VVclterweights and bantams deco i ate the program, and it would not he surprising if some o them didn't decorate the floor before their re spective bouts come to a close over the 10-round route. . Plenty Interest in Show. ' Boxing shows have been staged in Omaha nrevious to this evening s knuckle whirling eutcrtainment, but never has there been such a great ' amount of interest aroused over three 10-round fitrhts as there has been over tonight's bouts. Betting on th Schlaifer-Logan affair is on an even basis, and there seems to be plenty of Schlaifer monev in sight. - How. ever, the bovs who like to take chances are not giving any odds, Gunner Joe Quinn rules the favorite over Navy .Rostan, while Frankie Scbmalzer is the choice of the major ity of fans in his bout with Earl Puryear. Without a doubt the fistic encoun- ter that is attracting the attention among the "heme guard" is the 10- round leather pushing Dattie Detween "Kid Schlaifcr and Bud Logan, the latter a veteran of many ring affairs large and small, and the former a youngster who is starting his climb up the pugilistic ladder. logan ciever scrapper. Logan has met and defeated some of the country s best welterweights during his ring career, and is mighty clever with his dukes. He uses his head for something besides parking his kelly, and is considered a pret ty smart ring pcrujiiuci. Schlaifcr, on the other hand, is of the slugging type of fighter; one of those scrappers who delights in wading into his opponent from the start. . The Kid ' isn t blessed with ring science, but packs a wicked wallop' iu either mitt .or refer ence regarding the last statement we refer you to Gunner Joe Quinn, who closed his glimmers and saw the northern lights- after Schlaifer had bounced his right off the Guni r.er's law. With Schlaifer possessed of a pair of TNT dukes and Logan a dev. er and smart ring general, the lat ter will no doubt attempt to outbox his opponent and stay as tar away from the "Kid's" lefts and rights as possible. '')."' Rostan Meets. Quin. The semiwindup brings together Navy Rostan of Chicago-and Gun ner Joe Quinn of St. .Paul, a pair of bard-hitting welterweights, who are capable of staging a rip-snortin good battle. Earl Puryear, Denver bantam weight, and Frankie Schmalzer of Milwaukee, meet in the first 10- round affair.

Harrard CniTetsU.J Major Leagues Raise Class A A Draft Price "Big Three" Consent to BoosL Ante After All-Day Ses sionDeclare Tearney Plan One-Sided. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bet ItAnul Wire Chicago, Jan. 8. What the majors insist will be their last concessions to get all. the minor leagues to sub scribe to the draft was made Satur day when Ban Johnson, American league head, and John Heydler, Na tional league chief, met with Com missioner Landis. This peace offer ing came in the form of a decision by the "big three" to amend the major-minor agreement so that $7,500, instead of $5,000 be the price far drafting a player from Class ,AA leagues. The major league chiefs consented to raise the ante only after an all day session, the bigger part of which was taken ud bv John Conway loole, president of the International league and President Tom Hickey of the American association, cxplain ingjust why their circuits have for the past year refused to recognize the right of the big fellows to select one player from each club, annually, Both Hickey and loole expressed a belief that the raise to $7,500 might satisfy their respective club owners. The matter will have to be put before these men and also before the major league owners who may not , take kindly to it. Johnson and Heydler were none too willing to accept it, but agreed when Landis suggested tha the amendment 7 be so worded thai jWier major can withdraw prior to January 1. 1923. The $7,500 feature probably will satisfy the AA owners. In their recent meeting here they turned down the draft question, but this was prin cipals because some of the owners thought $5,000 was not enough. I he International may -be willing to do as the American association does, but nothing is known .of the Pacific coast league's attitude. The latter circuit has been coining a lot of talk about becoming a major so may not want to submit to the process under any conditions. The "big three . offered no. infor mation as to the fate of the proposal recently submitted by Al Tearney, president of the Western and lhree Eye leagues, the only other leagues not within the , scope of the dratt.

Whether Paddock niak good as a successor to Ted Meredith at this distance or not, he already has proven to be the daddy of them all over the short dash route. Jack Rabbit is Outdone. While the sorrel-topped Califcrnian vas speeding over the tar we.?t courses like a scared jack rabbit, the eastern section also presented a won der athlete for the awed respect of athletics followers. Edward (Ned) Gourdin, colored jumper, runner and all around star of the Harvard university track team, was the out- tanding performer of the season m his section. While Paddock was making his istortc attempts against the sprint ing records on the coast, uourdui, who is one of the best-liked athletes in the game, achieved the ambition of his career when he knocked off its pedestal the world's broad jump rec ord which had stood for 20 years. The great colored athlete leapei the distance of 2o feet 3 inches dur ing. the international intercollegiate meet between the combined Yale- Harvard team and the joint Oxford' Cambridge outfit last July 23 at Bos ton.

