rilling.
lie say* New
Jersey hosing
draws no “color
lino," that a rot
nred man lias the
same rights nnd
privileges In that
state as a white
man.
This, of course,
is no more than is guaranteed by ihe
constitution of the ( nited Slates,
But little men connected with le
galized boxing in some states have
arrogated themselves the right to
deny colored boxers the same privl
m leges as white boxers, to say that a
colored man shall not meet a white
man in the ring.
This is called “drawing the color
line," a proceeding quite un Ameri
can. unsportsmanlike.
In some sections of the country,
where bouts between colored men and
white men might be calculated to pro
duce such intense feeling as to lead
to serious trouble, it would he fool
ish to countenance these bouts.
The colored people would no more
desire them than the w'hites. The
colored people have just as nuirh ju
dicial temperament in these matters
as the whites.
But in sections where the so-called
“mixed bonis" are viewed dispas
slonately. there should be no discrim
ination against the colored boxers.
Wills Can Box Dempsey.
Mr. Bugbee says Harry Wills can
box Jack Dempsey or any other white
man in New Jersey if the bout is
properly conducted and does not
transgress the boxing laws of the
state.
It is a sane ruling. Wills has boxed
other white men in New Jersey.
There is no reason why Wills should
not be permitted to box Dempsey In
any other state where boxing Is le
galized. for that matter. But the lit
tle men who have been created the
lords of boxing in some of the other
states are against the match.
' It appears to be a fixed opinion of
those who follow the boxing game
in New York that a Dempsey-Wills
w bout would not be permitted in this
state. t
The writer has never been able to
find a definite reason for this opin
ion. Governor Smith and thp boxing
officials have frequently declared
there is no "color line" here.
Wills was permitted to box Homer
Smith, a white man. last year. He
is now matched to meet Bartley Mad
den. a white man. At the Common
wealth, the Pioneer and other small
clubs, “mixed bouts" are of weekly
occurrence. The only club that has
not held a “mixed bout” is the big
Madison Square Garden.
All this w-ould seem to refute the
idea that a Dempsey-Wills bout can
not he held in New York state.
Dougherty Puts on Show.
Jim Dougherty, the "baron of
l.eiperville." wished to present bis
famous "black shadow," George God
frey, to Philadelphia fistic fans at
the "Adelphl club” recently.
Lew Packer, the Adelphl promoter,
and Jack Hanlon, his matchmaker,
wers not sure that the "black
shadow" could draw as Philadelphia
has never taken kindly to heavy
weight*. So Dougherty guaranteed
tlie club owners a profit of $500 and
took over the show himself, a favorite
pastime with the "good baron" when
he finds promoters differing with his
opinion as to the drawing qualities
of a show.
He matched Godfrey with "Turn
hllng Tom" Cowler. then put his cele
brated "ace in the hole." Bobby Rar
rett, on the card with Ray Mitchell.
Also he inserted another member of
his Leiperville stable, Johnny OritTln,
a clever colored lightweight.
The show broke all Philadelphia
records for an advance sale, every
seat being gone at 5 o'clock in the
> afternoon. The Adelphl was not only
packed, but the police dispersed thou
sands who couldn't get in.
On top of that the "baron’s" colors
finished first in every heat except in
Godfrey’s case. The "black shadow
had Cowler on the floor, punch soggy,
In the aecond, but he got so ex< ited
he hit Cowler while Thomas was
down and drew a disqualification.

UK eight Western
league baseball
team* will spring
from the I carrier
' Wednesday after
neon to start »n

championship
Omaha Is sohod
tiled to open at St.
Joseph. All north
ern clubs open in
the south, ss us
usl They also
close the season
In the southern
half of the clr
The ol western league, we ran 11
old because It has been bobbing up
and down since 1900, will present a
new club to the circuit fans this
year in the Lincoln team. Outside
of Lincoln which took Sioux City's
place on the wheel, the circuit ros
ter will be the same as the one
which left the barrier In April, 192.1
Omaha, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Den
ver, St. Joseph, Des Moines. Wichita,
and Lincoln make up the 1924 loop.
Oklahoma City won the pennant last
year. Tulsa, Wichita. Omaha, Des
Moines, St. Joseph, Sioux City and
Denver finished in order named.
Everything points to a banner
season, especially down at Tul«a
and Oklahoma City where rivalry
between the two towns has caused
both clubs to rank on top when it
comes (o attendance figures at the
end of the playing schedule. Kadi
club in flip league has strengthen'd
' its roster for the season.
Weeks of spring training In the
south has put the teams on edge for
the openers. Wirhlta Is the only club
that trained at home and now one
can hear loud sounds coming from
the Wichitas' camp. Frank Isbell's
club needs more training Weather
conditions have handicapped the club
a lot this spring.
Of the eight teams. Omaha stands
a good chance of finishing well up
In the first division. We said this
about this time last year and say it
again this season. One of the rea
sons why we give Omaha a good
chance to win the flag is because
the Buffaloes hay got a club of
hitters as good, if not better, than
any in the circuit. All are .300 hit
ters. Now, the Omaha pitching staff
isn't anything to brag about, we ad
mit, but what club In the league, un
less It is Des Moines, has a better
squad of hurlers?
The infield of the Buffaloes. Art
Griggs at first; Thompson at sec
ond; O'Neill st short and Wilcox
at third has shown up well In the
■ exhibition games. Griggs and
O'Neill are newcomers. They
joined the cluh with good past per
fortnsnces.
Take the outfield of Bonowltx.
Robinson, Raggen, Ravellle and
Brown. One socking outfield, we say.
Robinson formerly played with Sioux
l ity. Raggen comes from the Texas
league. Barney Burch says Baggen
will be the talk of the league this
year. I,avellle came to the team in
the Cullop-Yankee deal. Don Brown
was with the Ruffaioes last year. He
is a good outfielder. Some folks say
Brown can t hit. True, he didn t last
season, but Burch says Don Is in
good physical condition now and In
tends to stay that way. Brown has
been hitting the ball m the exhibition
Kam#**.
The latching department of Wil
der and Selmrr* look* good. Wilder
w*» with the team laat year
Selmera romea front Rt. lyuils. ||r
I *• • youngster who Is said to have
", lot of promise. Both have been
'muting the hall hard.
The pitching department la the
weakest. Leo and B,alley, southpaws
n? laat ae.,ain. are In good condition.
They will carry the brunt of the
hurling. Then there a Stanton.
Koupal, Rchermanake and of Nick
I'lillop. Burch expect* to use Cullop
aa a pitcher this year. We believe
Mek la a better outfielder than a
ritrhpr, but the Tanker* get Cullop
next year and want Omaha to use
him aa a pitcher thla aenaon.
So much for Omaha.
Oklahoma City, league rhampa,
do not look aa atrong on paper aa
Omaha. The Indiana need pitrliera
