Omaha University
Has Material for
Fast Caging Team
Basket ball at the University of
Omaha the last three years has been
in a class with the best teams in the
country, and, according to dope, this
should be its banner year. With five
letter men and a wealth of new. ma
terial, Coach Adams will have a
team which fans hope will go
through the season undefeated.
As the Maroons are out of the
state conference it will mean better
games for the locals. Kansas City
university will be seen in action on
the local's court this winter, as will
Trinity, Western Union. Buna Vista,
Lombard, Tarkio and several other
-larger schools.

Championship Teams of Amateur
Base Ball Association Will Get
Prizes for Capturing Title Game
FFICIALS of the
Municipal Amateur
Base Ball association,
the governing body of
amateur base ball in
Omaha, at their meet
ing last night at the
city hall, decided
. unanimously to award
the three local cham
pionship teams of the 1921 season
with prizes.
The directors decided to award the
twelve members of the Christ Child
Center team, champions of the Gate
City, class C league, with gold
watches.
Gold balls, similar to those given
the Bowen Furniture company last
season, will be given the Drive-It-
Omaha Western League Club Signs
Up "Babe Ruth
Mike Finn has signed up the
Babe Ruth of the ground keepers.
He is Jim Danbcrry, formerly of the
Joplin base ball club.
Danberry, who used to play base
tall when players wore whiskers,
has been ground keeper at Miners'
park since it was established. He
came to that club from Detroit.
Time and again Dan has refused
jobs in the major leagues. Just last
spring he turned down a job with
Detroit, all because he wanted to see
the Miners win a pennant.
Nothing would have pulled Dan
away from Joplin, so attached had
he become to it, except the very
thing that happened. In its flound
erings this fall to stay in the league
the club went into control of the
Tom Hayden regime.
First Pro Grid
Game Here

When the Yankees and All Stars
clash over the pigskin at Rourke
park on November 6, it will Oma-
ha's introduction o semi-pro and I
professional foot ball. George Carey
of the Chamber of Commerce has
lent his efforts toward opening pro
fessional foot ball in Omaha. There
are at least a dozen amateur teams
that are tending toward professional
foot ball, it was explained by Harry
(Hap) Williams, captain of of Yan
kees, and Phil Lynch, captain of the
All Jjfers.

It was decided to award a pennant
to the winners of the St. Louis ama
teur base ball association. President
Al Scott, who presided at the meet
ing, appointed Robert Kroll, Frank
Jacobs and Jake Isaacson on the
committee to purchase these prizes.
The annual election ' of officers
was postponed. The officers will
be elected at a banquet to be held
soon, at which time the members of
the Drive-It-Yourselfs. W. O. W.
Headquarters and Christ Child Cen
ters teams will be the guests of the
association.
of Groundkeppers"
Tom and Dan aren't on speaking
terms and Dan never liked to work
for a boss he couldn't be "chummy
with, so he made known he was
open for a job and Mike signed him
up.
Not only has Joplin . lost a real
ground tiller, but it has lost a big
drawinji card, for Dan is a real co
median. He isn't funny intention
ally. And the fans used to turn
out to see Dan's cappers when the
dub from the Missouri city got in
hot water.
Dan has worn the same rabbit
foot around his neck for 40 years.
Pie says it brought him good .luck
when he was a player and that it
still acts as a charm for the club
for which he is working.

girls basket ball team was defeated
for the .first time Thursday, losing
to the Oxford girls, 19 to 17. Stam
ford was handicapped owing to the
fact that the game was played on an
outside court while the rest of their
games have been played indoors.
The playing of Clara Rassmussen
and Pauline Harry of Stamford was
a feature of the game. The locals

Beatrice C. of. C. Directors
Behind Base Ball Club
Beatrice, Neb., Oct 29. (Special.)
The board of directors of th2
Chamber of Commerce held a meet
ing and decided to back Beatrice in
its efforts to put a first class ball
club in the field next season in the
proposed Nebraska State league.
Seen By Bee Cartoonist
as the day he drove his first race,
which occurred at Osnabruck Cen
ter. Canada.
He was just 16 years old and was
rubbing horses for his uncle, Orcn
Partridge, who trained a stable of
horses at Canton, N. Y., some 40
years or more ago.
A Canadian had sent a little brown
mare called Formoso to Partridge to
train and race, and on July 1. which
is Dominion day in Canada, the mare
was to start in a $200 three-cornered
match race.
Youngster Gets Chance.
Mr. Partridge had some races to
drive on July 4 at Canton-, so he rent
young McDonald over to Osnabruck
Center, some 30 miles on the Cana
dian side of the St. Lawrence river,
to drive Formoso.
Lon drove the mare overland,
hitched to her high-wheeled sulky,
which was loaded down with the
usual racing paraphernalia that is
now carried in a large trunk for each
horse by the racing stables. Lon
says those Canucks drove all over
him the first heat, knocked five
spokes out of his wheel, and not un
til the owner of the mare succeeded
in getting him a sulky that weighed
90 pounds did he have any chance
whatever of 'winning the race.
The last three heats were won by
young McDonald, best time 2:44,
which is some difference in the time
that Lon has been riding this season
behind Jeanette Rankin (2:04J4).

