league will play a short schedule of
till games, each series being com
posed of four contests. The season is
scheduled to open May H and close
September 7. Eighteen Sunday dates
have hern included in the schedule.
After discussing this question and
that for four hours, representatives
at the meeting finally got their heads
together and organized the league.
Much discussion was in order over
the status of the Lincoln club, for
merly a members of the former Ne
braska State league but now known
as "the baseball team without a
lea gue."
“The Lincoln club is in a funny boat.
According to Charlie Moon and the
fcltzer brothers, owners of the team,
Eincoln owns its State league fran
chise and players. At today's meet
ipg the Lincoln owners were given to
understand that the Nebraska State
league owns the Lincoln franchise
and Immediately voted the Lincoln
franchise and club over to Sioux
Fails.
Following this action,. Moon and
the Beltzers let out a howl that
sounded to the high heavens. They
maintain that they own the franchise
and club and intend to start court
action if Secretary Farrell of the Na
tional Baseball association decides in
Sioux Falls’ favor.
“We offered to sell our players to
the Sioux Falls men for $750,” said
Charlie Moon. "First we asked
$2,000, then came down to $1,000.
Finally they offered us $500 and we
turned that down. Sioux Falls then
offered us $750 and we were about to
accept when they backed down.
“We have the complete Lincoln In
field which won the Nebraska State
league pennant last year. Besides
the infield, which is composed of Bon
durant, shortstop; Cleve, second base
man; Cleveland, third baseman, and
Dye, first baseman, we offered
Cooley And Eller, pitchers, and De
Butch, catcher. “Ping” Purdy, out
fielder and one of the best flayers In
the league last season, was also In
cluded In the deal we offered Sioux
Falls.”
According to Bobble Warner, one
of the Sioux Falls representatives,
his club lias no players signed to date,
but expects to get the Lincoln play
ers. This, however, all depf nds on
what ruling Secretary Farrell hands
down.
The Fairbury club of the Nebraska
Slate league of 1923 has been offi
cially moved over to Sioux City, la.,
where George Segrlst will hold sway.
George reports that everything looks
rosy tor a banner year and adds that
every civic organization in Sioux
City is pulling for a tristate team.
Dr. M. W. Jenkins, president of the
Grand Island club, was among those
present, as was Ed Relchle of the
Beatrice team. J. R. Carter represent
ed Norfolk and Neill Dunn was boost
ing for Hastings' welfare. All re
ported that baseball Interest Is run
ning high at their respective camps
and all expect a banner season.
Richard Grotte, president of the
former Nebraska State league, will
be the tristate's president, secretary
and treasurer. Verne Whitney of
Sioux City was appointed league sta
tistician for the coming season. A
schedule committee was appointed to
draw up the playing chart. All clubs
will keep home gate receipts. The
admission to the games was fixed at
30 cents.

