By FRED S. HUNTER. Atlantic City, Sept. 8.—Opportunity threatens to stumble across the thres hold of Tiny Jim Herman. Modest _ docile Tiny Jim, it was uncovered here today, has beeu offered the flattering sum of $15,000, plus all expenses both ways for himself and his manager, Jack Lewis, to journey to Buenos Aires next November for a ring Joust with Lu|s Angel Firpo/ the socalled wild bull of the pampas. The offer was dispatched to Jack Lewis by Alfred Mayer, who repre sents a syndicate of Buenos Aires capitalists who want Firpo to come back home immediately after Louis' ''quarrel" with Jack Dempsey. There are no strings to the offer Mayer said. The ofTer stands whether Firpo wins or loses in his fistic tilt with the cham ion. Buenos Aires Wants to See Hint. Buenos Aires is wild to see* its favor ite son in action against an American pugilist, Mayer says. It matters not whether Luis wins or loses with Dempsey, he maintains. So immedi ately after the battle next Friday, Luis Angel will prepare to hasten back to the Argentine and collect while the collecting is good. Herman would make a most ad mirable opponent for Firpo in his first homecoming fight. Mayer de clared, because of Tiny Jim's size. It would not do to put Firpo against a man smaller in statue than Luis and Herman has the required weight and build. Mayer hopes Luis will accept the $15,000 offer although he has receiv. ed no reply from Jack as yet. Mayer says he might even possibly boost the ante if Lewis doesn’t think the $15,001) figure quite large enough. Omaha fight fans will remember Mayer. He was in Omaha with Luis Angel at the time of the latter’s "woeful setto" with the grotesque Homer Smith. Mayer is traveling with Firpo as staff correspondent of a Buenos Aires paper, but he also is business repre sentative of the Argentine syndicate interests in tho turbulent bull. {.’••it is quite apparent that Firpo and his cortege have been moved to more strenuous efforts by some of the re cent caustic comment that has em anated from some of the visiting ex perts. He is now trying to put a lit tle zip into his training. Until the last day or two Firpo has been train ing much as he did in the Business Men’s gym in Omaha prior to the Smith fiasco. (iel* the liazz. The result as might be expected, was a shower of razz. Firpo tried to explain that his case called for differ ent measures than the ordinary Amer ican boxer, but the explanation only drew a fresl^supply of the same brand of fruit. So now Luis Angel Is trying to speed things up around his diggings at the Atlantic City driving park. The principal pep artist In the camp itl John Lester Johnson, husky and dusky ar.d willing. John I.ester once succeeded In busting a couple of Jack Dempsey's ribs but that was in the days when John Sudenbetg fought draws with the man who now holds the championship crown and since that time the passing years have some what enfeebled John Lester's huge frame. Firpo. however, continues to use the same style and manner that marked his merry-go-round frolic with Homer Smith in Omaha a month ago. He stands perfectly upright, holds his left hand as though he didn't know what “w do with It. and struts around the ring like a five-ton truck. His sparr ing partners hit him a million times each round, more or less, while he re mains content to swing every 20 or SO seconds, In other words whenever he sees an opening as apparent as a barn door. His ring style Is peculiar but not at all Impressive. The undomesticated bovine of the pampas had no hope of successfully employing boxing craft In his clash with the Utah mauler. He is going to depend entirely and exclusively upon his wallop. Strange as It may seem. Firpo Is not cutting much of s swathe in Atlantic City, llis training camp Is unequal to the competition of the many attractions along the boardwalk and business Is bum. Firpo will never get rich on the money he takes In at the training camp gate.

