THE PEE: OMAHA. . WEDNESDAY. A1T.II 12. 192
Major League Baseball Season Opens Today in Four Eastern Cities
Elaborate Ceremonies Will Usher
in Another Pennant Chase for
National and American Clubs
New York, April 11. Major league baseball will make
its 1922 debut in four eastern cities tomorrow afternoon
provided the weather man has been properly placated in
advance.
In the National league the New York Giants will enter
tain the Brooklyn Superbas at the Polo grounds in this city
and Hoston w ill appear against the Philadelphia team on the
latter's field.
American league combinations which will assist in the
opening are the Philadelphia Athletics and Boston Red Sox,
who meet in Boston, and the New York Yankees and Wash
ington Senators, who meet in the Capital city.
In til four cities, elaborate cert - -
nioniM have born plannrd to mark
the beginning of another lung pen
nant chae. and while there i little
likelihood of departure from the
traditional flag-bedecked suikU, Laoii
roncrrt, parades of rival team ami
he official throwing out of hall, the
fans have shown undoubted desire
to witness in person these prelim
inaries and the subsequent diamond
battles.
Expect -Large Attendances.
From all the centers of tomorrow
baseball activity come iniilar talcs
of unusual and urgent demand for
tickets, and it is likely that, given
fair weather, the opening games of
the season will set new attendance
records. The case of the New York
Giants is an example of the interest
heing shown in these initial contests.
For several days past, it' has been
impossible to purchase a reserved
neat or box in the huge baseball
amphitheater at the I'olo grounds,
notwithstanding its seating capacity
of more than 35.000. Hundreds of
prospective coupon buyers have been
turned away empty, handed within
the past 24 hours and it is certain
that there will be a rush for unre
served seats as soon as the gates of
the rrk are flung back early to
morrow morning.
So far as the eastern opening
games are concerned, the teams ao
pcar, fairly well matched in the Na
tional league. Brooklyn had the
edge over the Giants in last year's
series, winning 12 out of 22 games
played. Against the Yankees in the
spring exhibition contests, the Sit
pcrbas won 8 out of 14 played in the
south and on the home diamond.
Boston had decidedly the better or
the Thillies durinar the 121 season,
but Manager Wilhelm has injected
new material into the Quaker team
combination and should offer strong
er opposition than was the case last
vear. '
Ruth Out of Lineup.
While the "New York Americans
will be without the services of
"Babe" Ruth and Bob Meusil. they
should have a slight edge over Wash
ington, especially as Walter John
son is not likely to be on the mound
in the initial contest. The Yankees
took about two-thirds of the 1921
ganfes from Washington. "
Boston and Philadelphia, had a nip
and tuck series last season and while
the Red Sox aopear stronger than
the Athletics, Connie Mack's com
bination may jump into a lead at the
expense , of the Bostonians in the
initial clash.

Ring Champs Are Born,
Not MadeKearns Can 't
Take Credit for Dempsey
By FRANK G. MENKE.
topjrlnht, 1922.
Champions arc born not made.
If you're skeptical, gaze in the general direction of one Jack Kcarns.
For more than a decade he has been frivoling around with ring war
riors. kcepinK ever before him the vision of a champion. Through 10
years Kearns hoped but in vain.
pect after another, taught the puggcr all he knew, schooled him as best
lie could but no champion or near champion resulted.
At last came Jack Dempsey.
Kearns is credited with having made Dempsey the fighter that he is.
It's been said that he picked him up, a raw novice, tutored tutored
and tutored some more and then, presto Dempsey first became a sen
sation and then a champion. All of which made Kearns stand out as a
great manager as a miracle worker in the handling of fighters.
But beyond Dempsey, this manager has developed no one.
But, whether Dempsey was a two-fisted bird before Kearns got him,.
or fought with just one hand, is more
Wants More Champs.
After Kearns had managed Demp
scy to the heights of the knuckle
bruisers' world, he wasn't satisfied
with just one champion. He aspired
to be the boss of other divisional
kings. And his leisure moments
since then have 'been directed along
those lines. .
Everywhere he's wandered, he has
looked around for 'comers." He has
combed the big towns and the
bushes. He has gone hundreds of
miles out of his way to look at fight
ers who were touted to him as won
ders. Here and there he has picked
up a few men who looked to him
like certainties in the matter of belt
winning. And yet every last one ot
them have flivvered and sadly, as
far as championship greatness is con
cerned. Marty Farrell, a lightweight, was
regarded by Kearns as a certain
middleweight champion.- Marty got
a few fights and showed up in fear
ful manner. Then came Joe Ben
jamin, hutrahed by Kearns as the
one man in all the world who could
whip Benny Leonard. He was giv
en several tryotits against ordinary
gladiators and showed up fairly well.
Then he was put to the real test
against Johnny Dundee and was
niftily beaten.
Five Fliwered.
Kearns scooted out to the coast
and picked up a youth named Hy
mie Gold, known as Oakland Jimmy
Duffy. He carted him east and in
formed the "whole world that at last
he had a lightweight wonder. He
gave to Gold all the knowledge that
he could;' tutored, trained and con
ditioned him. Gold, in three fights
since then, suffered two knockouts
and has gone back to the old home
town. .,,
This same Kearns picked up Babe
Golfers Debate Cause of Men's
Superiority in Driving Power
Chicago, April 11. The tremend
ous driving ability of Miss Glenna
Collett of Providence on the golf
links as compared to the average
woman golfer has started a discus-
! sion among golf experts as to why
women cannot drive as tar as men.
The forum also mulled the reason
why the best female golfer could not
score as low as the male champions.
Some of the rumujators held that the
difference was anatomical, others
that it was muscular, while still oth
ers declared the whole difference was
mental.
The anator.:sts contended that
such long drivers as Miss Collett
who can hit the ball 230 yards or
more, as compared to 330 by Jesse
Guilford, national amateur champion;
Miss Marion Hollin, national woman
title holder, and Miss Alexa Sterling,
former champion, were just as strong
muscularly as Harrison Johnston of
St. Paul, who can average 300 yards,
or Robert Gardner of Chicago, who
outdrove Guilford in the finals last
summer of the championship. Tne
difference, they maintained, lay in
the bone and joint structure. They
cited authorities to the effect that a

