Harlem Jimmy Kelly to Trade Punches With Schlaifer in Omaha Elks’ Mitt Show -(i New York Battler Ranks High in Welter Class Credited With Decisions Over Soldier Bartfield, Georgie Ward and Others—Draw With Britton. » * NOTHER substitution In the 4A Elks’ boxing card for Auditor iuin Monday niglit. The latest switch brings into the picture Mr. Hnrlom Jimmy Kelly, a tough lad who dwells underneath the shadows of Coogan's llluff. Harletn Jimmy has been substituted as the opponent for Morrie Sr Waiter. Schlaifer originally was scheduled to step off 10 rounds in company with one Marty Summers. But yester day the Ellts' promoters learned that If.ivleni Jimmy might be persuaded to swap wallops with the precocious Morrie and they straightway began to squander money with the Western Union. The money was not wasted. Harlem Jimmy replied that he would be de lighted to take a poke at Mr. Sohlai fer's Jaw. Whereupon transporta tion was sent to Mr. Kelly, and Marty Summers was given the air. Harlem Jimmy has quite a formid able record. He has won decisions from such noble warriors as Soldier Bartfield, Georgie Ward, Marty Cross, Dave Rosenberg and Phil Kaplan. Once he earned a draw with Dave Shade. A couple of other times he lost decisions to Shade. But then Schlaifer also lost a couple of de risions to Shade. Kelly once had a chance at the welterweight champion ship, but Jack Britton was guarding that emblem at the time and although Kelly struggled manfully for 15 rounds he wasn't quite equal to the veteran Britton. Kelly, so sayetn reports, is or me rough and ready variety. He likes to ■lug and trade wallops. He’s the kind who likes to fight and he takes no pains to he gentlemanly about It. Among the recent_deveIopments In connection with Monday night's show in a display or temperament on the part of .)ork Malone. Malone heard that there wero to be two 10-round fights, one between Malone and Georgie West and the other between Sehlaifer and Kelly. Then somebody told Jock the plan was to put him In with West in the semi-windup with Sehlaifer and Kelly closing the card. And what a howl thereupon arose from Mr. Malone. The howl reached Omaha yesterday In the shape of a telegram to Bill Kavan. the boxing Inspector. Tn the wire Jock demanded to know how coroe *.»thdnnwon should be op erating In a semi-windup. It’s not being done," said Jock. Kavan isn't quite sure wherein a boxing inspector should be mixed up In such a quarrel, but he's making discreet inquiries. If he decided it’s his problem, he’ll settle it. If he de cides it's none of his business, it will be a matter for Malone and the Elks' promoters to iron out. For a guess it probably will be set tled by making the Malone-West fight the main event. There was a noticeable Increase in the demand for, seats when it was announced Malone and Sehlaifer w-ould appear on the Monday night program. The agencies distributing th» pasteboards now announce that it looks as though a capacity house would witness the struggles of the \ leather pushers. Kearney Not Likely to Enter State Loop Kearney, Neb,. March 13.—Despite • lories to the contrary, there is little possibility of Kearney's being repre sented in the Nebraska State league or the Trl-state league. While some local fans are highly enthusiastic over the prospects, they »re thinking merely In terms of 50 cent admis sions So fur none have stepped for ward without a guarantee of finan cial help sufficient tn Insure Kear ney's participation in the league. The boys with the cash are letting Ihe fans fln the talking and they are recalling past costly experiences. An other reason they cannot get on thused is the Sunday baseball situa tion locally. For without Sunday baseball the game could never be made to pay out here and there Is considerable opposition to It. Couplqd with these conditions an excellent county league has been developed |n recent years, has been well patron Isd and seemingly fills the bill. Al together it does not look promising for Kearney's possible entry In any other league. Tom Gibbons Will Fight Willie Keeler Memphis, Tenn., March 13.—Torn Gibbons. St. Paul contender for Jack Dempsey’s crown, has been matched with Willie Keeler, Pacific coast heavyweight, for an eight-round bout hero March 31, Billy Haack, local pro motor, announced last night. { Tommy Gibbons knocked out Willie Keeler in the second round of a scheduled 10 round bout staged at tlie Auditorium by Denny Ryan in 1921.

Billiard Player Drops Dead as^de Prepares to Shoot -' York, March 13.—The finals in the lo'cal Elks billiard tournament ended disastrously here last evening when Charles Green, one of the participants In the final round, dropped dead just as he raised his cue to shoot. Apo plexy Is said to have been the cause of his death. About 30 local Elks, in cluding Green’s son and brother, were witnessing the match. Mr. Green moved to York froYn Hamilton county ahout two years ago, where he had farmed for a number of years.

