"Tiny" Jim Herman. Omaha's entry in the heavyweight division, put Jack McCarthy to sleep in the first round of a scheduled 10 frame affair at Butte, Mont. In knocking out dabby Schlalfer ended the ring career of a once promi nent boxer. The Omaha welter won the first round and in the second started after flabby. He rushed the Ham mond, Ind., fighter to the ivpes and then sent a right cross to the jaw. Clabby took the count of 8, regained his pins and took a right to the jaw. The veteran went down for a count of 9, got up and fell down again. The referee then raised Kchlaifer's hand In token of victory. Tlte Herman McCarthy fight was short and sweet. Herman scored a knockout over his opponent in the first round. It was "Tiny's" tfeird knockout victory over this battler. sy>^a-T nES, we have no Omaha Western league ball club. Those Omaha Buffaloes of ours slipped another notch in the standing yesterday when Tulsa trimmed them. 9 to 4, in the Hrst game of the series. It was a tough blow, mates. Des Moines, by its II to 3 victory over the St. Joseph Saints, crawled up into the first division »( the standings. The litilTalnes flopped down into the second class, being four points below the Boosters in fifth position. Can't understand the Buffaloes, \t the start of the season tile club looked like a sure thing for second place. Keen up ’til a mouth ago the Buffaloes were rigid In I lie rare for second place, lint now 'tls a different story. Somehow or other the club isn't hitting and fielding like it should. Of course, the Herd isn't getting the pitching it deserves. Maybe this is the cause of the team’s slump. Home days Omaha gets enough hits to win two hall games, hut the Buf faloes fall down on the bases. Yes terday they collected 10 hits, enough to win, but they left nine inrn stranded on the sacks. \Vitb the addition of Oeorge Boeh ler, leading hurler In the Western league last season, and the purchase of Frank Wetel, new outfielder, things may plekunp. But the Herd must travel mighty fast If it expects to overtake Tulsa, let alone Wlehita, for first place. Don't know much about this bird Wetzel. Ills record isn't in the book. Oakland of the Pa cific Coast league recently released Wetzel. The Buffaloes and Tulsa meet In another game today. Ho do the Des Moines Boosters and HI. Joseph Saints. Now, if the Buffaloes win today and the Boosters lose, thou Omaha will go hack Into the first division, but if they lose, well, they lose, that's ail. f f ■pi EMI’BEY will make short I 1 work of Flrpo." —' "That bird hasn't got a chance with Dempsey.” "Flrpo can have my money when he fights Dempsey." "His name will I>« Flop o and not Flrpo when he meets Dempsey." These were some of the remarks that flew inlo our ears over at I he Business Men's gymnasium when I.uis Yngol Klrpo, the “Wild Bull of the Pampas," worked out for his coming Imiit with Homer Nuiltli. Pir|H>, as you all know, Is going to greet Mister Jack Dempsey with in the hempen strands Septem ber 14. Klrpo took a short workout yes terday. He didn’t overwork hlm self by any means. Ifi' punched (lie hag for about sit minutess and managed to knock the hag across the room a couple of times, just to show the crowd that his right hand wss still In working order—I he right that felled Willard some few weeks ago. When It raino to skipping the ro|io Klrpo was pretty graeeftil for a husky chap. He seems to favor Ids left foot a lot, Josl like he fa vors Ids right hand when ptinrhing the hag. After skipping the rope lulls Angel crawled Into tho ring and shadow boxed for two rounds. Its didn't Im press those present with his footwork. Maybe he didn't want to. Maybe ho couldn't. He honked his right and left mitts through the ozone and shot uppercuts Into the air. Very seldom during Ills shadow boxing did Flrpo use n right jab, a Jab Jimmy De -___J Forrest, his trainer, has tried to teafh Luis to use in the ring. Jack Demp sey's jab was developed by tills same De Forrest, While Firpo's workout yesterday was short and sweet, it gave a little line on the man who will meet Demp sey. Ills workout showed, however, that he means business, has a good right arm, is flat footed in the ring and is a slugger and not a clever boxer. Of course, heavyweight fight ers are not noted for their science, but Firpo appears awkward in the ring. He will work out this after noon with Johnny J,ee. Eddie Hazento Join Washington The good news bird has returned to Omaha to twit In the ears of Thomas W. Hagen. 4802 Florence boulevard, father of the renowned Eddie Hagen, formerly prominent on local sand lots, and who will from now on be heard of under the colgrs of the Washington baseball club of the American league. Eddie sent word “back home” of his sudden rise and surprised the old berg. Hagen was playing stellar ball with the Laurel, Mississippi, club of thn Cotton States league early this season, but recently took a minor rise to the Memphis club of the South ern loop. While patrollng the right field garden for the laurel organiga tlon, Eddie led the league In hitting, pounding the apple for an average of well over ,3Rn. Resides working well with the willow, Hagen led the Cotton States with stolen bases. Two weeks ago thn Taiurel club sold Hagen to the Memphis club and the cash consideration netted the Omahan a neat sum of "berries” for himself. During his short perform ance with the Southern league the sports scribes of the southern dailies lauded him ns the find of the season, praising his fielding ns well as hi* league-leading tendencies in hitting and sack pilfering.

