_ sszsz, i The Omaha Sunday Dee r~ “s VOL. 62_NO. 36. P A R T T W O OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 11, 1923. _1—B_FIVE CENTS Four New Pilots to Be at Helms of Major League Baseball Clubs This Season Chance to Try Comeback With Boston Red Sox Arthur Fletcher of Phillies and Owen Bush of Senators to Pilot Clubs Without Previous Experience. Two debutants, one holdover who has his spurs yet to win, and one veteran who will try to stage a come back, constitute the new faces In the managerial frame of the major leagues for the coming season. The other 12 are more or less fixtures In the scenery. Arthur Fletcher of the Phillies, an.l Owen Busli of 'Washington, are the men who will make their first at tempts at diamond leadership. Bill McKechnio will try to show that his 1^ success as Gibson's successor m Pittsburgh last year was no fluke, and Frank Chance a former peerless leader, will try to yank the Red Sox of Boston out of the slough into which their owner has brought them. Probably tfio most general Interest centers in the return of Chance to the game after eight years of retire ment under Ihe shade of his own orange trees. On account of his former eminence he overshadows the more local interest felt in the success or failure of the other three aspirants to the managerial hall of fame. Chance will be the focus of more eyes on account of his great success in the National league and the oppor tunity he has to wipe out the memory of the failure he made In the Ameri can. Made Good With Tubs. In the seven and a half year9 he piloted the old Chicago Cuhs Chance demonstrated his right to the title of peerless leader hung on him by the king of press agents, C. Webb Mur phy. In the seven years of his full control Chance won four National league and two world's pennants. He was beaten out of two world’s cham pionships by such renowned tacticians as Fielder Jones and Connie Mack. When his great machine began to dis integrate lie was crowded into the discard at the end of 1912, but was templed hack the following year to manage the New York Yankees, who had been a consistent second division outfit for a decade. After two years of failure in Goth am. Chance quit, following a run-in ^ with Uevery, the secret owner and hoodoo qf the club, and declared he was through with baseball forever. Just what has tempted Chance to try his hand at building up another almost hopeless team Is a mystery. Maybe It Is the fact he has nothing to lose and everything to gain, for the Red Sox can’t do any worse than they have. Perhaps Chance believes he can enforce the same plan that worked so well tho first half dozen years he piloted the Cuhs. That was absolute control of his team and all that pertained thereto in the way of trades, purchases and releases. I recall one year, after Murphy’s success as a financial manager had convinced him he was a wise guy In all departments of baseball, the Cuhs were In Philadelphia in midseason. Coming in to breakfast one morning the P. L. handed mo a telegram he has just received from Murphy. It congratulated him on his victory of tlie previous day, then mentioned the fact that as Overall usually' had been successful against the Phillies It might be well to pitch him that day. Must Itcign Supreme. "I was going to work Ory today.” the manager growled, "but now I'll have to switch. Kvery little while I have to warn Murph about our agreement or he will try to run the whole works—just like that," Indicat ing the message. Chance pitched an other man that day, and won. if he has the game sort of an agreement with Frazce and can make the owner live up to it the P. B. may win back his laurels. , Fletcher and Bush are both vet eran players and, oddly enough, both have starred at shortfleid. Also thev p have served under two of the best leaders in their respective leagues. Mo draw and Jennings. Both game fight ers themselves on the diamond, they have been to school to great strate gists as well. Bush has the better opening because he will have a wise baseball man behind him In Clark driffith, while Fletcher will have to suit the hardest kind of a taskmaster in Baker. McKechnle's task ts a tough one because, to satisfy Preyfuss. he must fill the shoes of Fred Clark, one of the few really great managers of all time. Choynski Beat ’Em All in His Prime Pugllatl'c follower* who *mlle at Joe Choyriakl's claim that modern boxer* are not equal to the old-timer* do not recall the great feat* of the veteran, t'hoynakl, who weighed 160 pound*, knocked out Jack Johmion, George Godfrey, Peter Maher, Jim Hall, and other*.