Creighton’s Grid Prospects Bright for Coming Season Formal Practice on Hilltop Will Begin Under Coach Wynne Saturday. If preseason dope Indications have anything to do with the strength of a football team, Creighton university will have one of the strongest teams in its gridiron history when the Blue pigskin battalion scampers onto the field for its initial game this fall. Nine letter men will be among the cand dates to answer the call of Coach Wynne, who this year Is spend ing his first season as the Hilltop coach. Several yearlings also will be on hand struggling for positions on the eleven, which is facing a stilt schedule. Freshmen In Lineup. This year Creighton followers will witness for the first time an influx of players who have spent one season training in Creighton methods with out actually engaging in games. This wus necessitated by the decision of the athletic board of the institution to adhere to the Missouri Valley con ference rules with a view of seeking admission into that loop later. As a result, several promising maulers are this year out for places on the eleven, after having shown their wares last year as freshmen. Captain McAleer. Neary. Kelley, Yechout. Spelcher, Kuhn, Van Aeke ran, Kean and Gayer are the veterans of last year's squad who will be seen in the blue again this season. Hickey, Flyijn, Allen, Bertogllo, Walsh, Brennan, Lower and Fit* gibbon are among the more promising of the new men upon whom Wynne will depend to fill the gaps left in the last year’s team by graduation. Mahoney and I.oupke Are Back. In addition to these players, Wynne also has Ike Mahoney and Leupke, who were out of the lineup last year because of Ineligibility, but who were letter men the previous year. These two men, both of whom perform on the wings, are slated by the eariy dopesters to occupy the positions lef* vacant by Paynter and Herzog. Coach Wynne will arrive some time this week. Practice will not start until after September 15, how ever, in conformance with a Valley rule which requires this. Creighton's first game is with Mid land, at Fremont, on September 29. The Midland squad Is going through an informal training program at pres ent and will no doubt give Creighton a hard fight.

By RALPH WAGNER. HOSE Omaha Buf ** "* faloes of ours celebrated their « return home yesterday by ^ handing the St. Joseph Saints a neat little 8 to 5, trimming In edght and one half Innings of the _ great na tional pastime played out at the Fifteenth and Vinton street park. Wally Smith and his Saints just ar rived from Oklahoma City where the Indians treated them rather roughly in the series that put Oklahoma City in second plate in the standings, and the result was that the Saints were not in the best spirits when the Buf faloes started chasing them around the tot. However, they managed to show signs of life three or four times during the afternoon, especially when they scored their runs, which came In the first, seventh and eighth Innings. Harry Mangum was on the mound for the Saints from St. Joseph and was pounded hard in the first two innings; so hard that the Buffaloes scored two runs In each the first, sec and and third rounds. Harry was nicked for 13 hits and they were real clouts, most of them. The St. Joseph chucker didn't get the test of support, but all that comes under the head ing: baseball. Thompson Mays Well. Second Baseman Thompson showed before Omahans for the first time yesterday and right off the reel he made a wallop of a hit with the fans and other interested parlies. Tommy got a cracking good double in the third inning and scored a couple of runs during the course of the p. m. His sacrifice in the first frame helped matters,*an»le»»y.

By GEORGE W. SCHILLING. THE eyes of the turf world will be turned on Omaha Tuesday, when the annual fall meeting of the Ak-Bar-Ben Ex position company will be Inaugurated, to ex tend over a period of 17 racing days. It will be then that King Horse, that dynamic exponent of speed, will mount his throne, don his royal rol>es of bright-hued silks and rule supreme over an ouier sports in this section of the country. The daily programs for the 17 days, as outlined by the ambitious general manager, Charles L. Trimble, are most inviting. The purses are In deed liberal and they have attracted. In the whole, a better grade of run ners and trotters than has ever been seen here before. As a natural con sequence, these high class horse* are followed by jockeys and drivers who have been accepted as skillful reinsmen wherever racing has been conducted. It will be these "knights of the saddle and sulky" that will urge the horses In their charge op ward to fame and fortune. Six Races Tuesday. For the initial day of racing.

To decide each hamets race the trotters and pacers must v,e tor honors In three heats. It is not to be the best two out of three. Thus it can be understood that the harness brigade wdl show their speed u. tine heats in all. With the fleet runners cavorting in three races, the roost ■speed hungry fans should have their appetites appeased. In order that the 12 races be run off in ample time to return the big crowds to their homes at a reasonable hour, the first field cf harness horses will be s. nt on their way to score down at precisely 1:30 p. m. r rom the very outset, harness races of importance will be decided.
