Wichita and Omaha Cross Bats This Afternoon in Opening Game at Omaha Frank Okrie, May or Lee to Start for Buffaloes—Expect Large Crowd Manager Gregory May Assign Maun to Hurl Against Home Entry—Witches on Scene Ready to Start Opener. By RALPH WAGNER. ASEBALL, king of all sports, will again mount | 1111| his throne in Omaha this afternoon prepared l §: J to rule over one of the most successful of all I n seasons in this city. I he king will take his seat when the Bul faloes and Witches, otherwise known as Omaha and Wichita, respectively, cross blud geons in the initial game of the Western league season. . The game, as usual, will he played at the Fifteenth and Vinton street lot and is down on the program to com mence at 3:30 o’clock. Barring cyclones, hailstorms, cloud weeps and other accidents, these two -Western league clubs will probably play to one of the largest opening day crow'ds in the his tory of baseball in Omaha. Tickets for the big opener have been selling fast and everything gives promise of a large crowd of customers. King Baseball rode into Omaha on' the cushions Monday night when the Omaha club arrived in this burg from* St. Joseph. Wichita, as cocky as ever, blew into town last night from their native town ready to open their first road trip of the season with a victory. "Stunts" on Program. The usual opening day stunts will he pulled off before the game gets underway. First, the ployers of both teamn, together with the mayor and other well-known OmaUans, will be guest* at a big "feed" to be given this noon at the Chamber of Com merce. After they put on the “feed bag" the players will journey out to the ball park, where some more stunts will be reeled off as sort of a bargain day attraction for the fans, fannettes and other baseball "bugs." Kd Konetchy, manager of the Buffaloes, was undecided last night just what Buffalo he would semi to the firing line. Frank ((Uric, “Buck shot" May or Fee are the likely candidates for tlie opening eontest. At any rate these three “chuck ers” will be given a chance to show I heir stuff ffin the workouts previ ous to game time and the one who shows up best will draw the assign ment to start the opener. Boss Gregory of the Witches lias half decided to send Maun against the Buffaloes. Maun beat the herd down in Wichita th» other day and the vis iting applethrower is of the opinion that he can trim the Buffaloes on their home grounds as well as any other place In the league. lias Club of Hitters. Omaha Is returning to its home town with a club of hitters amt dandy field ers. but not such good pile Wets. How ever, the season's still in its short pants and the pitchers ate expected to round into better condition before long. They gotta do botttr. opines Konetcliy, or they'll get the well known gate. The Buffaloes are not leading the league, neither are they in second place. But what matters how far up thpy are in the standings? Omaha is still In the league and the season Is young, so the best^ is yet to come, if you want to take our word. The, Witches sort «f made life miserable for the Buffaloes down In Wichita last week and Manager Konetcliy figures that if he can turn the tables on Wichita this week everything would be fine ami dandy as far as Omaha and Wichita are concerned. If there is a dub in the league that can hit harder than Omaha we would like to see 'em. "Png' Griffin. .lor Bonowitz, Did; O'Connor. Tony De fat* and “Tex’ McDonald are hillin' •fools.'’ Tulsa may have its home run slugger and a couple otliPr clubs may have one Individual who can clout the ball bettpr than any of his teammates, but show u* a team in this man’s league that can boast of a quarter of bludgeon wielders like Omaha's got. Then there's Kred Wilder, catcher. Now Kred Is no vveaklin' when it cornea to batting, lit can hit and whip the old pellet down to second in fine style. Go out to the park and see >m per form and then judge for yourself. “Bob” Roper Joins King Ak’s Crowd • . i "Rdi" Roper, who will swac punch es with •’Tiny" Herman at tht Audi torium Friday evening, arrived in Omaha Monday and immediately bought a 1323 membership card in Ak Sar-Ben. "In all my travels 1 have never sesn anything to equal the Ak Sar Ben d"n show." ha declared.

