Extra! Extra! Harry Greb and
**# * * *
Bob Roper Are Couple of Fighters
#* * * # * * * *
Who. Got Into Ring and Fought
- n
By FRANK Ci. MENKK.
\OUPLE of fighters got
into a ring the
other night—and
they really fought.
Harry tireh and
r.oh Koper are ex
hibits A and R in
this quaint fisti
cuffing case.
A Jot of our best
folks since then
have been Insist
ing that “it was
simply disgrace
ful” the way Harry
and Robert acted.
But it was noth
thing of I ho sort. For those babies
really did fight each other—really
gave the best that was in them. They
weren't in that ring for exhibition
purposes—not after the third round,
anyway.
It's too IwkI that other fighters
nren't doing the same thing.
The great trouble with the ring
game of today Is that most of the
flghis are prearranged ajfuirs. They
aren't fights at all. They are simply
exhibitions. The boys arrange every
thing beforehand. They agree not to"
hurt each other. They agree to make
it look like a fierce fight. And they
do succeed—except in cases where a
double cross occurs.
Tossed Out Politeness.
And the public pay—and pays—
and frequently goes into raptures
concealing "a thrilling battle,” which
was just stage stuff performed by a
pair of clever ring actors.
Not so long ago a gentleman step
ped forward and said:
'Tlememher that Lew Tendler-Willle
Jackson affair in Philadelphia—the
one In which Jackson knocked down
Tendler twice in the first round?
Well, afterward I talked to Tendler
and asked him about it. lie said to
mo that it was undertood before the
fight that he and Jackson were to go
‘eight fast rounds.’ Tendler said Jack
son pulled a double-cross in the first
round, but that after he (Tendler) re
covered frofn the walloping he got
In that opening session, he tore into
Jackson and gave him a stout beat
ing for trying to do a double-cross.”
Tsn't that a dainty dish to set before
a fistic public which pays out its Hard
erned cash with the idea that it is see
ing two men honestly fighting to the
limit of their endeavor?
A Real Fight.
The practice of "saving up” a foe
man is being overdone so much in
states where official decisions are
barred that even the most gullible
among the fight fans is beginning to
see through tho sham of it all. For
the boys who are fighters by profes
sion usually aren't greatly gifted
with acting ability and though they
can get away with the stunt once or
twice, they usually overdo it.
For quite a long time there has been
the suspicion that Greb and Roper
have been playing a brother-in-law
game—that they have been mingling
in prearranged matches around the
country. Their tussle in Pittsburgh
started off like "one of those things”
—and continued so until the cash cus
tomers could stand It no longer and
began to howl and jeer—and to yell
shrill cries of "fake.”
That must have awakened Greb to
the fact that hippodroming no longer
was worth-while stuff. If there was
an agreement before the fight, Greb
decided right then and there to bust
it. And Roper did likewise. The boys
tossed their polite manners right out
of tho ring and they got busy. What
happened afterward was hair-raising.
A Tonic fcr Game.
No living man ever will dispute the
fact that Jlreb and Roper fought after
that thirf round—fought with every
ounce of energy and strength within
their bodies; fought to the absolute
limit of their power to annihilate the
other. It was the fiercest, most cy
clonic and certainly the most desper
ately contested battle that has hap
pened on American soil in years—and
yet more years.
Greb and Roper are to be con
demned because they slugged the ref
eree whenever he attempted to part
them from their savage work in the
clinches and between rounds. But
Greb and Roper are not to be con
demned because they actually fought
each other. That's what they agreed
to do—that's what they were expected
to do—that's what ttie crowd paid to
see.
It they had more fights like Greb
and Roper put on for the special ben
efit of a fortunate PlttstAirgh audi
ence, there'd be more honesty within
the prize ring, less suspicion among
fandom—and less likelihood of a day
coming when the crookedness and the
rottenness involved in pre arranged
matches will sound the death knell of
the game.

McDowell High at
Ak-Sar-Ben Traps
Shooting against a strong wind,
members of the Omaha Gun club
braved the cold Sunday afternoon
to stage their weekly shoot at the Ak
Sar-Ben traps. The heavy cloads
overhead handicapped the shooters,
making it hard to see the clay “birds"
as they flew from the traps.
McDowell was high gun of the day,
breaking SI out of 100 chances. Frank
Williams was second with 73 hits out
of 100 shots. Other .scores follow:
A. E. Moore. 63 out of 75; F. A. Mar

