0 FREDDIE WELSH IS DOOMED Champ Swimmers On Famous Hawaiian Beach Jess Willard Says Till: OMAHA RT7NDAY BF,E: MAKCII 2fi, 1916. Benny Leonard's Rapid Ruih to Front ii a Danger Signal to the Lightweight Champ. IS LAD WITH KNOCKOUT PUNCH ' By RISGMDK. t NEW TORK. March J&.-Wlth ths big -quarrel out of the rn y attention of the (boxing community la Instantly comman deered by the lightweight division. Al though the Inferiority of Freddie Welsh a a champion haa lone been established, this class It one moro enjoying th prestige of being the moat popular Id the game because It la the most artlve atod constantly undergoing changea Inso far aa new facea and new sensation arc roncerned. Consider the kaleidoscopic rhangea in lightweight affaire since a ahort while ago or alnce the Wlllard-Moran melee shoved every other boxing division Into temporary obscurity. Before the heavyweight mjss il broached the 13.1-pound division was actually In a moribund slate. There was little Interest In thla claaa because Welsh was atlir champion; Charley White was Jet an unknown quality knocking out aecond-ratera by the gross and being outpointed by clever mediocre boxers; Ted Lewis. Willie Hitch I and Jack lliit ton were outgrowing their lightweight clothes and the same old lightweights were fighting one another for the eteenth time. Now look at that division! Freddie Welsh allll la the champion, but that matters not; for he won't remain as such Aery long If he ever can be Inveigled Into a mati h over the Derby distance with his title at stake. Ixok 'em over now. There la Benny Leonard, who haa per formed prodigious feats In the ring In a few ahort months. Also there Is Mll Vurn JSaylor, the Indianapolis entry, who leaped, Into the front rank of lightweights ovamlght, although the effort nearly coat blm hla life. Then ' there la- Joe Sfandot back la favor agaliVi also Johnny Dundee, the Scotch wop. .who hereafter 111 oonfln hla endeavors te the light weight close. Not forgetting Charley White, the Chicago knockout king, who la ever a contender aa long as he packs that forty-two-centimeter left hook. Never heard of Benny IeonardT True, the record booka for 1DHJ do not liat Benny's name, though they mention him occaalonally to keep you poated on aomo other fighter"! record, but Leonard nevertheless, right now Is the most for midable challenger on Freddie Welsh's calling list. And Frederick shows no desire to engage Mr. Leonard In the I mediate future. Fred Is an observing youth and sagely refuse to have any thing to do with Benny after taking a look at Leonard's recent achievements. And we don't blame Freddie, either, con sidering the earning power of a world's championship. Is a Gotham Boy. Leonard la a Gotham boy, having- bean born and brought up In the Harlem sec tion of tho city. He showed much prom ise aa a boxer when ha embarked on hi professional ring career three years ago. It waa not until a few months' ago that Leonard cam before th publlo eye. Then Billy Olboon took him la hand and Benny began his series of astonishing performances. Th first occurred at a local club, where ha checked Jo Mandot's winning streak. Benny knocked th southern boy out In seven rounda, something Freddie Welsh routdn't do In two ten-round bouts; Joe Rivers and Johnny Dundcs In twenty, Johnny K 11 bane In twelve and a boat of other good fighter In limited contests. Then Leonard went to Boston and ad ' ministered th first knockout ever guf. fered by Phil Bloom, the rugged Brook lyn lightweight. After this cam a knock lit victory over Jimmy Murphy, who pre viously had outboxed Freddie Welsh, Johnny Dundee and Toung Bhugrue. These three knockouts each unex-prcted-hav established a reputation as a knookerout tor Benjamin Leonard. And Ben keeps Improving with each bout. Only a few weeks ago he outfought Johnny Dundee. Welsh may consent to take on Ieonard, but not for a few months at th least Freddie has been living too Irregular to engage In a hard fight without several weeks' training. Is trader th Weight. Th beauty about Mr. Leonard Is that he does not have to amputate a leg or even shave an eyelash to make 131 pounds ringside. That la more than Freddie Welsh can do. . Th other prominent lightweight person la young MUburn Baylor, His flve-rour-J knockout of Lrach Cross, the hardy New York veteran, boosted Kaylor'a atock al most on a par with that of Leonard, but for an vnfortunate aftermath. Kaylor contracted a cold the night of the I roe bout. It developed Into nnuo- monla, and for a few days his life was despaired of. Fortunately Saylor fought off the dread lllneaa. but not until he bad loat twenty pounds. Saylor Is regaining weight rapidly and will be ready to get back Into the ring In about a month. Ida feat In knocking ut Cross Is atlll remembered, and when lie Is well again MUburn la euro to be considered among the best lightweights in the land. A Baylor-Leonard match would go a long . way toward determining Freddie Welsh's next opponent. Omaha Boy Member Of Champion Eifle Team of Country Robett Strehlow. an Omaha boy.

