STALLING MATCH
ENDS IN DRAW
A wrestling match that was widely
advertised throughout the east was
pulled off on the Fourth of July at
Omaha in which Joe Stecher and Ed
Lewis, heavyweights, wrestled for al
most five hours to a draw and accord
ing to the Omaha Daily News the
match was a disappointment to the
18,000 who were present.
The following was clipped from the
News for the benefit of The Daily
Times readers who have asked for an
account of the match.
Joe Stecher and Strangler Ed Lew
is tussled and danced for four hours
and 45 minutes at the Douglas county
fair grounds. Neither man got a fall
and at 9 o’clock, after each wrestler
showed the physical effects of the
long, hard tussle, Referee Smith de
clared the so-called match a draw.
The match was witnessed by a crowd
estimated at 18,000.
It was not a wrestling match—it
was a stalling match.
Lewis would not wrestle and Stech
er could not. Lewis apparently in
tended to stay with Stecher as long
as possible—and Stecher seemingly
did not have skill enough to bring
Lewis to the mat and make him wres
tle.
Lewis did not attempt to throw the
Nebraska athlete, contenting himself
by playing a defensive game from
start to finish, and successfully evad
ing every effort of Stecher to put into
use his famous scissors nold.
During the nearly- five-hour match
the two men were on their feet prac
tically all the time. Lewis kept his
head close to Stecher’s neck and
shoulders, and thus propped was able
to keep his legs and feet safe from
his opponent’s long arms.
Stecher made attempt after at
tempt to drop to the floor and gain a
hold on one of Lewis’ legs, but the
Strangler was too fast for him. When
ever Joe would drop and extend his
long arms, his only reward was emp
ty air. Lewis would be far away.
After wrestling and stalling around
for over four hours they finally- set
tled down and it looked to the faithful
few—hundreds had gore home—that
one of them would get a fall and the
crowd relaxed in the expectancy of
j some real wrestling that had not feat
1 ured the match up to this point.
Dimly one could see the wrestlers
pacing around in loving embrace.
Features were undiscernable, but it
was clear that both were feeling the
strains of the gruelling afternoon.
No longer did Joe dive like a cat for
Ed’s knees, no more did Ed playfully
; tap Joe on the nose and smile across
the ropes.
Once more Joe loughed Ed some
what, as he had done before. It was
a peculiar massage treatment, applied
with much vigor over the whole of
Ed’s face, possibly administered in
the hope of annoying Lewis or affect
ing his wind, but apparently- doing
nothing but improve his complexion.
Doctors got in touch with the man
agers. The docs said that^o continue ,
the match would be cruelty to animals
—that one or both of the men might
overwork their heart and kill them
for future matches.
This was about 9 o’clock. There
was no pep anywhere. Joe was worn
and so was Ed. The crowd was fa
tigued. Referee Ed Smith’s new ice
cream pants had lost their creases.
‘"A draw,” shouted Ed, unexpected
ly, throwing up his hands.
The wrestlers dragged to waiting
automobiles, the lights disappeared,
and the crowd went home—sore.
BLACK WOOLY DOG IN EGYPT
WILL GET WAR MEDAL SOON
LONDON, July 15.—There’s a
black, wooly dog somewhere out in
1 Egypt today who’s going to get a
real war medal soon.
Bruno, pet of the Royal Scots Fu
j siliers regiment, saved more lives in
five minutes than, probably, any oth- i
er hero of the war.
An official communique from Cairo
today tells how the Royal Scots beat
off a surprise attack by 500 Turks at '
Teuidar, with heavy loss to the Sul
tan’s soldiers.
Taking advantage of a heavy fog, ,
the Turks were able to advance steal-!
thily to within a few hundred yards
of the British camp. Bruno, barking
, furiously, dashed back and forth in
back of the camp until every man was !
on the alert. The Turks advanced out
of the mist and opened fire.
Warned in time by the canine
“trooper” the Royal Scots answered
the enemy bullet for bullet and the
I latter retired, leaving many dead and
wounded. Bruno was in the thick of
the fight. He was quite badly wound
ed and is only now slowly beginning
to recover. You may depend upon it,
he is in a real hospital and has the
best of care.
