BACK DEMPSEY is the heavy
weight champion of the world,
but in the last four years ho
has had only four battle*, all of
which doesn't speak very well for a
champion.
Dempsey's excuse for not being
more active is that lie lacks op
ponents. which is not true. Harry
Wills, Harry Oreb and Tommy Gib
bons want to light.
Sporting men say that ihe reason
Dempsey has not swapped punches
more often is not because he lacks
opponents, but because he wants
more money forx his services than
they are worth.
If Dempsey were willing to meet

age lie woi^ld find plenty of work

English Welter Outboxes Omaha
Welterweight in 10-Round Bout;
Decision Unpopular With Fans
By RALPH WAGNER.
“Kid” Schlaifer, Omaha welterweight, was donated a
10-round decision over “Billy” Wells, champion welter of
England and Canada, Friday at the end of their bout, the
main event of a fight program staged at the City auditorium.
What prompted Referee -George Duffy of Milwaukee,
who, by the way, as licensed by the boxhig commission of
Wisconsin, to give a decision such as he did, is beyond our
imagination and beyond that of a majority of the thousands
of fans who witnessed the contest.
If one boxer ever gave another a good licking in a 10-round bout, “Billy"
Wells gave Schlaifer one last night. In saying this we are noj taking any
credit away from the “Kid." He fought the best he knew how; ho fought
like he has never fought, before; battled the Englishman from one* corner'of
the ring to the other; hit Wells time and again with stinging lefts and rights;
but. granting all of this, the Omaha welter was outboxed from the first gong
to tlie final clang of the bell.' Wells made Schlaifer miss so often that it’s
a wonder that he isn’t ill from penumonia. The l.c.rfdoner also hit
Schlaifer often and hard. Schlalfer’s face proved this at the end of their
bout. The "Kid” showed the effects of the fight more so than did ’Wells.
But how a referee, a referee with ‘
tho reputation George Duffy totes i
around with him, could give a de-'
clslDfl like he did la*t night is beyond
■ air Reason. 7'he fact tiiat Wells bit
Schlaifer three times with a backhand
swipe surely does not warrant such
a decision.
Fans Hoot Decision.
At the end of the bout when Duffy
donated his verdic*. spectators hooted
themselves hearse. Several climbed
into the ring and for a time it looked
dark for tho referee. However, he
managed to get to the dressing room
where lie remained until late into the j
night.
Wells also remained in the ring.
The Englishman deserved the decision
ff any one did. In his dressing room
lie wept like a baby, not beeaitse ho
lost the decision but because he knew
he heat Schlaifer and wasn’t given
credit.
Wells won five rounds, while
Schlaifer took two. Two of the
stanzas were even. The first round
went to the Englishman, while the
second was won by the “Jvid." The
third was Wells’ and tho fourth be
longs to Schlaifer. Wells had the
best of the fifth and the sixth and
seventh were even. The eighth, ninth
and tenth belong to Wells.
But the light. If was a gallant
struggle, with the dope upset two
ways. Wells, the clever boxer,
showed that he could stand and fight
like a wildcat. Schlaifer, the slugger,
showed that he Is Improving In the
ring game. Wells was cautious at
tho start, back-jumped briskly and
muffled the " Kid’s" rushes. Thus
passed tho first and second rounds,
with little damaged done. The third
was a whirlwind. They mixed furi
ously, Schlaifer swinging. Wells jab
bing and hooking, and Hehlaifir
looking somewhat puzzled at the bell.
So far Wells had it on leading and
general results.
1 lor turns.
The fourth saw the tide turn sud
denly. Schlalfer managed to shoot
Wells as full of Interstices as Swiss
i cheese, and escaped his desperate re
turns. The "Kid" breezed fortli In
this round and chased Wells around
the ring. Near the bell Schlaifer
clipped Wells on the chin, caught him
i off balance and knocked the English
man down. He was up in a Jiffy,
i however, and on top Schlaifer like a
I wildcat.
The Englishman has a defense that
shed Schlalfcr's blows like a duck
sheds water. His left and right dukes
came in contact with Schlaifer s face
and body oodles and oodles of times
during the bout, but hit ns hard as
he could, Wells was unable to make
the game little Schlaifer give ground
to much extent.
In the fifth round Wells easily out
boxed Schlaifer. He made the Omaha
lad miss repeatedly. Wells carries a
wicked left that simply whltted
Hchlaifer down in this round. In
I characteristic milling fashion the
I "Kid" bored in with wild swings. Oc
I casionally they landed smack on
I Wells’ ear, but seemingly hud Utile
effsst. Near the bell Wells popp'd
Hchlaifer in the beczcr and soon the
I
purple trickled down the “Kill's"
face. ' *
Wells Takes Lead. ^ -
The sixth and seventh frames' were
even. Wells tyinning a shade over
Schlaifer in the seventh if any Were
to he given. Both fought hard and
landed some telling blows. Wells was
on the "Kid" like a wildcat, while
Schlaifer propelled both milts trying
to get over that ever dangerous left
of his, btu without success.
From the eighth until the final
gong, We)ls clearly outboxed and out-,
pointed Schlaifer. The Englshman
shook the Omaha hoy .au-vcral times
with his left, while his guarding shed
his opponent's blows without much
trouble. Every now and then he
caught one of Schlalfer's blows on
the body or jaw, but the tiring “Kid"
lacked the knockout punch.
AVells fought madly in the tenth
and Schlaifer tore in like a mad man,
The Englishman put on sonic neat
boxing stuff In this round, ducking
under Schlalfer's left shots and then
driving the “Kid" to the ropes. Both
were going well at the close, and
both gained a world of credit, but
Schlaifer was donated the decision.
I\nl rough! (Iran.
Wells hail showrf himself grandly
and an elegant boxer and f ghten,
Schlalfer had fouylit clean anihsijuarc,
and had shown himself a pippin of a
battler. -
In the semi-windup, a 10 round bout
between Frankie Garcia of Memphis
and Jack Kile of Chicago, Referee
George Duffy called the bout a draw.
Garcia is Hie fastest human sira In
an Omaha ring for many moons. The
Memphis bantamweight easily out
boxed the Chicago lad in the majority
of rounds. Kilo, the two listed slug
ger that he is. gave a, good account
of himself in bis initial appearance
here, lint when it tame to boxing he
was not in the same class da Garcia
Tim [optwork of the southern bar,
tamwciglit was good and Ins punches
(were well timed. II' had Kile's map
looking like a flapper's face before
the limit was over and it wasn't rouge
the Chicago fighter bad sne/ired on
Ids face.
The first round was even, Garcia
took the second, while the thirds was
even. The fourth went to Kile and
the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
were won by Garcia. The ninth and
tenth were even.
In the first preliminary, Ted Zan
fes of Sioux City tacked the kayoe
sign on Ed Sledge of Omaha in the
third round with a right to the atom
aeh.
"Turk" Kogan of Omaha knocked
out Eddie Cupps of Sioux City in the
first round. A right to the stomach
followed by a left to the jaw put Copps
in a state of coma.
The fight program as a whole was
a dandy, but the referee's decision in
the W< lls-Schlalfer bout gives the box
ing game in Nebraska a black eye.

