THE ALLIANCE HERALD. TUESDAY, APRIL 18. 1022. SPORTS v , Cups Have Arrived for Western Nebr. Track Meet Here Two cups for the western Nebraska track meet have arrived, the meet win ners cup, which was donntetl by the Lions club, and the relay cup, donated by V. R. Harper. The cup for the winner of individual honors, which was jriven by H. F. Thiele, has not come as yet, but will be on display as soon as its arrival. The trophies may now be seen in Thiele's window. The winners cup is about 18 inches in height, and has a long stem, the cup proper being about 8 inches across the top. Mr. Harper's relay cup, is about 15 inches in height and alout the same distance across as the other. The Thiele cup for the individual honor man is smaller than the relay cup. Plans are at pres ent being considered for a special train from the valley towns. As there are a large number of towns along this line that are planning on coming, this should materialize. There will probably be about fifty tracksters alone from this section. All the indications point to the largest meet ever held in western Nebrsaka and the competition should be keener than ever before. Tracksters Making Some Good Records In Spring Practice Garvin is fast developing into a all round track man, his latrt stunt in addition to being the star 1 road jump er and century man, beinir to put the s-hot 3" foot, and throw the discus 07 feet. There is little doubt that these records will be lettered before the end of the season as Garvin's form in both of these events can be greatly - im proved upon. Dailey won the 220 yard lah in 24 1-5, which is good consider ing the state of the track. Fowler took h gh hurdles, beating both of the speedsters, Garvin and Dai'ey. Deal van the half in 2:31. which, while not particularly fast will no doubt le im proved upon. As yet no records of over five feet have been made in the high jump. It is doubtful if this dis tance will even gain a place in the meet. No milers have been showing vip and it does not seem likely that the locals will be very formidable in this event, Dailey will be able to take care of the pole vaulting in a manner that will take first, as he has already demonstrated his ability in this line. Coach Prince will have to develop some hurdlers, Garvin and Dailey being like-, ly material in addition to Fowler if they are not already being overworked If Fowler continues to show up well in the high hurdles, he will probably be placed in this event a3 his only other duty is to fling a nasty javelin. Capt. Bob Roper Challenges Lewis For Mixed Bout Captain Bob Roper, former army heavyweight boer has challenged Strangler Lewis, heavyweight wrest ling champion to a mixed match, each to follow his own line of battle, Lewis to wrestle and Roper to box. Lewi 3 has been repeatedly hurling challenges at Jack Dempsey, averring that he could put the king of heavies on his back with little trouble and without any great damage to himself. Roper's offer is a chance to prove his ability if he is in earnest, for Roper is by no means an easy mark for anyone, although the matter of pinning his shoulders would be much easier than doing this to Dempsey. This would be a good opportunity for Lewis to prove his ability, and would smooth the path to a mix with Dempsey, if the heavy champ has any idea whatever of tak ing up this novel offer. Omaha Commerce t Shows Up Poorly In Gass Compet The Omaha Commerce interclasa track meet must be viewed with sur prise to those who recently read a story in an Omaha paper of the mar velous ability of the Bookkeepers track team. This story told of some of the records made by the Omaha tracksters few of which were below the state record in that event Krasne the giant Penpusher athlete made the only really creditable record of the day when he put the shot 42 feet 11 inches. He was said to be putting the shot over 46 feet or slightly over the state tec- The 220 man was also cracking the record in this event beyond repair but the time made in this event is little short of ridiculous. Kline the Omaha star sprint man made the distance in 29 4-5. Dailey of the locals recently stepped this distance on a muddy 2 nid at the Roof Garden, Papke and Flynn were supposed to fight in Denver April 12th for The American Legion, but postponed the Denver Bout to come to Alliance. RINGSIDE SEATS WILL BE CHAIRS ALL BOUTS TO A DECISION. Alliance Post, The American Legion track in 24 1-5. The time in the em it my dash wa 11 4-". K'thor Daiiry ( or Garvin ol' the loc;l liili school can mane me mu in m -j-.., while Daiiov has a record of H) l-.". The time in the 410 yard dash in the Commerce moot was (IS seconds. Heal has a mark made this year in this event of Mi l-.r), and Captain Strong, holder of the western Nebraska record of io l-f, will be competing this year. The time of the 1 mile run was C minutes 1 1-5 seconds. Five minutes is by no means fast for this event. The Commerce time in the half mile was 2:25 which fas far from good is passable. Unless the Bookkeepers im prove wonderfullv they have little chance to even place in any event in the state meet, with the possible ex ception of the shot put. Baseball Meeting This Evening at C. of C. Rooms The second meeting of the Alliance baseball fans will be this evening at the chamber of commerce, all those who are interested in baseball being urged to be present. Plans for the financing of the team, and the obtain ing grounds for both playing and prac ticing will be discussed. It is thought that the team may use the grounds north of the high school if permission can be obtained. This would l e much more conveniently located than the f;ir grounds where the games have Lcen held formerly. Plans are being made for a dance, which will be held in the near future for raising money for the baseball fund. There is a great deal of good ma . , Our unqpstionod integrity of purpose and performance assures you that your finances will be respected if you em ploy us to direct a funeral. Our methods are modem, our conduct is courteous and our equipment has caused us to le rated as a really efficient undertaking organization. e have business connections in other cities.

AILROAD NOTES G. L. King, who has been working at Thedfonl the past three weeks, was relieved Saturday by regular operator C. E. Thurmond who has been oil with the flu, being quite sick for some time. Conductor T. J. Campbell has been laying on" the past ten days resting up. his turn in the pool has Ix-en held by extra conductors, M. E. Lander and Dan Ford. M. F. Lander has given up his turn on 43 and 44 which he has held for some time. He will take extra con ductor's work for pome time later going on a through freight turn as brakeman. Due to a slight mishandling of orders while on the road recently an investigation has been held concerning the local crew who are under Con ductor C. D. Rider and Engineer A. E. Nelson. It is not thought that the outcome will result seriously, for those concerned, as no accident resulted from the mistake although it will not be known for some time yet until Chicago officials make their report.
