CAP WAGNER TOLD TO BEAT IT
K
NEW YORK. Sept. U. New Tork held
ft larger gathering of ring enthusiasts
today than at any time since boxii.g
flourished her under the Horton law. 'llu
ten-round bout between Packey McFar
land or Chicago and Mike Gibbon of St.
Paul tonight ha brought spectators from
all over the country. Nearly tvO admirers
of McFarland arrived today from Chi
cago on a special train.
The Brighton Beach motordrome, where
the fight will take place, has a seating
capacity of 60,000 and while the pro
moters do not expect to fill It, they are
confident that the gate receipts will more
than equal the purse of (32,600.
Tha money will be divided. $17,600 to
McFarland and $15,000 to Gibbons. It Is
the richest stake offered at a ring con
test In some time.
McFarland last fleht was on December
a HIS, a ten-round, no-declslon bout with
Jack Brltton of Milwaukee. The fact that
be has not taken part In a battle for
nearly two years placed him sllgh.ly be
low Gibbons in the betting today. Gib
bons' last appearance In the ring was In
Brooklyn on May SI, 1916, when he fought
ten rounds with Soldier Bartfleld, no ae
ctston. At I o'clock this afternoon Paeky Mc
Farland and Mike Gibbons weighed in at
the Brighton Beach baths, about 2o0 ya.ds
away from the ring in which they arc
to meet tonight. Both fighters touched
the beam at 147 and seemed to be In per
fect condition, although McFarland's
features seemed somewhat drawn, duo to
hard training.
McFarland greeted Gibbons with a
tmtle after he had left the scales, then
theyshook hands.
"I wish you luck," remarked Packey.
"I hope you won't beat me."

Hurlers Battle is
BiUed for Today
When the Brown Park Merchants and
Dtexol Shoe company tiama lock horns
today for tha championship of class B
and the privilege of batting the St. Paul
champs In the intercity series, amateur
base ball fans look for a pitchers battle
between Frank Potach and Tommy Qur
rett. These lads are about the two beet
twlrlcrs In class B circles and If their
teams stand up behind them one of the
neatest and niftiest pitchers battles ever
staged on the local sandlots will be the
result.
Potach la a smoke-ball artist He has
a wor d of steam, good oontrol and a
nice variety ef curves. While not a slow
ba'l pitcher, Ournett does not depend on
speed. He has a clever collection of
twisters which he mixes up with be
wildering variety and depends a great
deal on fooling the batsman. .

VANDERBECK WINS
THE WOMAN'S TITLE
Philadelphian Defeats Mri. Gavin at
Onwentsia Golf Champion
ship Play.
LARGE GALLERY SEES MATCH
CHICAGO, Sept It Mrs. C. B. Van
derbeck of 1'hlladelph a, eastern Kolf
champion, today won the championship
of America at Onwentsia by defeating
Mrs. W. A. Gavin of England, S and J.
The contest for the t.tlo toduy was not
as strenuous as the semi-final round Mrs.
Vanderbeck . won yesterday from Miss
Atexa Stirling, southern champion, but
the eastern champion played good gvdf.
approximating a 92 as against a probable
H for the Briton.
The International nature of the strug
gle drew a large gallery, lirs. Vander
beck, who had twice broken the course
record since the tournament began on
Monday, did not give her supporters any
cause for nervousness except on the
fourteenth hole, where she fooxlcd a
mashie sihot and barely escaped a pit
Mrs. Vanderbeck has been a favorite
with many since she led tho qualifiers
for the 6.435-yard oourse.
The champion became prime favorite
yesterday alter she had won a 22-hole
victory over Miss Stirling of Atlanta,
despite the fact that the southern cham
pion overhauled her at the eighteenth hole
and had better chances on each of the
four extra ones. The victor's golf was
not so near par today, although she
equalled porfect figures for women on
ten of the sixteen holes hu played.
Mrs. Gavin, the runner up, has not at
any time during the meet played as good
golf as her American conquerer, but she
has been consistent She qualified with
M, eleven strokes higher than Mrs. Van- I
derbeck. The big surprise furnished hy
the Briton was her defeat In the third
round of Eleanor Allen of Boston, who
had eliminated Mrs. J. V. Hurd (Dorothy
Campbell), of Pittsburgh, 4 and 2. She
also furnished an upset In prognostica
tions yesterday la defeating Ernestine
Pearoe.
The play today was beneath cloudy skies
and on rather' slew greens. -Drive wer
not very" long, but -Mrs. Vfnderbeek hafi
the tulvanjjpce of the long game almost
very holf. The approaching waa a
trifle In favor of the Philadelphian also,
but the putting waa about even, no speo
tacular holing shots rewarding the ef
forts of either player. The cards:

GOOD MATERIAL IN THE RAW
HASTINGS, Sept. 11 -(Special. )-An In
novation In Nebraska college foot ball
has been arranged for Doano by Coach
Schissler In the scheduling of two prac
tice games with the Oornhuskers, one to
be played at Crete and the othor to be
played on Nebraska field.
Schlnslcr, who Is a former member of
the University of Nebraska squad, this
week secured Coach Stlehm's promise
of the two games, with the understanding
that they be made mid-week perform
ances. Each will come )uat before one
of the home team's most Important
games, the plan being to give the de
fending eleven etlffer preparatory work
than would be possible with the seoond
eleven.
Ilant for Material.
Since midsummer Coach Schissler, now
all-year athletic director at Doane, ha
been on the hunt for material, with the
result that a number of students have
enrolled who give promise of materially
strengthening the gridiron squad. Three
especially strong men will go to Doane
from here. They are: Dan Schllok, ex
Hastings college and Hastings High
school halfback; Whltehouse, for two
years quarterback on the Hastings High
school team and quarter on the AH
Westenr Nebraska team; and Fred Klein,
for two years half back on the Hast
ings High school team and captain of
tha high school basket ball team. Coach
Schissler Is gratified over tl.e entrance
of these three men, for he hus seen them
work under his own direction here and
knows what they can do.
Moat Mttrr'n! l (rrr,
There will be an abundance of good
foot bpll material at Doane, but Schis
sler says the outlook Is uncertain be
cause most of It Is green in college style
o( play. Captain Johnson and seven vet
erans are returning, however, and they,
with other men of known college calltr,
make the p ospects very promising. The
coach will go to Crete on Sunday and
hla wife will come a week later. They
will muke their home In that city.
Racket ball will be Introduced at Doane
arrangements having been made to Use
the new Tel Jed Hokol hall for Indoui'

horsemen during the last few days the
publication of the splendid entry list so
cured by the association.
These two horses which for half a
doten races this season have been fight

their respective claims to mastership,
will contest In Omaha for a purse of
II. 100. of which fono will be provided by
the fair society. The winner Is to take
the whole purse. The race will be held
one week from next Wednesday,

to force the race, since We game U to

It's aa Even Break.
The best tip on this raoe to date Is
that It Is as near an even break as a
horse race ever gets to be, unless track
conditions or loss of form on the part of
one of the horses should alter the sit
uation. The fair association received 12 en

Huntley Offers to
Shoot One Thousand
Targets in One Day
According to a report from Chicago Saw
A. Huntley, the crack Omaha trap shot
offered to shoot any man. amateur oi
professional. In the United States at 1,000
targets In one day for 11.000. There were
no takers, although Martin MvVoy of the
New York Athletic club, endeavored to
find a suitable man with the intention of
backing him against the Omaha star. At
last reports he has still to locate the
proper Individual.
Such a match would be one of tha
blrgest trap shooting events at aged la
many moons. Two hundred target la
pretty good shooting for one day even to
a man who Is used to It let alone 1.000
targets. It s not thought likely anybody
will be willing to take a chance with
Huntley on such a proposition.
