TED LEWIS VICTIM
Bellevue College Foot Ball Squad for 1916
OF UNFEELING FATE
English Battler Goes to Buenos
Ayres and Runs Into
' . Fine Flivver.
WANTS TO FIGHT DABCY
By RINGSIDE. -
New York, Sept, 23. Gershoh
Mendeloff is on the verge of despera-
tion. It. it .hard to conceive anyone
yy ttiat name working himself into
such a belligerent mood; jo
modify the opening sentence by say
ing that Ted-Kid Lewis is on the
verge of desperation. That sounds
better.- , .
Ted-Kid has every reason to
sour at the world in general and
South American ' in particular. The
fighting : Englishman has spent the
last three months traveling to and
from Buenos Ayres for the purpose
of establishing a firmer claim to the
welterweight championship by defeat
ing Albert Badoud, the French chanv
pion, there. : He was to ernraee in
one other fight below the equator.
before returning to good old New
. York. .
The supposed fistic carnival
Bnenos . Ayres- fizzled " out; Lewis
didn't fight at all; .he practically
wasted three, months and lost over
850,000 in ring engagements there. H
is now mtmaut this oort: ii due in
few dayst-Js it arty -wonder Ted-Kid
, Lewis it sou? at the world in general
' and South America in particular?
Something was said about Lewis
being on the verge of desperation.
You surely wilt consider him so after
. perusing the gist of his letter to the
, writer Irom Buenos Ayres.
Wanta to Fight Darcy.
. Briefly it is this: He wants to fight
Lea Darcy, the Australian marvel, for
the middleweight championship of the
world. Lewis says he has already
uisposea oi uarcy s otner formidable
, rival Mike Gibbons and so he has.
Also, that he is entitled to net whack
at the antipodean by virtue of his vie
tory over Gibbons. Lewis is willing
to- waive 'all weight stipulations so
long as uarcy is anywnere near the
jou-pound mark the day of the battle.
Lewia surely must be desperate
after traveling so many thousands of
miles for a chance at one title and
miss it he is ready to travel many
mciFc inousana mnes tor a champion
ship bout in another class. Lewis
aoes not invite Darcy to this coun
try, but !s willing to beard the lion in
nis oen, as it were, by going to Aus.
tralia and battling Darcy on his home
ncain. , ,
Compare this to the stand of the
inner American pugilists WHO are
eligible to tight Darcy. Gibbons ap
, parently does not want to fight the
Australian under any circumstances,
while Jack Dillon says he may fight
Darcy, if the latter were to come to
uiif country. . . ,
f Like Old School.
The latest -proposal Of Lewis
muiuca inc. contention ot nis man
ager, Jimmy Johnston, that Ted.Kirl
is the only fighter in the game today
that bears any resemblance to any
vi;uic uiu regime oi ine ring wnen a
fighter fought. We can supplement
that statement by saying that Lewis
i ursi since tne aays ot joe Wol
Cott and Charley Mitchel who, though
legitimate welterweights,' were ever
feady to battle middleweight and
light heavyweights.
Can . you imagine Freddy Welsh,
weighing 1J5 pounds, taking a chance
Witfi jany one scaling - five or six
pounas morer it tnis were the case,
the same Ted-Kid Lewis, who is now
shooting af the light heavyweights,
would be' Willing to come down to
nw. Poundage, and take on the clever
Mr. Welsh for a twenty-round soiree.
.' Lewis' weight will ever remain one
61, th ring's, greatest mysteries. One
day Ht is ready to battle lightweights
at .their own poundage; the next he
Is hrepared to engage welters; the day
following , he consents to divide the
time With middleweighls, and again,
wu?n nc gcia on tne verge ot des
peration, as he now is, he wants to
igni any ngntweignt in the world,
ut'X he is,, a ring-snomoly.

matter oi.iact, lea-Kid first com
manded attention from that part of

podes, and cleaned up whatever light

blacWmith.r'' Lewis does not . enter
tain nopes oi Knocking out Darcy, for
this feat could finr
by. such sturdy hitter as Eddie Mc-
uoony, jett smith, K. O. Brown, the
Greek, and other reputed American
sluggers. Darcy has flattened Mc-
uoorty twice tor the full count, and
hat whipped Smith, Brown and Jim
my Clabby (twice)i in addition to tak
ing the measure of every 'other
American to face him. -, , :. . -,
. But Ted.Kid is a daring youth and
will go miles out of his way to im
press a point - After his experience
ill' Buenos Ayres he evidently cares
little what happens to him. .
However, before embarking for
Australia (should thacome to pass),
Lewia would like to have Jack Brit
ton engage him in a twenty-round
joust. Ted-Kid has an old score to
settle with the Chicago dancing
master and he will not rest easy until
he has wiped out the stigma of losing
a point decision jp Britton. Prior
to that occurrence, last spring, Lewis
had gained numerous undisputed ver
dicts over Britton. But he is still un
convinced as to the decision rendered
in their last meeting, and is willing
to forego any matches if Britton will
only consent to meet him in ring com
bat once more.
Coursing Meet Will Be
j Held in Omaha This Fall
, The second annual Omaha coursing
meeting will be held the second week
in .November. ; The local event will
follow closely upon the National Fu
turity stake meeting, which will be
held at Grand Island hv October and
the best kennels in the country will
hs enter here. Omaha was given
its first taste of coursing last Decem
ber and it proved popular.

