X uled for 10 round,
fl J hut by all the
' I law. rulM and
n , I regulation! of the
24 loot arena, may
end any time the
referee icti tit to
interfere.
In the leml-
wimtu of the
"fiih-day" card
Karl I'uryrar, the
Denver bantam
who Rained eon
tiderable public
ity by itaeins i
private battle
with Mr i. Puryrar, will attempt to
tick hi left mitt into the (act of
Joey Srhwarz, the Minneapolis
boxer-fighter. Thia mill it down for
10 rounds and ahoutd grind out some
interesting bits of fistic battling.
v Flytjn to Meet Anderson.
The show opener will brine to
getlicr Jim Flynn, the Tueblo fire
man, and Ollie Anderson. This bout
should be a regular slug 'em and
drag 'em out affair. Both are heavy
weights and don't have to do a lot
of training or "drying" out the day
ot the battle to make weight.
Like the other two bouts on Fri
day's program, the Andcrson-Flynn
setto has been set for 10 round, the
finish to come as soon as one of the
principals takes
or at the end
rounds.
1 j
a lU-count slumber
of 10 three-minute
Flynn is a fire
man, hailing from
Pueblo. He is a
husky creature,
and, if he still fol-
1 o w s his trade,
s ho u 1 d put out
Ollie some time
before the ten
rounds are finish
ed. Most Pueblo
firemen are fast
workers.
The Schlatter
O'Keefe bout
. Earl Puryear. should be the big
noise of the evening. While the "Kid"
has a victory to his credit over the
"Fighting Irishman," the local battler
had to extend himself from the start
of their 10-round bout to the finish
in order to win over the Chicago
welterweight. i
Battling Mitchell.
Dennie has met and defeated most
all of the leading welterweights of
the country., However, a great ma
jority of his bouts in 1920 and 1921
were of the no-decision variety. Last
'season he battled Pinkey Mitchell in
a 10-round no-decision bout in Mil
waukee, and, according to the fistic
scribes, lost 'by a1 shade.
It was during the Mitchell bout
that O'Keefe brojee both, hands. He
was out of the game for more than
six months. ' ,
. The Chicago welterweight is the
same type of fighter as Schlaifer.
Both boys are agressive and- hard
hitting battlers, always willing to take
a couple of wallops in order to land
a good, stiff punch. .
O'Keefe is 25 years old and started
propelling his dukes in 1914. He won
the amateur, lightweight title of Chi
cago in 1915 and turned professional
in : 1916. During the war he was a
boxing instructor at one of the camps,
and following the armistice he was
selected to compete ' in the inter
allied tournament.
Promoter Bernie Boyle oi. the
World War Veterans has promised
the winner of the Schlaifer-O'Keefe
bout a match with Frankie Schoell,
the Buffalo welterweight, who earned
a "home town'' decision over Dave
Shade. '

Here's three University of Ne
braska Medical college tracksters
who were bright lights in the annual
inter-fraternity "Medic track meet
held last week at the Crcighton ath
letic field.
Lear, varsity "Medic." is one of
the college's best track performers.
In an exhibition 60-yard high hurdle
race Lear cleared the sticks in seven
and four-fifths seconds, considered
good time.
Kcnner, Phi Rho, was the individ
ual point winner of the meet. He
scored Vi of his team's 44 points.
The Phi Rhos came in second.
Gait, last year's high man, placed
second as individual point winner
this season. He scored a total of 17
points. Gait was flying the colors
of the Phi Chi "frat," which won the
meet, with a total of 51 points. '

being made, chiefy by
managers, about the
lively baseball which
attained such notori
ety a couple of sea
son's ago and which is
supposed to have been
robbed of some of its
sprightliness this year.
borne pilots oi major league teams
have voiced disbelief in the announce
ments of the ball makers that the
spheres had been toned down during
the winter.
On the face of the returns, how
ever, it would look to a man up a
tree as if the "lively ball" was now
being used chiefly as an alibi for
pitchers who get trimmed hard. If
the slabmen themselves don't pull
the excuse, their managers do. It is
as convenient an alibi as the freak
delivery used to be when a star batsman-struck
out in a pinch.'
iince the rule was passed compel-
ng umpires to penalize freak deliv

