TIE Omaha Athletic rluh amateur flehters carried away the lion's (•hare of cham pionships In the Midwestern A. A. V. Olympic tryouts held Tuesday r.lgnt at the Auditorium, when sinion puro.t won leather-push ing titles in four of the eight di» visions. t’hampionshins in - the other four classes of the biff 'em game were pretty well divided among the University of Nebraska, Iowa Slate and Parsons college of Cedar Rapids, la. Iloxers Hying the Corn lmsker colors won the championships in two divisions, the middleweight and Hie heavyweight ranks, while a cy clone from Ames, la., won the light heavyweight title. The Parsons col I'go champion bobbed up In the fly weight class. Winners Go to Kansas City. The lucky scrappers who punched tlnir way through to the champion ships Tuesday night will journey limn to Kansas City, where the west ern Olympic tryouts will be held \prfl HO. The Kansas City winners then go to Boston, where they will battle in the grand finals, the cham pions composing the United States learn of amateur boxers that will rep resent your Uncle Sam in the Olympic games at Paris. Oodles and oodles of fights were belli at the Auditorium. Some were good, some were bad, some half way good and some hot so had. Knock outs, technical knockouts and de i Isions were handed down by the judges and the referees, who hap pened to be Leo Shea and Paul Leidy. The judges were Jimmy Urexel and Jeto Wendell. The first bout started at 7:45 and ihe final gong sounded at midnight. There were more than five hours of boxing and the funny part about the whole affair was that the large crowd stuck through to the finish. The first round of each division was fought, then the second, the semi finals and last the finals. No Feature Hunts. There were no feaHire bouts unless one called the final Rattle of the eve ning the best gerap. This bout brought together a long-lmlred chap with a big smile from the Columbus (Neb.) Athletic club by the name of Paul Ellas. His opponent was Homer Scott of the University of Ne braska, a rather polished looking gent. Now Elias dldn t displayed any polished ring tactics, but oh. how he couhl hit. He pounded Harry Sprout of the Pes Moines Athletic club all mound the ring, but when he came up against the Husker heavyweight he ran into a battler who mixed a little science with hie punches. Ellas couldn't quite figure Scott's style, so went down In defeat, long hair and all. Frank Clampltt of the Iowa State college of Antes, la., upheld the fistic colors of the Cyclone school when he won the light heavyweight chumplon ship. Clampltt put the clamp on E$ Eevinaky in the first round of a sched uled three-round bout when he knocked Eevinsky of the O. A. C. colder than a hunk of Ice. The Iowa Stater met Brink, another O. A. C. battler, in the finals and knocked Brink over the brink Into dreamland in the first round. Finley Heats John Sesto. Edward Finley of Parsons college, Cedar Falls, la., won the flyweight champlonphlp by scoring a technical knockout over Johnny Sesto of the f'maha Athletic club in the second round of a three-round bout. Finley was the aggressor and had Sesto on the floor a couple of times. Johnny didn't fight his usual battle. Royal Coffman, easily the class of the amateur fighters at the Omaha Athletic; club, fighting In the light weight class, found little trouble In winning the championship of his dlvi siun from Frank Koeger of the Uni versity of Nebraska. lie scored a technical knockout over the Ilusker the first round.