Outclassed in every department of
the game, Council Bluffs 'High school
eleven were downed for a 38 to 0
victory by the Sullivan-Gilbreth-Bernard
ground-gaining combina
tion of South High at League park
yesterday afternoon.
South resorted to straight foot
ball and did not uncork any of its
aerial tactics it has been practicing
for the last week, due probably to
the large number of Central and

in the background.

Buffalo Favorite
For Pro Laurels
Only Two Teams in Field
With Chance to Lower
Their Banner.
Buffalo continues to sweep all op
position out of the way in the Ameri
can Professional foot ball association
race for national honors and has be
come the logical favorite to win the
title. Strong, opposing elevens
have been unable to make an im
pression on its defense and its of
fensive has run up large scores on
teams earlier in the season considered
championship contenders.
The Bluffs have not met Akron or
the Staleys of Chicago, the only
elevens who appear to have a chance
to lower the Buffalo colors, but com
parative scores give the Buffalos the
edge. They proved their class last
Sunday by handing the Rochester
team a 28 to 0 beating, a team the
Staleys previously had difficulty in
defeating by a narrow margin.
Canton was eliminated by Akron,
last year's champions, 3 to 0, but put
up such a hard battle that leading
elevens will find it difficult to keep
their slates clean when thew meet
the Bulldogs. The Saieys meet
Canton Sunday and the former must
win to stay in the running.
Billy Gibson, manager of Benny
Leonard, has assumed the manage
ment of the New York Giants,
teamed with Charlie Brickley, the
former Ail-American halfback. The
Giants have not had an auspicious
beginning but Gibson and Brickley
are lining up talent in the hope of
strengthening the team. The New
Yorkers are being pointed for the
Union A. A. team of Philadelphia.
Clabby No Longer
Dashing Fighter
Middleweight Champion of
i Australia Knocked Out by
Younger Opponent
Sydney, N. S., Oct. 29. Jimmy
Clabby is through as a boxed. For
the first time in his career since his
apprentice days' in 1907 he was
knocked out in his battle with Frank
weight championship of Australia,
here recently. The end occurred in
the 15th round, and Clabby never
had a chance to win, even though his
opponent in no way classed with
Billy Shade, with whom Clabby
stuck a few months ago.
: A few of Clabby's friends insist
the result does not mean his retire
ment from the game, but the major
ity of fans believe it is the end.
Clabby can no longer ship himself
into shape for a bruising battle and
he shrinks from the grind necessary
to get into fighting condition. There
is no vestige of that brilliancy left
that marked Jimmy when he came
to Australia eleven years ago.
When Clabby was brought here
then by H. D. Mcintosh it was in
is'sted by many that he was the
equal of Griffo, Australia's idol, r.nd
some went so far as to say that he
was even more brilliant than the
oldtime featherweight. However,
Jimmy has faded greatly during that
time and finis-may now be written
after his boxing career.

War Looms Over
Lincoln Franchise
Omaha, Neb., Oct. 29. The new
ly organized Nebraska State Base
Ball league and the Western league
are going to start throwing shrap
nel at each other in what promises
to be another one of those well
known base ball wars.
According to information gather
ed in this burg, the promoters of
the Nebraska State league, which
was organized with six teams in
the fold here Friday night, are go
in gto start making trouble for tne
Western league through Judge K.
M. Landis, high commissioner of
base ball.
The reason for all this action on
the part of the newly organized
stateleague is that it claims the
Western league has paid "protec
tion" money to keep Lincoln clean
as far as organized base ball is
concerned for a Western league
team.
It is the opinion of Charles Moon
of this city, one of the organizers
of the state league, that the Ne
braska loop officials will, not find
any trouble in securing permission
to operate in this state under the
name of "Nebraska State league."
However, should the Western
league president attempt to check
the progress of the state league, then
President Charles J. Miles will be

Crimson's Rally.
Cambridge, Mac.. Oct. .Cen
tre college of Danvillf, Ky., scored
a remarkable foot ball triumph in
the Harvard stadium here this after
noon, defeating the Crim.son, 6 to 0,
as the result of a touchdown made
by "11" McMilIin. It was the first
defeat sustained by Harvard in the
stadium since the tcasnn of 1316.
The Centre college team was a
far superior aggregation than the
one defeated, 31 to 14. on the same
field a year ago. Harvard was gen
erally outplayed by the so-called
"I'raying Colonels," but a desperate
ralyy in the final period might have
changed the result except for a
penalty.
A forward pass, Buell to Church
ill, gave Harvard the ball on Cen
tre's - 3-yard line, but offside play
caused a 5-yard penalty and a sec
ond attempt from Centre's 35-yard
line was intercepted by liartlctt.
The game ended shortly afterward.
Just before McMilIin made his
spectacular run, Harvard had been
penalized 15 yards for tripping.
Later Centre was twice penalized
15 yards for holding.
