He now tells you that at least four world’s titles will change hands during 1924. It Is not a were guess. It is based on an analysis of the different cham pions, of their work during the past year. More, it is based on the contenders In the different divisions. In four pugilistic divisions there are at this time more promising con tenders for the title than at any other period in recent years. Here are the present world's cham pion?: Heaywelght, Jack Dempsey. Light-heavyweight. Mike McTIgue. Middleweight, Harry Greb. Welterweight, Mickey Walker. Lightweight, Benny Leonard. ■Junior lightweight, Johnny Dundee. Bantamweight, Joe Lynch. Flyweight, Pancho Villa. * What Your of these titleholders do you think will lose their titles in the * next 12 months. The writer rarely wages on a box ing contest, then nothing more im portant than a cigar. He couldn't resist Uie temptation, however, of betting a hat with the crafty Leo P. Flynn, manager of many fighters, that I>arry Estrldge, the “Harlem Hurricane." would de feat Frank Carbone at the Common wealth Club. The writer- wins the hat. Estrldge took the decision over Car bone, veteran of many battles, after aj lively 12-round contest. * Estridge had Carbone in a bad way In the second round. Mho is Estridge? Estrldge is a colored boy, a former amateur. The writer thinks he is one of the most promising boxers he lias Men in a long time. Estridge is in a division that wet ronies it newcomer of ability, the mid dleweiglit division. He woighs 154 pounds. He is a terrific hitter with his left liar a potential champion ship contender, white or black. .The elastic Harry Greb. once nick •'ftanied by this writer to Grebs great dissatisfaction. "The Pittsburgh Windmill." is I lie middlew eight chain pton of the world. rGr#h won his title from Johnny Wil son, the Italian. Since he lost the title, 5511800, who was regarded as a poor fighter while champion, has be items a formidable ring man. As champion. Wilson. jealously protecting his title, did little fighting. He met only mediocre opponents. Now that he lias nothing to protect Wil son is fighting as often as he can get engagements, Ijas improved greatly. A new middleweight, another for mer amateur, said to be moat, promis ing, is Paul Berlenbaek, handled by Old llun llickcy, boxing instructor of the. New York Athletic club. Berlenbaek shows well in a gym nasium. If Berleiibuck can show as well in the ring us he does In the gym he may become a championship contender along with KstMdge. Other pugilistic divisions would wel come new faces, new blood There are Tew lightweights of any promise The heavyweights are all known quantities. 'Inc best divisions in the pugilistic world in point of population, and quality, seem to lie the two divisions of recent manufacture. These are the light heavyweight division and the Junior lightweight division, the former with a dozen good fighters ns members, and the latter with a score of promising laris. 'Ihten hundred tnousaud people attended the football games played by Y'ale this sqoson. It Is esti mated that $400,000 was received at •h* gate. Ice Not Thick Enough for Blades ACCORDING to announcement made this morning hy Ira Jones, city recreational direc tor, the ire on the ponds and lakes in this vicinity is not safe enough to skate on. The Ice is two Inches thick on the ponds and must be four inches thick before it is safe enough for tile steel blade performers, accord ing to Mr. Jones, \ Announcement- will be made through the columns of The Omaha Bee when the Ire is safe for th'* skaters. Vets Announce Complete Fight Card for Friday Battling Monroe Matched with Billy Emke, St. Paul Battler, in Semi*Windup— Morris Meets Watson. The complete card for the fight show which will be given at the Oma ha Auditorium Friday night by the Theodore Roosevelt post of the Amer ican Legion was announced last night. The card will be as follows: Main Event—Joe Lynch, bantam weight champion of the world, against Earl McArthur of Sioux City, 10 rounds. - Semi-Windup — Battling Monroe, Omaha, against Billy Emke, St. Paul, 10 rounds. Second Preliminary—Eddie Morris, Sioux City, against One-Step Watson, Omaha, six rounds. First Preliminary—Ace Hudklns. Lincoln,, against Jack Lawrence, Omaha, six rounds. Eddie Morris, Sioux City's newest candidate for welterweight honors. Is likely to prove a big attraction for the Omaha fight. Morris, they say in Sioux City, is a coming champion. He is a solid puncher and a good boxer and likes to use the hammer and tongs style of fighting. He re cently gave A1 Van Ryan of St. Paul a trimming In a flg^it at Sioux City and Omahans who witnessed the brawl say It was one of the fastest, most Interesting fights they had ever seen. * It was hoped to match Ace Hud kins. the tough Lincoln lightweight, with Young Bige of Omaha, but Bige felt that he wasn't tn good enough condition to take on Hudklns, so Jack Lawrence was signed up. As is befitting a match In which a world's champion takes part, indica tions are that a record-breaking number of customers will witness the Friday night show. The advance sale is proceeding at a record clip, ^ith Omaha and Sioux City fans fighting for the choice locations. A special train is coming down frorr< Sioux City the day of the fight and the fans from up the river all want ringside seats. It Is believed that more than 500 will come from Sioux City for the engagement. Charles Franke, manager of the Auditorium, said yes terday the advance sale and reserva tions indicated the capacity of the house would he taxed, and that the largest fight crowd of the season would he Inside the doors of the Au ditorium Friday night. Emke, the St. Paul battler who will meet Monroe In the semi windup, is highly touted by fistic experts. Emke has victories over Carl Augustine and Chuck I-anibers, and h» also lias a draw with Jimmy Delaney, who is considered quite a hoy in the light heavyweight division. The llrst battle tor the middle weight championship of America took place In California on April 13. 1467. It was a bare knuckle scrap, be tween Tom Chandler and "Dooney” Harris. Miss Florence Sutton of I,os \n geles, alater of Mrs. May Sutton Bundy, former national women's ten nis champion, has been employed as a tennis professional by the Women's National Golf and Tennis club, to be opened at Glenhead, L.

