Kaplin and Kramer Meet in 15-Round Bout for Featherweight Title This Weefr —-- e Bout Is Feature of Box-Fighting Program in East Johnny Dundee Plays Santa Claus to Feathers and Hands Title Over to Commission. By RINGPORT. WHEN Louis (Kid) Kaplan and Dan ny Kramer of Philadelphia fin ish their sched uled 16-round bat tle in Madison Squat# Garden. New York, Friday night, a 'new feather we Ight champion will mount the throne vacated recently by Johnny Dun dee, the “Scotch wop." Dundee handed the title over to the New York boxiqg commission a short time ago with the statement that he could no longer make the required weight of 126 pounds. This bout is the outstanding feature of a holiday program well filled with interesting scraps by men near the top of their respective divisions of fistiana. When Dundee relinquished the championship, due to overweight, the title was tossed into the ring for about a half dozen worthy conterfders to scramble for, and the result of a series of elimination contests staged In New York is that Kaplan and Kramer have reached the finals and will battle for the honflr of leading one of the most popular divisions of pugilism.

V_ Never before in the history of the division have two youngsters been more evenly matched. They have done everything that has been asked of them in disposing of others at their weights which victories have brought them together. There were at least 30 other good fighters to be put out of the running. They did it. The winner of this contest will be a real champion because each pos sc seed nil the necessary qualifications. Each can punch with terrific force for men of their poundage, each is clever and fast and each, despite his short time in the game, has gained a world of experience, due to the fart that each has been shoved along as rapidly as possible toward the ulti mate goal of every good fighter—the championship throne. Odds even right in New York •ai*“ slightly in favor of Kramer. This is due to the fart that the Quaker iCty ring product has been in the game a bit longer than his foe and thus has n record that Is a hit more im pressive but odds mean nothing in boxing. The victor will be a busy young man. He will have to defend the title against a flock of good fight ers who have engaged in the elimina tlon contests and are good enough to command attention of promoters who seek rhnmpionship affairs t*o lure cash customers to box offices.

They will have a chance to add a little to the many hind things they have said of Romero when he gets through with Boh Roper, a product of the world war, In Grand Rapids New Year’s day. Romero is sure to register a win over the veteran army captain who has been a mere trial horse for the rest of the heavyweight brigade si nee he left the nrmy and took up the more profitable job of denting the maps of opposing mitt stingers. Rob Is about nil through. Jfe merely goes along picking up a pyres* here nnd there nnd is tough enough to give the opposition enough argument to make his services In d**hmnd but the Chilean will have to win rather de cisively* or the scribes will have to re tract some of the things they have said in his favor.

Nebraska Fish and, Game Bureau Makes Extensive Plans for 1925 Lincoln, Dec. 27.—AVith 1.000,000 brook trout eggs hatching at Jlenkle man, 550,000 ot A'alentlne and more than 400.000 at tlretna and with a new' hatchery In the making at Rock Creek, seven miles out of Parks, in Dundee county, Nebraska fishermen can sit track and think of the good old summer time with a srnlle of sat isfaction and think o' .he tales they can tell when they make a cateh. The planting of eggs in streams throughout Nebraska is only a part of the work of the state fisli sod game bureau beaded by Game War den George G. Koster. Protection of all game by means of the "dosed season" and Hie enforcement of the same, l!ie issuing of licenses and Hie distribution of game are only a few of Hie duties performed by the state for the limiter ami fisher man's benefit. Thousands of pheasants have been distributed over tile state. In fact so many have flocked to the western part of Nebraska that the bird lias h"eii declared almost a nui sance. Klsli bate been so evenly distributed that every railroad that runs into the state has been used for their delivery. The number of hunting ami fishing IKenscs Issued by the department since the Koster administration shows an increase of from 67,229 in 191416 trf approximately 15,000 in 1924. Strict enforcement of the game laws, which requires each Individual who hunts or fishes to bp armed with a license, lias i a US's! the Inrre.isp, Koster explained.

Yictory of Hagen in British Open Outstanding Feat Cyril Walker and Bobby ' Jones Were’ Big Figures in Golf of 1924. nHIC winning of the British open golf championship by Walter Hagen for the second time in three years was the outstanding achievement of the year In American ■golf, although the defeat of the Brit ish team in the Walker Cup matches and of its individual members In the national amateur championship may be regarded by some as being of equal note. .Strange to relate, Hagen was unable to win at home, however, lie was just among those present, when the American title went to Cyril Walker, a slight little whiffet of a man from the Englewood Country Club. Walker won the Metropolitan open some years ago. but otherwise his performance have hardly been worthy of note. Ilobby Jones, dethroned In this tournament, came back like a bad check in the amateur championship at Merlon and won as he pleased. It was Jones' first amateur title In spite of the fact that he long has been recognized as one of the great est living golfers. His victory in the final round came at the ex pense of George Vou Elm, of Ixa Angeles, who was autelassed. Dexter Cummings, of Yale, won the intercollegiate title. Among Iho women, Mr*. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, of Pittsburgh, win ner of many titles in another day and age, returned to the races and won the championship In the final round from Miss Mary Browne, of Califor nia. The loiter furnished the sensation by reaching the finals in golf and the semi-final* In tennis during one and the same campaign. Mickey Walker to Box McTi^ue Soon New York.

