LUIS FIRPO LEARNS * LESSON IN FINANCE New York, July S.—Luis Angel Firpo evidently has learned a great lesson. Having refused a $240,000 guaranty to box Harry Wills, prior rto the negro’s recent failure to stop Madden, the Wild Bull now Is com pelled to accept a percentage or a flat Offer of $100,000.

Neb. (Sow the former Wirensen's third sacker is suspended for three years on account of his action. Although Bostwick played with the Schneiders in but two Metropolitan league games he made a good Im pression with the fans.

July 5.—Holland may decide to forego the opportunity of staging the 1928 Olympic games, and the ninth modern revival of the games may be held in the United States. It is reported in Olympic circles that Holland, sensing the magnitude of the preparations necessary to run off the Olympic events, would not be averse to giving up her turn, in which event the games would auto matically go to Los Angeles. It is understood the question will be brought up at a meeting of the Inter national Olympic committee to be held Immediately after the competi tion In athletics. Baron Pierre De Coubertln. presi dent of the committee, has not yet been officially notified of Holland’s intentions, but should a request to be relieved of responsibility coma from her, the head of the International Olympic organization says the United States will be the logical successor. Ball Player and Actor Are Ardent Shooters While Jake Daubert, the popular Cincinnati Red, who was temporarily put out of the diamond game a short time back by an injury received dur ing a game, is known far and wide as a ball player, not so many fans are aware that he is also an expert trap shooter. Daubert is a well-known fig ure at the Cincinnati Oun club traps when the Reds are playing a home playing series and is a frequent vis itor at the gun club grounds in other titles. He never fails to draw the attention of shooters and gallery and to break a score in keeping with his reputation as an A-l sportsman. Daubert Is Just one example of men famed In other lines of endeavor who are also experts at the shoot game, but whose reputation at the latter has not become so wide. Charles Winninger is as popular among trapshooters as he is among theatergoers, for his good scores at the national sport win him a place in the front rank. Fred Stone is another actor who breaks a top notch score when he goes after the flying clays and whose presence at local gun club grounds is sought whenever he is in a city boasting a live lot of shoot fans. I ■ — - ' Ranks With Best Amateur Hitters i--‘ LOUIS MORAVEC. hard hitting first sacker for the Kinney Shoes, holds an honor that very few amateurs can boast of. The Kin ney's first sacker recently poled a homer over the fence at league park off the delivery of Johnny Braniff pitcher for the Burlington team and ace of the American league hurlers. Aloravec who is 18 years old, got his start In amateur baseball playing on the fast Comenius school team. For the past two seasons this hard hitting youth has ben with the Kin ney Shoes. If the southpaw young ster can pick up a little in his field ing he will rank with the topnotch ftrst-aackers in the amateur leagues. William Street Merchants Will Try to Make It Three Wins Over Kaimans The Kaiman Insurance nine, who lost two games to the William Street Merchants, league leaders of the Junior Omaha league, are more than confident that It will defeat their rivals In the feature game at Miller park next Sunday. Kaiman, manager, has been send ing his recruits through stiff work outs this week. Caccipio will probably be Manager Kalman's choice to take the mound against the league leaders, while Stanlcek is Manager Comine’s selec tion. In these two pitchers, local fans who have been following the Junior teams this year, will have a chance to see the two best in the league. Caccipio has an average of 17 strikeouts per game, but lack of support has lost this Italian many a hall game. Against the Polish Ath letic club he fanned 19 men; he had the game won with the score 5 to 1 tn the last half of the ninth, when his teammates made five costly errors which accounted for five of the Ath letes’ runs, losing the game, 6 to 5. Stanlcek of the William Street Mer chants has allowed only 14 hits In four games and has given his op ponents only two runs. Stanicek work* hard in the pinches and Is a hard man to beat. "I wasn't in form." Stanicek told one of his team mates after the Gibson Rambler game three weeks ago, when he al lowed the Ramblers only one run and five scattered hits. Manager Comine performed like a big league star last Sunday In the light field garden. His throw to home, which caught Pitcher Handler at the plate, prevented the Y. M. H. A. from scoring. He made two hits out of four times to bat. deluding a two-base hit. This was Manager Co mine's first game that he participat ed in. and he made a hit with the fans. A defeat for the Gibson Ramblers and a win for the William Street Merchants Sunday will mean the pen nant for the Merchants, thereby claiming the right to play tbe win ner of the Inter-city league for the championship of the -Tunj^r Omaha league. The winner also receives a trip to St. Louis. The Rede advanced to within IS points of fourth place by downing the Pira’ee tw-ice Luque let Pittet-urgh down with four hlte for an S to 0 ehutout in the morning end R;xey end Benton held the Coreeire at bay in tha eecond while their teammatee registered a 4 to > win.