Just like referees. KILBANE IN SOCIETY. Johpny Kilbane, the graj- haired champion featherweight of the world, is in New York hobnobbing With Tex Rickard. He will prob ably call on Morgan & Co. while In the big town. This would be proper Inasmuch ns Kilbane usually talks ■11 Liberty loan figures most of the time with a match in prospect. What are the wild Braves saying? (rive us a squad of pitchers. IT ISN'T THE FALL THAT HERTS THE BOXER. IT'S THE CALM 1TKFORK THE STORM. SO TO SPEAK. If Jess Willard can't get Jack oempsey In a ring with him for a it. why doesn't he suggest a Istd bout. If Jess could throw mpsey on the ring floor he could ' on the champ until the referee ashed counting 10. providing the dice didn't Interfere and take the •ftroe to the railroad station. \nyway, Willard says he isn't after the money in a bout with Dempsey. It's tbs championship he's after, all of which makes us •vender that when a fighter reaches that stage lie's either too o!d or it's a case for flic alienists. THESE ARE DREARY DAYS IN' THE NORTHERN CLIME— KBPEHIALLY FOR THE OOLFER. Even Tex Itickard has weakened on Willard and Itiekard ran stand a lut. SMAM. MATTER. McOraw and Jluglile Jennings have signed their 1023 contracts, so the Giants may bo said to ho at least two thirds within tho fold. _ > Harry J. Smith, formerly cham pion two mill- runner of tho United ■States, may be a fast bird in n race with other nthleies, but ho Isn't fast enough to keep away from his wife, who lias filed for a divorre. Jack Bentley, BallImore pitcher, must lliink lie's a boxer, lie's try ing to get the Giants to give him half the purc hase price. BASKET BAM, OFFM IAI.S. Is basket ball better off with two officials running a game Instead of one? This question htis been raised and lias revived talk favorable to tho two official idea since reports have gone out of rough games In the Missouri valley, The expense item Is one of the reasons why schools do not have (WU officials. Sometimes one of ficial can handle a game with good results. Take for Instance the Creighton games. Thus far tho officials have worked tho games well. Only one official has beon employed at each gam* and In ca</ InstnrtM has han dled the contest 1n the very best manner. Of course, one official can't see everything. Some of flier spectators dont’ realize this; others do. We have seen ail the games at Creigh ton and ran't say that the officials have not worked the games to the host of their ability. The oftlriat ing this season haw Iweii one of the features of the contests. In the Missouri Valley the rules provide for two officials, but In the "Big Nine" conference of which Creighton Is a member they do not. IP JACK DEMPSEY DOESN'T TAKE ON AN OPPONENT PRET TV BOON HIS NEXT BATTEE WIEE BE ADVERTISED AS "THE BATTEE OP THE CENTENARI ANS." \ftrr (hr Money. The baseball players don't give a hang whether the major or minor leagues agree on the draft or die agree, but what they are Interested in is just how much money they are going to receive each month If the minors can pay good sal ni. s they'll get good players, if they can't they won’t get the men, that s all. Ik'sides being tile highest priced minor leaguer, Willie Kaniin will make his how in major league com pany With a set of fielding gloves rimling $200. Kamm cost the While Stockings $100,000 mid lie spent $-*>0 for each glove. The gloves wrre made to order. Now if Willie Kamm is another Marty O'Toole who's going to get the horse laugh? Dartmouth May Lose Grid Star in Spring A curious case |s that of Cyril Aseh cnbark, elected captain of tho Mart mouth eleven for next fall. Ho In such a good student that ho Is likely to ho graduated from college In •lu te, even though ho Is eligible for another year of football. It seems that lie entered Dartmouth from a Now Jersey high school at the end of ttie war. The exlngeneles of Ills course in the Tuck School of Ad ministration anil Finance caused him to miss a season of football. Thus ho has hnd only two years on the varsity. He could remain In college by fall ing In certain exams, but Aschcnhaek lias been it brilliant student and the Dartmouth faculty would l>c likely to suspect the underlying reasons for his sudden stupidity. And thus sus picious they might have something to say shout Cyril's gridiron propecta for 1!>23. (riant (lonntahlc Breaks Weight-Lifting Record Arlitur Clroux, stunt provincial con stable, Is believed to have broken nil world's weight lirtliiK records when lie i.ilscd from the ground t" the level of his chest four Iron durnlihells whoso combined weight was roll) pounds. The strong man also raised from tho ground to nliovo his head Weights of 231’4. 241 rind 230 pounds and ele vated another bar weighing 213 pound/- f Major League Magnates Busy Denying “Babe’s” Assertion That 3,390,000 Saw Games Joe Vila, a well known sport writer, says that • Rabe" Ruth has aroused the major league baseball magnates to such a pitch of Indignation that they are busy denying his assertion that "one of the New York clubs played to 3,390,000 spectators last season." T’sually the magnates will allow irresponsible statements to pass un challenged, but In Ruth's disclosures they believe much harm has been done and they are eager to refute them. Ruth argues that, in view of this "big business," ball players should not be called "holdups" and "robbers" because they seek salary raises of ? 