Princeton Plays Ciants.
New York, April 11. Princeton
university's baseball team came to
the polo grounds today to meet the
Giants in the last game of the pre
season activities of the big league
champions. Yesterday's game be
tween the Giants and Fordhaii was
a farce. The professionals scored
almost at will, the final score being
23 to 2 in their favor.
He grabbed one likely looking pros
or less an incident of this recital
Herman, a bantam, and predicted
that the kid would become a cham
pion. He praised him to all the
heavens. Yet, Herman, aided by all
the knowledge that Kcarns can Im
part, trained under the same system
as -Dempsey, has been, beaten in
quite a few of his starts against even
the' second rate bantams in the cast.
"Jim Dare y," said Kearns, dis
discussing a middleweight which he
picked up, "is a greater at this time
in his career than Dempsey was at
the same time in his career."
! ' Fighters Are Born. .
How funny it sounds in the light
of the present-day events I Dempsey
knocked folks dead with one or two
punches from the day that he don
ned a boxing glove; Darcy, onjhe
other hand, hasn't a sock, is what
you might call uncouth in ring man
ners and has nothing to recommend
him except ability to take punish
ment and willingness to slug.
If Kcarns made Dempsey, why
hasn't he been able to make another
champion in five enthusiastic starts
with lien who were not culls, as
was Dempsey, but men ' who were
presumed Mo be the greatest near
champions in their respective divi
sions? Isn't the answer simply this;
You can't make a fistic champion;
he has to be born that way and
gt-ided by destiny through the years.

dom and strength combinded, so Im
portant to a lusty wallop with a
brassie. They quoted again that the
pelvis was similarly incapable of the
strong pivoting, or body twist, that
helps propel the ball, and added that
the wirin;ss was not so great in the
female ankle for the foot rock or the
wrist snap. They also pointed to
the straight hips of such experts as
James Barnes, national open champion;-
Jock Hutchison, British open
champion, and Willie Hunter. British
amateur title holder, and others, as
proof that the straight lines of a man
were more fitted for long driving
than the modulated structure of
women. ' j
' The psychologists based their ar-;
guments more on the scores of the
two sexes, as long driving does not
necessarily spell victory in golf. They
held that women with ages of
uxorious life behind he-, had never
acquired the leonine courage instilled
in man as the protector of the home,
and that without this courageous de
termination to play boldlv and firmly
under difficulties, woman could not
equal man's par on a golf course.

New York. April II. Jack Demp

left today on the Aquitania to "clean

Jack said he would fight anyone
who appeared willing, but that every
thing was indefinite because neither
he nor his manager, Jack Kcarns,
had any offers for fights on foreign
soil,
Dempsey will tour England. France
and Germany. lie may meet Bom
bardier Welts or Joe Beckett in
London, and it is possible he may
climb into the ring with Georges
Carpcnticr somewhere in France. But
if he meets anyone, he said, it will
be only after a challenge, and after
he has had proper training.
Even the length of his European
trip is problematical, he said, lie
may stay' six, months or a year and
there is a chance he will stay longer.