GETS SIX THOUSAND. SALARY fly FltAXK ii. MKKK, NEW TORK, March . Benny Kaufra position In base ball at thla time Is one that excites no envy. He must make good with a whoop In a Giant uniform or he'll be the moat scoffed-at player In the his tory Of the pastime. Kauff has boasted so often and so flu ently about his prowess that even a good showing In 191S will not save htm from "panning." He has led the folks to be lieve that he's the greatest player that ever hoofed onto a diamond and he must deliver. If Kauff hits far beyond .300, runs bases a la Cobb and fields with th best In th game ha will be forgiven for his egotism. Dut should he fall; should h hit under .100 and be stopped In moat of his pilfering attempts; should he make errors now and then, he'll become the target for the rat-calls snd hoots and hisses of ths bleachers and the grand stands. Kauff, by his self-sung praise, has gam bled with unpopularity a desperato gambit. Kaaff iets gfl.OOO Oaly. Th Idea that Kauff Is one of the highest prloed men In the game la er roneous. There are at least thirty other players In tho majors who are drawing more money than the "Shrinking Violet." Kauff was th real star of the defunct Federal circuit, yet hla contract called for only ,( a year. There were at least fifteen players In the league that war drawing salaries far In excess of Kaufra And K0OO per year is what ths (Hants are going to pay "Shrinking Violet" dur ing Wl and 117. No matter If he hits for a million, he won't get any more than 6,000. Ills contract Is of an IronU-lad nature. Roaae Totaled 3,600. Kauff s full demands as to bonuses were) not granted. He asked fi,000 from the Otant owners and an additional S,OO0 from Harry Sinclair, who sold him to th New York club for KS.OOO. He didn't get a sou from Sinclair and only K.bao from the Giant owners, according to the man who engineered the "holdup.' Of the 13.600 bonus that the Giants passed over Kauff only got a trifle mor than 11.100. The reat was divided among lawyers and others who hsd assisted Kauff In his demands of "bonus or no Play." Adding Kaufra bonus to his salary. It means that hla total Income from ball playing In 114 and 11T will be tl&.Mu, or 17,760 per seaaon. Other Bis; Salaries. Ty Cobb's salary Is reported to be in the neighborhood of 116.000. Th aged llonus Wagner will get (10,000 this sea son. Lajole's contract calls for some thing like 18.000. Joe Tinker gets .11000. Johnny Ever $10,090 and ' Kd Konetchy, with the IMttftds laat year, will get IS.fcU from the 1914 and 1917 Braves. "Hhrtnklng Violet" wants everyone to know he's a far bettar gardener than Tria Speaker ever hoped to be, yet Speaker will get a salary far beyond that of Kauffa. The atar of the Red Box haa been offered P.OV, and the chances are that he will aouept, drsplte the fact that he's balking at the cut from 1,&U0 of last year and the season before. Eddie Collins la reported to be draw ing f 10, 000. Joe Jarkaon gets P.M. Roger recklnpeugh, the Yankee shortstop, Just aa ordinary player, has a contract call ing for 17,000.

But now comes Eari Beasley of Syra cuse, Neb., with some competition. Beas ley hss purchased Karl Jr., a pacer wltn a wln-rac mark of 1:024 en 4 mil track. Thla mark Is better than any Columbia Ktr or McKinney ha mad so the Bo- hanon-Dennlson horses won't hav It all their own way this year. Besaley now has his nag In training at Syracua.

Connie Mack Only Man with Nerve Enough to Ride with Bourgeois Henry J. Bourgeois, backer of the Bour gele team In the Greater Omaha league, once lived In Milwaukee. He waa well knwwn In Milwaukee. There's a reason, as the late lamented Mr. Poet said on his billboards. For Bourgeois owned a trotting mar that waa about the friskiest, wild, un ruly, untamed, turbulent, violent and un restrained steed that ever wore steel shoes. Also Bourgeois was regarded by the safety-first believing oltlsens as tbs most reckless, rash, heedless. Imprudent, Improvident and Indiscreet driver ever permitted to roam at large. liourgeos' chief delight In life was to hitch his mare to a smart rig and pilot her around the streets of Milwaukee at a clip that would make Ralph Ie Talma turn green with envy and start the peaceful pedest liana to scaling the near est telegraph poles. There waa only one man In the city cf &3 During the coming summer, Kahan amoku, will visit the United Hlates anJ meet lome of the leading swimmers here.

