May 22.-V.Uim and n vlron continue to frown on Johnny Kll bane, regardless of the fct that he is the undisputed festherweight champion of the world, eicludltig Manhattan. To every community but thin one Kllbane appears to be without an equal among the 122-pound boys; but he la having a hard time convincing New Tork that he, In a real champion. tn the tact two yearn Kllbana ha fought only two ten-round no-delslon iout before metropolitan bugs, and In both instance he failed miserably In hla j,urpoee of establishing hlmalf th champion. Gotham's flirht element caret little for Freddie Walsh: but U carea even leu to t Johnny Kllbane tn ae- j tlon. Thia is a strange atate of affalra. coo Fidering that Kllbane can flirht. And how he can fight. Kid Williams will attest to thla atatement: and the ban tam champion la considered one of the best title battlera on thla planet. , But It eeema that before a critical New York audience Kllbane loses all desire tn show his prowess and consequently hla reputation suffers. Of 100 fight nd herenta to whom wa put the question, " Do you crave to ee Kllbane In a bout hnreT'" egaetly 1 answered, or rather ehouted, "No." Why.' Well. It seem that Kllbane holds New Yorkers for a bunch of "suckers and boobs," to some raring nomenclature. We are unable to ad vance any other seasons for Kllbane' In different work when New Yorkera are concerned. KUbane fought Kid Julian at the fct. Nicholas rink almost two years ago, and Tilled to Impress. His poor showing- was excused. Inasmuch as It wa his first bout sffr a prolonged lay-off. Previous to that Johnny had gon over to Urooklvn end nut up such an Irksome exhibition against young Drlscnll. a third rater, that he waa harshly uritlclsed. Those wbo had seen him 'perform" resolved never to witness another bout In which he was a principal. Vf"'". --MshaMasalHMiji 1 . . psjkXs?angVSu.t- PERT OnOVER. THE TALE 0FBENNY KAUFF Henke Relates "Inside" Story on the Romance of Benny's Jump to the Giants. BUT FED CONTRACT IIOLDS GOOD Tansroea vrllh Leonard. That accounts for Kllbr-n' refusal to engage In another battle here for almost two years. He thought the sentiment gainst him had withered when ha took on Penny Leonard at a local club re cently. True, Leonard Is a lightweight, which under ordinary ' clroumstanoe might have accounted for another poor showing by Kllbane. Rut Leonard scaled only ISO pounds, while Kllbane weighed 13 pounds. There waa the usual diversity of opin ion to the winner, but all the so-called experts were unanimous In exclaiming Kllbane a "cheese champion." Judging only by that bout. And yet we know that Kllbane can fight. If he onlycnncentrate his mind on the task at hand. But he absolutely refuses to do any such thing when mere irotHamlte are concerned, and that la why Kllbane Is an unpopular champion In a place where he could c&n thousands of dollars If he fought up to hi standard. Wrlara-gaylor Ptgrat. Freddie Welah, the lightweight ehsm- pion, la ached uled to box his Nemesis, j Mtlbum Paytor, at Indianapolis on the evening prior to the big auto races, said night being May 28. It appears that Welsh and Bator have met before. The meeting transpired, up at Winnipeg on October 20, 1913, and was the last Important bout Welah engaged In before he took Ritchie on over In Txrndon and boxed hlra out of hla title, "ome "record books give Welsh credit for a nine-round victory on foul over Baylor, while other credit Baylor with having a-ored a clean knockout In nine rounds. However, the Issu was not satisfactorily settled and they meet onoe more to de termine the mooted question. The referee to tnelr previous meeting, although ha rendered no official decision at the time, later declared that Baylor had knocked Welsh out. It la a noteworthy fact that Welsh has ot fought one really good battle sine he. ttaylnr Incident, although he man ured to outtap WllUe Ritchie In their af fair at London. Py those who profess to know this Is taken to Indicate that Bay-, lor had knocked out Welah with a blow to a vital spot, and' that Freddie has never recovered front the effects of the wallop.' !

