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.

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.
Srihcs who keep the public In
formed on the doings of the cauli
flower car industry, Irivc beep sing
ing the praises of Romero Rojas
since the Chilean outpointed Jack
Renault. They believe he is one of
the best challengers for the crown
that has since July 4. 1919, adorned
the noblri brow of Jack Dempsey.
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.
Ton.v Fuente, the Mexican who
did a turn with Fred Fulton In I,os
.Angeles that the fans of that lo
cality did not relish. Is to meet
If Minor Ntnili in Mexico C|ty. Ilomcr
is one of the has-beens of the heavy
weight class. Thus Fuente must
win decisively If lie Is to remain In
the challenger class, which is too
well filled mnv with men who have
no business claiming membership.

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.
The declines ill 1921 and 1923 rail

weather dining the limiting season.
The year 1921 «.qs a poor year fi
nancially III other brunches of sport
also. Hosier stated.
Figures are not .vet available on
Hie number ot violations of the
game laws, but Hie game warden
expects the increase to correspond
with tin* number of licenses issued.
Hunting or fishing without a li
cense Is the principal offense,
closely followed bv such violations
as kilting out of season, use of nets,
use of leaps and the killing of song
birds. The following figures show

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.

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.

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.
The team was made tip of McKlllop,
Mahoney. Welsh and Cavanaugh.

something of an upset. The Bulldog I
also supplied the tndtvidua! cross. I
country winner In M. It Smith, but
Pittsburgh won ths team prise, an
other unforseen occurrence. Fred