Blue Nose Rules Favorite
for Louisiana Derby in March
New Orleans La., Feb. 3.— (Spe
cial.)— L. It. Bradley's colt, Blue Nose,
Is (he present ante-post choice for
the $ 10.000 Louisiana derby at tho
Jefferson Parish track. ’St. Patrick’s
day, March IT. His repeated vic
tories in handicap races ranging in
distance front six furlongs to ono
inilp. in all kinds of going, have boost
ed his derby stock above par. He has
twice defeated Calcutta, which sur
prised racing fans by winning the
New Year's handicap at tho fair
grounds front sonic of the best older
horses here.
Blue Noso lias donq everything hie
trainer has asked of him. Mud is his
long suit, Ink since coming hero ho
has also shown he can win over n
dry track. The first time Bli^e Nose
met Calcutta he gave G. It. Allen's
horse 13 pounds, they carrying IIS
and 102 pounds, respectively, and
Blue Nose bear him to the wire. Tho
second time they clashed In the Pre
liminary handicap, a mile affair, Blue
Xoee carried 12° pounds and Calcut
ta 11T pounds, and the Bradley horses
ran him off his feet. Blue Nose win
ning easily and Calcutta finished
fourth.
The Louisiana derby distance "ill
be one mile and a furlong, and no one
doubts the son of Black Toney Benant
will go the route. Blue Nose’s Im
provement over bis Kentucky form
has other owners of derby candidates
worried and those who entered their
horses in the Tiajuana derby, March
18, are planning to pass up the Jeffer
son Bark race for what they think
might be easier money at the Mexi
can track. One of these is Will m.y, ^
iels. who lias Blanc Scing. Calcutta
is also expected to go in tho Tiajuana .
rare. T. J. l’endergast has a clever
3 year-old here in Bo McMillan, which