DdMn%untjoris\ i CoMmm I New Volk, April 9.—Qulntln Rom ero-RoJas, Chile's heavyweight, arrives in the t.'nited States to display his pugilistic prowess. Rompro-Rojas—the last name pro nounced a.s if spelt "Ro-hnss"— is a big. rugged looking man. He has a strong face. He is 28 years old, which is not young in pugilism. However. RoL Fitzsimmons, one of the greatest ring men that ever lived, was the same age when he first came to this country from Australia. Romero-Rojas is attended by the in evitable millionaire, a friend from Chile. Strange how these South American fnillionaires attach them selves to prize fighters. Perhaps in South America they have adopted the custom in vogue In England ninny years ago. The rich men, the dandles of the period, patronized the bruisers of note, tak ing them around with them wherever they went. The Engish dandies had a method In seeking this company. If they got in trouble with the plain citizenry, the fighters appeared ; in the role of ‘'bullies," over awelng by their reputation and manner all who might have any thought of tak ing a good slap at their rich patrons. A curious custom, you will say. Yet in these very days it is not un- , common to see rich men, big politl- , clans and others going about attend- , ed by ‘'h<*e!ers,'’ and “yes-men" who also serve as bullies and sluggers for their patrons, if occasion demands. Of course, the South American rich . men do not patronize their fighters for any such reason as this. They ' are attracted to the pugilists because the game is comparatively new^ to South America, because they arc keenly interested in their fistic fel low countrymen from a sporting standpoint. . Luis Angel Firpo, “the wild bull of the Pampas.” forerunner of Romero-Rojas, had several of these South American rich men \\ith him when he was getting ready for his I "light with Dempsey. One of them, lloratlo Levelle, an amateur boxer and sportsman of the Argentine, acted as his trainer and thief second In the Dempsey tight. It would, perhaps, have been better for Luis Angel Firpo had his chief second l>een an American, with less money and more capacity for quick thinking. A quick thinking American would have had something to say to the referee when Dempsey was being as sisted back Into the ring that night. About 135 years ago. Which is long brfnrp South America figured In spnrnng news, or any other news, there was an Ilnglish pugilist named Bill Hooper, sometime* called “The Tin Man.” He was a real good fighter, small of stature, but extremely courageous, lie fought all the famous heavy weights of his day. He became the protege of Lord Barrymore, a most eccentric noble man. and lived at Barrymore's coun try seat. He always attended Barry more when the nobleman appeared in public. A writer of the period says: "His lordship was fond of larking, and whenever he did not come through the piece ' In style. Hooper appeared as his bully, and many a time he saved his patron a good bill ing. "Sheltered under the wings of nobility. Hooper became pampered, insolent and mischievous. His liiso lAire at last liecame Intolerable. Then, unfortunately for a prime squad of spunging coves that stuck to his lord ship like so many leeches, Barrymore began to reform, or more properly speaking, he was bowled out, and these, enviable characters were turned up. "Hooper soon afterwards became wretched, disease overtook him, and repeated intoxication brought him to the brink of the grave. One evening he was found Insensible on the steps of Ht. Olles snd conveyed to the workhouse, where he Immediately ex pired.” I Today $ Entries. BOWIR.

GEORGES CARPENTIER TO OPEN NEW YORK TRAINING CAMP TO PUBLIC; AFTER YANK DOLLARS - ( Handsome Frenrh L i g li t Heavyweight to Show Fight Fans That He Is in Better Condition Than Many Believe. By DAVIS J. WALSH. EW YORK, April !>.—Georges Car-j pentler, that gya. young blade of the boulevards, notified all con cerned today that ii was ms wormy intention to make a public matter of his training for the scheduled bout with Gene Tunney here on or. about June «. The glad tidings were received in a cablegram to Jack O'Hrlen, who conducts an exclusive gym here, ex clusive to those with the price of admission. Jt will he the first time a palpitant public can view Georges at close range without paying numer ous dollars for the privilege. The cable was signed from Francois Des cant ps and iTad as follows: "Please arrange rarpentler train lug your gym while In New' Tork. Privacy unessential. Sail about May 10." On the occasion of the Dempsey business our Georges retired behind barbed wire and armed sentries to prepare himself for the great tum ble. That his preparations were not in violation was attested to h,v the fact that he showed unusual form in tumbling on the day in question. Nothing more graceful was ever seen in an American ring. Now, however, he seems to feel he has learned the trick and the need for secrecy no longer exists. The merry villagers may enter, pro vided they are equipped with the proper deference and a handy dollar. At that the change In the usual schedule may Indicate that Georges is nut the physical wreck that com mon rumor has made him. If he could no longer step like the Georgps of old he would fear to let the great American public In on the secret at such a nominal charge.
