Fund Bouts
By DAVIS J. WALSH.
International News Service Sports Editor.
New York, April 20.—Just as water
geeks Its level, our esteemed l^.vy
weight pugilists are about to gfther
in and around the happy hunting
ground, otherwise known as Broad
way, for the big pay-off May 12.
Jess Willard, as lean as the shank
of a grasshopper, if the exhorters can
be believed, is due here tomorrow and
will hasten to the nearest scales s<5
that all can behold and be comfort
ed. Jack McAullfe, II, is expected
today.
Senor Firpo, the well known human
being, and Floyd Johnson, who may
or may not meet Willard in the fea
ture bout of the Mlik Fund show,
are already here, having nothing bet
ter to do. Johnson finally has beet^
granted permission to fight Funny
Frederick Fulton in Jersey City on
Monday night and may live to regret
'he fact. Frederick has an abiding
fondness for the horizontal posture,
but is always dangerous. The winner
of the bout will go on with Willard
and our only concern is that the
worst man loses. You never can tell
when they are both had.
Wise Money on Jess.
Little is known of McAuliffe, who
is to engage the man eating senor at
the Milk Fund show, and the .most
of that is unfavorable. He is thought
to nourish a dash of lavender some
where in his system, and therefore,
Is the logical candidate for Flrpo'a
immediate attentions. • The Argentin
an's motto, if any, Is pick them soft
and hit them hard.
Willard, of course, is the dominat
ing figure with Dempsey picking coal
in Utah and Harry Wills a victim
of protective coloration. Jess left
Broadway many weeks ago merely as
a discredited ex-champion, his reputa
tion beaten down flat by the con
stant pounding of an adverse press.
That is all off now, however. He re
turns as a first class betting proposi
tion, who will carry all the wise
money with him on May 12, regard
less of whether his adversary is
Johnson or Fulton.
oeml-Ltber, Isays \> alsh.
Stories of Willard's sincerity In
training, drifting back easi from
Kxcelsior Springs, havff served to re
habilitate the Kansan In popular
esteem to some extent. John him
self has done the rest.
He Is hardly In the form he was
the night he beat Brennan, and only
recently engaged in a. questionable
draw with'one Joe Lehman, a third
class middleweight.
Further than that. It seemed to be
the Impression of the New York state
athletic commission that it was nec
essary to protect Johnson from
Frederick Face-down Fulton. In the
mining camps, they shot men tor
less. It Is semi libel, viewed from Its
most charitable angle.

Horners Won’t Be So Easy
for Babe in New Field
By THOMAS L. CLMMISKKY.
Inlvcrtal Service SporU Editor.
New York, April 20.—Babe Kuth
yesterday hit the ball 480 feet on the
fly and it bounded and rolled 20 feet
more—and went for only a triple. Tho
great playing field reaches of the
Yankee stadium had handicapped the
Babe.
The blow, one of the hardest hit
and farthest driven Babe has ever
made, came in the sixth Inning of the
Yankee-Red Sox game, with George
Murray pitching. Strangely, the ball
waa smashed into left center, and on
a low line.
The Babe, a left handed hitter, hits
to right field approximately nine
times out of 10. Generally, in the
past, he has hit the ball far aloft.
In his first wonderful homer into the
right field bleachers in the opening
day game, he hit the ball on a line,
not more than 30 feet from the
vividly remain in the minds of the
throng that saw him do it.
ground. And today, it was the same,
but more terrific.
* If Babe had connected for such a
wallop at the Polo grounds, late home
of the Yankees, the ball on the fly
would have cleared the center field
bleac hers fence, and gone high up in
them.
Query: •
Will the Babe nave to hit as he
never hit before to make homers in
center and left center at the Yankee
sVtdium, particularly as fielders play
so deep when he’s up? *
Yes, folks, he will.
And hitting to right for homers,
unless In close to the foul line, will
be some job, too. The right foul line
at the stadium is about the same as
at the Polo grounds, but then the
bleachers fence slopes far more sharp
ly away.
But the Babe has proven he can hit
homers In right. He showed it in the
opening game in a manner that will

