Buffaloes Back at Home Again Herd to Split Up for the Usual Winter Avocations. By RALPH WAGNER. Barney Burch and his fourth-place Omaha Buffaloes arrived in town last flight from Tulsa, where the herd closed the Western league season by handing the Tulsa Oilers a double header defeat, thereby putting the 1922 champs out of the Western league race for good. With the season history, memberB of the Omaha team will scatter to all corners of the United States. Several of the Buffaloes will grace Omaha with their presence long enough to take In the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival and other points of interest. They will play at Dunlap later in the week. With the exception of George Boeh ler and, perhaps, Johnny Kerr, the entire 1923 lineup will report for spring training at Corslciana, Tex. Burch informed the little ol' world last night that he had released Frank Wetzel, outfielder. Wetzel was made a free agent by Burch. Now Frank can play any place he wants to. Wet zel left last night for Kansas, where he will visit relatives before leaving for the Pacific coast. Reports circulated about the burg that Ed Konetchy, manager, would not be with the Buffaloes next season, were denied by Barney Burch. Konet chy will leave tonight for Wisconsin, where he will visit relatives before Joining bis wife in St. Douis. Ed peddles Insurance during the off sea son. Some Players Go to work. George Hale, catcher by profession; Nick Cullop, fly-chaser, pitcher and an all-around good scout, and Don Brown, outfielder, will make their home in Omaha this winter. They ex pect to engage in some light occupa tion, probably will work for the elec tric light company. Joe Bonowitz, one of the best lit tle outfielders in the league, is go ing to work in Omaha, while Hans (Cowboy) Reis, club secretary and press agent, is looking for a job. Johnny Kerr, shortstop, is going to San Francisco. Kerr belongs to Detroit and hopes to make good "up there” next spring. Red Wilder, catcher, is going back to Massachu setts where - he expects to sell ban anas. Red says they have plenty bananas in his home town. Byron Speece, pitcher, leaves soon with Mrs. Speece and the little Speeces for their home in West Ba den, Ind. Buckshot May, another chucker, will go to Maricopa, Cal., to spend the winter. Jimmy Wilcox, third baseman, will go to his home in Oakdale, Pa. Jim my expects to be back next spring, which is good news. LaFrlsco Thompson, second base man, and George Boehler, pitcher, left the team at Tulsa. Thompson went to St. Louis and Boehler to his home at Lawrenceburg, Ind. Oris Lee, outfielder, leaves for Clarkfield, Minn., soon. Harry Lee, another pitcher, is in ^Cnaha, where his young son is ill. ^lRichard O'Connor, outfielder, will leave soon for Buffalo, N. Y., and other points east. Richard expects to be back next sprin'g unless he in jures his shoulder again. While the Buffalo ball players are scattering to various sections of the country. Owner Barney Burch will remain in Omaha counting the shek els that he didn’t take in at the gate this season. So, the Western league has ended. Omaha started out like a sure pen nant winner. It didn't finish so good. Wait until next season! Renault a Coming Box Fighter; May K. 0. Firpo Jack Renault, once Jack Dempsey's sparring partner, Is beginning to as sume promising attitudes. Few figured he had any great chance against George Godfrey, the giant Ethiopian, but he knocked God frey out. His next move was to win a brief battle from Fred Fulton on a fouR His latest achievement was to knock out Herman, another promising can didate of the rough-and-ready type with a displacement of 220 pounds. There is some gossip to the effect . that Renault will be Firpo's next op ponent In Buenos Ayres. If this is trufa Euis Angel might Just as well not take the match too lightly. Renault is a hotter boxer than Firpo, and Renault can hit. And if Firpo is beaten upon home fields there will be no more million dollar Dempsey gates. Firpo must? still recall the fact that he is one of the poorest defensive fighters in the ring. He has fine cour age and he can hit, but he knows nothing whatsoever about protecting himself from a hostile attack. Renault isn’t another Dempsey, but he is out beyond Willard, Brennan end others that the South American bowled over. Firpo's future depends largely upon his willingness to train in the right way, to learn the right things and his ability to soak up Instruction. 11c is still an unfinished product with great possibilities. Curtis Aggies Win Over Maxwell High Curtis, Neb., Oct. 1.