4 S TTTE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: PRTL 27, 1:M.1. KILBANE TOJIEET DUNDEE Xittle Men Come Together at Vernon Next Tuesday. CHAMPION MAKES III8 TALK Announces He is Through rrlth (he PenthrrrrelRht Class Atter This Bight Hecnuse of Increas ing Weigh. Jtr W. W. .NAUOIlTdV. CAN FRANCISCO, April .-tor a while the heavywelKhts, llghtwclRhts and middleweight will have to take a baok seat "We have a classy featherweight event to focus attention on now. and by the aame token It la a world's cham pionship affair. McCarey's arena at Vernon will be the scene of the encounter and April 23, the date. The principals will be two Johnnies ICllbane and Dundee and unless all signs fait the bout will be memorable one. Kllbane has said frequently that the tro with Dundee will mark his farewell appearance as a featherweight. Johnny has advanced a double reason for his desertion of the 124-pound division. In creasing: weight Is the main thing whjch impels him to throw In his lot with the lightweights and he Is also Influenced hy the reflection that Dundee Is almost the only featherweight left to fight. "When I box Dundee, who Is there for me to meet?" Is Ktlbano's favorite way of putting It. What Jolinnr Mentis, It Is a notorious fact that when a champion rlnsman says unythlng his re marks arc shredded and analyzed by critics and others who want to tatlsfy themselves as iti whether uny hidden or double meaning lurks In them. The usual course Is being followed In tho case of Kllbane and uotno one hai discovered that Johnny's refcrenca to the scractty of opponents, Increasing poundage and a consequent chnngo of class suggests that the champion Is laying the foundation for an alibi In case things go wrong In the clash with Dundee, "The fellow who looks ahead Is the wlso jruy," said a man who Inclines to the belief that Kllbatio 1c Intentionally ambiguous. ''If Dundee wins It will not surprise me If Kllbane says: 'I know I would weaken myself making the weight and I was foolish to try It.. 1 hod already given out that It was to be my last fight as a featherweight. Tho one be fore should havo been my last.' " This merely goes to nhov how a cham pion's word may be welgUed. It must ho said, however, that If Kllbuns Is as sailed with an atom of doubt In respect to tho result nf next Tuesday's bout, he is concealing the fact wonderfully with tho desire to back himself to the tune of $10,000, but this Is probably one of the Innocent bluffs that high class fighters nre sometimes allowed to get away with. If any backer of Dundee were to soy "what odds do you give," Kllbane would probably say "I wnnt oven money" and as supporters of Dundee can do better than that In the open market, there Is mall probability nf Kllbane's (10,000 being tapped. The chances are Kllbane Is sincere about Joining the ranks of the light weights. He hns frequently shown him self to bo possessed of an ambition of that kind, and now that ho Is getting heavier It Is natural that a move of that description should be close to his thoughts. As an augury of suvess in his new field Kllbane points to the fact that Its defeated Joe Tllvcrs shortly lxfore the latter blossomed out art a lightweight, lie thinks he can stop over Into Rivers' present class and repeat the performance and from what tho sports of Los Angeles are saying, It Is evident that quite a number of the southein sport tight fans agree with Kllbane, Los Angeles Inhabitants are beginning" to look upon Joe lUvers as a tighter who has shot his bolt. Tho boui with Kayo (Brown showed weak spots in Rivers" con dition, and his later affair with Leach Cross helped to give color to suspicions that had already formed. "Whatever tho causa Itlvers has shown a falling away In several of hla recent fights and In the absence of any other explanation, some of his friends are In sisting that there Is a very old proverb which says: "A young man married Is man that's marred." Vleiitr ot Time for Talk. It "will be time enough to talk of a lUvers-Kllbane match, however, when the KUbant-Dundee contest Is a thing ot the past In the event of Kllbane winning It Is practically a certainty that he will be signed with Rivers. But It may be that the program will be changed, or at least that there will be a postponement in the event that Dundee relieves Kll bane of the featherweight title. Certainly a defeat when leaving tho featherweight division would not lend clat into Kllbane'a entry into the light weight ranks. Hers In the west It Is believed that Dundee Is the most formidable boy Klf bane has tackled since be became cham pion. San Franciscans who have seen Dundee In action In the east proclaim him a second Terry McQovern and If there Is anything In the suspicion that making 123 pounds Is no easy matter for Kllbane Just now, It would appear that the title holder would do well not to peculate so much on the future, but give undivided attention to tho task that confronts him next Tuesday night Whichever way the thing goes there is a treat In store for the patrons of Vernon. Kllbane Is a prime favorite down that way on account of his extreme cleverness and It is felt that wllllna; Tobnnle Dundee will force Kllbane to employ all the cleverness he is pos sessed of.

