TBI YCORO OWN J 1813-1820 Tsxnaa Strati amounts of money will be. placed today, but the arrivals of special trains between now and Monday will boost the betting they be lieve. Hlckard has recovered from all nervous nesa he may have felt over th financial outcome of the battle, tie now., believes the profits from the battle alone will amount to $100,0u0. "I expect the receipts to be about $200,000," he said. "Our expenses have been a little less than 1160,000. We should clear about $100,000." Seat sales here since the tickets were bought up from San Francisco by Jack Cleason, have been highly pleasing to the promoters. Practically all of the $50 and $10 seats are gone. The higher priced seals sold quickly on account of their good loca tion and a large part of them were re served before the sale opened here. Many bought the $10 seats because they were high and the spectators who hold them will get the boneflt of a breeze If one Is blowing on the day of the battle. Those who expected to purchase $5 seats will be disappointed, for there will be none at that price. "Folks who want to pay $5 will have to get telephone privileges," said Rickard, laughlngl. No Betting; In IVew York. NEW YORK, July 2.-Fred J. Brooks, who has placed thousands of dollars on previous championship fights and handles the bulk of Wall street wagers on elections and flstlo events, says he Is at sea over the betting situation of the Jeffries-Johnson contest. 'There's simply no betting." said Brooks . today. "Where there were formerly thousands put up, there Is only small stuff wagered on this fight. I never saw so lit tle bottlng." The biggest wager so far made locally is one of $f.BO0 to $1,401 on Jeffries. One man has $8,000 to bet on Jeffries at 10 to t In blocks of not less than $500.

Throughout the suUry days preceding the big fight which is t.j on pulied off at Keiio tomorrow, much hau beLn Lend of Je.'frloa and jtiiiison. but comparatively little has found Us nay Into print uuiioi ruing Tx Rickard, promutor o me fistic evui.t. Ana jet, Tex K.cktiid has a history replete with interest. , Most everybody Is under the Impression that Rlckard is a native Toxan. because he looks the Texan, acts the Texan and seldom pauses to oorrect the impression which places his nativity in the Lone Btar state. Fact la, Rlckard is willing to let it be understood that he la a Texan, be cause the stork In winging its westward way happened to drop him in Sunnier county, Kansas, and be It written into the record now that Tex Rlckard is not of the Kansas type, lie has never been a populist, and he would hardly. If elected to the legislature, bum midnight oil in complication of freak legislation. Although not born In Texas, lie i cached tnere as quickly 'as possible, for when he was a mere lad his parents moved to Texas, ai.d Tag remained Uieru until Texas legisla tors, departing from the lioerulity ihut once characterised their lawinaKiug ap paratus, began to enact freak laws aner tho fashion of Kansas. Thwt was too much for Klckaxd. Ho threw up his Job as city marshal of Henrietta and rushed to the Klondike. 'There he made a fortune. Returning from 'Alaska, ldckarj opened the finest gambling house Seattle has ver soeo, and there he dropped the gold that Alaska bad yielded up to him. About that time there came the Guldfield excitement RJckuid Joint! the rush. He . cleaned up another fortune. This time he held aloof from ' gambling house invest ment. Inatad, lie built the Great North ern hotel at Ely, Kv., and it has made money for hliu from the beginning. He llkea Nevada his liking , being bnel, most likely, on the fact that Nevada Is the on lingering spot of utilamtd wild west,' the one place where picturesque mining camp ways fc-re still permitted, in the open. There was a time in Kickard's career when S30 per month and board looked at tractive. That" period covered a few years prior to the time Hie became city marshal of Henrietta', when he 'punched cattle un a large ranch along the north Txus border. Henrietta, was a second Dodge City in those days, and the city authorities having quietly s.s4 , Rlckard up on various oc casions, dsclded he was the man to Mas tsrsonlse the village and he did it. "Per th! la the only case on record where V KOPICS ITORI if! a police officer was imported from a cow camp without ever having been a resident of the town be was to serve. Here of late years Tex has adopted sar torial way that bespeak somewhat of pea cockoge. His hosiery ,lias the glint of silk well displayed, his diamond stud Is ss large as an Iowa crabapple, and his ruddy face gives out the glowing Impression that tho man behind the face la no stranger to the mane our. If Tex Rlckard were to suddenly drop into Omaha, pedestrians meeting him on the street would be entitled to excuse If they were to exclaim: "Holy smoke! Look how Mayur Jim Is togged up," for It is a fact that Tox Rlckard bears a striking re semblance to Mayor Dahlman or rather Dahlmun would look like Tex Rlckard if he were to give the same careful attention to personal appearance and if he wore the same kind of toggery. And yet, all along the Texas border there are men today who recall a time when Tex Rlokard's entire wardrobe consisted of buckskin trousers, blue flannel shirt, a bandana and a som brero. First Great Fight Between Heavies When Jack .Stark Whipped Jem Broughton More Than a Cen tury Ago. Tomorrow will see the great heavyweight battle between Jack Johnson, the present champion, and James J. Jeffries. How dlf ferent will be the meeting of Jeffries and Johnson from the first battle for this cov eted distinction. It took place in the long long ago. In 1750, to be exact, and In Eng land. The story of It makes interesting reading. Jack Broughton, one of the com batants, was a Thames rlverman. He had practiced the "manly arts of foil play, back sword, cudgelling and boxing" since the days of Fig, the first great public fighter. From 1743 his amphitheater In Oxford road had been the center of pugilism. Jack Black, the other man, had been butcher in Norwich. He was fully three