Danny Morgan, Pilot oi Fistic Crafts, Simply Can’t “See” Jack Dempsey as Champion Hy FRANK G. MENKE. Copyrlaht, 192.’. OL’LD Danny Morgai have lived to he l.nno years of age and Jack Dempsoy knocked out 1,000.000 men meanwhile, Dan still wouldn’t he convinced that the Salt Lake City socker is any great shucks with the niaubes. Dan simply can’t ''see'’ Dempsey. "Just a hard hitter, who luckily is living In an era when all the rest of the heavies are four times worse than he," asserts Dan. concerning the king of wallop crs. 'Say, it Gut) RuhUn, Sharkey or Peter Maher were at their best today they’d make Dempsey look terrible, yes, sir, terrible. They'd get to him in a hurry and knock him tor a row of buttercups before you could snap your fingers." Dun remembers Dempsey uuite well—but not at nil favorably. For Jack surely has caused Dan to be a prophet without honor. He ruined Dan’s "white hope and heaven alone can count up how much Dempsey has cost Morgan in wagers. Figured .lark Setup. ® Some few years ago when Dempsey was just coming along, Dan figured him a setup for "Battling” Le Vinsky. So Dan had tho boys matched up. It happened in Philadelphia, where Dan told all those within hearing of his voice that the Battler was going to assassinate tho westerner in cold blooded and brutal fashion. It may be recalled tha Dempsey merely toyed with Levinsky for two rounds, so as to give the crowd some sort of show for Its money. In tho third he let a few loose—and there was worry for some little time after- I ward as to whether the Battler would live to tight again. Levinsky, ones a fistic sensation. ! never was the same man after Demp sey crashed home a few In the Quaker city. When Dempsey fought Wiltard the only fear this Dan person had was that they might hale Jess into court afterward on a manslaughter charge. The hoys do say that Dan bet a youthful pile of large sized bank notes upon Willard And again Dempsey "crossed” him. ^ Wagers »n ('arpentier. •Morgan thought Carpentier a cinch against Dempsey —and backed hi.s opinion writh huge stacks of green stuff. Again Dan came a financial cropper. Dan's getting a little revenge now by spoofing Dempsey's ability. But there's tho idea here and there that when Dan's spoofing pus to the ex lent of attempting to create the idea that Dempsey would be nuft stuff for men like Riihlin or Maher, he’s over teaching his little self. Dempsey Is so infinitely faster than Maher was at his host that you can’t speak of the. two birds with the same voice. Dempsey could outstep Maher two to one and, if he possessed no other advantage over refer, that sin gle one would be enough to insure him victory. Maher was a one punch fighter— the oh) "bi-ymaker" kid. He'd pick Ills right paw off ihe floor every so often and throw it at an opponent. If ii landed the fight usually ended right then and there. But the quaint thing about Peter’s punch is that, like all haymakers, it arrived hut rarely at Its destination. Two-Handed Fighter. Dempsey is a two-handed fighter— perhaps the only real two-handed lilt te^ in the game’s history. And Into either hand he can pack as much dynamite as Maher carried in the best days he knew. So. if the two meet, with both in their prime, what would be the an swer when one remembers that Demp sey is twice as fast as Maher was, can hit with two hands just as hard, and much truer, than Maher could hit with liis right? As far as Ruhlln is concerned: lie knocked out bhakey in 1900 and put away Maher in 1002. But Sharkey earlier had been "softened" in his terrific 25-ruund tussle with Jeffries, and Maher was about nil through in 1902. Beyond that he never whipped a formidable man in his life—or I fought one, either, beyond Bob Kitr : simmons and Jim Jeffries. And both j of tTibia put Ous to sleep without any excess exertion. Dann.v Spoofs Deuipsei, When Danny spoofs Dempsey to a point where he insists that Ruhlin could have whipped him "easily," Dan makes himself an involuntary appli cant for a job as a burlesque come dian. It's true that Dempsey lives in an era when good heavyweights are scarce and great aspirants are non existant. But it's equally true that no man ever has extended Dempsey since 1918 with the exception of Bill ,Brennan. And Bill did the extending only because Dempsey climbed into the ring that night overtrained— stale. ^omo day—maybe before Dempsey | ■ i i \vs a set of gray-tinted whiskers I end cultivates rheumatic joints— someone may come along who classes —in the opinion of oldtlmera—with Maher, Rublln, Sharkey, l<’itz, Jef feries and Corbett. And then we'll see what wo shall see and the some thing that will be seen undoubtedly will be far different than the pop eyed vision of Danny Morgan's. Gate City League to Open in January The Gate City basket ball league, composed of class "A" players, will jtanen Its schedule tho first week in nllhuHyx. with the following four teams competing: Elmer Beddeo, Ar mour ft Co., Swift it Co., and Thorp eian Athletic club.