OMAHA MAT FANS TO LINCOLN i i Special Train Will Carry Supporters of Joe Stecher to See Nebraikan Tangle with Ordeman. 0BDEMAN IS CLASSY GRAPPLE R, Omaha mat fans are preparing to hike for Lincoln Friday night to see Joe Stecher and Henry Ordeman do battle on the padded mat In the Auditorium of that city. A special train will leave Omaha over the Burlington Just before the match and will return to Omaha Imme diately afterward. A big block Of aeats Is on sale th Merchants hotel, so that the local followers of ths grappling game can obtain choice seats without a scramble after they arrive in the Cap itol City. It is expected soms 400 fans will go from Omsha. Ordeman Is to all appearances the toughest problem Stecher has yet to en counter. The Minneapolis man Is a bet ter grappler than Charley Cutler or Adolph Ernst or any of the rest of the orew Jo has found duck soup and If anybody- can give the Nebraskan a run for his money, Ordeman is the chop. Ordeman has been training faithfully for soma time, so his manager says, snd haa figured out a line of defense which he believes will defeat the scissors hold. Henry even says Stecher will full Into a trap If he tries ths scissors, that's how confident he is. So It may be Nebraska fans will see something they never saw before when the bout comes off Friday Bight. Ordeman haa defeated such men as Cut ler, Roller. WVstergaard, Beell. Olson. Pardello, DeRouen, Managoff and others, and should make Stecher hustle. Earl Caddock and Hussane Matched to , Meet in the Bluffs Earl Caddock, th Anita. Ia.. grappler. and Youslff Hussane, the terrible Turk, hav been matched to wrestle at Council Bluffs on April IT. While no official an nouncement of the match has been made aa yet. the news Is current in. local wrest ling circles and believed to be authentic. Caddock and Hussane were matched one before to meet In the lilutfs on February T, but Illness of Caddock forced a postponement of the event. Omaha fans would like to see Caddock and Hus. san tangle as such a match would give a good Una on Caddock's prowess. Caddock. It Is said, now weighs over 190 pounis. The increase In weight will mean that Earl will not be handicapped in meeting the heavy chapa aa he has In the past, weighing as h did, around the 185 mark. French Billiard Champion to Play Cochran in Omaha Ftrmln Casslgnol. champion billlnrdlst of Europe and challenger of Willie Hopp and Welker Cochran, the Hawk eye boy wonder, have been scheduled to plsy two matches at the Fontenelle hotel on April 12 and 11. The match will bo played In the Fontenelle ball room" which will accommodate a large crowd. . .S . Milwaukee who had sufficient nerve to ride with Bourgeois. That man was Connie Mack, manager of the Milwaukee elub at that time and now manager of the Philadelphia AthleUca. Connie waa the only companion Bourgeois ever had when he went riding. ' Bourgeois once asked Connie why he was willing to take such long chances. Connie's reply was typical of the Connie we read about. "Well. I guess your life is worth as much as mine and If you can afford to gamble on It, I can, too.' friends. They correspond regularly and Bourgeois acts as a volunteer scout for Connie In Omsha. So any local youth who makes a favorable Impression In th eyea of Hourgeola will likely get a chance lu the 1 !g leaguea, because iiourgeols la one of the beat baae ball boosters In tke country and he never mlases a chance te help the great old game along. ;j nit By Fiti S.

Horsemen and harness racing patroni and devotees In this section of the coun try are unanimously of the opinion that this will be the greate.1t year In the his tory of Nebraska for the "sport of kings." There Is no escsplng th fact that pros pects never looked brighter for the har neas racing game, not only In th middle west, but In-all sections of the country. And there never waa a season in the annals of harness racing In the middle west when the prospects loomed up so favorably for Omaha to shine and shine brightly In ths firmament of real, classy horse racing. In the parlance of horsedom, It looks like a "blue-ribbon year" for Omaha. Cold, hard, logical f.icts are presented by harness racing enthusiasts as to why the game this year should "go big" as neverbefore. For th first time in the history of the sport Nebraska will be represented with a track on the Great' Western circuit Omaha. - Stake Is nlaher. Never before In thla state has a harness horse had the opportunity to race far a :.0o stake. The highest stake hupg up heretofore was 11,000. - There are more high -class record horses In training at the pit sent time at the East Omaha track than at any other point In the middle west. The classy harness racing which Omahans this season will have the op portunity to witness was brought home with significant conviction by the recent return of Otis M. Smith, secretary of the Omaha Driving club, from th meeting of four Great Western circuit secretaries and superintendents cf speed which was held at Galesburg, III. Secretaries Meet. Track secretaries representing clubs at Omaha. Davenport, la., and Oalesburg and Peoria, III., attended the meeting and arranged for the claase-t and purses.