Will Tins Happen to Jack ?
The most mooted question In athletic*—can the
world’s champion fighter beat the world’s champion wres
tler?—may soon be settled if Jack Dempsey accepts the
challenge of Ed (Strangler) Lewis for a match, Dempsey
to hit and wrestle, if he can, and Lewis merely to wrestle.
This composite photograph shows Dempsey in Lewis’
deadly headlock. Wrestlers assert Lewis could dive at
Dempsey, clutch him and then overcome him with his
great strength. Boxers reply Dempsey could keep out of
Lewis’ clutches with superior footwork and poun^l him
into a jelly with his fists.
Amateur Trap Shooters After
Control of Clay Bird Sport
New York, Jan. 7.—The amateur
trap shooters of America today
made their first movement toward
assuming absolute control of the
sport, when incorporation papers
were drawn up for a new organiza
tion to replace the American Trap
Shooting association, the existing
governing body. The new organiza
tion will be known as the Amateur
Trail Shooting Association of Ameri
ca and will lie incorporated under
the laws of Delaware.
Tlie Incorporators are George II.
McCarthy of New Field, N. ,1.;
Ralph I,. Spoils, chairman of Ihe
trapshooting committee of Ihe New
York A. C., and Dr. George H. Mar
lin, a prominent New Y'orker sports
man. As soon as the necessary legal
steps have been taken, the ama
teurs will assume formal control.
The American Trapshooting asso
ciation, which has governed the
sports for many years, was sponsor
ed by manufacturers of ammunition
and accessories.
Jess Willard Must Show His
Stuff Before Rickard Will Listen
to Return Match With Jack
.EW YORK, Jan. 8.
—Jess Willard,
former heavy
weight champion,
will arrive here
tomorrow after
noon from Kansas
City with his man
ager, Ray Archer.
Jess is still in
) ct u e st of Jack
’ Dempsey but will
rest for a brief spell in his chase after
the • champion, just to take a peek
at Bill Brennan and Floyd Johnson
pulling their stuff in the garden on
Friday night.
r,'he Kansas farmer Is going to try
h..s persuasive powers on Tex Rick
Grand Circuit Stewards Discuss
Falsifying Time oh Small Tracks
Toledo, O., Jan. 8.—Action against
alleged falsifying of time on tlie
half mile tracks was discussed by
Grand Circuit stewards In annual
meeting here today. Speakers on
the subject were W. H. Gocher of
Hartford, Conn., secretary of the
National Trotting association; \V.
H. Smolllnger, Chicago, secretary of
the American Trotting association;
A. E. Leatiiernuui. Philadelphia,
secretary of the Union Trotting
association, and E. J. Curtin, De
corah, la., president of the Harness
Horse association.
It was pointed out in the discus
sion that it has come to the notice
ot the stewards that horses have
come to tile mile tracks with slower
records than rightfully belonged to
them. No formal action was taken
against the alleged practice.
The Devonshire track at Windsor,"
tint., and the Michigan State fair at
Detroit were the only new appli
cants for dates today.
Elect ion of ofltcers will be held
tomorrow. It was said to he likely
that there probably would be no
1 change in the present regime.
ard. Jess thinks he can convince
Rickard that another spill between
himself and Mr. Dempsey would be a
riot but we happen to know that he
is going to have u mighty Stiff con
tract on his hands if he thinks Tex 1s
going to fall so easy. Williard will
have to show something before Rick
ard will consider any thoughts of a
bout between the Kansas giant and
the champion.
Rickard will doubtless a'sk Jess to
tackle the winner of’the Brennan and
Johnson wrangle but that is where
the rub comes in. R is known that
Willard does not want anyone but
Dempsey. However, the public wants
him to put his stuff right on the line
and Rickard knows it. Willard will
have to revise his mind about things.
Muscatine Middleweight
Is a Versatile Athlete
Tipton, la., Jan. 8.—'Ter* Butt,
middleweight boxer of Mu watlne,
is a versatile athlete to say the
least. He was one of the principals
in every bout on an athletic card
staged here recently.
Not only did he box (wo four
round exhibition bouts with John
ny Hickey of Tipton and Young
Kssex of' Muscatine, but wlten
Karl Tyler of Cedar Rapids failed
to show up for his wrestling inateh
with Young lleinetreal of Musca
tine, Butt offered himself as an
opponent for the fireek star. Deni
etrcal won in straight falls.