Manager Flynn has wired Mr. Shade, saying that if ho can wipe the floor with Schoell hero "Fish Night” there will be a Shade-Walker championship fight cooked up in New Jersey. Shade would like nothing better than a chance to crack Champ Walker on the beezer with his loft mitt. Dave is of the opinion that Walker is made to order for him and for this reason is anxious to get at the cliampio- before someone else blows around and knocks Walker for a row af pari-mutuel tickets. The California welter is training at the Business Men’s gymnasium. He will work out this afternoon and give the local customers a chance to lamp his fistic ability.

I Paris, Dec. 10.—‘•Battling'’ Sikl hat, written a letter to the newspaper Lc ! Matin, accepting the challenge to meet , Carpentier on conditions suggested by ' a Paris firm who subscribed 300,000 francs in order to make the *ight pos sible. The disqualified champion writes; "I accept the challenge to fight Car pentier for honor and make it uncon ditioned beyond those made by the bi cycle firm, Sanchoc; namely, annul ment of my disqualification; the fight to take place within 10 weeks and 300,000 francs to be paid over to a fund for scientific laboratories. It will bring great happiness to me to fight in this time of peace in behalf of French science with the same ardor wherewith I fought during the war for the defense of the soul of France —the country which freed slaves and Is the benefactor of the bltyck race." It must be pointed out, however, that the bicycle firm never Imposed any conditions concerning the annul ment of Slkl's disqualification, but merely suggested that if both boxers accepted and handed over the purse to the scientific fund the French box ing federation could hardly refuse to forgive Slkl and annul his disquali fication. Carpentier and Dcscamps, his man ager. went to England yesterday but ponding their return on Monday Mme. Carpentier, Interviewed, said she was | absolutely ce.rtain "Georges will ac : cept the fight for the honor alone and will be only too delighted that the I purse is to go to support scientific institutions.” Goullet-Belloni Win Bike Race New \ork, Dec. 9.—Goullet-Belloni tonight won the six-day bicycle race i at Madison Square garden.

Basket ball is primarily a pacing game. As a general rule ths pa-sing is progres sive toward the goal Most passes are made while players are in motion, but situations constantly arise when the man with the ball is stationary, while his team mates maneuver for positions nearer the «;oal. After making Ills past-, tlm player j must, advance ready to receive the ball, should it bo passed to him. A hall should never be thrown a> a running player, but Just far enough fn front of him so that the receiver and the ball reach the same spot st the same time. Such pass's must not be too swift, but ratlmr carefully timed Ability to pans a ball from the position in which it ** caught makes for smooth placing. Ther» are two elemeuta In the passing of a ball, the one of prep aration, and the other of delivery. If the i preparatory movement can be eliminated, the pass is materially faster. The fewer motions a passer makes, the smoother and faster will he his lay. . Morvicli Goes in Stud Lexington, Ky„ I>ee. 10.—Morvlcb. winner of tlie Kentucky derby of 1918 and undefeated as a 2-year-old. arrived from New Tortc Saturday afternoon and was taken to the Hayland's farm, where he will make the season in Coffey Chosen Captain of South Dakota State _ i Brookings, S. D., Dec. 10.—Bob Cof- : fey, Watertown, one of Slate's smash ing halfbacks, has been chosen cap- , tain of the 1923 Rabbit football team,! Coffey has Just finished his second year of football at South • Dakota j State, playing a fine game and having , his full share in bringing the North ' Central Intercollegiate conference I championship honors t.o his school.