1,000 or more. Ruth undoubtedly meant the Yan kees when he talked of "one of the New York clubs.” for he hail no op portunlty to obtain a llns on the Giants' patronage In 1922. But the big fellow evidently failed to figure out the problem before he made pub lic his estimate. To draw 3,390.000 during their games at the Polo Grounds and In the other American league cities, the Yanees would have had to attract an average of about 22,000 to each of the 104 scheduled games. Two thirds of their paid attendance was recorded In this city, meaning more than 2.O0O.CT00 admissions at an average of 80 cents, or 51,600,000 In gross receipts. One fourth of this sum, $400,000, would have gone lo visiting clubs, while on tho road the Yankees would have received 25 cents for each of 1,000,000 admissions, or $250,000. Says Boxing Game Needs Same Kind of Government Under Which Baseball Will Operate - (S) New York, Feb. 10.—(Special.)—A sporting authority say* that boxing has become "commercialized" to an alarming degree and needs the same kind of government under which base ball Is expected to gain prestige. I'n iess money prizes hnng up for cham pions of the ring arn greatly reduced, together with the ticket rates, the sport may be wiped out by hostile legislation. The public, which makes boxing possible, does pot enthuse over the report that Jack Dempsey, for in stance, can have nearly $1,000,000 for meeting Wills, Deckett and Wil lard at the Polo grounds. If Dempsey should accept this proposition the pub lic would l.e asked to pay. If the boxing commission doesn't care to assume the responsibility, the Albany legislators can obtain popular results by amending the law so that no boxer performing In this state can receive more than $50,000 for his services. A maximum price of $5 for a ringside seat would be hailed with widespread approval. ^ a If s Banket Ball Team One of Surprises of Year New York, Keb. 10,—(Special.)— One of the great surprises of the year Is the spurt made by Yale's basket ball team. I.nst year's tall enders are now leading the league quintets, and they have not lost a game since tho season began. Coach Fogerty, the former brains of tbe I’enn staff, la the hero of the ( hour at New Haven. No other Yale coach Is for the moment at lenst rid ing so high and mighty as tho Quaker mentor of last year. Front a few lutndred spectators, composed largely of fans who frit they owed the team their support the attendance nt tho homo contests of the Bulldogs has reached thousands, with other thou sands turned away. White Weakened by Sweat Bath New Yrk, Feb. 10.—Derisively de feated by Rocky Kansas, the two by four fighting man from Btffalo, Charlie White, of Chicago, who has been near to a world * boxing cham pion more times, perhaps, than any ether man, today Is farther away than ever. Charlie took a sever beat ing ‘from Rocky during 15 rounds of milling at Madison Square Garden last night. It was Rocky's fight from the start and virtually every round was his. though In several sessions Charlie did jolt his opponent when he thought he was being shown up too badly. White had l-een promised a bout with Champion Benny Leonard for tho lightweight title If he defeated Kansas, whom Leonard beat last sum mer. Whether Kansas will get an other whack st the champion Is less certain. The Chicagoan appeared unusually unaggresslve. It may have been due to weakness precipitated by time j spent In n Turkish bath whence he went to reduce his over poundage to save forfeit of $2,600. At noon he was more than a pound over 135, the contracted weight and so he spent , some time In a steam room. At 2 o'clock when he weighed In he was i 12 ounces overweight, but no one demurred until 2:15 when White had broken his fast. When forfeit of the $2,300 was requested he asked for 45 minutes more In the hake oven, but It failed. Iowa Wrestler* 'Win.

HOT STOVE ») LEAGUE □ ARNEY Burch, owner of the Omaha Buffaloes has mailed out all the contracts and Is "watch fuly waiting." Barney recently received word from "Red" WHder, Buffalo catcher, saying that he was ready to don the mask and chest protector and give the ol' signals. "Red" has been spending the win ter at his home in the east and writes that he will be ready to go south with the rest of the squad whenever Manager Ed Konetchy gives the word. • • • OMAHA fans remember Joe Beck er, the "uirp" who provided many a laugh out at the Buf faloes park last season. Well, Joe has been tendered a Job handling an indicator in the Pacific coast league and is expected to accept. Besides .jeing one of those birds they call an umpire, Joe Is somewhat of a wrestler and what’s more be looks every bit a grappler. Y}U gotta hand it to that Wichita cluh. "Baldy" Isbell works hard and works fast when he works. Thus far Isliell has got the follow ing signed to 1923 contracts; Catchers Be.ill, McMullen; idtchers, Gregory, McDonnell. McNamara and Perry; first baseman, McDowell: second base man, Goodwin: third baseman, Butler, and outfielders Gonlan and Blakosley. Isbell has all hut signed Pitchers Sellers, Maun, House. Akrlght and Hovlik to a contract. Outfielder Smith and Shortstop Beck are two more soon-to-be Witches, so the report goes. • • • TONT DeFATE, new Buffalo | shortstop, is wintering in Kansas j City, which is his home. Tony, as a means