By RALPH WAGNER. MAH A Elks will re enter the fight field St Patrick riav with an all-, slar boxing pro pram, according to an announce - m ntent made last 1 night by the ac itivities committee of the local order of "Big Bills.’* For the main event, a 10-rmind affair, the Elks have signed Sam my Mandril, the ' Kocktord (III.) Mash, anil Sammy Sieger of New York city. Mandril and Sieger are Junior lightweights anil the class of their division. Ill the 10-round semi-windup will appear Earl McArthur, the Sioux dty (la.) bantamweight boxer of considerable ability and Herbie Schaefer of Chicago. McArthus, whose last appearance In Omaha was against Champion Joe Lyach, will meet a tough foe in little Jierbie Schaefer, who is attracting a lot of attention throughout the coun try at present, as a boxer. In another 10-rounder will be Jack O'Toole of Sioux City and Ace Hud kins nt Lincoln. O'Toole and Hud kins have been matched before, but some thing happened a day or two before the bout and the mill had to be can celed. Both have sent their con tracts to the Omaha Elks and will have their long delayed battle here St. Patrick evening. Budkins covered himself with glory last Friday when he knocked out "Rusty" .tones of St. Haul in Hie second round of a scheduled 10 round bout. Joe Humphries and "Rusly" Evans, the latter of York, Neb., will meet in a six-round prelimin ary bout. This bout is on the pro gram as sort of a grudge affair. Both Humphries and Evans have been hurling challenges at each 1 •her here of late and it remained tor the Omaha Elks to bring the * %o scrappers together in a bat (I* - | But the Mandell-Sieger bout. ' i Sieger by all accounta is one of the , greatest drawing cards of fightdom. He was the fistic sensation in New 1 ork boxing circles in 1921 and ''922. drawing the biggest houses for Tex Rickard outside of Benny Leonard, lightweight’ champ. The New Yorker Is undoubtedly the representative Junior light weight contender, the same as Mandril. Sieger has won over Andy Chaney, Billy IleFoe, Tommy Noble, Kid Sullivan, Mickey Brown, Pep per Martin, Jack Sharky and Bobby Michaels. Tickets for the bout will go on sale scon. The prices will be $1, |2 and Hi, as usual. Central Quintet Defeats Hastings Just as Creighton won a practice game on Monday night so did the Central five when they copped an easy 30 to 15 victory over the Hast ings crew at Tech gym last night. A good workout in preparation for the game tonight with South High was all the Purple first team got. The Dodge street lads were never In danger after the first whistle till the final minute of play with all the substitutes in the battle at the end. The Omaha men were not working In the best possible way as they miss ed many short shots consistently. Marrow and Robertson were the Ugh point men of the game as well as the flashiest men on the floor. ;"t|ey dribbled through the Black and ilow defense many times to cage pihe ball. For the visitors Marvel, left forward, worked the best, his basket ey« coupled with his fighting spirit counting for most of Hastings' points. Coach Hill substituted freely after the first half when the count stood IB to 6 In favor of the Purple and White five. The whole second team was in the game the last eight minutes of play, the first team being unwilling spectators to the affair. Lewis Throws Saunders. Chicago.

EW YORK, March ^ 1.—Conflicting re port* were in cii g/f culatlon today about the condi tion of Jack ]>mpaey, lying ill in a local hoe pit*], nn« of the stories having it that the heavy weight champion was a victim of hernia and an other that he would never fight again. Denial of both reports was .alleged to have been made bv Dr. Robert K. Bren nan. who performed the operation on Dempsey, but the surgeon could not be reached early today for a statement and the stories persisted with re newed vigor. Steadfastly denying himself to friends and newspaper ‘Wen, the champion lias succeeded In cloak ing his Illness with mystery and tho added fact that bis manager, •lack Kearns, usually available at all times, has not been In evidence for several days, served to contribute to the general uneasiness. The situation was brought to s boll today, by the announcement that liempscy must remain In the hospital for at least 10 days longer. Ills original slay was Umlte to "a few days" In the early estimates anil seeming emphasis was placed on the fact that the operation was to he a minor one. It wss sold that Damp sey's ailment was fistula, but one published report has Dr. Ilrennan declaring that hemorrhoids also do veloped. necessitating a more serious operation. ‘With the , •KNIGHTS’ f/fl* Anfflre, March I.—Vlt Voley, Se attle Wash . bantamweight, wga awarded an unpopular daclalon over "Dimly Dick" Orlffln of Port Worth, Tei, In tha main event of a boxing card here laat night.