that moth-eaten excuse. But there
no way to diagnose the inside of a

Some Dope on Outdoor Equipment
IF there ever was a year when the
' outdoorsman can go on his vaca
, tion rigged with a maximum
amount of A-l equipment, this is it.
There arc more new and improved
outing articles on the market than
you can shake a stick at Honestly,
if these .manufacturers don't quit
turning out new things designed to
make a fishing, motoring or camping
trip as comfortable as staying at
home there won't be an edge left on
this- stunt of going to the woods.
: To look through an outdoor maga
zine and studiously observe the ads
'(which we all do, especially at this
time of the year) is like reading a
house furnishing catalog, what with
the alluring reading matter about
collapsible gasoline stoves, comfort
able air beds as easy as a feather
bed, and - "ice box" lunch baskets.
The only thing that I haven't seen
advertised is a tent with hot and cold
running water in it When that ar
rives the railroads will be ruined;
the .resort owners up north will then
have to bring their lakes to the
camper instead of the camper going
tc the lakes. The popularity of mo
tor camping has certainly stirred up
the tent makers until there is an
assortment on the market with so
many varieties that the most fas
tidious outdoorsman can now be sat
isfied, .
' Qe of the neatest little inventions
-fai wjll make camping easier, and
very likely more popular is the small,
folding gasoline f stove t which will
burn whether it rains or shines. We
have just recently tried out one of
these and they sure are nifty.; They
can be started and operated in any
kind of weather and produce a hot
fire on short notice.- Quite as handy
as the stove itself is the folding
even which , goes with tbis Auto
Kamp Kook Kit that we have. With
this little oven' you can turn out a
pan of biscuits or bake a fish just
like on the old gas stove at home."
I can see where many ' a camper
will welcome one of these outfits, as
it means that, the poor cook (and
all of us just have to take our turn
wielding the skillet in camp) will
no longer have to be fumigated by
wood smoke a couple of hours each
day and emerge from the fireside red
eyed and half uffocated! Yes, sir,
the little gasoline stove which folds
up and weighs little may eventually
displace the old fashioned cooking
fire. At least that's the way it has
tegistered with one camper that we
tnow "of. But, of course, stove or
no stove, nothing will ever take the
place of the fragrant, cheery camp
fire which every true' outdoorsman
loves after the sun has gone down.
No camp is complete Without one,
no camp should be without one.
Tht Kansas City Gas company

