E Knights of the
Stuffed Gauntlet
will trot forth to
night to do battle
i n the squared
arena over at the
Gity auditorium.
Eight followers of
t h e gloves ha\ T
been engaged by
the Spanish Amer
ican War Veter
ans, and in all, 30
rounds of action
are on the pro
gram.
In the main event we have "William
Francis Ryan and Morrie (Kid)
Schlalfer. The former purchases his
flothing in Cincinnati, while Schlalfer
receives his mail in this city. These
two welterweights are down on the
card for a 10-round mill and should
grind out plenty action.
Schlalfer Is well known In Omaha.
He's fought in an Omaha ring about
as many limes as the next one. His
ability to fight Is no secret.
But just a little doi»e on this Ryan
person. "Billy" is no novice when it
conies to slinging the leather mittens
X'o sirro. The Cincinnati welter
opened his glimmers one cold day in
February, 1S97. The place was Cin
cinnati. He started sailing on the
sea of fistiania in 1915 and has been
cruising around with success ever
since. “Billy” has fought 'em all, tali
and small. Ilis fistic record is dotted
with knockouts. Only twice during
his eight-year ring career has Ryan
taken the roiuit. Jack Britton knock
ed out the Buckeye In the 11th round
back in 1929.
The Cincinnati lad is a fighter who
battles along about the same lines of
Sohlaifer. He's one of those sluggers
who is bound to make things snappy
While he is in the ring. In his train
ing bouts he has show n plenty ag
gressiveness and a good, quick left
that carries quite a jolt. Ilis right
( mitt Isn't paralyzed and comes into
play pretty oftPii
Ryan has an entirely different style
of fighting than Johnny Karr. Schlaif
er's last opponent. The Buckeye's
style is more on the order of “Billy"
"Wells, the English welter.
As for Schlalfer. The "Kid" is In
good condition and can be relied upon
to put up Ids usual good fight.
All the fighters will tip the scales
at 3 this afternoon at the Business
Men's gymnasium.
Jimmy Shevlln, the popular man
ager of Ryan, chirps quite freely that
his protege will put the skids under
Schlaifer. If the easterner can turn
this trick he is "made" in Omaha.
It's a trick no welter has been aide
to perform in Omaha. Ryan and
Shp\lin gave The Omaha Bee news
boys a short talk on the ring game
last night at The Omaha Bee. Shevlin,
is a farmer circulation boss of one of
the Cincinnati papers.
In the semi-windup, Earl Puryear
meets Connie Curry, the latter of
Rinux City. In a It) round bout. This
fuss should be an interesting one from
the start
1 Two preliminary bouts are on the j
program.

A Tip for the Bound.
Bernard Darwin says: Against the
many temperamental vagaries on tho golf ]
course, the sovereign remedy is control. It
must l*o practiced even «s putting or play
ing other stroke*, and does not mean the
mere refraining from throwing clubs and
the like. It means, for example. the
avoiding of slack half hearted shots. In
this respect the leading professional* set
a wonderful example. The professional
I knows that one careless shot begets an
other, and he cannot afford to get care
I less.
