What’s Happened to Harry Wills ? * * * * *# * * * Contender for Dempsey’s Crown *-** * * * * * * Loses Prestige in Johnson Fight By FRANK G. MKNKE. Copyright. 1#4S. AN anyone I ell us where llarry Wills has parked hi« ponderous self? And who's responsible? Something rather (|ualnt—almost peculiar—in the huge and dusky heavyweight conduct of late. For something like a year llarry flitted hither and yon, poking enemies into submission with one paw and hurling challenges at Jack llempsey with t'other. Oh, what a gay and festive world it was—then. For with each new poke and each new defi, the clamor for a Dempsey-Wllls affair became greater. And, as the rabble howled for the spilling of Dempsey Wills blood, the two hoys chuckled happily. All this feverish enlhusia*ni stuff meant bigger and bigger receipts. And then something happened It’s no secret now to state that one l,eo F. Flynn, caused to transpire exactly what did transpire. Mynn manages Kill Krennun. Me thought Kill good enough to take another whack at Ilempaey. Hut the nabobs in New York state ruled against the fight. When the match was all “rooked up" for a Michigan setting, the dear old governor strutted along and said “nay—nay.’.' • rro/e Out llieniian. ^ That practically froze out Brennan —anti re-established Wills again as Dempsey's next logical- opponent. All of which annoyed and fretted Flynn to an extreme. ' Wills is a fistic bum—that's all,” he ejaculated, "lie dodges Brennan. All he does is pose as Dempsey's real opponent. Watch me show him up.” Flynn also manages Clem Johnson, a negro heavy, who is little more than mediocre. Flynn, in preparing the rude shock for Wills, painted Jojinson as more of a dub than he really is. And Wills ‘‘fell” for the match. It happened in New York. The af fair lasted 12 roumfc before the ref eree halted the proceedings and awarded Wills the fight via the tech nical knockout route. No Glory for Wills. One naturally assumes there's glory in any sort of fistic triumph. But ihere wasn't for Wills—not that night. In fact, Wills lost more prestige than he had gained in a previous year of fighting. v Johnson was terrible that night. Yet Wills, reputed to have dynamite in each hand, couldn't put Clem on the canvas and keep him there. John son couldn’t step a hundred yards while Jack Dempsey was reeling off a mile. Yet Johnson managed to hop out of Wills’ way again and again i hat night. Johnson closed his eyes before he let fly with wild fists— and yet he rattled punches off of Harry. Drawing a line on what Wills allow ed that night against Clem Johnson, ' ' he wouldn’t last -42 seconds against ! * Dempsey. And so it was that Flynn got his levenge—and accomplished his at- | tempt to show up Wills as an over rated gladiator. In Retirement. Ever since that night Wills lias been in retirement. Why? Did Paddj Mullins, his manager, awaken to the fact that Wills either skidded, or is over-rated. And that it's dangerous * 10 expose him to any more fights be fore the big money shot at Dempsey? Or. did Jack Kearns, boss of Demp sey, who all along thought Wills soft pickings for Dempsey, slip Mullins s tip tike this: Hey. keep that big baby away from tough ones or he "i get knocked over and knock us out of a million dollar fight.” If these aren’t among the reasons. . what s the real range for the inactivi ty of Wills, who could he making from *15,000 to *50,000 fighting white and negro challengers this winter— and yet spurns them all and lingers in seclusion. Murchison Divorced 9t. Bouis, Jan. 18.—Mrs. fieneva Murchison obtained today a divorce from Boren Murchison, the sprinter, by default.

BA5t£BADK was first played un der that name in Bust in in 1849. They still play something under that name in Boston. A. J. Reach was the first pro fessional player. While playing for Brooklyn in 1864 he was offered a salary by the Philadelphia Ath letics. , He was the first. Also the last ever offered a salary by the Ath letics of Philadelphia. The first record of ( looked base ball was on September 28, 1863, when three Mutual players tossed the works to the Rckford team of Brooklyn. The three financiers want behind the barn and divided a bag of peanuts three ways. I'd until 1848 a runner was out if ire thrown ball hit him. T'p until January 15, 1923. an umpire was out if anything hit him. Baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday in Cooperstown. 1839. That was the first time that an umpire was called mister. Also the last time The ball was made of snow. The liases were high hats. Abner made i three bases on one time at bat and 'he neighbors burned him for witch craft. Candy Cummings of the Brook lyn Stars was (he first pitcher to curve a. wild throw. He bent the curve one inch and the batter's back a foot. The catcher tried to scoop up the ball and it knocked bis cap off on the fly. There were three umpires in the game that season on the theory that one of them would guess right. TTniforms were first worn by the Knickerbockers in 1831. when the home boys trimmed their travel ing beards to the same size and wore shoes at the bat. The first short pants were worn by the Cincinnati Reds in 1869. That entitled them to half-fare de cisions from the home umpire, and when one of them robbed a bank, all the judge said was. “Boys will lie boys./ (Cooyrighl, 1 e2 3 > Dundee and Train Win Grade School Cage Tilts t Dundee and Train emerged victo rious in yesterday’s game in The Oma ha Bee grade school basket ball tournament, Dundee defeating Howard Kennedy, 15 to 9, by virtue of its supe rior team work, and Train trouncing Comenius, 22 to 12.

