match he posted $66.666.67 in cash with the trust company, in addition his original, bond. "Tex" had privilege taking out A bond instead posting cash. but didn't bother with little cash like that Is nothing life. The governor of New York made bite statement that he in "opposed" bell having in the New York state. Carpentier-Dempsey match Funny thing about this 19 why governor should waste BO much energy the holding of bout that ian't scheduled for New York, that never has been scheduled for New York.

Governors have habit of taking slam at anything in the sporting line that 18 big enough to attract A world of tention. That's one way of getting the limelight. A former governor New York got into the limelight very fectively one time.

He poor Les Darcy, called him a "slacker" and barred tim from boxing in the atate. Other governors trailed in behind of New York and also barred Darcy and called him though it 19 safe bet they knew very little about Darcy--who splendid youngater intent upon hastily earning enough money to keep his crippled father and his mother and a large and helpless family of sisters and brothers, so that could go ever to the war and be killed without leaving them to starye. Darcy WAS "barred" in several states, as I've said, and was taken sick. discouraged, downhearted, forsaken in a strange country, and died. Both Contestants Skilled.

Just why a fine sporting event like the Carpentier-Dempsey match should be singled out for attack is a puzzle. The vast majority of men in New York state are interested in boxing. approve of boxing. and are especially interested in the big match. Carpenter and Dempsey are among the most killed boxers In the world, each supreme in his, class and Among his countrymen.

Both are decent, clean living, well trained men. contest between the two will be a ring classic. Why should there be opposition to a bout between first class boxers, when there are a hundred small matches between men of far less akill every week? Easy. The limelight that the professional "reformer" loves doesn't shine on the little bouts. The governor alludes to "crookedness" in professional sport.

There's talk of shoving through a new bill providing for 8 commission to oversee all sports. Why should there be a state commission to govern athletics? Easy again. More patronage, boys. L. D.