'*'"J"'* ■.wwmw1 '.u1 OMAHA WELTER SCHEDULED TO MEET JOHNNY KARR IN BOUT AT CHICAGO NEXT WEDNESDAY Hands Joe Sinionich Neat Trimming in Ten Rounds at Audi torium Friday Night—Scores Two Knockdowns Over Montana Welter—Munroe Kayoes Lainhcrt in Fifst. While Hudkins Knocks Out Jones in Second Round— Large Crowd Sees Fights. By “WAG.” HRRIK Srm.AlF KR this morninR Is look in e for more fields to conquer. Friday night he slugged his js-ay to a 10-round ref eree's decision over Joe Simon ich, the “B u t t e Assassin,” in the main event at the Auditorium before one of the largest crowd* that haa ever turned out to <p« the “Flghtin' Fool" fight In Omaha. This morning, with a sore right hand argl a pair of swollen eye*. Sehlaifer is making preparation* to leave Omaha with his robust mana ger, Pat Boyle. The Sehlaifer Boyle establishment plans to leave the city soon for Chicago, where the bread winner of the company is scheduled to meet Johnny Karr In a 10 round bout March 5. From Chicago Sehlaifer anti Boyle will make tracks farther east In search of bouts. They ex pec t to wend their way into New York - Morrie Sehlaifer had plenty of assistants last night. I’at IJoyle, his manager: llr levy, Harry Heed and “Cap" Itiihc n were in Seltlaifer's corner throughout the fight. Hilly I virk, former trainer of Sehlaifer, occupied a ringside seat, v_J ( it.v soon Mini once in the great city exper t to go before Hip commis sion and ask for a bout with Mickey Walker, the king pin of the wel ters, who is tlie only one to score a knockout over Schlaifer. Fighting like he did last night, SchLiifer is liable to make it plenty tough for Walker or anyone who comes In contact with his leathered gloves. The Omaha welter was work ing In fine form against Simonich and appeared to be in the heat condition of hla career. He slugged with the westerner when the opportunity pre sented itself and battled away w hen in close. It was always Simonich who backed away; seldom Schlaifer. Simonich lived up to all press agent accounts of his ability to lake era. Billy I'vick. former trainer of Schlaifer, was the object of much kidding at the ringside. I'vick, so ft seems, picked Jones to heat lludkins, and Lambert to win ovrr Munroe. Rill also though! Simonirh would heat Schlaifer. V___—J The Montana welter Is another John ny Stopper when it cor.ics to absorb ing punishment. He is one of the tougheet of all weltei weights who have fought in Omaha hut tnere were times during the fight when lie was unable to withstand the wallops dealt out by hla opponent. These were in the fourth find eighth rounds when Schlaifer knocked him down for a count of seven lr each rounu. Of the ID rounds we gave Schlaifer seven and Nltnonk h Hirer. Tin- first, second and tenth went to Simonich, while -ill I lie remain ing rounds belong in the Onialiau. The serond and tenth stanzas were Simonich’* by a shade. Schlaifer'a best round was the fifth, although he knock'd Simonich down for counts In the fourth and eighth. In this fifth stanza Schlaifer went after Joe in tiger-like fashion. He hanked Simonich with his left and right mitt* to the Jaw and kidneys. Once his left caught Simonich on the Jaw and the Butte welter fell hark against the ropes. The hfmpen strands kept him from falling to the floor. Here Schlaifer, In our opinion had a chance to score a knockout. "Had Newa" Murphy, prominent •t the Sportsman, and Cliff Coley of South Omaha put on a four round hunt following the quirk end of the Ijvmhert-Munroe bout. Curley t'lrlrh railed the boat a draw. The fans gut quite a "kirk” out of the mill._ ^ f'.nther than rush his opponent and Iskr advantage of his dared condi tion. Si hlalfer stepped hark anil al lowed Slmonlrh to shake the effects of the blow from hie head. Joe cov ered up and managed to weather the slot in, although he was a liadly lie a ten fighter In thla round. Soon alter I lie fifth round ataited. Sclilaifrr started hurling verbal blows at Billy I vlrk. hla former trainer, who waa silting at the ringside. At times Srlilalfer paid more attention to Cvlrk than he did to Slmnnhh. This waa true when he knocked doe against the ropes. Srlilalfer chased slmonlrh fo the north side of the ring where I vlrk was sitting and yelled: "line lie comes, llill, catch' ini." lie no more tlinii got those words out of Ills mouth amt he liiulcil Ills left anil sent Slmonlrh against the ropes and nearly out in I vlrk’s lap. In this round Schlatter's right rntne In contact with Slmontch'a jaw The blow, landing full force on Joes hard law, canard one of the knuckles to lipcorne dislocated. This caused Schlalfer great pain ami from the f Iff tv until the finish he wss forced to resort, to using Ills left. Blmonlch started atrypg |4id Cm ished that way. In the first round he tore Into Srhlaifer and shot over rights and lefts to Morrie's kidneys. Once in awhile he crossed his mitts to Schlaifer's jaw. He had the Omahan on the defensive a lot in this round, although Srhlaifer shot over a right to his opponent's head that gave ( FIGHT RKSU.TS, Morrie Srhlaifer won derision from Joe Simonich, 1(1 rounds. Rattling Munroe knocked out Chuck Lambert in first round of scheduled 1 ((round hout. Jack Schaefer and Red Wilson fought six rounds to a draw. Are IJudkins knocked out Rusty Jones in second round of scheduled III round bout. ---/ Simonioh some idea of what was In store for him during the remainder of the evening. From the third until the 10th It was all Schlaifer. Jn the third he chased Simonich around the ring, showering with first blows to the Jaw and then to the kidneys. He had the westerner paying more respect for his punches which seemed to give him much more confidence In his abil ity. The ninth went to Schlaifer hy a good margin. Simoni'-h took another good heating In this stanza and man aged to get over some good blows to Schlaifer’* jaw and kidneys, but not enough to stop the Omahan. In the loth Simonich came out strong. He waded into Schlaifer from the start and. with both hands working fast, hacked Morrle int" the ropes, where he gave him a beating. He had Schlaifer worried as the referee parted them. A left to Schlaifer's jaw sent him back against the ropes, where Simonich continued to swing rights and lefts to the Jrw and stom ach. Schlaifer fought back and shot over his left that caused Simonich to slow up. They were fighting hard at the bell. In the semi windup. "Battling" Munroe of Omaha knocked out Carl Lambert In the ISrst round of a sched uled 10-round bout after flooring the visitor several times. Ace Hudkins, Lincoln lightweight, ‘■prang the surprise when he knocked out ‘"Rusty" Jones of St. Paul in the second round of another ’ 10-rounder. Jones started strong. He danced in and out. while Hudkins did the same. In the second round the Lincoln bat tler set down to work and chased Jones to the north side of the ring where he cut loose his right and left in fast order. Jones went down and had to be carried out of the ring. In the first bout of the evening. "Bed Wilson of St Paul and Jack Schaefer of Omaha fought a six round draw.