For a while It. appeared ,that New rleans would become the boslng llecra, nftar twenty-round bouta became legal, out for some unexplained reason . the promoters down there were not meeting with- the success they anticipated.

By CRtNK . MKXKK, NEJW YORK, May 22.-The "Inside story" of how Denny Kauf was Induced to Jump to the Olanta, as It come to us, reaila something like a tale of no tion. Kauf was wanted by the Ulants last fall. Mod raw made him some kind of an offer, but Kauff'a contract with the Indlanapolla Feds wa of an Iron-clad nature. 8o Met! raw was "off" of Kauff. However, when Kauff was sold to the Rrooklyn feds by the Indianapolis Kerie sround the latter part of March, this year. Mod raw saw a chance to act. II figured that Kaufr old contract wouldn't hold In view of the fact that ha had been sold to another el tin, and he de cided to try to land Ksuff before he signed a new Iron-clad contract. Kauff went to Rrowna Wells, a Mis sissippi summer resort There Is nothing In the Rrowna Wells neighborhood, but a few log cabins, mostly Inhabited by negroes. Dick Klnsella, scout for th Olanta, ac cording to the story It gt, hustled to Rrowna Wells and got a Job on a planta tion near the Rrown Wrlls hotel, wher Kauff waa stopping. Klnsella didn't dare to put up at th same hotel because h waa knewn to Manager Lee Mage, RusU ness Managor Dick , Carroll and others of to Brokfeds. .There wasn't much of a chano for him to atop In llaselhurat. a nearby town, as there are only two hotel there, and Carroll knew every body who. lingered there. 'Furthermore, Haaelhurst. wa ten miles from th seen of operations. Reports to Meirw Klnselltt I said to have reported all the Avmgs of Kauft to McQraw and McOraw nd Jack Hendricks, manager of th In dlanapolld club, In th American associa tion, kept wiring Kauft under assumed name. McOraw" telegrams to Kauff, O said, wer signed 'Father." whll lleudrlck wer signed "Uncle." Kauff, w are told, got frequent telegrams while at Brcwna Wella, Most of them read along this lines: "Mother wishes to see her boy. Come at once." l ather. "Hvery thing forgiven. Come." Uncle. Those telegram about "Mother want ing to t her boy" wer to tip off Kauff that MoOraw wanted to ere him at one. Th ''everythltff forgiven telegram" was to tip Kauff that If he Jumped the National Commission probably would let him play Organised base ball. Hendricks . wanted Kauff to go back to the Giants. He owned Kauff before the kid Jumped to th Feds and wa promised nice b;nch of money It Kauft went to th OUnt. - Ksmrf Bewildered. Klnsella, In the meantime, waa bluffing at farm work. and devoting moat of hi tlm arranging secret conferences with Kauff and . coaxing him to make the Jump. Klnsella' pleadings and those code telegram. It I said, flabbergasted Kauff. 11 didn't know what to do. MatUra wer progressing very nicely In favor of th Olanta. when . Klnsella waa forced to quit hi Job as farmer and aent , along to bead off Pitcher "Poll" Perritt, wbo wa on' hla, way to Join th Pittsburgh Federals at' Augusta. Kln sella waa successful in that mission. He headed off Perritt and- landed hla signa ture to a Giant contract, but In th mean time Dick Carroll got Kauft la a corner and . asked htm why he didn't want to , Ign. ' Kauff bammed and bawsd and finally said he wanted more money than the old Indianapolis contract called for, , "How mnch do you wantT" naked Car roll. ' Msrna fee Tare Year. I "Htx thousand a year and a three-year contrast," "Accepted," said CarrolL and Xauff slimed up at that flgur. A whll later Kauff got In touch with Ktnsello and MeGraw. He told them that he had signed up at 15,000, and. It la said, they told htm h wa foolish to do It. "You're worth more than that," Kauff wa told. "Wall, how much would you fellow ray met" askedJkuff. "We'll gtvo you 17.009 a year for thre year and a bonus,'; I said to have been th offer made to Kauff. "That would have mad hi salary over t,ta a year. "Well, can't I sign nowr asked Kauft "What sort of a contract hsv you got?" he wa asked. Kauff toJ them, and at length the 4- Joseph j ld v difficulty he had with Robert B. vv xa, , presi'iem oi me nroosreas, over th contract. 