G. Speer of Midland college, prom inent in state collegiate athletics for the last number of years, has ven tured to offer an unbiased selection of all-state collegiate basket ball teams. The Midland quint met prac tically every team In the conference and Coach Speer has had the oppor tunity of seeing the various stars In action. First Team. Second Team. Beet, Wayne ....T.. F. Calvert, Wealexin Stephena. Haet. ..H.F...Manning. Cotner Weimer Peru ... C. . Hurlhut, u esleyen Cun’ham, Moil'd .. It. O.. Oausman. Doane Butzenbach. Peru . B. O. .Tetter. Wesleyan Peru, with Butzenbach and Wei mer, is the only team to land two players on Coach Speer's first team. Both men were beyond a doubt, he says, the outstanding players for those positions. Best of Wayne, high point scorer of the conference, has an undisputed claim to a forwad berth on the first team, Speer believes. Stephens, Hastings, is the other for ward chosen by the Midland mentor. Cunningham of the Midland quint was described by Speer as the best offen sive and defensive guard in the con ference, and is the only man to land on either of Speer's mythical quin tets. Wesleyan, with Calvert, Hurlhut and Yetter, contributed the majority of players for Speer's second selec tion. Gausmun, Doane guard, was the other outstanding guard, while Man ning of Cotner deserves a forward berth on the second string. Blouin to Roll in A.B.C. Tonight Chicago, March 13.—Jimmy Blouin. king pin of the American Bowling congress, will roll tonight 1m the na tional tourney before a crowd that has taken every seat in the advance sale. He will appear as a member of the Brui-ks quintet of Chicago, win ners of tlie national title in the Peoria tourney in 1520, with a score of 3,096^ then a world record mark. Another former title holding five, the Bilk Panthers team, will also compete. They were champions In 11*17, at the Grand Rapids meet. The Livestock press was the only new name to appear among the lead ers today, their score of 2,905 last night giving them eighth in the five man event. George Sisler Will Return to Diamond St Louis. Mo., March 13.—George Staler, ttfer a year's absence, will he back at first base for the St. Louie Americans next Sunday in an exhibi tion game with Mobile, according to advices from the training camp there.

Olympic Teams of United States and Great Britain May Meet in Dual Meet Following Big Games This Summer E W YORK, March 12—With the commend side Idea of pro viding diversion for dear old Ixm don, a plot Is i n l r k e n i n e whereby the Olympic teams of the United States and Great Britain will take issue in an inter national dual meeting subs^ quent to the Olympic games in i-aris mu summer. The Idea Is strictly England's own and it has sven gone so far as to despatch one Richmond Temple, director of, the London association, to New York to see what can lie done about It. Temple hopes to convince A. A. IT. officials that the enterprise will be for the best. He will go Into im mediate conference with them, armed n.th pleas calculated to prove that the meet will react favorably upon th amicable relations between the two countries and can be conducted with slight expense to either, to say no**i ipg of the prospect of mach proilt. it is understood that Temple can promise the use of a stadium seating 250,000 for the affair. In this case, an attendance of 50 per cent would go some distance toward underwrit ing the expense of the entire Ameri can trip, he declares. Present plans call for a program of 12 events, in net of the standard variety, with first places only to count, according to the continental system of scoring. Expect But Few Changes in A. B. C. Chicago, March 13.—The American bowling congress tournament enters Its final fortnight of piny today, ivith possibilities of fewer and fewer changes In the Hat of the first 10 standings.

Ky DAVIS . KW YORK, March > 13 —T hat Rati J Rerlenbach, the most talked of fig ure in pugilism since Jack Demp sey first began knocking them liver 111 l CO i n the worst from Jack Delaney to rn or row night, ^ was Indicated to 1 day when his m a n a g e r, Dan Hickey, declared that Paul would he sent after a knockout from the bell. Berlen bach has the amazing total of *.i straight knockouts since turning boxer, but Hickey frankly admitted that he entertained a suspicion De laney might not be the 26th. "I will not sleep comfortably undl after tomorrow night,” quoth Hickey. "My nian ran punch with the best of them, hut he has much to learn. I wouldn't want to see the bout go too far. In fact, I will send Paul out after a knockout from Ike first punch. I know that Delaney packs a wallop himself, and it wouldn’t be good business to give him too much time to play around with it." Hickey's statement concurs with I. WALSH. common opinion on the affair, agree ment being almost unanimous that Berlenbach has picked a live one by mistake. Vox Populi has stormed the portals at the Garden for three con secutive days with the result that there Isn't a reserved ticket remain ing in the box office. The unreserved sections will be placed on sale tomor row night before the bout and all pur chasers must pass within immediately in order that ticket speculators may be thoroughly foiled. It will be the greatest and most festive indoor crowd since the Demp sey-Brennan transaction and ttie night that Benny I^-onard and Ritchie Mitchell helped to devastate France. The punch has got them. Both the principals are punchers, first and last, and Delaney carries the added advantage of experience, lie figures to have an even ehanre ami that is the reason a large sec tion of I he merry assemblage will he from Connecticut, Delaney’s home state, brandishing banknotes in mid-air. The odds <|Uoted on Broadway last night were 6 to 3 on lterlenhaeli and not without reason. Delaney is said to have a fragile chin, a fact attested to by his'record which shows that several of the boys have wafted him Into a position per manently horizontal. But when De laney succeeds in keeping that trick jaw tucked safely away, he generally canters in with a victory. Says"bugs' ae2~: BAD WEATHER CRIMPS GIANTS Hank.