IS.—Thick wave* of j skepticism are rolling up in the wake | of the announcement that Jimmy j Wilde, the world's champion fly | weight boxer, favors accepting the j offer of the National Sporting Club for a, bout with Pumho Villa, the American title holder. The chief reason for the skep ticism of the "Doubting Thomases" j is the failure of followers of British boxing affairs, to understand why Wilde should want to take on the clever young Filipino who holds the American title. Wilde is a wealthy man. He owns whole blocks of houses in his home—Cardiff, Wales— and derives a sweet Income from the proceeds of a thriving bookmaker's business at Cardiff. It is difficult for fans here to believe that mere fi nancial considerations would lie strong fnouglt to induce Wilde to emerge from his two-year retirement. There is also a general belief that Wilde is "all through" as a. fighter and that he knows it. His bout with Pete Herman two years ago, in which the American scrapper gave "Wee Jimmy" a terrific lacing, is regarded as having marked the end of Wilde's fighting career. That fight took so much out of the little British marvel that it was generally believed he had lost his taste for the punishment continued appearance in the ring would entail.

When Vale and Harvard were getting ready to cele brate their bicentennials Iowa athletes were using herds of buffalo to train their football players in tackling the bulls. Today Iowa is 15 years at least ahead of Yale and HarvardJ in physical education and gaining rapidly. While the traditional leaders of education in America are still discussing and wrangling over the “problem” of athletics, Iowa has accepted it as settled, has incorporated , it in its educational plan, and—far from concluding that ath letics may be injurious to students—is using football, the \ bete nore of the endowed universities, as the rallying point | of all its activities. l to Be leader*. Those me my ideas, after visiting Iowa City, but I would hesitate to express them but for the fact that they also are the ideas of Vale, Harvard, j Princeton and other eastern university men who now are among the leaders who are building on the rolling prairies overlooking the winding river an | educational institution which they believe will become the leading university l of America. They can see no reason why Iowa should not lead. The state is one of the richest; its wealth is more evenly distributed than that of any common wealth in the world; it has no poverty and no large cities.

Tradition Is Jarred. When the gold sweatered warriors of Iowa crashed down upon the Blue team in Yale's bowl last fall the East and tradition were Jarred to * their back teeth. Hastily glancing at tin old New England geographies, they discovered that the Stalked Plains have been subdivided into states, and that Iowa is one of them. It was, of course, shocking to find that a school daring to call itself a university was somewhere out there. Fact is, it was only about 10 years ago that Iowa realized-its own possi bilities. The state university then was a little agricultural school, and it was a waste to send their own sons there. But in that brief time Iowa has rushed to the front. How have they done it? Team work of the same Idnd that they use on the football field. The president of the school is as much interested in ath letics and keeps in as close toucli witn sports as with any university activ ity, excepting perhaps the beautiful hospital for crippled children, where the medical department treats 6.000 Iowa defective babies a year. The, football coach, who also is physical director, is as much inter ested in the academic success of stu dents as he Is in winning games. In the gymnasium you will find a fea ture perhaps unique In American uni versities certainly unknown in the east. It is the faculty locket room, packed with gym clothes. Out there the "profs'' have their own teams. They do not leave faculty contact with tjie students to the coaches, hut get closely in touch. The relations between faculty and the student body are closer <han in any school I have visited; all work to gether and play together. Football Kall.v Point. Which explains why football is used as the rally point of Iowa, and why homeoeming day brings (lie whole slate, and instead of being merely a footboll celebration is turned into a great demonstration of patriotism and of loyalty to school, state and na tion. How is it made possible? Because President Wallet- Jessup, bis deans and profs, decided upon a policy, united behind it, and were fortunate enough to find an athletic director whose ideas ami ideals are the same as theirs. You'll find that in every school the character of the coach determines the character of athletics more than any faculty determination can do. Iowa secured Howard Jones, Yale refei-s to him as Tad's brother, and Iowa refers to Tad as Howard's broth er. Thpse two fellows—both Yale and Exeter heroes—are destined to exert a tremendous influence upon the edu cational life of America. Tad just now is attempting at Yale, after 221 years of Indecision, to put into effect a plan of universal physical educa tion patterned after the one Howard has incomplete operation at Iowa. Yale Ideals in Iowa. Yale needn't wince at the Idea of copying after the west. The highest and best Yale ideals are those trans planted and nourishing at Iowa City. Chicago Diamond Star Shines as Golf Player Eos Angeles. Jan. 18.—Arnold Statz, outfielder of the Chicago National league baseball club, is proving himself almost as great a player with a golf club as with a baseball bat. In matches here Statz has defeat ed many of southern California's best amateur players and his latest accomplishment was the breaking of the course record at the San Ga briel Country club with a 70. On the last green Statz missed a three foot putt which oridnarily is easy for him to sink. Had he made it on the first attempt, he would have tied the professional record for the course. Pocatello.

Lambert, corporation coun sel. this morning gave the decision that the city has full authority to charge fees for golf playing on municipal links, impose regulations for the play a ml penalty for violation of these regulations. He gave this decision at the r* quest of City Commissioner J. B. Hummel, who is m sympathy with the movement put on foot here by municipal golf organizations and im provement clubs to obtain a munic ipal golf fee. Hummel has promised golfers that the yearly budget appropriated for the maintenance of the public links will not be trimmed and also th.tt every cent obtained from the golf assessments shall be expended on the links. Hummel has favored a municipal* golf fee for the past two years. He introduced an ordinance ■ last year, but is was defeated. “The council is aware that the golfers wish to pay a f* «• and there by have better courses." said Hum mel.
