^ pion of New York”—Fast Bouts Feature of the Omaha
Athletic Club Show.
Fight Results.
Main Event—Schlatter won deci
sion over Jones.
Semi-Windup— l-ambert won de
cision over Augustine.
First Preliminary—Stangl won
decision over Perkins,
Second Preliminary—Van Ryan
won decision over Watson.
By L. C. GRAHAM.
NCE again Mor
ris Schlatter
proved that he
’could hit and
ta'te it. He met
Jimmy Jones,
Youngs (own,
Ohio, erstwhile
holder of the
\ empty title of
“ v/elterw eight
• champion of New
t York,’’ in a 10
round battle and
won the decision.
Jimmy Jones
may have been whipped before but It
is doubtful if he ever was hit any
harder than last night. He chose the
wrong method of attack early In the
bout and began to exchange alugs
with Sehlaifer.
“Sclilaifer Has Four Titles.”
With hia latest win Sehlaifer gath
ered In another "championship.” He
had previously whipped Billy Wells
for the "welter crown of England.”
Then he whipped Panama Joe Gans
and won the "welter crown of the
south. ” He has been the welter
champ of Nebraska for a long time
< and now he is also "welter champ of
frv New York.” All of which sounds
- well but means just that much less
than nothing.
Morrie led last night's fighting
Horn early in the affray. Jones spent
most of his time hanging on and try
ing to find the opening for the one
punch that would floor the hard, fast
hitting Omahan.
Fine Hound to Morrie.
.,V4 The tirat round went to Sehlaifer
Bp by a substantial margin when he
~.T knocked Jones down about half way
through the frame. The two men
^ «ame from their corners ready to
■ "teel each other out.” They posed in
... approved Police Gazette style in the
i'enter of the ring for a moment, then
“ Jones opened up and sent a long hay
maker at Schlaifer's head.
• Morrie looked as though someone
had suddenly handed him money,
ry From then on it was the man who
» Could absorb the most punches and
htt the most often who waa the man
to w«n—maybe.
After a rapid exchange of swings
Sehlaifer alipped one over and Jones
sat down. Eike a rubber ball he hit
and bounced back to his feet, then
- looked around to see what had hap
, pened. After that Mr. Jones was
less anxious to stop ^ne of those
jt swings and for the rest of the round
'.L^pparred. it was Schlaifer's round by
|\ virtue of the knockdown. V
Jones Gets Two Rounds.
Jones took ths next round end the
third. He was satisfied to stay out
and peck at the Omahan with a
long right. For those two rounds
things looked dark for the "Fighting
Fool" hut Jones could not keep it
up and in the fourth Sehlalfer came
back snd took the round by a slight
margin.
Those two rounds of Jones' were
all he got. It was Schlatter's fight
from then on. He managed to al
waya be in the wrong place for one
of Jones' swings and always Just
right for one of his own.
Jones held repeatedly In the last
rounds and was warned several times
by Refsree Dave Berry to stop It.
Hs showed a tendency to "play to
ths grandstand" and looked to the
third man continually as though he
„ wanted to infer that he was being
held.
Srlilaifer Hit Hard.
In the ninth round Sehlalfer man
aged to put over a hard slug to
Tones' Jaw. Jones was shocked by
the blow but managed to tall Into a
clinch before Sehlalfer could follow
It up and score a knockout. Jones
succeeded in weathering all of the
other blows. Although two nr three
cracks In the face succeeded In bring
ing the blood from his nose snd
, mouth he never went off his feet.
Only once was Jones shle to pull
ths trick for which he Is famous,
that of rushing his opponent through
the ropes. Morrle'a head snd should
era hung over the edge of the ring
once hut he pulled himself back
easily That helped to take the heart
out of Jones snd hs once more set
tied down to hie game of holding and
trying to block.
Rest of Card Good.
The rest of the bill was aa good
as ths Sehlalfer Jones go. The two
six-round prelims were good snd the
semi windup was exceptionally fast.
Only one thing marred the even
ing'* entertainment. That was a de
cision in the first bout. Joe Slang!
Omaha, met Harvey Perkins, Cas
per, Wyn., the man who stajed 10
rounds with Tiny Herman. Perkins
took three of the first, rounds with
one round even. Joe came bark well
In the last two and made a good show
ing. Referee Eddie Lsndholm, I.In
coin, gava the fight tn Slangl and
the crowd objected to the decision.
One of the fastest bouta of the eve
nlng was the six round prellmlnaiy
between One Step Watson, Omaha,
snd Al Van Ryan. St. Paul. Van
Jiyan w:on ths decision with some
good foot work and punching.
Van Ryan Is Fast.
Van Ryan, from the stable of
Johnny Salbator, appeared for the
first tiiuo in Omaha. He ehowed
4
speed from the first and led One Step
a merry chase. Van Ryan had been
scheduled to meet Sailor Riston but
Watson was substituted when Riston
was reported sick.
Carl Augustine failed to show the
slashing style in his battle with
Chuck Rambert last night that he
displayed when he met Battling Mon
roe recently. Lambert took the
fight.
The two men, Augustine reporting
from St. Paul, and Rambert from
Minneapolis, put up a good exhibition
for the semi windup. Their style
was good and both boys hit with all
their heart. Augustine’s “sleep pro
ducers" went wild for the most part
and slipped harmlessly over Ram
bert's head.
There was a good crowd at the
affair and the fights were all worth
seeing. Except for the first boul
there was little dissatisfaction over
any of the bouts.
Wayne Quintet*
Trims Midland
Fremont, Neb., Feb. 8.—Midland's
basket bail quintet was completely
bumbled by Wayne college’s basket
ball aggregation by a score of 29 to
16. It was Wayne's game apparently
from the start with the visitors tak
ing the lead at the beginning and
holding it throughout the contest.
The game was unusually rough,
both sides committeing many fouls.
After Eliot, Midland forward, was re
moved from the game for too many
personals and Winkleman, forward,
w’as forced to retire with an Injured,
knee the Wayne team practically had
the court to themselves.
Captain Best, of the visiting quin
tet gave a clever exhibition of daz
zling footwork and offensive tactics
that bewildered the Midland aggrega
tion. Cunningham of Midland put up
the best fight for the Midlanders.
Winkleman was high point getter for
Coach Speer’s men. Box score:
Midland.