His first touchdown for State whs made i nhls home town against Yankton college, when he bowled over the line twice within three minutes for counters. Kerr Trying to Get Back Into Major League By AL hPINK. Bobby Kerr, the little sawed off left-ha nded pitcher of the Chicago' White Sox. who held out last fall and who pitched send-pro liall last sum mer, is trying to get back into major league baseball. True, his friends deny this asser tion but there is no doubt It is true. And there are a whole lot of people who would like to see Bobby back at the old stand. We are all human and all make mis takes. There is no doubt Bobby made a had break and that he listened to bad advisers, when he jumped the Sox. But now that he is waiting to come back and do business right there Is no good reason why ho should not be given the chance. Little Bobby should be forgiven. Tf only for the able work he did in the world series of 1919. when all about him were traitors while he and a few* other good fellows were standing straight and true. Although Bobby smelled a large sized rat. he never wavered In that Cincinnati Chicago world fracas, but kept right on pitching as usual and single handed and almost alone he won both the games in which he pitched. He got scarcely any assistance in the way of hitting on the part of his comrades but went right along win ning and In the face of the handicap which he carried. He won the third game of the series by 3 to 1 and the sixth by 5 to t. They were two of the hardest and closely contested games of that ill starred series. The closest-played game was the sixth, which, -with Kerr pitching, the White Pox won by a score of 5 to 4. It was a 10-inning affair, the White Pox malting a run in their half, leav ing the score at 5 to 4 In their favor. The Reds went In to get one to tie. and two to win. Rausch, the first man up, grounded to Collins and was an easy out to Gandit. Then Duncan, hit up a foul fly which was captured by Sehalk. Korf, the last man up, went out like Rausch. Collins to Gandil. The pitching of Kerr had won with little assistance from his comrades. Kerr has often been asked how a little fellow and a newcomer like him-! self came to do such wonderful work In his first world series. He has often said: “I can't answer the question. T ratjjer surprised myself. I have my own ideas of pitching and I simply carried them out. "What are those ideas? Wei' deiienda on just who is facing “I don't know why, but It is a fact that left-handers do not last as long I in this business its right hand pitch-1 ers. T hold to the theory often ad vanned, that the reason of this is that. It is because the left arm is nearest the heart and the muscles of the heart are thus subjected to the strain the strain the right-handers aro not subjected to. “Often after a game all the muscles in the breast and near my heart liHVe been sore, although I have never felt any trouble with my heart Itself While left-handers are more lik*ly to be wild than right-handers, when they are effective they usually hold the op posing team down lo a few hits. 1 think I was effective in both my games at Cincinnati. I simply felt that I could come pretty near heating them single handed and I came very near doing that." Creighton Will Play Oklahoma Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 10.—(Special Telegram.)—A. A. Schabinger, athletic director represented Creighton at the Missouri valley coaches' and officials' meeting Saturday. The expected application of Creigh ton for admission to the Missouri valley conference failed to mater lalire. Oklahoma A. and M. was an ap plicant for admission, but the ap plication was denied on the ground that the conference did not care to expand. Oklahoma A. and M. was judged satisfactory in every respect and if at any future time the conference should decide to expand the Sooner institution will be given the first op portunity. Schabinger contented himself with mingling with the coaches who greeted him warmly. The Improvement that Schabinger has made fh the management of athletics at Creighton has been taken cognisance of by the Missouri valley's officials individually and Schabinger was given a hearty welcome. Should there be any expansion of Ihe conference or if present members should drop out it was evident that Creighton, under Schabinger, would be gladly welcomed into the confer ence. Extra! Extra!

Soccer Teams ■Brave Cold to Play Contests □LAYING In their abbreviated iwtutm id doing a "sldmnij" every time (hr. north wind lei out i howl members of tho Omaha Diet riel Soccer league l>ra\ed the cold yesterday in order tha they mtgb speed up the playing schedule of theti loop. At Miller park, on a finzen field two contests were reeled off befov* 11 largo crowd. Tho Townsend Gun company defeated tin Ceehies. 3 to 1 in the llrst game of th*- double-header while Hie Caledoniana trounced th" Italians lV tho score of 7 to 1 in tin second game. While the double header was bein' played at Miller field, the Omaha Sports and All-Americans were bootin' the leather bull at Eltnwood park. This game was ono of the hardest-fought soccer contests of the season and resulted in a 1 to 0 vie tory for tho tsports. The guarding of the All Anierii^^^ and Sports was one of the feaures of the Elmwood game. The Sports un corked a brand of teamwork a few minutes before the first half ended and managed to boot a goal. The spurt on tho part of the Sports was short lived as the Americans tight ened their defense and from then on the gaano was a nip and tuck affan At Miller Park tho boat game of the afternoon was tho I to 1 victory of the Townsend Gunners over the Cechles. The Townsends, with then regular brand of good teamwork and guarding, scored their pair of goal;. In the first half when Muncaster and Altken booted the ball through the Cechles' goal. The Cechles also scored a. goal in tho first, half. After the Cechles go' possession of the hall at one end of the field they booted it down tho lino until Novncek kicked tho leather over the Gunners’ chalk mark for a score. rWH-ing the seeond half the gsnv