By RALPH WAGNER.
"Kid" Schlatter of Omaha and Frankie Murphy of Denver, who en
gage quite frequently in the gentl art of knucklt whirling, will crawl
through the ropei at the city fight ahed tonight at approximately 9:30,
preparatory to their acheduled 10-round fiatic quarrel.
Said oiurrcl between Mr. Schlai-O
Itr and .Mr. Murphy tonight it jim
exactly the tmru
meeting of thee
two fight en.
Murphy copped
the first battle on
a tout in the
fourth round, all
of which made
the "Kid" lomc
hat peeved.
Ho. ever, they
battled in a 10
I round return go
here early tins
month, and with
the exception of
the fighting in
the intermissions,
the bout was declared a draw.
Murphy won in the intermission
fiRhting, the ''Kid" being more in
clined to pay attention to the referee-
The "wise" birds who like to
wager on the outcome of fistic en
counter can see nothing but . the
word "Murphy"' staring them in the
eyes. When someone pipes about the
"Kid's" chances of capturing the
battle, someone else scz: "I'll flop
a five spot on Murphy." That's all
there is to it. 1
Johnny Crceley, manafter of the
"Kid," is of the opinion that Frankie
will Jo a Steve Brodie tonight, to
M.y nothing of a nose dive. Johnny
informs us that Schlaifer is in dandy
condition and will tip the beam
around 143 pounds at the Business
Wen's gymnasium on Harney street
this afternoon when the- boys shed
the "civics" and weigh in.
Johnny Kanner, boss of Murphy,
is silent, just like a flivver. Kan
ner declared by Mayor mniman
that Murphy will "take" Schlaifer
tonight. Furthermore, lie warns the
"boys" to pick up all Schlaifer
money in sight.
The scmiwindup, which promises
lo be a good mill, brings together
. one . Eddie Anderson of Wyoming
and Frankie Schmalzer, two ban
tamweights. Anderson is a new bird to local
fight fans, while Schmalzer has ap
peared here before.
If Anderson lives up ta his press
agent's yarns. .Schmalzer will
emerge loser. However, the Mil
waukee lad knows a thing or two
about ring battling, by gosh, and
is liable to surprise his opponent.
Johnny Lee needs no introduc
tion to fans, especially those who
visit the Baseball . headquarters,
Sportsman and P. and B. cigar
stores. But for the. benefit of those
who don't know who ' he is, read
on.
Lee is managed by Fred Meycr3.
lie Js a heavyweight, so is Meyers.
Both live ,in Omaha.
Johnny meets Jiminie Jensen, who
belongs to Greeley's stable. Jensen
hasn't had. many ring fights, neither
has1 Lee, so the bout should be a
good one. -, ...
In the first' preliminary, Terry
O'MatloryY and Harry Janncy, both
ofc Omaha, have been secured to
sWat each other with the gloves.
This bout will be sort of an appe
tizer for the cash customers. .
All the -fighters will weigh in at
3 o'clock this afternoon at the Busi
ness Men's Athletic club, formerly
the Black Cat. ,

PF.IU' is taking some chances oi
losiiij? its crown in the college
conference circuit this week
when it engages in games with
boanc and Cotnrr. The Bengal
team will be forced to play on the
Peruvian floor in the Wednesday
night clash, giving the loop leaders
the advantage, lint the Friday night
game with the Cottier live will be
pulled otf on the Bulldog court.
The Bengals 'will also meet their
Waterloo in Wesleyan, should the
Coyotes be able to take the Tigers
to a cleaning. The game Thursday
night between Wesleyan and Doanc
on the Coyote court will go a long
way toward eliminating one of these
teams from the championship race.
The two teams now stand within a
few points of one another, Wesleyan
in second place and Doanc in third,
both menacing the Peruvian strong
hold at the ton, of the league..
During the past week several
changes took place in the circuit.
Midland stepped tip to fourth place,
recuperating from its mid-season
slump and drubbing the Bulldogs,
York and Grand Island. Cotncr
slipped another peg by losing to
both Midland and Wesleyan. Kear
ney walked up to fifth place by ad
ministering two defeats to Chadron,
at Chadron, Friday and Saturday
nights.
Chadron Normal went down to
ninth nlace after taking two trim
mings from the Antelope five, while
York was shoved automatically into
eighth place by the double defeat of
the Eagle team.
Midland college, leader ot the
league for .the first few weeks, took
a midscason drop that almost upset
all the dope on the entire circuit.
lhc recent series ot wins which the
Lutherans were able-to accumulate
have again raised them to an ap
preciable position in the loop and
within hailing distance of the pen
nant. However, three games dropped
by small margins have probably cut
oil all chance for the Midland five
to arrive at the roof of the circuit a
second time.
Kearney was slow in starting on
its streaks of winnings and lost sev
eral games - by small margins also.
The Antelope five has been putting
up some excellent games and has
risen from the lower parts of the
standings to the fifth bunk. Coach
Ozmun's team plays a fast, flashy
game, but its hick seems to have ar
rived too late to catch the pennant
special.
Randolph Wins Game.
Randolph. Neb., Feb. 21. (Special.)
Randolph High snowed under tho fast
Wausa five here, 45.T. The game was
clean and fast. Wausa scored two field
goals in the last half, scoring three foul

the ball through almost at will. The
Randolph girls' team lost to the AVausa
girls. 12-10, in a fast game, an extra five
minutes of play being necessary to play
oft a Ho score. . 'i -