—Playing « steady, well balanced game the CnrtlH Aggies opened the football season here Friday by defeating ^tho Maxwell High sehool team, Ml to 0. Twentv four players were used by Coach Thomas in driving to a string of light toui hdown*. The visitors played a strong de fcnslve game throughout and it was only the hard driving of the Aggies that netted the large seor Bobbin, Adams, H. Nicolai. Nordriuiit and Razee showed the offensive strength for the Aggies while Captain Hlner, center, and Wymore, tackle, proved stone walls on defense. Next Friday the Aggies will play the Holdtege High echoed at Holdrege. According to press report* the Aggies will enter tills game badly outweighed. Huskers Working for fllini Game « -1 Practice Line Plunges and End Runs to Use at Urbans. Lincoln, Oct. 1.—Most of the effort .of Monday's practice for the Husker football team was devoted to develop Ing the line. With Rhodes and Mc Allister on the wings, Bassett and Weir at tackle, Berqulst and Ogden at guards and Hutchinson at center, the second string line with a one man backfield, charged and charged and charged. And this One-man backfl^jd was* slipping through too frequently. Henry Schulte shouted himself hoarse before the results began to show. George Randolph got away twice to a touchdowp. While the line was getting the Intensive workout, there were several combinations of backs running signals. Nathan C. Holman, Jr., returned Monday from Urbana, where he saw the Illinois varsity drub the fresh men, 19 to 6, Saturday. Ho was In conference with Coaches Dawson and Frank. The freshmen tvere being drilled on the plays of the Ullnl Mon day and they will probably be sent against the varsity Tuesday. Mr. Holman brought back a copy of the student publication at Illinois, which gave a detailed account of the game. Halfback Grange ripped off several long gains, but he was soon replaced. "It was the first time In a long while that I have seen the wide, sweeping end runs used. This man Grange is dangerous when he starts thpt route,” Holman said. The first string Ullnl were unable to do much to the first year line at the start, but they soon wore It down and were making consistent gains when the game closed, and that in spite of the fact that the first string ers were all relieved before the first half had closed. Mr. Holman explained the reason the varsity was unable to penetrate the fresh line: "Entirely too big,” he said. In the story of the game, the writer stated that it proved three things: that Illini was possessed of a fairly dependable line and good backfield. but is woefully short on substitutes. The Huskers leave for Urbana Thursday afternoon. That leaves Tuesday and Wednesday as the last chance to prepare. It 1s doubtful whether Coach Dawson will pick the squad to make the trip until the prac tice has closed Wednesday. He indi cated Monday morning that upon the last three days’ work would depend his selection. First Round Goes to Former Champ Rye, N. Y., Oct. 1.—Miss Alexa Stirling, former national champion, non the qualifying round of the women's national golf championship at the Westchester-Biltmore Coun try club today, with a brilliant 44-40 —84 for the 18 holes. Miss Glenna Collitt, the defending champion, took 47-42—89. Mrs. Caleb F. Fox of Philadelphia was unable to play because of a broken toe suffered last week. Tt was the first tournament she has missed In 25 years. Rye, N. Y., Oct. 1.—Despite a strong wind that blew across the links throughout the day, exceptionally low scores were made In the qualify ing round for the women’s national golf championship, scores of 95 being necessary to get within the select 32 that will start tomorrow In match play for the title. On the last four holes of the out ward strip and all along the Incom ing nine Miss Stirling had the wind defeated. Atiss Collett was excellent off the tee and on the green hut her Irons were poor. Her chip shots, especial ly. were weak. Miss Edith Cummings attributed her 89 to the dainty race horseshoe carried in her golf bag. At the outset of the round Joe Morgan, the old caddie with the sun wrinkled face, turned' Miss Cummings' golf hag on end to get balls and out came the horseshoe. Morgan suggested that a clover leaf or perhaps a rab bit foot would ease the losd but Miss Cummings persisted in the horse shoe and qualified with an 89. As a result of the draw, Miss Stirl ing tomorrow will meet Miss Alar jorie Anable, of Montreal. Other pair ings in the first round Include: Alisa Bernice Wall, Oshkosh, Wls , agninst Alisa Miriam Burns, Kansas City. ATrs. Alelvin Jones, Chicago, against Miss K. Gorman, Parkers burg, W. Va. Miss Bessie Kenn, Poland Springs, Me., against Mrs. Dorothy,Carnubell Hurd, Morion, Pa. Miss Florence Halloran, Salt Lake City, against Airs. H. Biumenthal, New York. Alias Halloran qualified with a 93. In the lower half.