Too early yet to gq Into rhapsodies over Individual pen nant chances. It must be confessed that Greater New York will not have to ile pend on little old Manhattan Isle this year for all Us base ball. Chnrlcs E. Kb bets will cut some figure In the National league race this season, or n whole lot of wise ones who hibernate about these dig gings will be sadly disappointed. The Brooklyn magnato seems on the eve of realizing his long cherished ambition a real ball team for a town qualified In every manner to be one of the very best In this country. Brooklyn Is not likely to win a pennant the coming campaign. Hut Brooklyn on the form It Is showing this spring has a mighty fno chance of crowding some of the long-turm trnnants out of the first division. Outsldn of New York and Pitts burgh It would lie hard to single nny ono contender In the Lynch circuit its favor ite over the Dodgers. This Is said, of course, with a mind on pure base ball ability. Brooklyn, to my mind, shapes up stronger and better balanced In all departments than the Phillies. Ot the Reds wn will reserve Judgment for Joe Tinker at short Is bound to make a vast Improvement If his managerial burdens prove not too heavy. Counting on Cincin nati's 1912 team and making liberal al lowances for Tinker's Individual skill Brooklyn would suffer no way by com parison. Irons; on Defense. Defensively the Brooklyn aggregation shapes up stronger than nt any time since the halycon pennant days. Manager BUI Dahlen Is well provided with battery talent which, after all Is Just about M per cent ot defense. With the possible exception of Jimmy Archer, no better throwing catcher can be produced than Otto Miller. Krwln Is a good second man, for he Is big, strong and reliable If less finished than his stable mate, and Is a rather consistent .performer with the bat a fellow liable to do most of his hit ting In the pinches. Nome IMtehlnir Staff. When It comes to southpaw pitching, no other club can match such a pair as nucker and Allen. Nap Is the class of the parent major league, "nubo" Mar quard and his nineteen consecutive vic tories notwithstanding. Allen Is Just coming Into his own. He has had enough mnjor league experience to test his mettle; he will no doubt Improbo some this season, though on what he hns shown so far there Is llttlo room for Im provement Tho fact that he has two dependable portslders who may be worked in regular turn not only forti fies Bill Dahlen against left-handed hit ting combinations, but will further en hance the value ot hts right-handed pitch ing. The manager who can alternate with the "fork-hand" stuff has an op ponent guessing nil the time. There Is not the same opportunity toraure Ditch. Infc deliveries. Brooklyn, too, has some competent right-handed tossing talent, without taking Into consideration any ot the recruit fllngers. Especially true this should be If Knetzer decldos to coma back to the fold, which ho Is likely to do very soon. Ragon, Knetser, Ylnnllnr. Alack and Barger, while none as classy as the mighty Nap Rucker, are all above the average skill and quite formidable enough to help land tho club umong the first four If the offensive side of the team continues as strong as It has been. Inflelit f.iiokn flood, For after the manner In which the Dodgers have been performing there ap pears unusual strength in attack as well as on defense. In Jake paubert the In field boasts the finest first baseman In the National league. The other wing Is almost as ably tended by "Red" Smith. Smith Is a finished ball player now and one of the very best men at his position to be found anywhere. The middle of the Infield Is the only questionable spot In the line, apparently. Around tho mid way are Cutshaw and Fisher, who have not had time to prove themselves. Cut shaw has found himself, evidently, at second base. It was a mistake last year to try to make a shortstop of him. Ho looks the part of a second baseman, all right; Is fast going, to either side of him; Is possessed of a good, accurate arm and evidently endowed with .plenty of gray matter. Of the two center men, Cutshaw seems Just now more dependable and valuable than Fisher. Tho latter, how ever, Is Improving steadily and Is so far ahead of such players as Tooley and Stark that the difficult shortstop position may be considered plugged up at last Quito fortunately for Dnhlen there Is every reason to believe that Fisher will lmprovo steadily because he will have mighty fine cpachlng. He wltl bo right between a pair of very quick thinkers and will be pegging nt the grandest first baseman In the circuit. Joko Daubert by the way Is no undeslrablo tutor. Ho should be able to help both Fisher and Cutshaw Into perfecting that unity of combination play around the keystone Which Is characteristic of nil competent infields. We come now to Bill Dahlen's outfield, which Is composed of three very fast young and energetlo men. Zach Wheat Is the only veteran of pie trio. He needs no introduction. Stengel and Benny Meyer will have to be put to the test of a full season before the fans will fully endorse them. They may develop weaknesses in batting that will dim their major league brightness. So far, how ever, they have given every evidence of cas. offensively and defensively. They are fast, steady fielders and good .throw ers. One o'f Brooklyn's chief charms Is its speed. In Its present makeup not a slow man can be found outside the butteries. Bpeed In modern base ball counts for much, as evidenced by John McOraw's marvelous champions. It Is up to Man ager Dahlen. ot course, to utilize this speed to Its. full value. BUI appears to be taking himself seriously this year for the first time. The new park has had a fine moralizing effect somehow, or may be it ooouples a H. Kbbet's full atten lion, and that Bill Is free to direct mat ters as he chooses. At nny rate there Is altogether a far different spirit In the Brooklyn club than the "happy-go- lucky," carefree attitude of former years. If Dahlen Is able to cultivate such pleasing harmony he will have solved his greatest managerial problem. Dahlen Is not well provided with sub stitutes as he tnlght wish and much of his success will depend upon the fortunes of war as apply to Injury, sickness and Two Yankee Stars Who Are "Delivering the Goods ( lilt liiy !