Delante Is owned by McClain and

colt in his maiden races at Ak-Sar
Ben field a year ago. He also raced
her In Omaha In September, 1922 and
went from here to Hawthorne, Chi

At Tijuana this winter he raced
with the best colts and handicap
horses the east and west could bur

was to far or fast for him. This big
colt won two handicaps at Tijuana,
winning over large fields of the best

Firemen and Police to
Meet in “Rubber” Game
If making threat* constituted a
crime, Jos Wavrln, manager of the
police department team, and Art Ol
son, pilot of the Firemen's team,
might bo passing some drab hour*
in the none too popular "bobby hatch"
today.
Joe and Art met at Sixteenth and
Farnam yesterday and decided then
and there to arrange for the annual
game between the fire and police de
partments.
But they couldn't agree on the
date or place and finally decided to
refer the matter to their “chiefs"—
Dan Butler of the police and John
Hopkins of the firemen.
Wavrin accused Art of trying to
evade a game this season because he
feared his team' would get "thrashed
within an Inch of its life."
Art's reply Inferred the firemen
would make mince meat of the police.
Teams of the two departments have
played for the post four years and
honors have been equally divided—
each team having won two games.
This year's conflict will be the “rub
ber” affair and both aggregations arc
bent on being returned the victor.
The "coppers” won last year, 7 to 2.
Wavrin "modestly" admits the firo
laddies haven't a ghost of a chance

that's a pretty good day's work. Of

out of six chances against an oppos

Griffin got a triple and a homer,
together with his three singles, all
of which gave him a total base fig
ure of 10, good enough In any man's
league. Besides swinging a wicked
stick, "Pug” stole two bases, scored
rne run and put out two Witches.

Telephone Is True
Test of Courtesy,
Pastor Tells Club
Rev. Calhoun. Addressing Ki
wanians. Deplores Commer
cial Trend in Virtue and
Raps Club Members.
"The true proof of r man's soul Is
his telephone.”’
This. In substance, was the assertion
of Rev. Paul Calhoun In a talk be
fore the Omaha Kiwanis club at Hotel
Rome Friday noon. His subject was
“Courtsey.”
"Courtesy to be genuine,” the
speaker said, "must flow from the
soul, like the song of a canary, or the
fragrance of a rose.
"The real test of courtesy comes
when the restraint is taken off. Con
sider that 20th century soul-prover,
the telephone. The man who hides
behind a telephon% to be discourteous
to a little telephone girl la a man who
| knows nothing of courtesy.”
He deplored the, modern day com
mercialization of virtue and declared
that-Christmas and liaster have I"*t
much of their original significant*
as a result of commercialization.
“I know men of today who are most
courteous In their places of buslnes",
am! In their noonday luncheon clubs,
who treat their wives as though they
were women of the Btreet, and their
children as though they had no right
to be In the world," the speaker con
tinued.
"Virtue, beauty, character, wealth
and power are the ingredient* of
courtesy. By wealth, I mean Wealth
of personality, and by power I mean
the power of the soul."

Announcing the Opening
Of Our New
Mezzanine Fountain
The Most Unique and Beautifully
Appointed Fountain in Omaha
UST inside our seventeenth street en
' trance-a bit of old Florence that carries
an irresistible appeal to push aside the gate and to enter
so enticing a garden spot, where dainty maidens in
rainbow dresses serve delectable refreshments.
The soft green of the
tinted walls, the hanjiony of
color and line in wrought
iron tables, chairs and
, benches, and the shaded
light of amber bulbs reflect
ed in mirrored chandelieres
make our Mezzanine foun
tain a delightful place in
which to enjoy even the
shortest noon-hour or to
pleasantly break a shopping
trip.
China is of Italian influ
ence brightly patterned in
flowers, glassware is green,
while wrought iron table
lamps, dimly shaded, reflect
their shadowed light from
penant crystal drops of
green.
The fountain itself is of
Italian marble and mahog
any—the finest appointment
known.
Opening Day, Saturday, '.Ve Especially Invite You
