^ HE Metropolitan
(n p|| league will again
hand local Sunday
afternoon amateur
followers a series
of real treats when
the Class A sandlot
artists mix in four
| contests which
promise to be
among the out
standing of the sea
son. Perhaps the
clash which will
have most bearing
on the league
standings is slated
' for Fontenelle park
where [he Standard Laundry runpers
up to the league leading Murphys and
the Woodmen of the World who are
at present tied for third place with
the Nebraska Tiremen, will clash.
Should the Lodgemen win they will
slip up and fill the Laundry artists’
place aa second high rating. The
Murphy-Did Its have a tough job on
hafid at Athletic park In attempting
to keep a clean slate when they mix
with the Walter G. Clarkes who pulled
the big surprise last week by defeat
ing the Woodmen -gt Miller park. The
question Is can the Sportsmen con
tinue to rise from their slump or was
the sudden exhibition of high class
mere accident? The Barkers,
^Hfoers of class C will meet the
Vinton Merchants In the preliminary
to the big tilt.
K. of C. Meet Schneiders.
The Knights of Columbus clash with
:he S.hneider Electric nme at
Miller park while the f.. P. i.ngine
n w 11 try another comeback
net the Nebraska 'fires at Muny
’ i "h diamond. By the outcomes of
;his af ernoon battles there will
i!:rly be some changes in the stand
. -a of the Metro teams.
The Kinney Shoes and the Carter
r.-.'he club will tangle in a double ex
ibltlon at the latter's ball grounds
with the first game scheduled to start
it 1:30. The Clubmen seem to have
tho edge o* the Shoes but the two are
ip* to split the repeated bill on even
erms. The West S de Boosters and
he M. W. A. Omaha Camp of the
Southern loop art as the leadoff show
at Fontenelle. The Boosters are lead
ing the league with the Campers
close on their trail.
The Gate City lads will take a like
ly deciding step this afternoon when
the leaders and the two teams tied
for both second and third will battle
it out for higher rankings. The
Barkers seem to have a tough pick
while the Christ Children lock up
with the Leavenworth Merchants at
Thirty-second and Dewey. The Juniors
will have several of the Class B artists
in their lineups by virtue of the
Senior Christ Child aggregation drop
ping out of the Southern league race.
Beatrice Becominp: Good
Ball Town Says Grotte
Beatrice is fast becoming one of the
best baseball towns in the Nebraska
State league according to President
^Dick Grotte who has just returned

out the season and the fans are rapid
ly, rallying around the standard of
Manager AVllletts and his team of
youngsters.

Amateur Star Plays
Two Years Without
Making an Error
^icsse/l i
Frank (Moak) Russell, center fielder
for the Paxton Billiard team in the
American league, has played two sea
sons of amateur baseball in Omaha
without making an error. Last year
he was with the Knights of Columbus
Columblas, in the American league,
and batted 611. He accepted 61
chances in the outfield without a bob
ble. He played first base for three
games, getting two assists and re
cording 27 putouts, all without an
error being chalked up against him.
This year he has played In seven
games, with an average of three
chances each contest and he is yet to
drop the horsehide. He is hitting
well over the .300 clip, with Manager
Deuce Belford's league leaders. He
is not what you would call a hard
hitter, but the speed which he em
ployes in gping to first base is un
canny. He grips his bat long and
swings a nice follow through and is
off for first like a flash when he
clouts the apple.
Russell is 19 years of age and
played football and basket ball with
the Creighton Prep team two years
ago. He attended Creighton Arts for
a time and was touted as a possible
first string quarterback on the Blue
and White eleven.
Manila Promoters

Manila, June 23.—The Olympic
stadium here has raided Pancho
Villa, Filipino flyweight fighter who
recently defeated Jimmy Wilde, the
British titleholder, an offer of
$20,000 to fight Jose Suzara in
Manila. It is declared here that
such a battle would attract tlie
greatest crowd ever gathered for a
sporting event in the far east.
Whiskaway Equals
Track Mark in Win
Latonia, Ky., June 23.—Whiskaway,
the conqueror last year of Morvloh,
equalled the I-atonia track record
held by Cudgel for one mile and 70
yards of 1:41 4-S here today and he
won the Whltesburg handicap by a
neck from Prince K and Lady Mad
cap.
Whiskaway carried 113 pounds and