Great Strides Made in Tennis During 1924 State Tournament Most Close ly Contested, Successful Ever Held in Nebraska; Lincoln Players 'Star. By RALPH NEWELL. I KINO 19S4 tennis made some wonderful strides in Omaha and Nebraska in general. While the weather was unfavorable for a part of the time the game pro gressed rapidly. The Nebraska state tournament, played on the university courts. at Lincoln under tlio direction of Gregg McBride, was tlie most closely con tested and successful ever held In Nebraska. Competition In both singles and doubles was keen and the winners were In doubt to the last second of play. Players from 31 towns entered the matches. Lincoln net artists brought fame anti glory to their home town by winning both the singles and doubles championships. Paul Mahopd won the singles and In company with Fred Archard triumphed In the doubles. Harry Kills was runner-up in the singles. Diesing and Finkel of Omaha placed second In the doubles. In the singles Mabood won In four sets while In the doubles Ma hood and Archard won In three straight sets. Many of the best ‘players In Oma ha were missing from the Nebraska tournament because of the Missouri Valiev meet at Sioux City. The Sioux City meet had been scheduled for the previous week but was held over. In Omaha great Strides of sdvance tnent were noted in the net game. More than 410 teams were listed with the Municipal association in addition to the numerous players who compet ed at the various country elubs. It was a common occurrence on the mu nieipal courts for players to wait tiiyee and four hours for a rliance to play. In the city municipal tennis tour nament, staged liy the Municipal as sociation, 197 players were entered. The championship was won by Al bert Finkel, who defeated Hobb Shoemaker. 6-4 and 6-S. The local city championship singles and doublfh meet was staged on the Omaha Field club courts un der the management of Ralph New ell. Upsets in the ‘dope were fre quent and not until the final rounds did tho favorites appear as such. Af ter a gruelling* four-set frnry with Ralph Powell, David Davis won the singles honors. Another upeet was noted in the dotili'es championship setto. Ken nedy and Scribner lost to Davis and Powell in three straight sets. The smashing game of the winners prov ed too much for the gauie-hearted Kennedy and Ills partner. Prospects for the advancement In the game during 7925 are considered Hie best ever. Additional funds have' been set aside by the city commit ! sioners for the construction of new courts nt sites to be determined later.; The Missouri Valley tournament for the coming year will he held at Dos Moines, the Nebraska state tourna ment at Lincoln, and tho Omaha meets at courts yet undetermined.

Sunday Bulldog Sporty ' " Yanks Have Big -j Season on Track'; Win Olympics Paddock, Houser, Brookins and Osborne Help Make 1924 Successful Track Year. came into II a era o( greateht prosperity in track and field athletics during ths season of 1924, the campaign culminate ing in a convincing victory over the na tion* of the world in the Olympic game* at Paris. In dividual v i c t o riel were ecored by the following: Two hundred me tre*, Scholz; 310 metre hurdles, Kin sey; 400 metre hufdles, Taylor; high jump, Osborne; shot put. Houser; run ning broad jump, Hubbard: pole vault, Barnes; discus throw, Tootell; 400 metre relay, Hussey, Clark, Murchi son and Boroney; 1,600-metre relay, Cochrane, Stevenson, McDonald and Heiffrich! Amerira placed all four of its v 1 starters in the two sprinti, Scholz | and Paddock running one-two in the 200-metre dash. It also got the first three places in the pole vault, first, second and fourth in the high jump and discus, first and second in the hammer throw-, and first, third and fourth in the shot put. Ill addition. Osborne furnished a * new world record in the decathlon and a new Olympir record in the high jump: I-egendre hung up new world figures, 25 feet. 6 5-16 inches, in thp broad jump of the pentath lon series; Morgan Taylor repeated his world record effort of 52 3-5 sec onds in the final heat of the 4011 metre hurdles, the 4(M!-metre relay team stepped fts distance in 41 sec onds, a world's record, and the 1.600 metre team did likewise in 3 min utes 16 seconds. Outside of Nurmt and Ritola. the Finns, who scored nine-tenths of the 4 print* of that nation, America sup plied the only double winners of the^ M games in Osborne and Houser. It was * a groat American team that wa* only prevented from overwhelming its field hv a eeries of misfortunes, notahly the disqualification of Fr«oklns In the 400 metre hurdles and Guthrie In the 110 metre hurdles, and the Injury to Co ard Taylor, probably the greatest quarter-miier of the present genera- | tion. Nurmi, of course, was the out standing figure of the meeting in win ning the 1,500-metre. 5.00©-nU 3,000-mrtre team race and the 10,000 rr.etre cross-country run within a sin gle we»k. He proved himself the | greatest runner of all time. (liarley Paddock, who wa* a bit “underdone" in hi* training for the games, was a disappointment, get ting fifth in the 100-metre and sec ond in the 206-metre run. Bui he came hack at the national cham pionship* at West Orange. X'. J., and left no doubt in the minds of those who saw him a* to his right to be rater! the premier sprinter of the world. On the occasion in question he won the 100-yard dash from Mur chison and Leeoney in 9 3-5 second^ equalling his world's record for r -1 distance. Less than an hour later Paddock ran the legs off Murchison ^ to win the furlong hy four yards in 20 4-5, equalling another of his world marks. Running In that form In the Olym pic game*. Paddock would have been unbeatable and the British chant of triumph over the victory of Abrahams 1 over our best sprinters at 100 meters would have been stilled forever. Another great performance went to the P-oston college two-mile relsv team which defeated Cambridge uni tensity st the Pennsylvania relay games In 7:47 3-5. a world's record.