Inches shorter than Broughton, but his weight was the same. On April 11, 16Q years ago, at noon, they came together at Broughton's amphitheater and two finer gladiators never faced each other In the history of pugilism. They wore no gloves or bandages on their hands. V hen the preliminaries were over the men moved with dignity to the center of the ring amid a breathless silence. tilack waited for the veteran to open the contest, and Broughton slashing out Slid' denly, sent his right home on his oppo nent'a chin. Instantly the silence with which the spectators had awaited the first clash was broken by a wave of applause, and as Slack ripped In three ineffective blows the fhoutlng swelled In volume. Matters went all In favor the cham plon for some time, but it was a signif icant fart that, In spite of the terrible handling he had received, the butcher was showing few signs of distress. Bo enthus.astic was the duke of Cumber land, however, that he offered to bet toO.OlU at odds of 10 to 1 on Brourhton. Captain CluvUnnd, who had been instrumental In promoting the match, quietly took the wager. As the men came up for the seventh rcuud ISroughton's great chest was rising and falling with deep, rapid breathing. tjiucU's Becund blow ripped open the vet eran's ear, but before the butcher could re cover, broughton had smashed in his stomach blow with which he had ended many a contest. It caught Slack fairly in the body and dropped him on his knees like a sack. To thote who knew Brough ton, it was a matter for wonder that the butcher recovered so quickly. But he spraug up strong and ready for the next round. He got past the veteran's guard at a cost of a stunning clip on the ear, and catching him fairly, with a mighty effort, sent, him spinning on his back. It was a clean, masterly fall, and the amphl thtater thundered with the spontaneous roar of approval, in which even Brough ton's supporters Joined. The champion was In some distress as he sought his corner A little later on the vtteran was dated by a tcrriflo blow between the eyes. In stead of aiming a blow at his man, he reached out his arm as though groping for his adversary. The butcher began to rain blows on the face and body at will. They sprayed Ilroughton'a face repeat edly, but to no purpose. He was blinded And led to the center of the ring, th mighty champion of a hundred battle raised his huge fists that had laid low so many stout opponents, and struck out un daunted, still hopeful of wresting the vie tory that had so often been his. forgetful of his terrlflo punishment urged on by hi Indomitable spirit, h sprang in with uplifted fists. For an In slant Slack saw himself threatened. H drew his right, hand to his breast and lashed out with the "chopper" blow side swing from the elbow. The back of his fist csught the champion Under the Jaw, lifting him from his ft, and hurling him headlong. Broughton's sec onds tried to lift him, but he sank back with a grosji beaten. The Other Extreme. "Well," sighs the ruan with the wash ti. "now that the aeroplane is becoming popular the women won't srxnd so much money for automobile hats and veils." "No." growls the man with the ingrow ing moustache. "But they'll blow in Just as much on silk stockings and hlgh-heelsd shoe." Judge. The Key to the Situation Ue Want Ads! . rvw sn n TENNIS 10URNAMENT ENDS Kiss La ant Zimmerman Defeat Kin Lucille Fellers. FKLZES ABE ALL AWARDED Girls Plr Homo Past Tennis mud a Large Gallery Applands tho Finish of tho Week's flay. Miss Laura Zimmerman, In defeating Miss Luclle Fellers in the. final match of the consolation series, closed the annual wom en's tournament at the Field club. This makes the winners of the tournament Miss Carmelita Chase the champion of Omaha, with Miss Hortense Clarke the runner-up; Mrs. J. M. Cudahy and Miss Kate Moores the champion doubles, with Miss Krna Reed and Miss Margaret Rainey the runners-up, and Miss Zimmerman the winner of the consolation series, with Miss Luclle Fel lers the runner-up. Frizes were awarded the successful play ers on Saturday afternoon by Miss Kate Moores, the chairman of the committee In chargetof the tournament. The winners of the firsts in the championship events re ceived each a beautiful cup, the runner-up n the singles, a gold bracelet and the winner and runner-up in the consolation series a, coin purse and a hatpin respect ively. The match between Miss Zimmerman and Miss Fellers was very interesting to the gallery, but Miss Fellers did not really get Into the game until the second set had be gun, when It looked for a time as if sue might win after all. The first set went to Miss Zimmerman, 6-1, and she outplayed Miss Fellers in all the points of the game, but the second was a duece one and ended 6 in her favor. Both the girls play a fast game of ten nis and give promise of becoming con testants of cbamplunshlp quality before many years. Miss Fellers has a fine serv ing ball with a great deal of speed and some curve, but she has not learned to control it yet and Is liable to make a dou ble trying to use It. In returning the ball she uses a straight cut on a forward stroke, but her backhand stroke is very weak, and on this account she lost many points. Mint Zimmerman has a good serve, not as swift as her opponents, but with a sharp drop that la very disconcerting. Her return is always sure, and she places the ball, using her head at all stages of the game, and discovering her opponents' weaknesses. Both of the girls are Omaha high school students.

Mrs. Cudahy has an almost perfect lawford, that sho uses in returning a ball, which makes it hard for the person oir the other side of the net; and Miss Moores Is in com mand of several kinds of cuts and curves of the ball that fool the opposing players. Both players use their heads In placing the oall glso. The runners-up In the doubles put up a fine game, but they were outclassed by the older players Miss Reed Is a Brownell Hall girl and Miss Rainey a high school student, and both, although new at the game, showed that they will In the near future ue players of some note.