'The' Giant people thought that owing to Kauffs trouble, or alleged trouble,- over-th Urookfed contract that h waa not legally .under contract to that club.' and a deal :wa framed whereby Kauff signed a Ulsnt contract and mad hla famous, but .futile,' Jump. . .. sr 'RAK Qt H.LF.V. feveral players that have been Lnable to grab a berth with one of the clssa "A" teams of the Orster Omaha league, wMch Is a member of the Omaha mt tcur association, have Imbued the lda that they can and will start an opposl-1 ; tlon organisation that will make th J Omaha Amateur association fade away UK a calico skirt. The main defect with their plan I that ; they have waited too long. Probably they , are of the opinion that success comes to hlra wh walls. It may occasional'-, but the writer la unable to conceive how any ' thing can be gained by waiting, unless ! rm mM ftmljAmil lit m afA Whftll tha Omaha Amateur association anchored In Omsha It had a rocky road to travel, but now that the sssoclatlon has buf feted all the storms and overcome all Its enemies with a few exceptions. It will b a tougher proposition than the oppo sition ever dreamed of to ost them from the baee ball pedestsl now occupied by them. Today the association Is a strong as the rock of Gibraltar and I a mighty bulwark. If their criticism had any foundation probably someone would listen to It, but their sole object Is to overthrow the ss snclatlon because they were unable to manipulate the pill fast enough to make good. What they should do I to Join one of. the das "B" leagues and then graduate to the Greater Omaha league. Director to Meet. Next Wednesday, May 2. at the coun cil chamber of the city hall the director of the Omaha Amateur aasodatlon will convene. This meeting will be an Im portant one, consequently all the di rectors a:e earnestly requested to be present. President Isaacson will submit a constitution, which, with probably none or a few alterations, will bo approved and adopted. Meveral protest which will lnolve the technical part of the gama will be brought up by various manager. v Ueorare Kalcoaer, Gone, but not forgotten, I th case of George ("Shanty") Falconer. Although George' will never decorate a baa ball diamond again, nevertheless, -most of th local bae ball manipulator, especially the ones who knew him personally will remember him until their hair la tinged with gray and moat of them until they Join Oeorge a inhabitant of th happy hunting ground. Many of th lo cal contingent laid off last Sunday In re spect tor Oeorge and the balance put on the soft pedal during th funeral services. Georg wa a player who will be Ions remembered even by the who wer slightly acquainted with him, because during a gam he would Invariably maJte some comical base ball remark that would attract th attention of the fan. He waa a clean, modest and efficient amateur base ball player and eould hav easily graduated from th sandlots If he so desired, but Oeorge had a good trad and he didn't car to take on the trial and tribulation associated with making good In the salaried army. With "Shanty" passing over th horn platter for th final trip, th local can account for three the Supreme Maatar called la about a year, namely, Charle ("Mickey") Barrett, Mike Dlneen and Oeorge ("Shanty") Falconer. ftataraay Leasae. At laat th Saturday class "A" league is on a firm footing and doing business at th old stand. They decided only to hav six team Instead Of eight Last ear this leagu had tesi trouble than any of the other. They never bothered th board of director with their troubles, but settled all their difference between themselves. Th following team will fight for the pennant, namely: Armour, Alamltoa, City Hall, Hotel Castle, M. H. Pmlth 4 Co. and Midland Glass A Paint Co, -Last season th Armour won th championship and they expect to duplicate thla season, but they will find it a starchy proposition. Dlasaoad Das.

