He Made Great Impression on the X. Y. Mat Fans. New York. Jan. 28. Joe Stecher. the DodRe, Neb., wrestling phenom, proved conclusively to New York mat fans Thursday niht that he is really entitled to a part of the honor he and his western friends claim for him when he defeated the Masked Marvel who has been the sensation of the Gotham wrestling tournament. Stecher won from the M. M. in straight falls, getting the first in ten minutes and the second in six. The Nebraskan weighed 200 pounds and the Masked Marvel 193. Stecher was previously matched with Khyflzko for a bout Thursday night, but Zbyszko backed out at the last minute and the Masked Marvel accepted the westerner's challenge and took Zbyszko's place. Many exp. rts , Vo saw the match and saw Stecher use his wonderful scissors, with which he has won all of his matches, predict that the Ne braskan will make a clean sweep of all who oppose him while he is in the east, and a great number think he will have no trouble throwing Gotch if the latter is ever induced to meet him. Stecher will probably meet Zbyszko and Strangler Iewis in the near fu ture. AOGIKS WIN HtOM XOHMAI.S. The Farmer Five Defeats Emporia Teachers by 26 to 19 Seore. Manhattan. Kan., Jan. 2S. By a score of 26 to 19 the Aggies defeated the Kmporia Normalites here Thurs day night in a fast, well played game. In the first half the Teachers played a safe, cautious game, making a few trials at goals. After the first four minutes of play their coach speeded the Normal lineup, sending Shupe to center. Hartwig to guard, and Hirsch ler to forward in place of Felch. This shift put speed into the Teach ers and. dropping their defensive tac tics, thev began running up points. The first half ended 13 to 7 in favor of the Aggies. The second half was evenilv divided, the Aggies tnaking 13 aeainst the Teachers' 12. Out of seven chances Cutler for the Teachers made five free throws. Hirschler made one try and missed. Out of nine chances, Adams for the Aggies scored on eight. The lineup: Aggies. position. . . R.