resulted in a close guarding affair The Cechles came near scoring a eouplo of times, but the close guarding of the Townsend players ruined the Cechles’ chances of chalking up a tally. The Caledonians won an easy -v |c tor? over the Italians, 7 to T This contest was one of tho best, games played tills year In the Vague. Not a foul was called on a player during the entire contest. The plajlng of the Italians was j much better than usual, hut the ■ sweeping attack of the Caledonians •was too much for the less experienced Italians. J. Henderson, with two goals, was the star of the Caledonian team. ■ -—-—— i Western League Managers Preparing for Coming Season—Burch Signs New Players | Hy RALPH WAGNER. '•‘IINLPS is starting to pick up in the Western league since "Pa" Tear ney's circuit mo guls held their an nual confab down in Louis \ illc, ICy., early Inst week. Several deals si ready have been made by the West ern league club I owners and num erous others, no doubt, nro pend ing. The league will have many new faces to show the cash customers when the turnstiles start their click in' noise. The training season will start about the same time as it did last year. Most of the clubs will go hack to their old stamping grounds to pre pare for the coming grind. The Dos Moines Boosters and Oklahoma City clubs have selected new training camps, while the other six teams will probably train on the same lots that they did last spring. The Omaha Buffaloes will start making tracks down to Victoria, Tex., early in March. Ed Konetchy, the new boss of the Buffaloes, will be assisted in rounding the Omaha players into battling form by Owner Barney Burch and Coach “Cap” Leidy. The squad will spend two or three weeks in Victoria and then start on an exhibition tour similar to last year’s trip that will end at the town where the herd opens the 192" season. Play in the Western league Is ex pected to open about the middle of April. Whether the first games will ho played In the southern section of the circuit or the northern is not known at the present as the schedule committee has not gathered around tho old stove to draw up the 1923 playing chart. Northern club owners want the sea son to be cracked open up in this sec tion of tho loop. They declare that the southern clubs have had their share of opening games and now it's time for the league to open In the northern cities. Fotlr of the eight clubs will have new bosses, while every team In the league will have new intiolders and outfielders. Pitchers and catchers will go south in droves. Omaha, Dos Moines. Wichita and Denver will have new pilots. Ed Konetchy, former major league star first baseman, will manage Omaha, while "Red” Corrideti, well-known Western leaguer, has been secured to handle the reins over In Des Moines. Just who will pilot Wichita and Denver is not known. Konetehy will succeed George Leidy as manager of the Buffaloes, while Corrlden will step into Jack Graney's shoes at Des Moines. Joe Dunn bossed the Bears last season, but wilt not be at Denver this com ing season. Neither will Joe Berger manage the Wichita club in 1323. Gus Fisher will manage Oklahoma City again, and "Chick” Mattick will be at the helm at Sioux City. Jack Lelivelt will again lead the champion Tulsa Oilers and Wally Smith has signed on the dotted line to guide the St. Joseph Saints. That Burch is trying his “level best” to give Omaha a winning club is evident by the recent deals concern ing the Buffaloes. Dan Tipple, pitch er, has been shipped to Minneapolis for four players, two of whom are pitchers. Nick Cullop and Ted Oden wald are the liurlers. Both have hurled Western league ball. The latter was given a tryout with Cleve land last year but couldn’t stick. In the Tipple deal, Omaha also secured a couple of crackin' good field ers. Tony DeFate, shortstop, and "Bonny” Bonowitz. outfielder. Both DeFate and Bonowitz are Western leaguers. DeFate went up to Min neapolis from St. Joseph. Bonowitz was the best outfielder in the Western loop last season and his hitting was one of the features of St. Joseph’s play. For pitchers. Barney has sceured a bird by the name of A. Bailey from New Orleans. Bailey ’olnt-d the southern club late in the season and out of 19 games pitched, managed to win 10, losing four. He was taken out of two games and finished three. Frank Okrio of the 1922 squad will return. Beside these already named, Omaha has Speece and Shupe. two State league liurlers, Cullop, Odenwald, May and Henderson. May Is a young ster of promise. He hurled for Seattle last year, his first season in organ ized baseball. Bailey was purchased from the New Orleans club for quite a hunk of change. On third base we will see "Tex” McDonald of Wichita Falls, Tex. "Tex" Is another new addition to the herd who cost plenty money, some thng like $5,000. McDonald swings from the left side and packs a wicked bludgeon. He hatted over the .300 marK last yeai and played a hangup game at third. First base will be taken care of by Manager Ed Konetchy. the veteran major leaguer. ‘■Whitey’’ Gislason. the ‘‘Little Giant,” will return to the fold to take care of his second sack. "Whitey" can hold his own with any second base man in the league and can swing the bat with telling effect. Short will be taken care of by Tony DeFate. Funs know Tony and know his ability to cavort out there between second and third. What s going to happen to Jimmy Wilcox is more than we can tell. In the outfield will be the old re liable "Pug" Griffin. Griffin will hold down right field. Bonowitz will take care of the center garden in place of Manush, and unless Burch com pletes another deal, "Jack Rabbit Ap person will grab ’em out left field way. O’Connor and Masters, outfield ers, belong to Omaha, but the latter may be released. O’Connor, If be gets Into condition, swings a wicked bat and is a good fielder. Getting into condition Is a big task for this fly chaser. From the looks of things, "Red’ Wilder will do the bulk of catching. Spencer will not return to the fold. | EDDIE’S FRIENDS_* J VJHV DC N'T yA Y^ WATCH AH SEJE. HOW' MAHy I DRAW - 3 DON1!