Menko, sport writer, say In an Interview today, that there are two reason why Phlnny Royle of Lowell, Mass., became a prUa fighter. One 1 because his parents hitched the nam of Phlnny onto him; th other Is an offer of 15 that lured htm Into bis first ring engagement. ' Th parent of this youth thought Phlnny wa a very pretty monicker to bang on to their-boy. The boyhood ac quaintance of Phlnny thought It very pretty too. In fact thought it too pretty for a boy and called It owner a "sissy" that I they called him a "sissy" onco lust once, and, when the fight was over they too decided that Phlnny wa a good nam for ny boy to wear. So It waa hi nam and the flstio experience that brought Phlnny to hi good local repu tation as some bare knuckle bruiser. Then on his nineteenth birthday ha wa given a ticket to a prlie fight by a friend. A tough young boy- named "Eyke" Evan waa slated to box a Bos ton boy. But th bean-eater did not show up, and because th manager of fered 15 to anyone who would stand up to Evans for a few rounds, Phlnny got busy - and during th first round ended the fight with on hard smash on Evans' Jaw. That la two year ago, and since then Phlnny has arisen to such height In the feather-weight division, that with another six months' experience he will dethrone Johnny Kllbane If Johnny Kllbane will give him a fight The Hypodermic Needle :By r, a ititu: n a ZJ S3 nt 22 31 33 24 IS 27 24 2rt 27- li! : 18 13 2S 10 re.

Still, a I said before. It wa quite a cold day and none of th other women had on new suit, so I didn't car much. But I had a real good Urn. We , dis cussed French knots, p:oa and embroid ery and my friend showed, ro a .new stitch and I'm' going to try It on a table cover, v, - ..... , Omaha ha lot better player than To peka. Our pitcher wa much better look ing and h didn't chew tobacco. I think chewing tobacco la trrtbly vulgar. The Topeka pitcher acted Just Ilk a man. He Invariably would run- his hands -in th dirt and then wipe them oft on his ttloe, clean uniform.. If I were manager 1 would discipline-him severely. - Our other-players' -r also much bet ter. There Isn't a good looking man on th Topeka team and they ' all talked so much. I couldn't understand a word tbey said, either. And they knocked th ball at al) of - th Omaha player and very time they got the ball and put thero out. They should , hav.' bit ' th ball so nut place els like our player did and then they wouldn't have got put out. The umpire wa awfully por Lot of tlm Omaha would lilt, (h ball In th air and on of th Topeka player would catch it only . after the . Omaha . player bad reached first base. Ar.d still he called them out. I think he waa cheating for Topeka. Another thing I didn't like about th Topeka player. Alwaya when they were at bat a player stood at each corner of the field and had an awful lot to say. I don't know what they had to do with th game they didn't do - anything except talk. The sporting editor said they wer coachers who wer then to tell th run ners what to do, but I don't see how the runners understood a word, because they didn't talk In English. All they aald was something like "Ataboy." "Bumping on that old pill." "Tie into on and lace It over the hospital" and "Look 'em over, boy; look 'em over." If I wer the um pire I wouldn't let them talk that way a( all. We bought some soda pop and th boy didn't give u a glass or anything. 1 saw some other people had straws, so I think the boy cheated ma. ' I aaw a woman with the most scan dalous outfit A gray hat that was pos itively out of. place at a ball gam and a gown that was a fright. And ah kept looking . around . and changing her seat so that everybody . eould . look at her. Such a bra sen creature I never aaw. I wouldn't, be seen In such a gown as she had on. ': Our-catcher .was the best hitter. It I were manager I would hav him bat all the tlme because he la so much better than the other. For some reason or other they didn't play the whole game. I know- nine In ning la th gam and th score board ha a place for nine Innings, but they didn't play. Only halt of the ninth In n'ng was played and then the player picked up their bat and left. I guess the umpire must have called the game. I asked th sporting editor snd he said the umpire had a date. I don't think an umpire should let hi pleasure Interfere with- bus mess. I never have date when I should be working. I asked the ' sporting editor who won th gam and he aald that th Olanta did. I gues the Qlants.muat b a nam for Topeka, I know they don't call the Omaha players that Still, J don't see why they, should call .th Topeka player Giants; they aren't very big. I think they're rather little. Narveson.- Lin 7 H N 10 1 I . 1000 Oeyer. S. C I 36 80 13 U J . 1.O00 'Clunn. Top 6 32 14 8 31 8 . LOW I Mogridge. D.