League Leaders
Hold Places in
Saturday Games
Hanscom Wildcats Surprised
With a Trouncing by
Parkvales.
Ry .H DD CROUKEN.
NOTHER lap of the Satur
day afternoon ama
teur title race was
rounded off yester
day with the league
leaders still keep
ing the blots of
(heir clean slates
with but one excep
tion. The Hanscom
U Wildcats were
llij lowned for the first
jlime unexpectedly
^ in the Southerh
f Sunday school loop.
“ The results of the
^remaining contests
were as expected
with several large scores using ie
eorded in what were looked upon as
promising close clashes. The W heel
ers and the M. E. Wops spent full
time at Riverview before the second
game was called without a single
score in seven frames of a clever ex
hibition.
The Kirschbrauns lengthened their
lead in the Creamery league by hand
ing the Fairmonts a 12 to 1 trouncing
while the David Coles stepped into
the runner up position by virtue of
the Fairmonts' defeat. The Guaran
tee Lifes were idle yesterday and thus
kept top ownership in the second
group of the Industrial league. The
Packing title tilt proved to be a run
away when the Cudahy artists con
tinued winning and outclassed the
Swifts at Athletic Park 16 to 4.
Start With Five-Run Lead.
The league leaders of the first di
vision of the "Y" league started off
with a five-run lead in the initial In
ning and were never threatened.
Ferris and Hiatt could not stop
the slugging of the Cudahy nipe.
while the mound ace, Zaporowsik, held
the Swifts in check throughout.
Craig, with two triples, one with the
hags loaded, and two singles out of
six trips >o bat, and Donahue, with
four hits out of five trials, carried off
slugging honors of the affair. The
Omaha Coppers flew high over the
United States Rubber team at Fonte
nelle and kept close behind for sec
ond honors in the league standings
The Clifton Hill outfit, leaders of
the North Church gathering,* with
seven wins now to their credit, shut
out the Walnut Hillers by a 14 to 0
score. Berwick was on the mound
for the winners. Maney West hurled
the Pearl Memorials to another vie- j
tory over the Olivet Baptists and j
took a firmer hold on second place.
Scoreless Tie.
The North Presbyterians, by vir
tue of their easy win, nearly slipped
into first place when the Wheelers
and the M. E. Wops fought seven
innings to a scoreless tie. The
Wheelers are knotted with the North
Presbyterians for the leadership of
the Southern Church loop. Hill and
Custer were on about even terms
after the septem of stanzas, both
pitching shutout ball. The contest
will likely be played off as a twi
light affair. The Dietz Memorials
set hack the Castelar Presbyterians
in an attempt to rise from the cellar
post, while the Immanuels, who have
dropped out, sal as witnesses.
The Florence Presbyterians remain
on top of the North Sunday School
scramble, while the hirst Christians
stepped Into the lead of the Southern
loop for the first time this season
when the Hanscom Wildcats dropped
their first contest to the Parkvale
Presbyterians In a slugfest at Mason
school grounds. The Wheeler Greeks j
triumphed over the Westminister I
crew, 12 to 2.
Women Fans Making This Biggest
n rn
Baseball Year. Says Ban Johnson
j
By RONALD KRKBS.
Cnlvcrsnt Service Mnff Correspondent.
HICACJO, June
23.—Women fans
deserve much of
the credit for
making this one
of baseball's most
prosperous years,
Kan .1 on n s o n.
American league
\ pres I d e n t, told
!\ Internati onai
j News Service to
t day after addiqK
\ up attend a n c e
figures for near
"ly half the season.
"The frequent attendance or « om
en" he Bald, "hns added such refine
ment to baseball that It no longer ap
peals only to a rough and tumble
crowd, but to a class of sport loving
people that ranks with those who at
tend the finest class theaters and
even the opera.
"Years ago the few women one saw
at a baseball game were there out of
curiosity, They asked foolish ques
tlons and had not even a vague Idea
of what It was all about. Today the
many women in the stands are there
because they love the sport, Just ns
they love the drama, the dance and
Out of doors activities.
“Know Strategy.
"They know the strategy of the
game and they recognize the skill
ful player.
"The mere pressure of women In
the stands has accomplished exactly
what baseball fought so hard for
years to effect —It has eliminated row
dyism. “
Johnson recalled the days of near
ly two decades ago when the specta
tors overwhelmed all whom they did
not like with barrages of pop bottles
and eornmented;
"The average 'hard guy' is less apt
to make a spectaele of himself If
there are women near. It s Just the
same ns the' tourneys of medieval
days. On the field ,,f panic knights
were prone to hack rich other to
hits with battle nns and broadswords
without miu h attention to nicety but
at thn Joust, where each had his Indy
I
in th» stands, they became very
gentlemanly and an atmosphere of re
finement prevailed.
Draws an F.vrrllrnt Class.
"Baseball has not become a molly
coddle's game by any means. But It
has changed from a free-for-all sort
of affair to an entertaining sport that
draws an excellent class of people."
Johnson said that "Indies' day" had
drawn greater crowds to the parks
this season than any other day of
the week in past years.
The first six weeks of play this '
year, he said, had attracted 337.ni)0
more persons than the same period '
of 1922. This, he emphasized, was
despite a spring considered phenomen- .
Ini for Its coolness and disagreeable
weather.

