LINKS WILL DO THEIR SPRING TRAINING AT TEXARKANA, ARK.; TO ENLARGE LANDIS GRANDSTAND Official Transfer of Lincoln State League Territory Will Be Made This Week—Wakefield Plans Big Things for Second Nebraska State League Town. ■ . V By Associated Press. INCOLN, Feb. IS.— A ^ The final chapter in W /if (_W J the story of Lin ia-lrlw coln'3 entrance into y, the Western League fold will be written if b. here this week-end. ft F* when Howard Jf Wakefield, who will ("35, V D> have charge of the knhX ZjW Capital City arrives from Chi I cago to enter into j La J-t formal transfer for *|nlr Landis Field, the lo • C>'/ cal ball plant. An association of Lincoln boosters re cently subscribed *20,000 to purchase the field in order to insure Western beague ball for Lincoln next summer. Lincoln has been out of the West ern League loop since the spring of 1918, when the capital city club was transferred to Sioux City. The campaign to revive Western league ball here has been In pro gress nearly two months, the local boosters meeting some difficulty all along the line, the list being hi se curing the Lincoln territory from the Nebraska state league, ol which this city was a member during the last two seasons. An agreement was finally reached between the two circuits, for the pur thase of tho Lincoln territory for * *1,500, the holders of the Lincoln fran chise in the state loop excepted from the profits. According to President “Hick” Grotte. of Omaha, head of the state league, the *1,500 will be placed in the treasury for use in prop aganda work on behalf of a new eight-club circuit including Sioux City tnd two South Dakota towns. Howard Wakefield, the new Lin coln owner, is already on the job as sembling diamond talent to the Lincoln club. Fourteen Sioux City players are on the reserve list, half of whom will probably be retained by the new Lincoln magnate for playing here. Wakefield, who is a former ma jor leaguer, will manage Ms team from the bench. Tha Lincoln club will probably gather at Texarkana, Ark., for spring . training, according to Wakefield. It is planned that the grandstand at Landis Field shall be enlarged, al though the new park is a much bet ter baseball plant than the old “M" street park, used by the Western league in former years. The old Western park has been de stroyed, the ground now being the site of a municipal swimming pool. Atkinson Claims District Cage Title Atkinson, Neb., Feb. 28.—Valentine In claiming the basket ball champion ship of northwest Nebraska falls to .ake Into consideration the fact that Atkinson defeated the claimants of the title on two different occasions. Valentine went down to a 26 to 1* lefeat at the hands of the Atkinson quintet November 23 and again were lefeated, 27 to 23, February 1. Mince defeating Valentine, Atkinson Has defeated Nellgh and Oakdale. The only game lost by Oakdale this •eason was the contest to Atkinson. Since Valentine has beaten all other teams in the western part of the state »nd Atkinson has defeated Valentine an two different occasions, Atkinson considers its claim to the northwest Nebraska title Is equal to the claim ?f Valentine. Portland Club Obtains Two Athletics’ Players Philadelphia, Feb. 28.—President Turner of the Portland club of the Pacific Coast league today closed a deal with Connie Mack, whereby he obtains two Philadelphia Athletics' youngsters. They are Bill Hunnefield, first baseman and outfielder, and Johnny (Skin) Jones, Infielder. They were with the Montreal club In the Kastern Canada league last season. Cyclones Depart for Meet. Ames. Ia., Keb. 28.—Coach Sam Wlllaman and members of the Iowa State college track team left Ames tonight for Urbana to enter the Illi nois relay carnival there tomorrow and Saturday.

Bincoln, Feb. 28.—Cotner universi ty hoopstcrs defeated Nebraska Wes leyan, 21 to 13, on the Bethany court Wednesday night. The game was fast and hard fought. No fewer than 71 women are owners of race horses In ICngland. The average age for heavyweight champions to lose their title Is a little more than 33 years. • The longest distance for which there Is a recognised worlds run ning record is 500 miles; the shortest is 20 yards. Italic Kuth led the American league In striking out last season, fanning 03 times. Karnm was next with 82 strikeouts. As file result of exainhiati^ns of 171 athletes ski skates wore found to have the largest hearts, while Imxers have smaller heaits than tics average person.

Tul sa skipper’s brother, is to be busi ness manager of tlie Lincoln club of the Western league the forth coming season.