Whether the Bnf
faloex Will pet
_ away tn a pood
( lead and hold thnt
position until the
field nenra the fin
ish In September Is
’ another question,
one that can't be
| answered at this
writing, but taking
' every thing into
consideration the
1924 club of this
city should give account of Itself frn|n
Sturt to finish.
Omaha is in the same boat ns Its
opponents when it comes to pitch
ing. The Buffaloes haven't cot a
pitching staff they can be proud of:
ncillier have Ihe oilier Irani*. In
llalley nml Harry l-ee, southpaws,
Hartley lliircli lias two reliables,
but just lunv long lliey ran carry
the brunt of Hie iillcliltig cannot be
anstvrrril until about Hie nitilille of
the season.
N'lrk Cullop. outfielder last season,
who has been sold to th« New York
Yankees, hut who will not report to
the champs until 1925. Is taking his
rtirn on the mound this year. Nick
Isn't much of a pitcher. He plays the
outfield better than ho pitches. Cul
lop swings a good bat, but Inst year
ranked well up among the hatters,
considering the number of games In
which he made his appearanre.
Koupal and Stanton are former Ne
braska State league hurlers. While
these pitchers went good In the State
circuit last season, they haven't
shown any great amount of hurling
ability in the exhibition contests.
Schermanske Shows Up Best at Camp.
Then (here's SchemmnsUe ob
tained from the Washington Sena
tors in the deal that sent Byron
Speere to the Nationals. Of the
lieweomers, SehernmnsUe has
showed up the best. lie is troubled
with a had wing, but is gradually
getting his "soup-bone" in good
hurling trim.
Burch and Art Griggs, the latter
manager, don’t intend to try and pull
through the season with the present
pitching staff. The Buffaloes' pay
hoss is on the lookout for more hurl
ers and hopes to connect soon.
So much for the pitchihg depart
ment.
As for the catching department It
isn't any too strong. Fred Wilder, sor
rel-topped veteran of last season. Is
beck in harness. Fred was troubled
(w!th a bad leg In 1923 nnd If he has
fully recovered from the Injury can
hold his own with the rest of the
back stops in “Ba” T»arney's circuit.
He Is a good hitter, leaning more to
ward the long distance clouts than
the infield swats. Wilder has been
going good In the exhibition games,
hitting w'el! over the 300 mark.
One tiling about Wilder is that
he lias a good peg to serond. llis
knowledge of the hatter's weakness
has added to his catching ability.
He should have a great season, pro
viding, of course. Ills leg Is o. k.
Wilders' understudy is a former St.
Louis *seml-pro by the name of Seim
ers. Wilder and Seimers showed up so
well at Shreveport, the training camp
of the Buffaloes, that Manager
Griggs released George Hale, veteran
of the Omaha club. Hale, however, re
turns to Omaha after a 30-day trial
with Shreveport if he doesn't come
up to the expectations of the South
ern club. Seimers has shown In the
"xfilbition games that he can hit. He
Is young and has gre.lt promise of
developing into a major-league
eateher.
Infield of Club Well Taken Care Of.
The Infield of the club Is well taken
care of. At first will he Art Griggs,
new manager. Now this Griggs per
son Is an old head at baseball and
should he able to Impart good base
ball advice to the young Infield.
Griggs was purchased from the Los
Angeles club of the Pacific Coast
league at a handsome price and al
ready has shown Texas town fans
that he la a hard hitter. To date he
has slammed out 13 home runs in the
exhibition games.
riayine with Los Angeles last
year, Griggs registered 31 home
runs. 14 triples, a whole flock of
doubles and oodles and oodles of
singles. His fielding wasn’t the
best part of bis work, lint still It
was good enough that two other
Coast league cluht wanted him and
it was not until he was promised a
berth as a manager with Omaha
that those two coast clubs In ques
tion consented to waive" on him.
What Griggs can do as a manager
Is another question. Art has never
managed a club, but anyone familiar
with baseball knows that a manager
ran t win pennants without ball play
ers. Ed Konetrhy failed to deliver
as a manager for the herd laat sea
son and Griggs has a hard Job on
his dukes to fill the berth at first.
''Friscoe” Thompson will he sfa
tloned at second. He's a youngster
full of plenty of "pep” and baseball
playing ability. He was purchased
by the Buffaloes from the Nebraska
State league. Thompson Is pretty
sood with the stick and Is good on
the bases. His fielding Is one of the
bright spots shout his playing.
Western league fans will find a new
face at shortstop In Jimmy O'Neill,
obtained from the Washington Sena
tors. He was throw-n In along with
Scbermanske for Byron Speece.
O’Neill Is a brother to the former
Cleveland catcher and If he Is half
ns good as his brother at ball play
ing he wdll make a hit with Omaha
fan*. We has been showing up will
in the exhibition games and that’s all
we know about him.
Wilcox Back at Old Third Base Job.
Jimmy Wilcox, veteran of two
seasons with Omaha, will he found
at his old position at third base.
Jimmy topped the league in field
ing last year, although he only
played in a few games. He took
.McDonald's place at third, being
switched from shortstop. Jimmy
hatted .312 and played in 117 games.
He Is a consistent player and can
always be depended upon to do his
best. He is well liked around the
league and a mighty fine chap.
Phelps, Shreveport semi pro, was
signed by Barney Burch during the
Buffaloes' spring training grind at
the Texas town. Manager Griegs has
been playing Phelps at third ami
short. He Is said to be a valuable
man at either position and a good
batter.
In the outfield the Buffaloes have
three fly chasers well known to West
em league fans—namely, Joe Bono
wltz, Don Brown and “Chief" Robin
son. Both Bonowltz and Brown were
with the Herd last year, while Robin
son played with Sioux City two years

Omaha In the Cullop deal with the
New York Yankees. Ho has been
pla3'ing riphtfield and his work at
bat bids fair to rank him up among
the .300 hitters of the league.
Taking the 193 i flmaha roster ss
a whole, it isn't so bad. The Buf
faloes have a team of .300 hitters,
and pretty good fielders. Omaha
has the punrli, but the pitrhing is
weak.
If Harney Burch can sign two or
three good hurlers, fans of the Buf
faloes see no regson why the Herd
can't finish high In the standings.
But then there's that little "If."