HECAW«IX AROSE, FiC*m«Afc mm>. e times FKom WARP kmoocDcmuRC < (( OXFIDEXCE,” wrote Emer son, "comes froiT^ having done the thing before.” Vet this Is not always the case. Take, for instance, Luis Firpo. Perhaps the big South American knew that he could absorb terrific punishment and still carry on. But he had never proven it in any ring encounter pre vious to the Dempsey battle. In this respect he was entirely different from other famous heavyweights of the past, champions and challengers. . Bumping< into knockdown after knockdown was a new experience for the self-confident “Bull of the Pam pas.” But he met the shocking sen sation with rare "composure a la min ute.” Instead of becoming panicky and terror- stricken, Firpo rose to the occasion with migniflcent courage. Most of the former heavyweight champions, all great fighters In fact, have proven to themselves their abil ity to “take It" before reaching the top. When Jim Jeffries was a tyro he took many a hard wallop. Joe Choynskl, Jeffries explained once, dealt "him the hardest blow he ever received. Choynskl, although a light heavyweight, was a terrific hitter. He once knocked out Jack Johnson. Jeffrleg met Choynski long before he became champion. Jeff also weath ered severe glove gales In long battles with Gus Ruhlin and Tom Sharkey. That was -why Jeffries, stilt a com parative beginner, went Into the ring confident he could whip the murder ous hitting Bob Fitzsimmons and win the championship. Jeffries had "done the thing before." Fitz's hard est wallops shook him tip. but they didn't make him shake with the palsy of fear and panic. Fitzsimmons had been through many a terrific fight, had been knocked down and rendered dizzy countless times before he became champion of the world. Peter Maher almost knocked out Fitz in the third round of their battle at New Or leans. A terrific blow on the * jaw hung Fitz over the ropes and only the nimble wits of a friend saved him from defpat. This supporter ex traordinary leaned over and cracked the gong with his cane, sending the men to their corners before the regu lation three minutes. Fitzsimmons knew that he could deliver and take heavy blows. That is why he shook his head encourag Ingly to his wife and smiled through his blood-smeared features when Cor bett had him down for the count in their Carson battle. He whipped Corbett In the 14th after many had given him up for a beaten man in the sixth. Jim Corbett, Jack Johnson and Jack Dempsey engaged in many des perato fights before winning the heavyweight crown. They knew what it required to “take it" and still carry on grimly and patiently to victory or at least to the end of the bout. Cor bett won a savage finish fight on a barge with Choynski, in which the fortunes of combat drifted first to one and then the other. Jack John son had scores of tough fights in which he bumped Into knockdowns from fierce wallops. John McGraw Managerial Wizard By FREDERICK G. LIEB. HE strongest player on the Giants is the rather portly (/i steel-grey veteran of matiy diamond battles, who sit# quietly on the New York National’s bench in neat citizen attire. We refer to John Joseph McGraw, the managerial wizard of the national game. Jl| We think we are not unfair to Huggins when we w" say that for the third time in three years he will be opposed to the foremost general in the game's history. Miller Is a splendid tacMcian; he knows baseball thoroughly: he has worked his pitchers in splendid ro tation this season, but he hasn't the dynamic person ality that characterizes the work of McGraw. The "Little Napoleon" of the Giants is a born leader. This is McGraw's ninth National league pennant. It puts him three above the record of ^jiy other big league manager. Connie Mack is McGraw’s nearest rival, with six championships. Mack and McGraw now are tied with three world's