Lelivelt has held a city job in Chicago of recent years, v__./ Hawkeye Gagers Face Stiff Games ■—y Iowa City, Feb. 28.—Making their second long trip of the season, the University of Iowa basket ball team journeys to Urbana, 111., and Lafay ette, Ind., this weekend to play re turn "games with Illinois and Purdue. They will meet the Ultnl on Friday night and the Purdue cagers on Mon day evening. Although the Hawkeyes defeated Purdue in the first game of the sea son at Iowa City in January by a score of 36 to 26, the Boilermakers have since Improved to such an ex tent that they top the conference with nine wins and two loses. Pros pects of a victory over Illinois are equally dim, Coach Barry's men los ing 26 to 14 to tho Illinl last week. Basket ball with Bparks of bril liancy and spots of poor playing marked the Michigan game at Iowa City Monday night, won by the Wol verines, 27 to 25. The first half ended In a 13 t 013 deadlock after Iowa had scored two quick baskets with only a minute to play. Frequent fouls In the second half gave Michigan points on penalty tosses, combined with sev eral baskets. With only a few min utes to play, the Wolverines were well out In front, 25 to 19. Then Iowa came back with one of the flashiest exhibitions of fight seen this year, and after a Michigan bas ket, Speed, subbing at guard for Duhn, made two free throws which, together with baskets by Jensen and Janse, left the Hawkeyes trailing by only two pints. Desperate attempts to score In the closing seconds of the battle were fruitless. After the next trip only the two games with Wisconsin remain on the schedule. The Badgers come to Iowa City on March 8, while the return game will be at Madison on March 11. Collegiate Tank Meet to Be Held Minneapolis. Minn., Feb. 2S.—pinna for a national Intercollegiate swim ming meet, the first of its kind ever staged, are bring formulated and in dications are that the event will take place some time in May in an eastern pool, Fred W. Luehring, athletic di rector at the University of Minnesota, who is chairman of the national col legiate swimming rules committee, made known today. The meet was authorized by the National Collegiate Athletic associa tion at its Atlanta meeting last De cember and the rules committee, headed by Director Luehring was charged with the task of staging the event, liesidea determining national Intercollegiate champions the meet will take on an added elgnificance as it has been designated a part of the Olympic trials. The exact date for the meet and the place It will be staged ^has not been decided upon but a decision on this detail Is expected to be reached soon, Mr. Luehring said. Dempsey's Black-Eyed Susan (Still Picking Petals) } (Utafc fci, I By ED HUGHES. "Dear Mr. Hughes:— I am a steady reader of your articles and I am going to | take advantage of your generos ity by asking you to express your opinion on a question which puirlcs, I think, all fistic fandom. “Is Mr. Jack Dempsey actually afraid of II arty Wills or is he drawing the ‘color line' like a num ber of otiier champions? It can't he that they are afraid it won't draw, because the minute they sign it as sures a sellout." No one can really answer your question with authority, Mr. Hinds et al. except James Harrison Demp sey himself. He Is the only being who really knows whether the men tion of the name Wills produces a quirk of fear In his heart ami brain. As for the rest of us. we are left entirely to nppearances and the Im pression they establish. Nobody has ever questioned Demp sey’s murage in anje ring fight he lias engaged in. In fact. Ids iron de termination, his savage fighting de meanor, and his mettle under fire have been fertile themes for those who like to describe the best beloved qualities In a fighting man. I cannot answer your question as before explained. But can give you my impression. Dempsey is. I think, not anxious to fight Wills. By this I do not mean to say that he acquaily fears Wills. But his ac tion* convey the Impression that he has great respect for Mr. Wills. I rather think Demsey believes he can beat any living man. However, he seems to feel that Wills would give him the most desiierate struggle of them all. Jack Kearns who nego tiates all Dempsey's ring engage ments, doubtless holds the same opin ion. The result is, the Wills luttle, If it is ever marie, will be Dempsey’s last ring combat- Wills will be ob liged when the champion Itss ex hausted Ilia supply of white op ponents, when he has dredger! up all the money the title ran yield him. That is the writer’s present impres sion. Should Dempsey retire undefeat ed. without having met Wills, I should have no doubt a^out the mat ter. It would simply mean that Jack was always scared of the black man. for such a contest would net him more than a million dollars. The Dempsey outfit has had many offers for a Wills bout, but |11 have been turned down. Yet Jack jumped at the chance to meet Carpentler, Gibbons and Flrpo. This surely In dlcated that he sized Wills up ss much the hardest proposition. This Is somewhat puzzling to the writer. It Is my belief that Wills Is entitled to the first crack at the champion, but at the same time I do Hot think he would give Dempsey his hardest fight. On form, and In the matter of past performances, Demp sey appears to he much the more for midable fighting man. Only In sl/e and brute strength has Wills the call. The outstanding past performance to he considered here Is Hill Tate's associations with both Wills and Dempsey. Wills and Tate have met quite a few times. Wills has scored knockouts, and on other occasions Tate has gone the limit of 10 and 12 rounds. He lias even obtained a draw with Wills. More important ' than that, Tate has knocked Wills And Tale lias never been i^T a heavy hitter. * Dempsey used the colored man ] Tate as a sparring partner. And he ! used him mightly roughly whenever, he wanted to. Jack could have pu^i Tate away with most any punch he i wanted to end their bouts with. I think Wills would give Demp- i sey a good fight, but not his hardest. Dempsey would figure to win within six rounds, to my mind. That I* only my way of looking at It, Dempsey may see it In a more dis turbing light. After all. he Is to do the battling with Wills, not the writer. Renault May Box Fred Fulton Jack Renault, Canadian heavy weight champion scrapper, who is on his way to a championship battle with Jack Dempsey, has been signed by Minneapolis Boxing club for the windup position on a card to l* staged March 7. The promoters have not selected Renault's opponent,,but l-'red Pulton, Cliff Kramer, Jack Mc Auliffa and Floyd Johnson are being considered. The Minneapolis club would like to stage a Fulton-Renault bout, but It is doubtful If the promoters cap In duce long Fred to take the match, as he lias been promised a meeting with Renault In Madison Square garden late In the spring.