Sailors Face Tropic Terror in Open Boat Two Portuguese Fishermen, Fatigued and Hungry, at Mercy of Elements , for 63 Hours. Honolulu, T. H„ July 31.—Half mad and echoing rn Its every word the stnrk terror of the open sea was the story told here by Manuel De Mello Pereira and John Piezai. Portuguese, fishermen, on their return to port after t>G hours at sea in a small open boat, with a quart bottle of water and a half loaf of bread as their sole pro visions. The return of the two men—one in a delirious condition and each so se verely sunburned and hunger and thirst-stricken as to make their re covery doubtful for a time—ended a search which had extended through out the waters of the Hawaiian group. Pereira and Piaeal left their homes in Honolulu on a Saturday morning, telling their families that they woulifc return that afternoon. They took n small boat and started fishing near Quarantine island, at the entrance to Honolulu harbor. They fished for sev eral hours, when they noticed that the boat was drifting farther and farther out from shore. Pereira attempted to row back inside the reef, but a strong wind carried the small boat farther from shore, and by daylight on Sun day morning they were out of sight of land. Wind Opposed Them. "The wind was so strong I bad no chance to bring the boat back to shore,’’ Pereira said through lips that were parched and swollen. "Every time I pulled on the oars we drifted farther from land. Sunday morning, I think it was, I tried hard to make shore, but it was no use. The sun was so hot and we only had one bot tle of water. We had a loaf of bread, but it was hard to eat it because our throats were so dry—and the sun was terrible. "All day Sunday we drifted. Many tlmess the wavps almost upset our boat, and I though the end had come. I saw a ship, a big ship, Sunday some time; but they didn’t see us. 1 waved my arms, and Piazal cried for help, but It was no use. "Our water was soon gone, al though we tried to drink onl< a little drop at a time. That night we saw many fishing sampans, but none of them saw us. I tried to paddle close to them, but the wind kept the boat going farther away. Sunday night wp wore close to the Island of Kauai, and then the wind shifted and carried us In the other direction One Man Crazed. "Piazal got crazy and kept yelling all the time. It was terrible—no water, and I thought maybe the b< »L would Up over. One time I thought maybe it would be better for me to jump overboard. There were many sharks in the mater, but it would be better to have a shark kill me than Elsie Ferguson Wins Divorce Suit in Paris i __ Miss Klsi« FeiKUson. Paris.—The “swift and silent’’ di vorce mill of Paris operated Thurs day, July 26, for Elsie Ferguson, handing down to her an absolute de cree from her second husband, Thom as Benedict Clarke, jr., of New York, son of the well known art collector. Miss Ferguson charged Clarke with "wounding indifference" and also with nonsupport for the last several years. The suit was uncontested Clarke appearing only at the beginning when lie formally recognized the jur isdiction of the French courts, per mitting Miss Ferguson to obtain her liberty in the simple and inexpensive Paris fashion. to stay another day in that boat. And then the following day we drift ed and drifted, ami the next morning we made out Diamond Head, at the approached to Honolulu harbor. Then I started to row hard, and finally we got Inside the harbor.” Pereira managed to bring ihe boat within 10 feet of one of the piers in the harbor before he collapsed com pletely.
