THREE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES CHANGE HANDS IN SHORT TWENTY-FOUR HOURS

Three titles are now in new hands. And it all happened in 24 hours. At Anita, la., Earl Caddock, a private in the National army, was awarded a referee’s decision over Wladek Zbyszko, champion wrestler. Caddock took the first fall after one hour and twenty minutes of rough going. When the agreed limit of two and a half hours of actual wrestling had expired the referee awarded the decision to Private Caddock, N. A. The decision carried the title with it. At Saranac Lake, Bobbie McLean won the world’s professional speed skating championship, defeating Edmund Lamy in three special events. In Chicago, Augie Kieckhefer won the world’s championship at threecushion billiards from Alfred De Oro by scoring a total of IDO" points to De Oro’s 128.