Tex Rickard Stands Ready to
Stage Big Fight in September
New Jersey Boxing Commis
sioner Says So-Called Col
or Line Doesn't Exist
in His State.
By DAVIS J. WALSH
EW YORK, April
10.—"Tha aigna
I tk\| I ture of Harry
ITV AS’ilia la already
on a contract
/« with Rickard to
meet Jack Demp
sey In September.
It 1* now up to
. Kearns and the
" champion. They
> have never been
• anxious to do
- business with Wil
business with
Wills, but I do
e not see how they
can sidestep this
one.”
Paddy Mullens, manager of Wills,
mads this statement today In reply
to the announcement of Newton A
K. Bugbee. chief boxing commissioner
of New Jersey, that the socalled
color line does not exist within his
domain.
The announcement was taken
among boxing men to tncan that the
proceedings are In the bag and
ready for delivery. It Is regarded
as tlar Wiangiir.il shout in a bally
hno that will eventually bring the
while champion and his brunette
pursuer within the 21 foot confines
of a Jersey ring.
Aecordlng to the best advices, the
affair will take place In Rlokard'a
arena at Jersey City. However, the
trifling deal of signing Dempsey re
mains to be cleared up but the writer
looks for that end of the transaction
to be settled without trouble. Neither
Kearns nor Dempsey have ever been
known to hasten away from money
and a Wills bout will get them plenty.
It should draw as many customers
as the Dempsey-Carpentier comedv
and at the new scale In Jersey of
$25 per person, the gate will run at
least a million and a quarter.
Of that, Dempsey will ease away
with *000,000 and Wills will gel
about $200,000 and a punch on the
neck. Rickard and Jersey poli
ticians will get the rest.
But Wills must step oiH before
tlie public In the meantime, and
Rickard, who knows his customer
a* the butcher know* hi* *rale, ha*
arranged till*. HI* contract with
Will* call* for the colored gentle
man to meet Spall*. Rnmero-Roja*
or Flrpo with the winner to dally

Hoppe Gains in
Plav With Belgian
J c
New York, April 9.—Stroking with
perfect pr» inlon and accuracy, Willie
Hoppe, world'* 18 2 l«alklln# champion,
assumed a commanding lead over hi*
Belgian challenger, Kdouard Hore
mans, tonight by winning the second
block of the title match, 600 to 16 In
11 Innings. The champion now has
a lead of 1,000 to 440, with but one
more hlock to play.
Hoppe's victory tonight was, one of
tha most outstanding features In the
history of the game. In 1921, during
the championship tournament at Chi
cago, Jake Schaefer, former cham
pion, defeated Welker Cochran, San
Francisco, 400 to 0, in two Innings,
averaging 2*0 in this performance.
As a decided contrast to Hoppe's
exhibition, the challenger was badly
off form, scoring In only five Innings
and not once during the evening
having the hells together.
Hoppe started where he finished
last night, adding eight to his un
finished run of 37. He missed a short
draw and Horemans ran one. In the
third Inning Hoppe got away strong
and by careful nursing and brilliant
position playing, ran 17* before be
ing stopped bv a one-cushion shot.
hlch missel the second object bell
by a narrow margin. He followed
after Horemans ran one by a run
of 118. He finished hie block with an

The true measure of goodness in a hat

of no interest to well - dressed men—
the smartest style doesn’t hudge the
man of judgment unless backed by
quality.
The only combination that pledges
hat satisfaction is adequate quality
plus authentic style.

HARRY SAYS:
It is the duty of every man
to look his best at all times,
especially on Easter.
While it is hardly fair that a
man should be judged by the
clothes he wears, yet very often
it is taken at a true indes.
No matter how big or how
amall, how fat or how thin you
may ba. when Harry Mason
builds your suit you get com
plete satisfaction.
Men. and yous| men, do not
judge the quality of these suits
by the estremely low prices.
They are wonderful values and
are possible only because of my
tremendous purchasing power.
The shrewd fellow will reslise
the wisdom of making his selec
tion at the earliest possible
date. Avoid last minute deci
sions. Make yours Saturday.