Omaha get into
action.
Coach Schabin

meet the Haskell
Indians on the Creighton ifloor in a
two-game series starting Friday
night.
The Bi te and White flippers opened
their season last week, when they
lost to the speedy Kansas university
five by the sedre of 29 to 7.
Coach Sehabinger will juggle his
lineup a little this week in order to
try and strengthen the team's de
fense. In the game against Kansas
the Creighton basketeers were weak
on guarding and breaking up team
play. -Their teamwork wasn’t up to
standard, but is sure to improve
within a short time.
Omaha Flays Tarkio.
Coach Ernie Adams’ University of
Omaha Maroons, who went f>0-50 with
the Yankton eollege five in a two
game series here last week, play
Tarkio, Mo., college on the latter’s
court Thursday and Friday.
The Maroon university is repre
sented hy another good team this
season and is expected to give a good
account of itself during the schedule.
Tarkio college holds the Missouri
conference championship in basket
ball and is reported to have another
strong quintet this season.
Coach Adams announced last night
that hereafter basket ball games at
the Maroon “gym" will start
promptly at 8 p. m.
South Meets Benson.
Creighton High won its first game
in the city high school basket ball
championship race last week when it
defeated the South High Packers.
A Pair of Fighters Who Fought
Oldtimers will easily recognize the principals in the
above picture. Terry McGovern (left), perhaps one of
the greatest fighters who ever laced on a glove, has long
since been counted out by the Supreme Referee. It was
20 years ago that Young Corbett (right) Itnocked out
McGovern at Hartford, Conn., in two furious rounds.
Young Corbett is now living at his home in Denver, but
keeps in touch with the game he loved so well.
Lincoln High
' Cancels Game
With Central
Lack of Floor Space in Cap
ital City Cause—Link*
to Drop Contest.
Several important changes e
been made in tlm Central high school
basket bull schedule. Word was re
ceived yesterday at the Purple school
that Lincoln would be unable to meet
the Purpls cagesters at Lincoln Sal
urday night. Coach Brown of the
capital city quintet is unable to locate
an indoor court upon which the con
tort could be played.
The Central schedule is now otter
for this date and Coach Util of the
local tossers is trying to arrange :
contest with some out state team for
this week end.
The Lincolnitcs wanted to changi
the date to January 27, but this date
has been given to Grand Island.
Central will play a return game
with tlie Council Bluffs five across
the' river January 26 and the Grand
Island cage squad will meet the Pur
ple warriors here January 27. The
Islanders meet Tech on the local
courts the night before, and the out
state team is reported to he repre
sented by nearly the same eagesters
that pulled off the surprise in the
state tournament last year when they
defeated Lincoln in the first round.
Coach Ilill has been asked to play
several outstate teams and it is lkel.V
[that another "trip'’ for the Central
quint will be arranged.
Wednesday evening Creighton and
Council Bluffs play on Creighton
floor. This game should be a close
affair as the Iowans are reported to
be ns strong ns Creighton High this
winter.
South High meets Benson at South,
while Tech plays Sutton in Omaha.
Sutton was runnerup in the state
tournament at Lincoln last year, but
little is known of the strength of Sut

St. Louis Star Tops Missour
Valley Tennis Ranking List
Wray Brown, the St. Louis star, who won the singles
championship in the Missouri valley sectional tournament
ZOr<zy
here last summer, tops the ranking list in the
men’s valley singles, according to the official
ranking of the United States Lawn Tennis
association, released for publication today.
Philip Bagby of Kansas City, who, paired
with Walter Newell, his fellow' townsman,
won the doubles championship, is given sec
ond place ajnong the first 10 players. Theo
dore Drewes Of St. Louis was rated third.
Bagby and Newell, by virtue of their
victory here, top the doubles ranking list,
with Wray Brown and Karl Kamm, St. Louis,
second.
The ranking follows:

Q. Why arc glass backboards ' used on
some courts?
A. No the spectators In rear of the
backboards will not have their view of
the game cut off, also some wooden back
boards are livelier than others.
Q. May a player grab the ball from
the hands of an opponent?
A. Yes,
Q. What Is the size of the official
goal ?
A. Eighteen Inches in diameter. Inside
measurement, for both the amateur and
professional games.
Q. When two players arc jumping for
ball being tossed up by the referee in
: the center, what positions are the other
playerB obliged to assume?
A. Amateur rules allow them to take
any position as long as they do not In
i terfere with the jumpers. Professional
rules restrain the players to keep 15 feet
from jumpers until the hall Is tossed up
by referee.
Q. If a player about to pass the ball
jumps and then fails to pass the ball, but
still holds It without moving from the
spot he has Jumped to. Is it a foul?
A. You may take one step with one
foot in any direction and lift the other
foot, hut as soon as you place the other
foot, on the floor and you still hold the
ball. It Is a foul.
1IOIV TO PF.AY BASKET BALE.
Offense. Against teams of nearly
equal ability, plays from center will not
work consistently. You must concede
that the opponents are likely to be as
alert and follow the ball as closely as
your own team, anti before the ball can
bo relayed to a position to score, some
thing is very apt to happen, which might
spoil the play. However, were scoring
from a. set play at center h rarity, the ef
fort would still be worth while. At a
given signal,^al! five men are prepared
to do a prearranged thing, and this team
spirit and mutual help is well worth cul
tivating in basket ball. All other things
being equal, the team that Is beet pre
pared will win. All plays should be sim
