Kinney show* considerable stuff 1n
the mile, and Conlh Adams is train
Ing him for this event, alt hough he
was a half tniler in high school.
Peercy and Prather are the best at
hand for the 140. nnd Mead will prob*
ably be used In the half mile. Vender

l till a surprise when the tryouts are
held.
In the field, Schneider la looping

On the weights Adame ie very
weak, having no one on the squad
who can perform In this department
creditably. Slater, Mead and Prather
have been working out regularly on

not the physiques necessary to ex

regular due In lack of hurdles, hut
Prather and Kd Thompson are work

Coach Adams is hoping to get a

eves inrneil to

Thirty-third and

will meet this
week with Com

other airing in the
much discussed
centralized tennis
court project.
The association
is hanking on re
ceiving the assent
nf Hummed to its
utilizing the tract
of land at this location for its 3 2
courts, and if the official sanction is
given, work will start immediately,
line to the illness of Harry Korll,
Who has been one of the prime fac
tors in the centralized tennis court
drive, the association has delayed
action oil tile matter for seieral
days, but as soon as lie has recov
ered. will lake up the hrftnd again.
The pr,,posed site at Thirty-thlril
and llavenport streets is an ideal
loratimi for the courts. Spacious,
far enough out not to be a nuisance
to adjacent property owners, and
close enough to the down town dis
trict to enable recqiicteer* to make :
a quick jaunt to the playing field,
it will afford an excellent site for
the courts.
The association is in favor of th<*
site, and all that remains is to re
ceive the support of Commissioner
Hummel.
According to one .Omaha paper,
Hummel intends to use the {5,000 ap
propriated by the city last year for
the centralized courts in expanding
and Improving the present municipal
courts in the scieral parks, but this
is not true.
According to one of the clauses of
the measure granting the money, if
the $5,000 is not used in toe construc
tion of the centralized courts, it re
verts to the general fund.

□ IE telephones In The Omaha Bee
editorial office will be kept busy
Tuesday evening. About 10 P
m. they will start ringing and will
continue tingling until all hungry
light fans have been informed of the
winner of the "Are" UudkinsJoe
Benjamin 10 round bout.
lludkins and Benjamin are sched
uled to swing the leather at each
other in Vernon Tuesday night In
what is expected will lie a real battle.
1'hey have been hurling challenges at
each other for some time, and this
week will settle for once and all time
just who the better of the two hap
pens to be.
Keports from California, espe
< ialiy fats Angeles and San Fran
eisro, indicate that Ketijainin, be
cause of his victor)’ over .lark Sil
ver, will enter the ring the favorite,
lludkins is not a California product.
Benjamin is.
Benjamin will leate California for
New York city after his bout wifli
lludkins. He is scheduled to fight
in the lightweight tournament. Hud
Kins is reported tied up with a pro
moter in Newark. X. 4., for fights
after his Itout with Benjamin.
Omaha friends of lludkins want
"Ace" tc win. of course. Tliey be
lieve file former Omaha lightweight
can hold his own with Benjamin
and base their belief on the fact
that lludkins Is a more rugged
fighter than 4oe and as capable of
taking punishment as the San
Francisco lightweight.
If Hudkins heals Benjamin and
heats him decisively the Nebraska
bov will he in great demand through
out the country. He has made him
self considerable money fighting in
California, but bis earnings will in
crease if he trims the cocky Benja
min.
JAMES IJl.'NCAN', thr new golf
professional at Lakoma Country
club, who recently arrived in
Omaha from Los Angeles, .says llud
kins is a very popular lighter among
the fans In and around l.os Angeles.
The I,ak«ma "pro" has seen both
Hudkins and Benjamin fight. He
says Hudkins is a tough fellow and
tan hit, but that Benjamin is a
more finishrd boxer. Duncan be
lieves that Benjamin can Idt as
hard as Hudkins, but isn't as good
an inflghter as the Nebraska boy.
Duncan, by the way. is going tn
make a big hit with the golfers of
Omaha. Tile former ( alifornia pro
fessional is a native of Scotland
and. like Ids famous brother,
George, swings a mean gulf club.
The Lakoma Country' club will give
a banquet in honor of Duncan at the
Elks' tluh Tuesday night. All the
Omaha "pio»" and many prominent
golfers will be pi^sent to see Charlie
(Johnston, Country club professional,
| introduce Mr. Duncan to Omaha.
Duncan has a personality that is
bound to make a big hit at the ban
quet.
lie is one of three new golf pro
ftFsionala that take up their duties
in Omaha this month. The two otber
pros" who will instruct at Omaha
clubs are A1 Hearn, Happy Hollow
Olid Charles Heaney, Highland Coun
try cluo "pro.”
George Miller, assistant to Man
Davies al the Meld club, has been
appointed "pro" at Spenrer, la.
With Duncan at l.akome. Davies
at the Meld club, Johnston at the
Country rlub, Hearn at Highland
uml Al ltearn at Happy Hollow,
golf is due for a big year in Ne
braska.
The annual Transmlsaissippi
tournament will be held at the Field
< iuli this slimmer and the annual Ne
braska state tournament Is slated to
1..nd tn Omaha this coming season.
They are enough to create new inter
est in golf, to say nothing of the
three new professionals who will
boost the game here.
GEORGE VEAGF.n. matchmaker
for the Spanish American War
Veterans, will promote a box
ine show at the Auditorium on Fri
day Apr It IT.
Yeager is starting something new
tor the Auditorium. He is follow
ing ill the footsteps o( Dick Grolte,
matchmaker l»r the Klks. Grolte
stages fistic shows at the Klks at
popular prices. Boxers are not im
ported from eastern cities, and for
the most part the principals in the
honts are preliminary fighters, but
they K1G1IT. Gmtte's shows liaxe
attraeted good crowds. The Klks
haven't made a lot of money from '
these shows, but the rlub makes
enough each time so that after an
other show or two tlierr will be
enough money in the athletic fund
to purchase equipment for the new
gymnasium.
The Spanish-American w.ar pro
moter is going to try the same
stunt al the Auditorium. He li.as
signed Carl Augustine tn fight
Kverelt strong: Kotg.tll to fight
Mike Dale and Liston In fight a

it nil on the high coat of eastern

first time since lie started promoting 1
