Up-to-Date News and Gossip of Interest to Sport Fans Jake Isaacson, “Father of Amateur Baseball” in Omaha, to Give Up Duties AKE ISAACSON is gonna nult. The man who oiganlzed amateur baseball in Omaha and , who nursed it to its present high plane, Is to step 'down and out.'' He's going to let others try their hand at running it. Although Isaacson’s confirmation is lacking, word treks in from authentic sources that the "big chief" will wield the "blgstlck” only a short time more. Isaacson is going into tho haberdashery’ business, says this same dependable informant. Frank Jacobs, member of the board of director*, admitted there whs “some truth” In the report this morn ing. He did rot deny that the Munic ipal Baseball association directors probably will employ a secretary at ?125 a month to do the work “Jake ’ was doing for nothing. Hummel to Run It It Is proposed to establish an of fice In the city recreational depart ment of the city hall. It is said, and it may come to pass that Park Com missioner Joe Hummel will take a hand and help finance the proposi tion. Isaacson realized last season that municipal baseball had outgrown the system of being operated by officers who do not receive any recompense for their services. Isaacson devoted two-thirds of his time gratis to the association last year and complaints were heard that he “wasn't on the job like he used to be.” Municipal baseball In St. Louis Is operated by the park department and is declared by some to be a model i plan. Organized in 1914 Whether Hummel will want to as sume responsibility of conducting the sand lot game, which furnishes the major amusement at city parks, re mains to be seen. Isaacson organized the sandlotters In 1914 Into an organization then known as the Omaha Amateur Base ball association. He served as presi dent of the body until entering tho army in 1918 when he was succeeded by Joe Wavrin, who had been acting in the capacity of vice president. On his return from the service in 1919, Isaacson reorganized the ama teur aa the Municipal Baseball as sociation and A1 Scott was chosen president. Omaha business men were induced to serve as directors and l«aacson assumed the duties of secte tary. That organization is still intact. ' Karr Chants Freely About Stopping Kid Bubbling over with confidence, or sorely afflicted with the old “ego, ’ Johnny Karr, Cleveland welterweight, arrived In Omaha this morning and took his first workout this afternoon at the Business Men's gymnasium. Dave Shade, Frankie Schoell, Billy Wells’ et al. express the most pro found respect for Morrie fichlalfer’s fighting ability. But not Karr. "He's 'nary thing,” he said this morning. "I’ll make cat's meat »f hint In less than 10 rounds. Didn't I hit him with everything but the I ring post and fight license at Daven-1 port the other night? '■Well, that's just a sample of what ! I'm gonna do Thursday. Karr frankly admits he doesn't like Bchlaifer. "He’s too cocky." he explains. But Karr's rhapsody failed to im press Morrie. "I’m about due to atop some bird •nd I know of no one I’d rsther kayo rhea the Cleveland braggard,” chirped the "Kid.” Karr wee accompanied here by Johnny Papke, a middleweight spar ring partner, and Frank McGlnty, a former major league umpire.

Then his buddy, Dunn's son, died, and rath er than cause the grlef-strlcken parent any more worry, Bentley packed his old kitbag and hied him south to Join Manager McGraw and j the Giants. Murphy Gets “Glass’’ in Jaw i HANKIE MURPHY i seems to have devel- ! oped "glassites" in his jaw since his ap- ' pearance in an Oma- | ha ring against Mor- : rie Schlalfer. Paul Doyle, one of ' the leading contend- i ers for Mickey Walk- ! er’s crown, stopped ! the colossal state product in flva rounds at Madison Square Garden, ] recently. Taking a dive at the hands of Doyle j was in a way forgiveable, for he's a i hard socking welter, but last night the “Mile High " city fighter whs stopped In one round by Jack VinceUI. a Salt Lake fighter, unknown outside the bounds of Utah. All of which leads to the conclusion that Murphy has developed a weak ness to take ’em on the whiskers or if following the precedent set by many boxers to “take the easiest way out’’ —a quick road to oblivion.