Ir of the Ilmtrkr Perfect, the Men Xe rr- Mthilnir n Chnnce In the Wield. The great question which was In the minds of the fans before the opening of the season was, "Will Chase make good at second baso?" The answer Is "yes." Tho Peerless Hal has already demonstrated that he can hold down the keystone Back with as much eclat as any man In tho game, with a little side line of his own "eclat" In addition. Another question which had formed In the minds of the Yankee followers was, "Will Sterrett make good at shortstop?" Sterrett him self has filed an affirmative an swer to this question, and before the season Is over It will not sur prise any close observer of the game If he proves himself to be one of the best performers In the short field In either of the major leagues. Of course, In such talk as this the flngors are always crossed out of deference to one Hans Wagner", the hoary-headed vet- CZIASBL eran of the Pirates, who frames within his own peVson an lmpenetratable wall between second and third base general Indisposition. To keep up In the fight he will havo to be fortunate enough to be In a position to present his regular talent But this same olroumsatnce ap plies to all rivals with the exception of Med raw. Tho dlants ulone eeom abso lutely fortified against all tricks of fate. John Hummel Is one Ideal utility man for ha can play most any Infield or out fielder position for a Short time Just about as well as anyone) and he Is a dangerous hitter, to boot. Cutshaw, though In his element at the keystone po sition Is a rather versatile tnflelder. Coming right down to cases, Brooklyn seoms much stronger than for many years. It Is possessed of first division possibilities and bright ones to. Tho realization of these Is up to "Bad Bill" Dahlen more than to any other thing. Wild Geese Live Thirty Years in Domesticated State Now comes the prize goose story of the season. Unlike the proverbial fish story, where tho "big one" always gets away, this yarn Is backed by facts, the birds In question and wild at that. According to tho story there Uvea Just northwest of Eldora, Kan., a farmer by Hhe'name of William Ralnsberger. This self same farmer has a flock of wild geese which are certainly a euros Ity. Aldhg about thirty years ago Mr, Ralnsberger was out hunting when a HOW PITCHERnTACKED DP' Interesting Record of Strikeout Artists in National League. NEW YORK SUPPLIED LEADER Mnthevrson Was the Leader In Seven Cnmpnlsrna Asrtvinat the Beat Materlnl In the Land, Inspection of the pitching - records ot the National league for the past- six teen years develops 'the fact that the leading strlko-out artist has generally been a member of one of tho eastern clubs. .Only during four campaigns, from 1897 to 1D12, lncluslvo, did' 'a i western team supply the pace setter In making men retreat to the bench after hitting noth ing but atmosphere. Frank (Needles) Hahn ot Cincinnati twice was the strike out' king . of 'the National league, "Rube" Waddell of Pittsburgh' once enjoyed this honor ' and ' so did Fred B'eebe during a campaign when he wore the liveries ot both the Chicago and St. Louis clubs. Hahn's years of prosperity tn the strike out line were 1899 and 1901, Weddell was the leader In . 1900 and Beebe, , ranked first during 190S, which, was the last year a westerner woa In the king row. The New York club has supplied, the strlke-out-klng In-seven ot the last six- vere the baseball experts, for they figured that Jackson could hardly be as classy as he bad been touted. SUovra Up, Well. One of the most pessimistic ot the Quaker city writers, speaking of Jack son's work on the day ot his debut, said, "Jackson Uved up to his reputation today. In the first Inning he made a good catch of Turner's drive, taking the ball as coolly as If he had been In the American league all his life. Then. In the Athletics half, he had the honor of driving in the first run of the game, Hartsel doubled, Nlcholls sacrificed, and then, otter fouling oft one, Jackson drove a clean single to left lie then showed he knew Inside base ball by racing to second after Turner had nailed Mur phy's foul," The Naps won the game, & to 2, Heinle Berger pitching against "Rube" Vlckers. This is what Jack son did In his first major league con test: Batting First Inning (Singled and scored Hartsel. Third inning Grounded out to third, Bradley making a great stop. Fifth inning Hit one ot Berger's Inshoots an awful smash, but it went right to Lajole, who threw to Bradley doubling Hartsel. Eighth Inning Tried for a home run and nearly made one. Turner making a great catch way out on the cinder path. Fielding First inning Caught Turner's fly out near flag pole. Second Inning In anxlenty to head off a runner at -the plate fumbled and was charged with an error. Second inning Caught Per ring's fly near flag pole.