ehatnpionshipe. Victory this October will give Mcuraw a new reeoru. McGraw dictated every play In the last two world's scries. There are people who believe that McGraw stamps out the Initiative of his play ers, and there were a lot of puns during the last two world's series about the Giants getting kinks in their necks from looking over to the New York dugout. But that is Me Graw's system, and In 21 seasons, he has had nine firsts, eight runner-ups and only one second division team... However, with al\ his baseball brains. McGraw's strategy is of no avail if the men under him are not capable of carrying out his plans. B* tween the clean-cut world's series victory of 1905 and the first victory over the Yankees In 1921, McGraw fought In four world's series In which h« had to be content with the loser's share. Great manager that McGraw Is. he couldn't play the outfield In 1912 when Snodgrass made his Inglorious and fatal muff, nor direct Zimmer man's intelligence in 1917 when Heine ch sed Kddie Collins over the plate with Chicago's winning run. In some respects. McGraw s pen nant victory this season Is one of his most noteworthy achievements. He had Oroh and Bancroft out for week; Snyder and Stengel both slowed up on him. while the pitching staff tottered during the last two months of the race, but McGraw kept his outfit in first place Hoggins Is In far better health tills season than he was a year ago, when the red hot race with the Browns and dissension on his own team under mined the little fellow s constitution. There is better feeling between Huggins and his players this year than in the other two world’s series In which the Yanks met thn Giants. Nerves have not been frayed In a hot fight to the wire and Yankee playera also appreciate that Huggins now has 100 per cent baching behind him. Muring the debacle of last October. In which the Yanks were swept off tMolr feet In four successive game*, there was open insubordination In the Yankee ramp. Kspeetnlly did this rrop out In the fiftli game, when Huggins sent orders to Bush to walk Young, and take a chance on Kelly. In his rage, Bush drove the ball right through Kelly's groove, the Giant first sacker lashing It out for the hit which broke up the game and clinch ed the series for the Giants.

Oct. 1. — Illinois faces Nebraska next Saturday on Illinois field and the great question here is: lias Coach Zuppke two tackles Who can stop the drives of the experienced Oornhttsker backs? Zup has been working all week on the tacklo problem and four candid ates ape showing best. Only one, Dick Wagner, has had experience In Big 10 company. He won his letter last year. Big Dick Hall Is being used consist ently and Is showing up fairly well. One thing has been noticed about the huge lineman. That Is that ho can play a good game of football the m!n ute somebody gets him mad. I'ntll that time ho Is like a big, good ma tured ox and can be pushed from one side of the field to the other. Zuppke declares that although the Hogans port lad doesn’t show up good In prac tlce, he has hopes that he will be good In a game. Hall will probably start against Nebraska. Chuck Brown of rissna Bark, 111 . will be the other tackle to start the Nebraska contest. Brown Is a green man with lots of pepper and fight lie exhibits some raw edges In scrim mages and Zup Is trying to pound more football Into his head. Margol Is the other promising candidate who will g#t a chance against the Corn huskers, Margolla Is handicapped hy his lack "f experience hut Is mighty good timber. The sale of tickets for the tmltle with the ftflHsourl Valley champs bn surpassed all expectations, but there will he pasteboards available even at the last minute. koarns Joins Jack Dempsey Dos Angeles, Cal., Oct. 1.—Jack Kearns, manager for Jack Dempsey, lias Joined the heavyweight champion nt the latter’s home.