VIS ANGEL FIP.PO, the •‘clubber.” will engage In one more fistic en counter In lile na tive Argentina JOISTIJI-P0* before he ee'S sail for the Unit ed States to launch a cam paign that will result ultimately in a return match with Jack Demp sey for the heavyweight championship of the world. That battle will be with Krmino Kpalla, Italian heavyweight. In Buenos Aire* Friday night. It ia tlie outstanding feature of the box ing calendar of the current week, which also Includes a rather Import ant engagement for Pancho A ilia, flyweight champion of the world, who meets Dud Taylor in a Milwau kee ring. The Italian champion defeated a lot of good fighters In Europe ind then wa« matched with Georges farpcntier, the fallen pugilistic idol of France. After the match was made the Italian decided rather suddenly that he did not care to keep the engagement and left for South Amerira to fight Firpo. If he dodged (arpentier because ho feared defeat, he has no business meeting the clubbing giant from 11 be Argentine, but there may have been a better reason for his sudden departure from Europe. There are reports from Italy where most of Spalla's battles wer fought, that he Is a real fighter. w;tl a punch and more skill than the av erage heavyweight of Europe. H is also said to be sble to take pun ishment. This one asset is essentia if he hopes to go the limit or stanC a chance of victory, in a combat with Firpo. This will be the South American * last appearance at home. If he wins —and he must win or he will not be wanted In this country—he will leave Immediately for the United States. His managers. Billy McCarney and Hughey Gartland, have mapped out | an extensive campaign which will call for the flopping of a lot of sec ond raters before he will again he matched with the champion. During this series of more or less important bouts with scf-called second rater* Firpo will be able to gather in con aiders hie coin and will greatly enrich a hank account that reached largs proportions when he was here a year ago and fought several good men. in eluding Jess t\'jllard and the kingpin of fistiana. It Is also a possibility that Firpo w ill fight Wills, although this match, which appeared to be a cer tainty a month ago. dives not seem so sure now and interest in it is not up to the point evpected hy those who are financially Interested in such an enconnter. If he does fight the "brown panther" from New Orleans he will be given HU. Othl for tlie job. Firpo s goal, of course, la a re turn match with Dempsey. He claim* to have learned to use hi* left hand, which he could not do well in hia former fight with the champion, and is said to have confidence in hia ability to w:n now.* Thu* wuh so much at stak# It doej not seem rea sonable that Firpo » uld Schedule a fight with Spalls at home unless he feels reasonably certain that he can win harffiliy. The showing the wild bull made against Farmer Lodge was uot very encouraging He arrears alow, oven weight, and not aa strong aa he waa a year ago. Put this may be because of the long layoff and a lack of suf ficient training. With Gartland t« charge of hia camp the Argentine scrapper probably will be forced_te get back into fighting condition again and by the time ha reaches the I'nited Slates he may look much more like he*did when he met Dempsey last season. While interest la centered in the Fir|>o-Spalla engagement, due to the fact that the South American is the most logical foe for Dempsey thris are some bouts .n America this week that are of some importance. Tlie "Filipino Flash" w ho lias held the flyweight throne since hia victory over Jimmy W ilde a y ear ago. i« going to meet one of hi* mo«t w orthy foe* in Tay lor. in Milwaukee Thursday night. Taylor Is the Terra Haute ilnd.) scrapper w hose Mow s recently resultcj in tlie death of Frankie Jerome in New \ork. He i» a rough, tough little fellow with plenty of punch ing power. He is not as f*»t as the champion flyweight, otiose clever ness likely will carry him through the Irt rounds to victory, hut it will tv a hard fight for both of them.