Ben brook. Wells, Schulz and Heston. All these players were developed by Coach "Hurry Up” Yost. By fanning Kit men in 40 games during the 1923 season, Walter John son led the American league In strikeouts for the fourteenth time In his career. Kdward Pay Ion Weston, the veter an walker, covered a distance of J.326 miles from Portland, Me., to Chicago, III., In 26 days. He also walked from New York to San ' Francisco, a dls lance of 3.495 miles, lit 104 days. 7 hours, and returned, walking 3,300 mile* in less than 77 days.

S. by Dollar Sign in 1923 Plan Bigger Attacks Next Year EW YORK, Dec. 31.—Invasion of America’s fistic realms by foreign boxers, after set ting a new high market in 19S3, promises to estab lish another rec ord In the new year. Prospects of profitable matches in this country have attracted ambitious talent from Europe and South America, the latter sending two formidable candidates for honors in Lula An gel Firpo, Argentine heavyweight, and Luis Vicentini, Chilean light weight. Two European champions already arc in this country seek ing laurels, a third Is due early in January, while others have come in search of ring prominence, despite lack of titles. Within the last few weeks two titlehohling Britishers arrived— Roland Todd, European middle weight champion, and Harry Ma son, wearer of the European light weight belt. Todd was defeated by Tommy Loughran, Philadelphia light heavyweight, in his debut here, largely because of handicap* In weight, height and reach. Ma son has yet to show his fistic wares. Ermino Spalla of Italy, European heavyweight champion, will join the invading ranks within a fortnight when he arrives to prepare for a match with Gene Tunney, Amer ican light heavyweight champion, slated for February 1. A fourth European champion, Edouard Mascart of France, feath erweight tltleholder, may come here in the spring to seek a match with Johnny Dundee, the Itallan-Amer ican, who wrested the feather weight laurel* last summer from another Frenchman, Eugene Crtqal. Georges Carpentier has another prospective fistic venture in Amer ica early In 1924 to meet leading American light heavyweights, while Battling Slkl, Senegalese conqueror of Georges, already is touring this country.

This city Is Davenport. la., a former Three Eye league hotbed. With the addition of Davenport to the list, four cities are now In the running for the orphans of Sioux City. These four cities are Lincoln. Colorado Springs, Muskogee, Ok la , and Davenport. The Western loop committee, Pres ident Al Tearney, Lee Keyser. presi dent of the Des Moines club and Owner Crawford of Tulsa will meet soon to'decide on a location for the Packer franchise. Before Davenport could enter ihe Western league a waiver would have to be secured from the Mississippi Valley league, whose Jurisdiction ex tends over Davenport because the city Is Within ten miles of Rock Is land, a M. V. loop member. Lack of a suitable park or location for one. however. Is considered the greatest drawback. "We haven't given up yet." comes the cry from Muskogee, Okla. If Muskogee Is going to land In the higher class circuit. Western league officials must take a hand lt| getting the Western association tt tie to th« Muskogco territory re moved. While rumors are flying thick and fast about the new location of the Sioux City franchise, don’t be sur prised if iho announcement is made that the club will remain In the Tack et town for another season.