of livelihood during the off season, woika in a dry goods store selling pictures, Tony has let it be known that he hellev* he belongs in faster company, but is willing to take his time nbout getting there. DeFate has signed a 1 p”3 Buffalo contract. With Defate at Shortstop, the in- j field of the Buffaloes will las strengt hened considerable. Konetchy will le* at f.rst. Gis'ason at second and Tex McDonald at third. This Tex McDonald is considered a whizz of a thin! sacker. McDonald, says Barney Burch, Is a better third baseman than Grantham, whlrli is saying quite a lot. AJaiT of Omaha lame ball fans hate to see l*:in Tipple, th# vet eiun hurler, leave the ol' town. There is no denying the fact that Tipple was too fast f>r the Western league last season. Dan goes to Min neapolis in the association and the Millers nre expecting to use him on their regular pitching staff. One thing can he said about Tlppls He's no longer a spring chicken, hut he should he good for several season* In Class double "A" hall, providing, of course, he takes care of himself. • • • CARL EAST, home run slugger of "Pa" Tearney's little circuit, and sold last season by Wichita to the Minneapolis club, is satisfied with the terms of his first contract, ac cording- to report* published In Mlnne a polls newspapers • m • nAVI' I'ANFOilTlI former Brown hurler who pitched the Tulsa Oiler* to n flock of vle torles last season, will make another attempt to "comeback" for the big league honor*. I'anforth has signed a contract to pitch for the St. touts Browns. The big boy was ousted from the league about the middle i f the m:2 campaign for alleged doctoring of the "pill." Brown officials say there Isn't any thing against I'anforth and that his success tills season Is welcomed by the club, all of which means that every Brownie from the lint boy up wilt try to help Itave out this season, J I'anforth Is one of the real myste-y men of baseball, of which there are not many, 1'avo has a world of "stuff"- speed, curve and change of pace- everything that makes a good hurler. ____ . I Omaha Owls W in. The Omaha Owla trimmed Hie 1'oiE ' Omaha Imskrt hall team laet night nt the Fort Omaha "gym" by the aoore of 15 to 1$. The game was fast and clean. Mullen and Snmmcrlad were the stars. The Bellevue Vocational School basketItal team ha* won 14 ronsec utlve victories this season and Is still going strong. The soldiers have won nearly all of their contests by large margins. Early next month the Bellevue quintet meets the Omaha Athletic club team in a game that is liable to upset the Bellevue championship hopes, although the O. A. five hasn't shown anything in it's games that would lead one to believe the soldiers are in for a trimming. The Omaha Athletic club lioop sters are preparing for t|iis game and are bending every effort to put a stop to this speeding business on the part of the Bellevue eager*. Morrie Loses to S h a (1 e in Stiff Fight Tluit Morrie Schlaifer has "hit his stride 1 or Is fighting "over his head,'' was the opinion of Omaha ring fans today after reading accounts ot his fight Friday at Duluth with Dave Shade. Although losing the decision. Schlaifer put up a great battle against the Gotham speed artist. Omahans at the ringside wire th at Schlaifer at times out-boxed his clever opponent, j In his fight here next Thursday night with Frankie Sehoeli. Schlaifer n ill have accomplished a feat seldom tackled by any fighter—that of fight ing three of the ranking contenders within less than three weeks. Fought Cautiously. Although a majority r.f Omaha fight fans believe Wells was entitled, to the decision ever Schla.fer in their bout here last week, alt concede he made the prettiest fight of his career. Schlaifer fought cautiously against Shade last night, after being dropped with a sharp left hook in the first round. In the second round Morrle caught Shade with three sharp hooks and turned him around. Turned Shade Around. The third, fourth, f.fth and sixth rounds were fairly even. Schlaifer waiting for Shade to lead and then countering with rights and lefts to the tasty. Schlaifer failed to display the wildness ihat has marked many of his recent fights. Schlaifer turned Shade completely around In the seventh with a right cross to the head, hut missed several wild swings, losing the advantage which his flying start had earned in this round. The two men exchanged Wows toe to toe in the eighth and ninth rounds, at times bringing the crowd to Its feet. Shade's speedy left 'Jab. daxrled the Omaha boy at the start of the tenth round, but Schlaifer finished with a fast attack that slowed up the New Yorker.

Mrs. Fox first appeared in the ra tional championship records in 15S9, when she reached the final at the Philadelphia Country club and was defeated by Miss Ruth Underhill, 2 and 1. She has competed in IS tour naments since then and Is reported as never having failed to qualify. A glance through the records will show that most of her defeats came from high class players. Mrs. Fox made her first appearance in a Chicago tournament in 1903 at the Chicago Golf club, when she v-.s defeated In the second round by Bes s:e Anthony of Chicago who later v. ou the title. Mrs. Fox at that time l ad gray hair, and this perhaps has given rise to the belief in recent years that the was nearing the TO mark. Han Eight Grandchildren.