Facts You Should Know About Basket Ball Tex Rickard claims the champion ship in the prcTTnotion of sports. He lays claim to the title by reason of the fact that he has entertained no fewer than 2,247,127 persons in the last IS months. He has swelled Uncle Sam's coffers to the amount of $535,317.15 in taxes, part of whHi went to Father Knickerbocker for the state tax. In addition to this. Tex paid $300,000 in taxes for the Dempsey-Carpentier world's heavy weight battle. . which was staged ii Jersey 'City last July. During that space of time Rickard staged several boxing and wrestling championships, opened the largest swimming pool in the world, put his shoulder be hind amateur sports, including swim ming and boxing, and popularizing professional basket ball.

' r4 Cook Meet Today in London Ring Tommy Gibbons Afraid the Frenchman Will Lose and Put Damper on Battle in Thia Country. , By AL SPINK. TOM GIBBON'S, best of all the heavyweight pugilists with the ingle exception of Jack Demp- sey, is back in Chicago watching the fight which is to take place in Lon don, England, today between Georges Carpenticr, once the idol of France, and George Cook, the Australian heavyweight. It has been rumored that this fight may not take place, but that it is assured proved by th fact that Cook backers mad Carpentier put up a forfeit of 55,000 francs to insure the Frenchman' appearance in the ring. It mav be sai that Caipcniier. has lost popular ity ' aniong his countrymen,- ow ing to his failure to box before th French clubs, several of which bid for' his services, but . were turned down by Dcschamps, his manager Signed to Meet Georges. , Long-ago Gibbons signed up will Tex Rickard to meet Carpentier in Madson Square garden in New York in .February. ... Now Gibbons is wondering what will happen if the Australian -heavy weight whips the Frenchman: . ' Gibbons is afraid that if Careen tier ' is beaten by Cook that he will retuse to come to this- country to fight again. In fact, if Carpentier loses to. Look,, Uibbons will. not care much what becomes of the French man, for if he is beaten by the Aus tralian he will not be much of i card on this side. . If Georges wins today, however, it win make Ins proposed bout with Gibbons on this side all the more interesting. Carpentier in Bad. Just now Carpentier is in bad with his countrymen. They wanted Georges to show his wares at home after his fight with Dempsey on this side, but the frenchman refused to. appear at home against any sort of an op ponent without a big purse was guaranteed. As the big purse was not forth coming, Georges has not appeared at home. ' The French people feel hurt in consequence, and they say that now that Georges has1 gone away to Eng land and America they do not care if he never comes back. Unlike the sports of America, the French sports arc a temperamental lot, just as likely to pull a national hero off his'pedtttat if the fancy kei them, it they are to elevate him on one, and they take it rather ill that the much-belauded Georges has grown so commercial that the home purtn are no tecr big enough to attract him. The French people were especially lnaitcnt on George fighting Ted Lewis, the ohj welter and middle, weight champiiMt, . Not Real Contender. Here in America the fight cxer(i and fans refute riously any more tender either in ,io take Lewis ic- a lirat-class con- ihc welter or the middleweight ranlls, and they would not give a penny yo ce a match be tween him and Carpentier. Lewis' last appearance in an American ring induVited that he had gone back to an ex lent that num bered him among i ic also-rans for good. Yet on his rcturi. to England he grabbed the weld r and middle weight titles by tlfilvively dcftaling the British holders o those honors, and followed up thescsucrc!isc by stopping lighj-hcavywci'ht Uoy Mc Cormick. I It was this last victoryliat causeJ the surprised Britons to fiWurc Ted as a sure-enough wondcniVan and worthy opponent for Carpciiti So their plan is to match Cwrpcn tier for a fight with Lewis in iV'g- land in the event Georges winsNjn bis battle with the Australian loda Greater Omaha Cage League Will Start Hay; January 19 .The',- revived '..Greater Omaha league,-comprising four teams, will open, its schedule January 19 with c!aslie..betveen the Omaha Athletic club .-. and the Beddeos and the Knights of Columbus and Metcalfs.
