"-t THB LZVOOUr DAILY 8TA1 --F1IDAY, MAT 3, 1918. In the Realm of Sport Edited By "Cy" Shirt TlUfI PESEK KIM II mm MILL Hussane Twice Disqualified, Yet Sheiton Boy Was Winner on His Merits. John Pesek, newest heavyweight grappling sensation, emerged triumphant from the Thursday night wrestling battle with Tus- sif Hussane, the Bulgarian, at the Lincoln auditorium. Pesek did not pin the Balkans athlete's shoulders to the pad, aa Hussane was twice disqualified by Referee Charles Reed of York yet the Sheiton phenom outwresttoc the Bulgarian by a decisive margin clearly earning a decision on points and also demonstrating to the 1,500 spectators that, it not handicapped by an injured right-arm, he had the goods to escort the Balkans grappler to a double flopping. Referee Reed was Justified, from every standpoint, in disqualifying Bulgarian.

Prior to the inauguration of the contest, the principals and their manageis agreed to a special rule requiring the grapplers to break whenever rolled into or under the ropes, then to go to the center of the ring, with the man having the advantage to take the rear position. Pesek respected the referee's rulings, but Hussane-was defiant and his punishment was merited. The first disqualification came after 24 minutes of thrilling grappling, while the second was handed down by Referee Reed at the end of an hour and 49 minutes of a strenuous tussle. Hussane was merely stubborn in the first place, but when disqualified on the second occasion it was evident that the Bulgarian was a hopeless loser, on which liasis the referee's ruling- did not take from Pesek any of the credit due of him of having been the rightful winner of the struggle.

Sporting Squibs I John Pesek, the Sheiton boy, wrestled the Hussane match Thursday night contrary to the advice of his physician, who insisted the condition of Pesek's right elbow and arm was such that he should not even consider going into a mat contest until after a lapse of six weeks.

Early last fall, when he was making ready for a busy cam paign. the, Shetton phenom broke an ankle bone. This particular accjden put him on the hospital list for a ful three months. Now comes another accident to keep him out of the grappling game, although he will go right ahead with his farm work, doing his share toward growing the crops which Uncle 6am so direly needs in the present war crisis. The Sheiton boy need offer no apologies for his failure to pin Hussane.

The Bulgarian, in the first place, is wrestling in great form this season, aa was evidenced by recent matches with Earl Caddock and Joe Stecker. It is a champion's task to pin the Bulgar- an. and Pesek, who tackled the job with only one good arm, really stacks up "as nothing less than a marvel. Pesek will be popular with future Lincoln audiences, in case his manager decides to bring his protege back to he capital city. PeseU's wrestling is all style.

He has speed, strength and kill. On top of Sheiton boy vreatles cleanly, having no time to waete nn Manager himself-hard pressed on numerous occasions to wrest- himself free from Pesek's favorite hold--the head scissors and arm lock. On at least a dosen occasions, Hussane's shoulders were within an inch or more of being pinned but the Bulgarian always managed to either bridge or writhe his way out of danger. Pesek wrestled the entire match with a badly Injured right elbow, the result of an accident sustained while in training for the bout The Sheiton boy's plight was not announced by his manager, who disliked call off the match and thus disappoint the public and Promoter Page, Despite his In- Jury, Pesek thrilled with his speed and skill, convincing every spectator that he was Hussane's master and proving that, if in prime trim, he has the ability to- overpower the Bulgarian win by dint" Of legitimate falls, rather than by flex disqualification. It was Pese' fippearftnce in a main event before a Lincoln audience and the Buffalo county boy more than made good.

A thirty-minute preliminary between Erven Carroll of Elmwood and Charley Bolus of Lincoln, went to Carroll on a decision. Bolus having failed his effort to handicap the Elmwood boy by winning two falls. Carroll conceded fifteen pounds to his opponent and easily held his own the full thirty- minute period.

Brother Tony represented the Stecker family at the Pesek-Hussane bout. Brother Joe also had plannsd to sec the boy and the Balkans grap. pier mix it up on the auditorium mat, but the sicknetts of Mrs, Stecker prevented him "in coming. While the bout was progress, Brother Tony urged Promoter Ray Page to enter into negotiations for a match with Eklund. Tony wants the bout at ll pounds.

He says he will be in prime form by the end of May, but doe not care to wrestle after the present month, as he objects to train. ing in hot weather. Tony Stecker and Clarence Eklund nave competed in three matches. Eklund was the. winner in one bout, Tony sustaining a severe arm injury and being compelled to surrender the decision, although his shoulders were not pinned.

two other Steclter- EkUnd bouts were draws. Eklund departed from Nebraska two weeks ago for h.s ranch near Buffalo, Planning to farm during the summer rough-house in the was sorely disappointed because Pesek's injury prevented the Sheiton phenom from pinning Hussane's shoulders to the pad, but Manager Mart need not take it to heart. It was apparent to most everybody In the audience that the Buffalo county boy was wrestling under a pronounced handicap; his right arm was kinked at the elbow and the crowd was more disposed to marvel at PeseX's ability to outwrestle Hus- sane, rather than to ciiticise because the Bulgarian was not actually flattened for two straight falls. Pug Griffin, the Lincoln boy, is getting: away to a fancy start with the Baltimore Orioles, for whhVi urtrrega- tlon he is covering first sack.