Championship Bout Looms Up as Kilbane Gets Reinstated New York. April 21.—AII obstacles i In the path of tlu* world’s feather- 1 weight boxing championship match , between Johnny Kilbane, American j holder of the title, arid Kugene C’riqul of France, Ktiropean champion, at the Polo grounds on June 2, have been eliminated. Matchmaker Tom o’ltioukr announced tonight after the New York state Athletic commission had granted a license to Kilbane. Kilbane and C’riqul. O'Hourke Added, both have signed nil agree ment culling for the winner of the bout to tight Johnny Dundee of New York, within three months. This, he said, was accepted by ilio commission mm an alternative to its stipulation that Kilbane accept Dundee’s long standing challenge before boxing the Kmu hninii Dundee \va < declared to have agreed to this ai l alignment The Action of the newly created li cense committee of the elate coimnis •Ion in granting a license to Kllbane amounted 10 rc.-dorlng in thin ntate recognition of the Clevelander a** world's title-holder In the t^r* pound divlnion. Though ho was not ofllclally under local jurisdiction, William Mill doon, chairman of the commission de clared Kilbane's title vacated here nearly a year ago after the latter ig noted Dundee* challenge fur a title bout, Dundee wan declared the feath ri weight champion when hr defeat ml Johnny Crush, an Englishman, at Kl» hot* field. O lCourkr said he hoped to stag* a bout between Dundee and the winner of the Kllbane lTh|Ul match about tin middle of :.b‘pteuib< i at tho Dolt* grounds. < i The earth around palma and ferns will keep sweet and th» soil w VI o* lightened, if ruffe* u^uid* are work ed fnto it occasionally. Will Reinstate Von Elm to Golf Circles New York. April 24.—The execu tive committee of the t.'nited Hfates Golf association to il a y announced that the suspen sion of George von Kirn of Salt Lake (': t y former T r a nsmisaissippi and Pacific north west champion, would lie terminat- , (•d September 1. thus permitting him to partici pate in the na t i o n a I amateur ! tournament Sep- ; tember 10 to 15 at Chicago. Von Kim was suspended indefinite, ly by the United States Golf associa tion last August. No offic ial explana tion was yiade at the time, hut it was understood his connection with a sporting goods firm in violation of the association's amateur regulations was reported f »r th»* action. The* executive committee's decision, which amounted to fixing a year's exile from amateur championship competition as punishment for Von Kirn's offense, was reached after a reconsideration of the facts. Recently, it was understood, golf authorities in the far west. including A. S Kerry, president of the Pacific Northwest Golf association, brought pressure to bear upon the United States Gof 1 association in an effort to have Von Kim reinstated. No an nounc em* nt. however, was made as to whether these efforts influenced the executive committees action. While tlie date for expiration of his "sentence" will enable Von Kirn to take part in the national smateur title event, it will not permit him to engage in cither of the two major sectional championships in which he has !>een victorious, the Pacific Northwest ti tle event at .Seattle arid the Transmis* sissippi championship at Minneapolis, both scheduled for July.

Pal .Moore Pose* to Genaro. By l nheryat Service. Chicago. April 24.—Pal Moore, of Memphis, lost to Frankie Genaro, American flyweight champion, in the •-.xth round by a foul at the Coliseum here last night. After a lively mixup in the center '•f the ring. Moore landed a stiff up percut in the stomach. He stepped up to repeat the blow and as he s arted the punch Genaro dove In with a flying left jab, pulling both feet several inchea off the canvass. Moore's uppercut landed solidly in •he groin and the 1;11’• champion doubled up like a jackknife, but d.d not lose his feet. The foul was unintended. Bee Want Ads produce results. t FRST he settled down to Mozart. Now he’s settled down to Mozart Favorita —but you may like one of the other sizes better. Mozart is just the same mild, fragrant cigar in all five sizes. Try Mozart—an uncommonly mild cigar of Havana fragrance -beautifully made.
