1 ENGLANffS FIGHT FANS
WANT BILLY WELLS TO
! RETURN TO NATIVE LAND
By "WAU” .
NGLAND’S fistic colony is calling for Billy
Wells to return to the isles.
In a recent sport publication of London
there appeared an article which sized up the
> fighters of John Bull’s possessions and of all
the battlers Billy Wells was classed as the
most promising.
The writer of the article urged Wells to return to
England und enter an elimination tournament to decide
the best welterweight of England.
’Tis true that good fighters are scarce In England.
The other night Joe Beckett heard taps when Georges
Carpentier cracked him on the jaw. Beckett, although a
human punching bag. was at one time considered by the
English a real heavyweight.
Then there was little Jimmy Wilde. .Jimmy held the flyweight title ror
years He was a real battler, but. like all men of the ring, he met his con
mipmp In brown-eyed Paneho Villa.
Outside of Wilde. England hasn t
produced a real fighter in several
years. When one considers this,
there Is no wonder that the English
fans want Wells to return home and
fight.
Wells Is one of the few English
fighters who has visited this side of
the Atlantic and made money with
hie gloved-mitts. Lots of English
boxer* came to the States to fight,
but they didn’t get very far. The ol’
kayoe generally got them early. But
not so with Wells. He is one of the
laading welter fighters of the world
and under the wise management of
the shrewd Charlie Harvey there is
no wonder that this Englishman is
making a name for himself.
Wells says he doesn’t want to re
turn to his native land until he has
met Champion Mickey Walker. Billy
wants to return to England with the
welterweight championship amid the
blare of trumpets and the cheers of
his countrymen. He does not want
to go hack to England without first
meeting our champion after spend
ing two years on this side of the
ireek as a welterweight flglitei.
Weils is what you might call a
well-to-do fighter. He is said to have
enough money and real estate in
England to keep himself, wife and
the five little Wells In pretty good
ityle for several year*.
. When this Englishman was In
Omaha the last time he told the
writer that while the welter cham
pionship. no doubt, would mean more
money for himself. Just the idea of
being champion of the world and to
return to England and have his
countrymen cheer him would mean
more than anything money could
buy.
A world's fight championship is a
scarce article in England.

WORLD’S SERIES SQUIBS
Jack Nalaon. ahortstop of the Met
ropolitan team, was the first batsman
to atep to th# plate In a world series
contest. Nelson failed to make a hit
off the great Ttadbourne. The first
batsman to make a base hit In the big
classic was "Dasher" Troy, sreoml
baseman of the Meta. It dldn t do
gpy good for Hudbourne allowed only
one other hit to be made In the first
game of the first contest for world’s
honors In baseball.
Providence club made a clean sweep
winning all three games which was
nee.eaaary to decide the championship
In the first blue ribbon event of the
national pastime. The series was
played between the Providence club
ehamplons of the National league, and

World’s Series of Last Year
Greatest Upset of Baseball
EW YORK, Ort.
3.—The world's
series of 1922 pro
vided one of the
Kreat "dope tip
pionshlp history,
the New York
Giants defeating
the New York
Yankees in five
(games. The
' Giants won four
and one game
was tied.
Rated greater
and more power
i ful than the
Giants because of their pitching start,
the American league pennant winners
were made favorites, despite the fact
that they had been defeated by the
Giants in 1921.
In the first game, with Art Nehf
of the G|pnts and "Bullet Joe" Bush
of the Yankees being opposing pitch
ers, the Giants won, 3 to 2, scoring
all their runs In tho eighth Inning
The second game, which went 10
Innings, ended in a 3 3 tie. Bob
Shawkey pltehed for the Yankees and
was opposed by Jess Barnes.
The Nationals then won three
straight games and the series John
Scott, In a remarkable pitching ex
hibit!"!!, shut out the Yankees, whose
pitcher was Waite Hoyt, 3 to 0, In
the third game of the series. Hugh
McQuillan won the fourth game for
the Giants, 4 to 3, outpitching Carl
Mays. Nehf again defeated Bush In
the deciding gpme, 5 to 3.
Tho Giants, as a team, batted *09
In the five games and the Yankees’
team average at bat was only -203.
Beckett’s Seconds
Indiscreet in Fight
I.ondon. Oct. 3.—Boxing officials
today decided that Joe Beckett, Brit
ish heavyweight champion, should re
ceive hie share of the purse for his
fight with Georges t'arpentier, pay
ment of which was held up after the
fight Monday night.
It appears that the money, amount
ing £3.000 and £4,000, wa,< with
held because the official* considered
that the action of Beckett* seconds
in throwing a towel into the ring as
signal of defeat after the Englishman
had been knocked down three times
was unjustified. Upon further con
sideration, however, it was decided
that. Beckett could not he held re
sponsible for this “indiscretion."
The bout was scheduled for 30
rounds, but ended 20 seconds after
the opening hell was sounded.

CREATES RECORDS
Xrw A ork. Oct. 3 —One new
world'* series record will result
from tlie coming tilt between the
Nesc York tilant* and Yankee*,
while the Mrtiraw men as ill base
an opportunity to rreat* another
and th* Huggins' rlan may etjual
on* now In the record book*.
The new record that is assured
is tlie mooting of the same Hubs
for the third year in succession.
The nearesl approach to this mark
was when Ihe t hicago Nationals
and Ih'lroil \nterfcan* met In the j
*orles of tSHi; Biid 1*08. The Tigers j
won again the next year but Ihe
Pittsburgh Pirates won In th* Na
tional league and then gaie Ty
Pobh'a men their third slraight sc
ries set hark.
If the liianls win this year it will
In- their third world’s rtiamplonship
in succession, a feat no other pen
n.Tnt winner lias cyer accomplished.
In that event the Yankees also
would tie automatically the record
of losing three series in a row, held
by the (Hants ami Tigers. Tlie J
liianls lost in 1911 and 19I.H to the j
Pliiladelliia Americana and in 191? j
to Hie Boston Amreiratis.

present Sioux City Western leagu*
club will be removed from Sioux City
before the 1924 season starts, thus
leaving the Packer town without
baseball. The owner of the Sioux City
baseball park believes the town wii!
support a Tri-State club much better
than it did a Western team.
According to President Dick Grotto,
the Nebraska State league club own
ers are perfectly satisfied with their
little circle. The addition of two more
state towns, probably Columbus, Fre
mont or North Platte, would, in the
opinion of Grotte, make the league a
much better paying proposition as
well as gne the hungry fane better
baseball.