Witnesses Examined
in Coast League Case
Los Angeles, Cal., June 23.—Taking
of depositions was practically com
pleted today in behalf of the defense
in the suit of Charles L. Lockard
against William H. McCarthy, presi
dent of the Pacific Coast league, to
compel McCarthy to recognize Lock
ard as a league director representing
the Seattle club.
Two witnesses were examined in
an effort to substantiate McCarthy's
contention that Lockard is not en
titled to recognition because William
Wrlgley, jr., part owner of the I.os
Angeles club, was financially inter
ested In the Seattle club. James O.
Moore, vice president of a Los An
geles bank from which Lockard and
Wade Killefer borrowed $125,000 to
buy control in the Seattle organiza
tion. said the money was loaned on
a note endorsed by Wrigley, for which
another note was substituted later,
endorsed by Robert Killefer, cousin
of Wade, and W. D. Hubbard. He
said he w-as satisfied of the financial
responsibility of the latter two.

Gibbons" Friends
Believe Dempsey
to Be Outboxed
However, a Victory for Tom
my W ould Surprise His
Hometow'n
Folks.
By Associated 1’resa.
St. Paul, June 23.—When Jack
Dempsey answers the bell In the prize
ring at Ph«lby, Mont., July 4. to de
fend his heavyweight title, he will
meet a style of opposition somewhat
different from that he has faced since
he took the crown from Jess Willard.
In Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul, the
champion will find a boxer of consum
mate skill, a man with a "mean
punch,” not afraid to mix in a toe to
toe exchange, gnd a ring veteran who
has never been knocked off his feet.
Gibbons fans recognize the power of
the champion, the danger in his ter
rific rushes. But they look to Gib
bons’ boxing ability to go a long way
toward offsetting Dempsey's rushing
tactics.
These same boxing fans, who have
been fighting the Dempsey-Gibbons
battle in clubs and other places of con
gregation ever since the word name
that the fight was "on,'' are not. as a
whole, boasting of what Gibbons will
do.
Confidence Behind Him.
It would be an exaggeration to say
that In any considerable quarter of
the challenger's home town is there
, confidence that he will defeat Demp
s< y. Hls’own brother, Mike Gibbons?
i once famed as "The Phantom” in mid
I dleweight circles, does not feel that
confidence.
But there is always "the chance."
and in Gibbons’ hands that prospect
brightens for many. And if there is
not confidence, there is hope, and that
alone will attract hundreds from here
to the fight. Victory for Gibbons, how
ever. would be a surprise in h:s home
town.
All of which does not detract from
the ability of the challenger, for the
I homefoik to view that no one ‘is
better qualified to test the merit of
the champion, not even excepting
l.uis Firpo, the South American, who
recently has loomed large on the fight
ing skyline.
Gibbons is 29. one year older than
Dempsey, "official" records to the
contrary notwithstanding. His height
is G feet, 3 4 inch, within a fraction of
an inch of Dempsey, and in weigh: he
| will enter the ring around 178 pounds,
while Dempsey probably will weigh
in at 190 pounds.
Jack Has Reach Advantage.
Dempsey has an advantage of 2 1-2
inches in reach, as Gibbons' measure
ment in this respect is 71 12 inches.
This is a recognized advantage, but
| Gibbons' friends hope this is one of
I the things superior boxing ability
mav overcome.
The complete measurements of the
two men. based on the latest authori
tative figures and recognized as the
best fighting condition of the two are