Neb., Sept. 30.—The Peru Bobcats started the season with a win from Maryville Normal by a score of 14 to 7. The game was close and hard fought. To the last mo ment the crowd was tense. Although Peru made nine first dow-ns to Maryville’s five, the Missourians put up a game fight: their open play In the last moments of play almost made the game a tie. . Coarh Graf's Peruvians started off with a rush, making six first downs the first half and holding Maryville to none. The hall was within strik ing distance a number of times and Captain Bitzle missed two drop kicks. In the last minutes of the half Del zell passed to Edie. the speedy half back. He grabbed the short pas* and with Buislng for interference raced 30 yards for a touchdown. Bitzle kicked goal. In the third quarter Maryville re ceived and lost 10 yards on three downs. Buislng made a pretty re turn. After a spries of fumbles, Peru gained possession of the ball on the 25-yard line. Line plunges cov ered 10 yards. Then Delzell shot a 15-yard pase to Frary over the goal line. Bitzie kicked goal. Thirty yards of penalties and a bad pass for a punt gave the Missourians the ball on Peru's 12-yard line. A fake buck netted first down. It took four downs to make the next two yards, but they made them and kicked goal. At that time the fourth period was half over. Mary ville opened with a constant forward rasa attack. The attack was par tially successful and always danger ous. t The Peru line played good foot ball for early season. Milam and Lrundson at tackles and Gilkeson end Frary at ends did especially well. M. Bell and Welmer showed up to advantage. In the backfleld, Cap tain Bitzle did some hard plugging. | as did Buislng, a freshman from Falls City. F. Bell's tackling and Edie's speed were valuable assets in the Perji victory. The coach expects the team to be running much more smoothly against Tarkio next Friday. Belzell and Sandberg look like fix tures at quarter. And they will now be given first call at all practices.

Teams from several cavalry posts are scheduled to mee* in the center of the oval to vie for honors in one of the moat thrilling sports known to America. Cavalry detachments from Fort Knelling, Minn., Fort Des Moines, la.. Fort Ijeavenworth, Kan., and other posts within the Seventh Army corps area, will be represented. The field is said to be in very good shape after working that has been given it dur ing the past three weeks. Throughout the race meeting scrap ers, rollers, mowers and other necea sary machinery was at work smooth ing the ground and getting it in con dition for the players. The ground had to be smooth, the stubble had to be cut away and many things had to be done for the safety of the riders. For unlike many other sports, there is always a chance of taking a se rious spill in a polo game. The horses run at top speed most of the time and a stumble may be fatal to both ride rand mount. Many troops have gathered In Oma ha now. The army field day is to be held at the Ak-Sar-Ben field Tues day. Horses and men will take equal parts in the events of that day. Red Dog, Charlie Horse and Marshal Ney, three horses who have won reputa tions for their Jumping abilities, are already here and will take part in the festivities. Whisky, said to be the most Intelligent horse in the American army, is expected to arrive from his Fort Sneillng home in time to show his tricks. Captain Yuditsky of the Fourteenth Cavalry has reached Omaha with his men, headquarters troop, and will give demonstrations of what bareback riding is.

Oct. 1— It took Georges Carpentier, the French fighter, just about 20 seconds tonight to put the quietus on the championship aspira tions of Joe Beckett, who holds the heavyweight title in Great Britain. Carpentier used both lefts and rights in a brief series of exchanges, and Beckett remained on the floor for the final count. The two men received a great ova tion when they entered the ring for their 20-round bout, and for a reel ing moment Beckett was wreathed in smile*. His supporters, however, could hardly have witnessed a speed ier or greater disappointment than awaited them. Beckett led with a light left to h.s opponents jaw, but there was power in the blow and Carpentier shot over a left, followed by a right to Beckett’s jaw with terrible force, and Beckett went down for a count of five. The Englishman got to his fett rather groggy, and the Frenchman dashed in and with right and left beat Beckett down again near the ropes, falling on top of h:m. On rising. Carpentier stood back. Beck ett gripped the bottom rope in an ef fort to pull himself to his feet, but he was so badly spent that apparent ly he had lost all sense of what was going on, and before the count had been completed his seconds threw in the towel and thus ended one of the quickest and most sensational of heavyweight contests. After the fight Carpentier said if "as all over so quickly that there w ts nothing to talk about. Askel about his future plans, he replied: t am ff to America next month and if 1 le-at Tom Gibbons I expect to-meet Dempsey again. I hope so. indeed.” Mr. McElwyn Takes Kentucky Feature Lexincton.