J'-our Old Hears Will Not Ho With Sic Gill's Club Again. Denver. Colo., Jan. 2S. Contracts to memhers of the 1916 Denver base hall club were sent out Thursday and the list revealed many changes in the makeup of the club for the coming season. Four new men, fiicners vveoo and Howard. Infielder liver and Out fielder Harris were tendered contracts. Dyer was recently purchased from the New York Nationals and the other three players were secured by draft last fall. At least four of last year's main stays of the team will not play with Denver this season. Jack Coffey, ex manager, who resigned his post during the last week of the season, Larry Spahr. Prince Gaskell and Moose Mc cormick will be among those not pres ent at the call of "Play ball" this summer. Jack Coffey has refused to remain with the Denver club because of differences with the owner; Spahr and Gaskell have been told that they can make deals for themselves, and McCormiek has been placed on the market. It is believed that these four men and probably other members of the team, will be sold or traded. BALTIMORE FEDS WILL PRESS ANTI-TRUST SUIT Baltimore. Md., Jan. 28. Stock holders of the Baltimore Federal league baseball club, at a meeting here Thursday empowered the board of directors ol the organiza tion to raise $50,000 for pressing the so-called anti-trust suit before Judge Lund is in Chicago. The di rectors also were authorized to set in motion any other litigation for the protection of the stockholders' rights. EYBCIUG Sport Wheezes lil BY CLUG An Omaha writer accuses Johnny Bender of wanting the coaching job at Nebraska and of then bringing Chamberlain's ineligibility to light aft er he failed to get it. Also, the Omaha man wonders why i the Nebraska authorities did not dis cover Chamberlain's status long ago. 1 And the Omaha man is an old Ne braska student, too. The statement that Bender wanted the Husker job may, and it may not be right. A few days after Stiehm's resignation was accepted this page carried a statement from Bender in which he denied that he was a candi date for Jumbo's place. However, two or three weeks later a Manhattan correspondent discovered a chance to lengthen his string by sending out stories to the effect that Bender might go back to his old love. Whether or not these stories were based on facts is not known. It is hard to see where Bender de serves to be criticised for challenging the eligibility of Chamberlain, despite the fact that he is an old Husker man. Surely those who criticise him do not mean to intimate that Cham berlain should have been allowed to play despite his ineligibility. And surely Bender would not be worthy of the reputation he has mado for himself if he had continued to draw a salary from the Aggie school and at the same time winked at the violation of a rule by the strongest rival the Aggies expect to have. The assertion Is being made that in terest in the proposed W illard-Moran bout is dying out because of the horse play the promoters have been Indulg ing in since it was first proposed. Such interest as there was in the bout, however, is not likely to suc cumb so readily. No one was expect ing a really great fight. Few, if any. have ever expected Jess to lose his crown in a 10-round affair. The only interest the real fans have in the skir mish comes from the fact that it will give them a chance to get a line on the comparative strength of the two men, and they will grab this chance when ever it comes. THK FKKSHMKX "W'S." This column is in receipt of a two page typewritten letter, signed "The Washburn Freshmen" containing some hot stuff relative to the order of the athletic board in which it is demanded that the freshmen football players surrender the "W" sweaters that were awarded to them. It is regrettable that the letter can not be published in full, but inasmuch as there is an office rule that forbids the publication of unsigned letters, this cannot be helped. However, in an effort to give the freshman side of the matter, extracts from the mild er parts of the epistle are given be low. "The freshmen have decided they will not surrender their letters unless the athletic board agrees to" replace our 'W's' with large '19's.' ' the com munication says. "The freshmen take this stand because the athletic board or the college did not give the sweat ers, but our class did. The letter and figures on the sweaters stand for the class and not for the college. Most of the freshmen say they would not wear the sweaters if the symbols stood for or represented the college. We look upon the sweaters as our person al property, and consequently, if the board wishes to take our letters off, they will have to pay for them with the equivalent of the V which we think is a 19 in fact we think a '19 is a little more desirable than a "W." " The remainder of the communica tion is really the most interesting part. It takes a shot at the varsity letter men who started the rumpus, and some real cutting things are said about them, but as this does not seem germain to the controversy it is elim inated. Also, the communication states that the freshmen do not think Coach Cray is the cause of the recall ing of the 'W's.' ' Bethany Wallops Cooper. Lindsborg, Kan., Jan. 28. Bethany college defeated Cooper college in basketball here Thursday night, 37 to 11. Cooper made only three field goals. SHE BULLIED BAT Xelson's "Pal" Wife Made Life Miserable for Him. She Wanted Him to Look Like a Real Tough Fug. Chicago, Jan. 28. It's off. There isn't going to be any further exchange of communiques between Battling Nelson and his pretty, talented wife with a view of reconciling their numerous and various marital differ ences. And, furthermore, the "Dur able Dane' has come to a belated con clusion that an interval of single blessedness is preferable to just being a wifeless husband. All of which led up to the suit filed Wednesday in the circuit court by the former lightweight champion to divorce Mrs. Fay King Nelson, to whom he was married three years ago and who has since consid ered him only as a "pal." Mrs. Nelson found satisfaction, it seems, in marrying an idol of the fis tic arena and hugely enjoyed that country-wide blaze of publicity that attended the wedding. But after that she found greater happiness in contin uing her cartooning work in Denver away from her husband. Wanted Him Tough. "She wanted me to eat a water cress salad when I wanted a beefsteak. "She wanted me to wear a cap and sweater so I would look like a tough pugilist. "She didn't want me to get my ears operated on so I could look like a hu man being. "And she humiliated me before my friends every chance she got." These are a few of the reasons Bat gave for filing his divorce suit. Bat was in a doctor's office having the cauliflower trimmed out of his ears when seen by a reporter today. "Believe me, this hurts," he said, "but it is nothing to the grief I have been having for the last three years. ever since 1 got married. "That wife of mine sure made life miserable for me. If I said anything I said too much. If I didn't say any thing there seemed to have been some thing I ought to have said. If I did anything I did it wrong and if I didn't do anything I made a mistake anyway. Will Try Again. 'Believe me, when this divorce suit Is over I am going to take a good va cation. Then just as soon as I find the right girl, I am going to get married again. "I am going to have that belated honeymoon trip to Australia if I have to take it alone. My present wife wouldn't go across the street with me." In his bill Nelson incorporated ex cerpts of several letters that his wife sent to him during the three year in terval of their separation. Most of them dealt with her determination never to live with him. These were written, however, in the latter part of their corresponding. Other letters written shortly after their marriage referred to him as "My Dear Little Woolly Lamb" and her "Lamb-Eyed Battling" and conclude with "tons and oodles of kisses," Tried to Kill Him. "There Isn't a chance In the world I couldn't live with you under any circumstances I'm done," was the wife's telegraphed answer to the pugi list's final plea for reconciliation, made before filing the court bill. And here is the way this artist wife treated her pugilist husband, accord ing to that bill : "In a fit of anger the defendant did attempt to take the life of the com plainant herein by endeavoring to strike him with a fire-escape appara tus that was in the room, obliging the complainant to remain awake over night in order to protect his life. "Upon another she attempted to cut the throat of this complainant with a pair of scissors. In other ways the defendant greatly humiliated the com plainant by her actions and conduct," added the bill.

It was not necessary to mail the contracts for over a month, but the Wolves' president considered that the boys might as well get the terms at once which can be offered to thein under the new rulings and if they do not like the looks of them they will have plenty of time to scout around and try to better themselves.

NIGHT N CRIME Jfegro Woman Shoots Man and Surrenders to Police. W C. Burk Held Up and Robbed of Two Dollars. For a short time Thursday night crime made a feeble effort to regain its old standing in Topeka. Shortly after 7 o'clock at No. 2 Park Place Bertha Olive, a negress, shot and wounded Tom Jones in the thigh. A few minutes after the shooting the Olive woman rushed into the police station and gave herself up. Jones's wound was not serious. The woman said Jones, who is a negro, was chas ing her. Dr. C. C. Lull, county physi cian, attended the injured man. A half hour later. W. C. Burk. who lives in the 800 block on Madison street, was held up in the same block by two men. He was relieved of $2 that he carried in his change pocket. Both the hold-ups were white men and stopped Burk by thrusting guns in his face and ordering him to reach for the sky. Detectives Alba and Woodward investigated the hold-up but owing to the incomplete descrip tion which Burk was able to give no arrests were made. Shortly after 6 o'clock Detective McGovern picked up E. C. Chapman, who the police claim has been doing a rushing business in Topeka in passing bad checks for small amounts. The arrest was made at the Santa Fe de pot. His last offense at sliding the worthless paper was at the Curry pool hall, 623 Quincy street, where he obtained 51, according to McGovern. McGovern also questions the method used in obtaining several meal tick ets the man had in his pockets. THE $1385 p $1485 II $1495 1 Buffalo In Canada. Winnipeg, Man., Jan. 28.