World's I ,argest Money Tourney for
Pro Golfers in Texas Next Week
By ROBFKT K. HARIAW'.
San Antonio, Tex., Kob. X.—The
world’s biggest money tournament for
professional golfers has attracted a
field worthy of the event which car
ries a.s well as the rich prizes, the
Texas open championship title. The
event does not start until next week
but already the public course in
Bracken ridge pa rk Is crowded w ith
many of the best known names in
professional golf.
By next Friday when the field
starts for the major prize of $l,.'>00
and the total purse of $6,<100, it will
contain more professional class
than any event held in the last
twelve months save the national
open at Inwood. Since the hoys
were hero last year, the city lias
erected one of the finest municipal
golf club houses in America and
the course has been changed and
is two shots more diftieult.
•lim Barnes,’ rontemplating exhi
bition golf for the next few months,
is here for the purpose of hpilding
up sonic inure prestige, always au
asset to the public prrformeis on
I he golfing stage. He will make the
eirruit of tournaments arranged in
the southwest by lark O'Brien,
sponsor of the world's biggest
money tournament here.
The rules of the San Antonio event
permit the use of steel shafts but
otherwise agree with the United
States flolf association.
But Mehlhom, who chased AValter
Hagen to the last green In an IS
l.ole play off laat year and blew some
easy putts in the bargain before he
relinquished firat prize to the great
Haig appeared today with new
fungled clubs and stgrted hitting the
ball as well as he was last year.
MacDonald Smith, who won the
California open reeently, Is here anil
already a favorite with many local
critics who have been out In Brack
cnrldge ^)ark looking over the play
ers. Smith, like Barnes, has the ex
hibition Idea and will play in all the
opens along the line. Arthur G. Hav
ers. British open champion; James
Ockenden, holder of the French title,
and Joe Kirkwood, greatest barn
stormer of them all, w ill he here early
next week.
Johnny Farrell, .lack Ilurke,
Tommy Kerrigan, Cyrus Walker
and a host of ntliirs are here.
An effort isbeing made to have
Halier' Hagen come bark and de
fend his title and have Gene Sara
zen obtain iierrnission from Miss
Mary I’eek. his fiancee, so he can
leave the soft hreexes of Miami
beach and show vhe Texas fans
his smiling countenance.
Jack O'Rrlen, who lias gone to
no end of trouble to raise the
world's biggest golf purse for three
consecutive years, believes that the
liig ones in professional golf should
.support the Sun Antonio tourna
ment and Jack is |»erfeetly Justi
fied in flunking this.