Hoppe has been practicing the three-cushion eamo assiduously of late, it is said. Washington on Scene of Game Los Angeles, Dec. 31.—The Uni versitv of Washington football squad, consisting of 29 players w.th several officials and coaches, arrived here to day for the grid game tomorrow with the Navy eleven at the Rose bowl. Coach Ragshaw planned a light workout In the afternoon on the Rose bowl turf and then rest until game time. The Huskies are said to be imbued with confidence of their abil.ty to turn back the Navy defeated, and backing their assertions, point out that the Navy is rated as the eleventh strongest team in the east, while the Huskies' rating in the west is second. It is believed that Washington w,!l not rely on an aerial game, but rather on line plunging. Zlel, Tesreau and Wilson are expected to play an Im portant part in this department. George Washington university of Washington, D. C„ football team boasts a novelty at quarterbacks. G. and J. McLane are twins and it is a puxsle at times to ascertain which is calling signals. DEMPSEY AND BEN LEONARD SEEM TO HAVE THEIR TITLES SEWED UP FOR ANOTHER YEAR Return Bout Between Dempsey and Luis Angel I irpo in Deck for Summer, While Mickey Walker Will find Plenty of Material to Work on Should He Decide to Act Like a Champion. HE world s Infant.' otherwise the year Sr A- D- 1924- wil’ I be born at midnight I tonight under aus pices that give promise of whole sale jugglery or flstlcuts. The world's champion ships now held In more or less fancied security, only two seem certain to be retained when the new year takes Its curtain call. The ex ceptlons are the heavyweight and the lightweight championships, held re spectively by Jack Dempsey and Benny Leonard. Dempsey will step out to another frolic with Luis Flrpo during the outdoor season, but the affair should mean less than nothing. It probably will be one of those twice told tales with Dempsey winning even more de cisively than before. It Is altogether likely that Dempsey will be champion In 1925. Leonard Is even more supreme In his division. He had one plausible challenger In 1923, Lew Tendler, but the latter was slapped silly by Benjamin last summer in such off hand style as to Indicate that the thing can be done at will. The rest of the field is somewhere in the back stretch. Of the remaining champions. Mike McTigue. light heavyweight; Harry Greb, middleweight: Johnny Dundee, featherweight, and Joe Lynch, bantamweight, are most likely to pass away. McTigue really doesn't be long at all. and will be knocked out by the first good man he Is persuaded to meet. The most difficult thing about beating McTigue is getting him into the ring. Greb has given unmistakable signs of retrogression since outpointing Johnny Wilson for the middle-weight title during the late outdoor season and may not survive the year as champion. Wilson himself might even be the man to displace Harry, since the former champion has shown vastly improved form. Dundee appears to be pase cham pion also. Right now there is no im-, mediate successor in sight, but sgej beats them ail. Dundee also holds the 130-pound title, meaning little, and that may be wafted when he next steps Into the ring with Jack Bern stein. Mickey Walker, welterweight cham pion, is two-handed and cautious. He is under suspension here for failure to defend the title, but when he does step out he prabably will show the boys how achampionshlp should be de fended. He happens to head a division that bristles with class and anything may happen. Among the flyweights. Rancho Villa is king by virtue of his knockout of Jimmy Wilde. The Filipiifc. however, thrice has been outpointed by Frankie Genaro. America titleholder. and thus far has declined to further relations with the latter. The loss of a title here is quit* possible. Joe Lynch is always In danger be cause if his willingness to take chances and swap wallops. East-West Teams Heady for Battk V Pasadena, Cal,, Dec. 31—The foot, ball teams of the naval academy and the Unieislty of Washington, which will attempt to settle their gridiroB argument here tomorrow went int« their final workouts today, each figuratively speaking, with one ey« on the ball and the other on the sky The squad from Seattle appeared t« get more satisfaction out of their meteorology than did the middies Clouds hung over the run and th» Seattle heavyweights opined that / little rain would not do them anj harm, while It might slow up th nimble feet of the hornplpers from Annapolis. The ‘oldest inhabitant, however merely sneered when he looked a the sky and calculated that it wai "nothing but a high fog " Both teams looked to be in th* best of shape. The coming admirals did their practicing shortly after noor and were followed on the Rose Bow gridiron by the Huskies Sportingly Inclined statisticiahs and mathematicians are fluctuating be tw een a desire to make the Washing ton boys three to two favorites and a disposition to permit the two teams to take 1*9 field with an even break. These pre game estimates say it all depends on whether Coach Folwel! has the top strength of his sea going squad with him. Strihling Ready for Bout. New York. Dec. 31.—Young Strib ling of Macon, Ga.. who gave Cham pion McTigue a merry time of It some months ago, wil! finish ** training at Summit, N. J.. today, for his 12-rour.d bout with Dare Rosen burg at Newark, tomorrow afternoon. It will be Striblir.g's first appearance in the metropolitan district. His mother, "Ma" Stribling, will have a ringside seat and "Pa" Strib ling and a brother will be his chief seconds. One of the first statements credited to George Sisier, new manager of the Browns, was his intention to start an intensive educations! campaign with the players the moment they land in the training camp. James McVajr, veteran fighter, i* making arrangements to open a box ing si bool at Newton, and Des Moines. f Omaha Ski Club Plans Big Hike KEAT glee holds sway over at I he Omaha Y. M. < . A. today.

To develop greater courage and self-reliance. To exercise initiative and resource fulness. To seek quality and value rather than mere price in the purchases I make. In justice to myself to take a demonstra tion in a new Studebaker before buying an automobile. In every thing I undertake, to think of the future and not only of today. To guard my health bv spending as much time as possible in the open air and by paying proper attention to diet. Th°se things I will do in 1924.