per 1,000 feet to 85 cents.
some pitchers seem to be able to use
it without getting batted all over the
map. There was only a lonely no-hit
game all last year in the two major
leagues. Two of them were pitched
in the majors this year before the
season was a month old. Perhaps the
alibi slabmen will explain that by
claiming the machine which Winds
the balls has become as tempera
mental as the players themselves,
particularly those wearing the mantle
of champions.
One explanation which probably
will not set well either with the
pitchers or the rooters of today is
that the slabmen may not be as great
artists as those of a decade or more
ago. ' ;v -
Of course' it would be an unjust
comparison to go back to the davs
of Charley Radbourne and revive his
record of winning 60 games in one
season, in spite of the fact he pitched
22 consecutive games for the old
Providence champions of the Na
tional league in 1884. The pitching
distance was much shorter in those
days than it is now, and ball players
Were not so finely trained that they
took to the hospital for the slightest
ailment or injury.' s. .r.
Oldtimers Worked Fifty Games.
But one does not have to go far
back into history to find the records
of Christy Mathewson, Ed Walsh,
Mordecai Brown and a considerable
string of slabmen who did not think
anything of working in 50 games a
season and found .fault with them
selves if they failed to ring up 30
or more victories each year." ,
Last season the leaders of the ma
jor league slab staffs did not win 30
games. The 19Z1 record in the
American was 27 wins made by
hurlers with first 'division teams be
hind them. Faber's work was really
the best of the young league's pitch
ers, as he 'wow 25 in .front of a
seventh place outfit. That was more
than any. pitcher in the National
leacrue recorded in the "won" column.
The passing of the "iron . men"
from the green diamond and the fact
that today a manager is compelled
to fill his superstructure with inferior
material may be the reason why the
box scores of one day can show a no
hit performance by one pitcher and
a flock of hits by some other team
against a trio or quartet of slabmen.
George Little to Aid Yost
as Michigan Coach
' George E. Little, director of ath
letics and football coach at Miami
university, announced that he had ac
cepted an offer from Michigan uni
versity to become assistant director
of college athletics there and also
assistant football coach.
Little was in conference with
"Hurry Up" Yost, athletic director at
Michigan, recently, but nothing was
said about him going to the Ann Ar
bor institution at the time. Little
went to Ames, la., to look over an
offer to become head coach at the
agricultural college there, but the sal
ary offered was below Mr. Little's
expectations. He therefore decided
to fall back on the Michigan offer
and will work under. Yost,

If I Jack Dempsey is correctly
quoted as declaring that he would
fight , Carpentier . anywhere desired
and also permit the Frenchman to
select the referee, then the worlds
champion will do well to reconsider
his announcement. . '-
If he consented to' such an ar
rangement the crown that now sits
so securely on the head of the title
holder would be . in serious danger
of ah abrupt removal.
Under" the .rules as. enforced in
Europe a boxer may be disqualified
for 'making faces at his opponent,
and if Jack Dempsey tried a rabbit
killer on Carpentier while an Eng
lish or French referee was in the
ring, the American would be divested
of his title in a hurry.
. Boxers have frequently been dis
qualified in Europe for holding, and
a blow struck at a boxer who may
be down or about to rise after a
knockdown - is sure to result in a
disqualification, even . though the
blow fails to land.
In fact, Dempsey would be in con
stant danger of a decision of foul,
and the ,matching of the men over
in Europe would open the door to
a flood of plans for the dethrone
ment 'of the American. .

Pawnee City, Neb., May 20.
(Special.) The 1922 state high
school track meet has been staged
and the records still show that Lyle
Leibendorfer of Pawnee City holds
the state record in the broad jump.
Leibendorfer jumped 21 feet, two
and one-half inches at ' the . state
meet in 1911, 11 years ago, and no
one has beat it yet. Pawnee' City
held the record for the mite run also
at that time, but that record has been

Talks to Ilinwelf
State League Managers
, , How to Practice.
In the first of these suggestions
ion how to practice, in which I spoke
of an individual three-Hag , course,
ray idea was to put the player to
work with his irons. Most players
do a good deal of practice swinging,
but the observer can see that it is
mostly done with wooden clubs.
The golfer doesn't realize it, per
haps, but -the hard clubs in golf are
the irons, and, strangely enough, the
farther down the fairway you go the
harder it becomes to handle the club
properly right down to ' the putter,
the last iron and the most baffling
club of all. If you observe the
players at tournaments it will strike
you perhaps . as , strange that you
never see one practicing with a
wood club always with irons. The
club usually has to hang up a list of
prizes for a driving contest in order
to get the wood clubs into play at
all.. The ordinary player can surely
get a good tip from that.
The three-flag course should give
the player a good daily dose of full
iron practice, with the long shot, the
medium shot and the short one.
Following this he will benefit great
ly by centering on 24 full mashie
shots That completed, he should
next go to one of the greens. ,
In your practice up to this point
you may have tired yourself some,
but now you'll begin to sweat
now we are going to work in ear
nest The little three-flag course
was merely preliminary.
From the edge of the (Teen drop 13
balla at different apota in tho aanda of
tha bunkers. Don't pick easy apota pnt
them In tba worst placea yon can find In
tha bunker, placea that would aeam to
maka a recovery almost Impossible. Ton
can trust tha ball alwaya to choose aucb
a plaee for Ita resting place when it finds
the bunker in actual play. Now get down
into the traps and play the balla up to
the-green to tha very best cf your ability.
Make each shot an individual affair and
atrip the shot in band of all relation to
the previous ahot. Thia kind of practice
la perhapa tha toughest of all, but it
may ease it eome for you to reflect that
Sir Arthur Balfour, the British statesmen,
began his golf career in the traps and
wasn't permitted to hit a ball from, any

