HE Knights of the Stuffed Gauntlets will do
another “turn” over at the Auditorium to
night when the Douglas County post of the
American Legion stages its monthly program
of knuckle whirling contests.
Three 10-round t*>uts will be dished out
to, what is expected to be another packed
Auditorium. The feature bout of the three
k is billed as the •'Kid" Sehlaifer-Frankie Sehoell quarrel, ,
' while the semi-windup will bring together a pair of fight
ing middlewoights in the persons of Homer Sheridan of
Sioux City and Johnny Strike of Akron, O. The first ,
ight on the card is another 10-stanza affair featuring
•STiny" Herman of Omaha and "Farmer” Lodge of St.
Paul. These two scrappers belong to the heavyweight
division.
"Curley” Ulrich, St. Paul, "ill hand!© the main scrap of the evening.
Ulrich has appeared as the third man In Omaha rings before and lias worked
to the best of his ability which was better or equal to the work of any ref- j
f rees who have appeared in this city •
There is no doubting that “Curley”
is a good referee, much better in the
opinion of the ma
jority of the fight
fans than George
Duffy, who render
ed the decision on
the Schlaifer-Wells
battle, and there !
is no reason to be- ;
lieve that Ulrich’s :
decision in the j
main scrap will ]
not deal out jus- i
tice.
Scllooll Clever
Boxer.
As far as the j
main event is con- .
cerned the farts
can rest assured that both Schlaifer
and Schoell will do their “darndest" to
■ score a quick victory via knockout.
Schoell, the clever boxer, has a wallop
In both mitts. Schlaifer, the fighter,
Is learning lo box and is Improving in
iiis styTe of attack and defense with
each bout. The “Kid” can sock with
either hand, especially with his left,
but isn't much on boxing.
Schoell has fought In Omaha on
'.wo previous occasions, once with
'Bryan Dow ney and
the second time
against Dave
Shade. The Schoell
Downty fight was
n't much of a
scrap. Downey out
weighed Schoell.
The prhoc UShade
mill was a corker.
Shade won the de
cision. but the clev
er Schoell put up a
good battle from
gong to gong. In
both of Schoells
•scraps In this city
his opponents have
been the 0fr£rris“or.
The Buffalo welter, im doubt, will
let Bchlaifer rush the battle tonight.
However, should Bchoell elect to wade
Into Bchlaifer and exchange blow for
blow with the "Kid" It would please
1 lie Omaha tighter as he l> made for
slugging.
Third Fight for N< hlaifrr.
Tonight's tight for Bchlaifer will be
his third one this month. Marly in
the month he fought "Billy" Wells,
then on last Friday at. Duluth he
battled Date Shade. The "Kid" is In
good condition and ready for a tough
• battle, according to his trainer,
"Billy” lTvlck.
The semi windup will bring together
two middleweigfUs whose middle |
names me ‘'Fight." Honor Sheridan j
of Sioux City is one and Johnny Strike :
1 . of Akron, O., Is the other. Thesi
middles met onee before In Sioux j
City and the natives up there still
talk about the fight.
"Tiny" Herman of Omaha and
"Farmer" Lodge will exchange blows
the first event, a 10 round contest.
Q. The players of the r- >i ng
near the f-od of the game hegi.i pi -.ulng
the ball bark and forth to each oth**r un- I
der the opponents* goal. An argument |
arose as to whether this was sportsman
like. The claim was made the referee |
could stop It. Is this so?
A. The referee cannot. There Is noth
ing In the amateur or profeeional code to
prevent this “stalling."
(J. A player shoots r floor goal Ttefore I
r*fcree blows Ms whistle nnother player
)f same team shoots snother. Does sec

dribbler nor get in tils way to stop him.
Neither Is the dribbler allowed to charge
Into an opponent. One must egc such a
play to Judge It.
How to flay Itaske-t Hall.
Defense. Your style of defense* depends
pietty much upon Ihn makeup of your
test#. If your player* are smart, strong
snd fast, any system will work w**||. If
they are Inexperienced and slow, then «
particular stylo la necessary. There are
Several type* of defense, sll good within
c rtaln limits The first defense* t hs
man-to-man defense, in which each plays#
covers bis min ss closely as possible, no
matter where he goes, has been discarded
by most coaches A f< w teiUn* still usn
it This type of defense requires great
ipred and endurance from every member
of the five To be sucessfut with It
•very one of your plHpr* roust bo Able
to run fsst enough to stay with Ills op
ponent every time he alsrls down the
floor.
Herman, In his first start in Omaha,
tacked the kayoe sign on on Jim
Marples in the third round. Lodge
was scheduled to meet Herman last
month, but the bout was canceled for
some reason. „
Herman and Lodge belong to the
heavyweight class and each owns a
reputation of being a hard hitter.

This Is a tale calculated to wring i

concern* the distressing predicament
of Frankie Schoell, the two fisted

As a bookie would put It, his name

Frankie, who halls from Buffalo hy

seeking ambitions. One Is to have the
welterweight crown draped above Ills
noble brow; the oilier is to fight In
Madison Square Harden, which, being
advantageously located where the long
green grows Just a little bit longer
than any other place In the universe,
Is the box fighter's paradise.
But, although Madison Hquur? Har

Private Race
Joe Johnson, the rotund sportsman
who operates the Western Heating
and Plumbing company, 1810 St.
Marys avenue, thinks h • knows horse
flesh when he sees it.
Charlie Creighton, son of the old
Kentucky breeder, John D. Creighton,
believes no man lives who knows more
about blood lines than he does.
And therein lies the cause of a
heated debate between these two
friends, which culminated in two pri
vate races being arranged with a bet
of $1,000 on each race,
Jie it known that Johnson is the
owner of Liberty, a pacer with a mark
of 2:04:i and fYisco Bo, a 4 year-old
, green trotter.
Creighton gyn* a pacer named
Charley Watts and Doir t'ozko, a 4
year-old trotter. Btith th- ■/- harness
animals are green, but have some
aristocratic parentage and also fast
breeders' marks,
So Johnson has wagered that his
pacer, Liberty, can beat Creighton's
Charley Watts, and Frisco Bo can
show his hoof coverings to Don Cozko.
Marvin Childs trains Creighton's
horses and Hoy Owens has Johnson's
The two Omaha trainers have been
ordered to get the horses in racing
form and in March or April, when the
animals will have been conditioned
for racing, a private race will be
staged at Ak Sar-Ben, at w hich
friends of the two turfites will be
invited to attend.
Johnson thinks Liberty is in a class

cles were stirred today over the re
ported formation of a new eight-club
circuit, sponsored by the major
leagues, among eastern cities in the
I'nited States and Canada as a drive
against Class A A minors in the draft
war. The new kagu* would be called
either the Continental or Interallied.
While reports that the proposed
league would have the backing of

by himself, and to say that another
pacer can whirl shoes in that steed s
face is to tread upon dangerous
ground.
Liberty started 23 times last-year
and every time was in the money,
placing fust 10 times, second twi^e
and once third. He was owned by
another Omahau last season and
Johnson tried to buy him. but with
out success. Ho wh':n Liberty was
sent to Chicago this fall to a stork

purchased him for 12,500.