Speedway Ready
for Spring Race
Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. *.—While
the greatest racing star* are comfort
ably basking in the warming sunshine
of Uhllfornia, the steam of activity
arising amid the cold blasts of a be
lated winter Is already noticeable at
the greateat race course in the world,
the Indianapolis Motor Ppeedway,
where the International 500-mlle race
will be held, as usual, on Decoration
day, May 30.

Ills usual corps of year round attend
ants keeping the^ 430 acre Speedway
plat In repair and in addition is super
vising the receiving of materials
which will be used in making im
provements at th^ Speedway with the
first signs of permanent spring.
Track in Hood Condition.
"J never have seen the 3,200,000
brinks of the two and one half mile
oval stand a winter better since the
track was laid in 1910," said General
Manager T. E. "Pop" Myers of the
Speedway.
"Usually the track expands and con
tracts with the heat and cold of the
changeable weather, and buckles in
s|»ots, hut this year has been sn ex
ception, so far, and extensive repairs
are not contemplated or necessary, as
we do not want to make the race a
Joy-ride for the pilots, since the ob
ject of the event is to afford engi
neers an opportunity to test their
theories under the most rigid condi
tions. as well as, at the same time,
afford thrills for the thousand* of
eutomoblle racing enthusiasts."
No Hazards Wanted.
"I hope they don't put In any wat
er hazards or hunkers" was the com
ment of the veteran I.ouis Chevrolet,
who has been driving and designing
and building cars for the Indianapolis
track for many years.
"It Is the most difficult course In
the world to negotiate for 500 miles
at best,” he continued, “and It certain
ly is the most vigorous test for both
pilot and carv"
Chevrolet was assured that no golf
hazards or steeplechase hurdles would

Johnny Itrowi* bantamweight
champion of Europe, a member of
Charley Harvey's vast stable of for
eign battlers, who arrived here re
cently hoping to meet Joe Lynch
for the worlds title, was shocked
when informed of Lynchs dilatory
action in accepting matches with any
of the topnotch boys in that division.
“So you say lie will not meet Abe
Goldstein,” Brown asked Charley,
“well you get me Goldstein anywhere
and X will soon show you that we
can force Lynch into a match. The
last time I was here I know the
trouble you had with him and that was
my real reason fV going home to
win th$ championship and force him
to fight me and 1 know that I can
beat him. especially if Jimmy Wilde
(who by the way is a stone lighter
than 1 am) could beat him twice."

Wills to Slug Firpo and the Winner to
Take a Chop at Dempsey.
--—-----”-J
Firpo and Wills are going to hold
their 1924 Democratic convention in
Brooklyn.
The purse will be one half million
dollars, subject to the usual exagger
ation and taxes.
They say that Wills' bale hooka
have gone back on him and that be
couldn’t punch his way out of a day
nursery.
Firpo is still the leading jockey
on the Four Horsemen's polo team.
But he has been leading a life of
eaao down on the pampas, in the des
erts, and in blizzards. It is feared
that the recent South American
earthquakes have softened Firpo up.
Wills is in great shape. He works
as a stevedore on the wharfs.
»
But he had better not fight Firpo
on a wharf.
No matter what you are on, Firpo
can knock you off.
All Argentineans are cliff fighters.
They slug each other on mountain
tops. Their fights are staged on diz
zy crags where mountain goats would
pull In their horns.
Dempsey would have never climbed
back into an Argentinean ring.
When you go down for nine in
Argentine, you go down for nine
miles.
They are Tery hardy people.
The winner of this fight will meet.
Dempsey. Firpo met Dempsey once
in the greatest fight ever staged out
side of the movies. That's whera
they fight. In flie movies. The hero
gets knocked down 8,000 times, but
be Is still the hero.
They will probably fight on Juiy 4.
Half a million is a lot of expenses to
pay for a couple of shooting crack
ers. But It is worth it to settle thi*
heavyweight question for not'once
and for nev^r.