After thia practice at the traps, throw
12 balls out Into aome long graaa. Execute
the greatest of care in playing theae balla
clear up to the cup. After, they have been
holed take six ot the balla and toaa them
out from the green.. Keep the balla fairly
close to the edge of the green, the pur
pose now being to ' execute six run-up
shots. V Do not make this ahot long enough
to constitute a pitch or a chip.
Now, 48 putts. Make 12 long putts from
opposite sides of the hole, and follow
these with 12 short putts from each aido
of the hole. No matter what happens,
alnk every one of the putta. and aink each
one carefully and deliberately. Do not do
It looaely or carelessly. Far better not
to waste your' time than do It without
sincere effort and concentration of pur
pose. Clrcumstancea muat In all cases deter
mine the amount ot practice or the time
that can be given it. Thus the player may
Increase or cut the number of shots here
with prescribed, but should not let down
In any particular on the method of prac
tice. Miaa Alexa Stirling once declared
that ahe accomplished all her golf ex
cellence with practically no practice. Per
hapa ahe was the one of the fortunate few
who need tut little practice, like "Bob"
Gardner, the superb Chicago golfer. But
Miaa Stirling la a mualclan. In mualc. I
dare Bay, ahe puta a different Interpreta
tion on the term practice, for accomplished
musicians are the most practiced people I
know. The amount of time given by
professional musicians to acalea la almost
past comprehension.
And that's the way it Is with polf. Get
out on the three-flag course, and "run
your acalea." Plsy them over and over
until you get so you can do things "the
way the teacher likea to see them done."
Then. Ilka Miaa Stirling, great golfer and
accomplished musician, almost before you
realize what haa happened you will have
atepped forth from the awollen ranks of
the ordinary and will have become an ax
pert golfer.
Oolf practice makei profanity but It at

with a devotion only possible in rac

all through the long ride over the
mountains, on the way to Churchill
Downs, and talked to and petted him.
Charley, since the colt came to
Hurley's barn nearly a year ago. has
never been absent from him a day.
"Did you ever sec a horse talk to
himself?" Charley said onre. "Well,
that one docs. When he stands
there working his lips he's talking to
himself. .Sometimes I've seen him
stand in his stall for 20 -minutes
and do that. He never makes a
fuss around the barn at night cither,
like the other horses do; lie always
behaves himself. I know, because
his stall is right next to my room.
Uillord, the bodyguard, says he can
tell time.
"He's as regular as a clock. He's
the alarm clock for the stable, for
every morning at 4 he whinners to
wake us up.

tell nie different."

St. I.oui. M. Mav 20. At lrat
two prominent local golfers probably
will enter the national amateur cham
pionship tournament to be held in
Chicago thia summer.
Jimmy Man ion and Dick Bocken
kamp. who contested in the event
here last vear. are making prepara
tions for the Chicago tournament.
Both performed well in the tourna
ment 1at season, and it took the
skill of Willie Hunter. British cham
pion, to eliminate Manion on the
dav before the semi-finals.
Manion and Bockenkamp have
hern playing brilliantly in practice
this soring. Manion seldom takrs
mnrp than 70 strokes, no matter how
difficult the course is. Bockenkamn
also has played some Rue rounds
but his work has not been as con
sistent as that of Manion.