It cost Barney Drevfuss $5,000 to

The minister is the father of Car.
son Bigbee, now playing a fast game
in the Pirate infield. Two or three
years ago Dreyfuss scouts reported
that a youth named Bigbee had been
performing brilliantly for a college
team, along the Pacific slope. Bar

And then along came didi. who
said he wasn't verv keen about his
son playing professional base ball and
would Mr. Ureytuss please release

Several months ago Barney heard
about a kid phenom named Bigbee
playing in the Northwestern league.
Barney looked him tip and found it
was the very same Bigbee whom he
had released from the contract at
father's request.
Barney resigned Bigbee, but it cost
him $5,000 to get the player.

Coaches at rfellevue have ; an
nounced that only men who come out
regularly shall be permitted to sit at
either one of the two big training
tables in the college dining room.
As twenty-five men sit at, the two
tables, twenty-five men will grace
the field every night or be 'eternally
disgraced in the eyes of the pretty
auburn-haired girl waitresses.
The material comes from all over
the state, fellows with high school
records and fellows who never did
anything but debate or win a district
oratorical contest or something else
equally useless. Awkward fellows,
graceful fellows, lanky -fellows, squat
and dumpy fellows, all parade up and
down the gridiron about a hundred
times and then are sent around the
track six times before calling it a
day. ,
FIRST HIGH FOOT
BALL GAME PLAYED
Nebraska City Leads Way,
Playing Tecumseh and Get
ting Heady for Lincoln.
OTEEBS STABT IN A WEEK
By KARL LEE.
From thirty to fifty nigh schools
in Nebraska will start foot ball elev
ens toward a championship of some
kind this season.
Nebraska City opened the season
Friday with a name with Tecumseh
at Nebraska City.
The iraine was the
""t to be played in the state. Prof.
Cfcvana lB V .. 1 ...-
Stevens is coaching the Nebraska
City squad this year. His team is
captained by Lester Anderson, ' vet
eran halfback ot last year. Next
Saturday Lincoln will play its first
game with Steven's team.
The state championship fights will
center principally among some thirty
teams in tne western, . central , ana
eastern . districts. Review of the
progress of teams last year makes
tne tollowine 'classification available.
In the west, North Platte, Alliance,
uotnenDurg, Mccook, Scottsblutf,
Sidney, Coiad and the Curtis Agri
cultural school will compete for su
premacy. In the central division
Grand Island, Central City, Kearney,
xorK, Aurora, Hastings, U Weil, and
Minaen will probably prove most
prominent, while in the east thirteen
teams will command the limelight.
central, soutn and Commerce High
schools, Norfolk, Lincoln, Beatrice,
Osceola, Nebraska City, Ashland and
Tecumseh appear to be the most
probable-leaders.
, " Gothenburg Lotes Vets,
Beaver Citv started tn content th
championship of the southwest last
year, put having been easily defeated
oy vjotneniiurg, waived its claims.
Gothenburg produced a wonderful
team, but has lost several veterans.
Its first game with the Kearnev Nor.
mal second team October 6 will per
mit of speculation as to its standing
this year. Intense rivalry was manl
iest Detween Ked Cloud. Mason Citv
and Beaver City last year, adding zest
to the competition. McCook, Cozad
and the Curtis Aggies are probably
me strongest representations in this
section. The contest for the west
championship will ooen SeDtember
29, with a game between Alliance and
Scottsbluff.
Western teams have begun enthus
iastic preparations. Coach Ernie
Frank, famed Nebraska star, has
called his team to order at Scotts
bluff. The dope has it that he is lay
ing plans for the western chamoion-
ship. McCook, Senator Norris' town.
is also on the run. Coach Prince has
already laid plans for victories over
Mmden, the franklin academy and
the Curtis Agricultural college.
Beaver City has refused to nlav the
senator's town because of some dif
ferences. At Hebron, Coach H. C.
Meents began hostilities a week back
with thirty-nine men, five of whom
are veterans of last vear.
upstate, Norfolk has been out for
drill two weeks. Coach Walker is
going about his task with silent de
termination. Norfolk will meet the
Genoa Indians in the first game of
the season. O'Neil, another eleven
of the north that usually mounts high
in the contest for a district cham
pionship, has begun activities. v
Big Nine Teams at Work.
"Big Nine" teams are getting down
to a hard regular practice. Most of
the elevens will open schedules with
games September 30. The most promi
nent opening game it that, between
Beatrice and University Place at Uni
versity Place, September 30. Foot ball
was taken up for the first time at
the Wesleyan school last year, and
a good team placed in the field. At
York, Coach Dewey Harmon of uni
versity fame, is handling between
thirty and forty men daily. Pros
pects for a successful season are ex
cellent, it is said. Coach M. Y. Hard
ing is working with a fine bunch of
men at Grand Island. Little is known
of the third city prospects, but It is
conceded that they will be good, con
sidering the excellent record of last
year.

Six varsity men are all that are on
hand about whom to build a winning
team. Captain Racely and Gustafson
have each played three years. Erwin,
Picotte, Kinnier and Johns are vet
erans of one year's standing only. Al
len has decided not to come out for
foot ball because of a heavy schedule
Stewart has not yet returned. Wenke
and Farnham will not come back at
all.
Of the neW men little can be said
as yet, for,on!y light practice has so
tar Deen attempted, bhainholtz, frim
rose. Dunlao. Dauarhertv. Mincer.
Williams, Ebersole and Kemp are the
men who seem to be showing uo best.
The hardest place tfill is at quar
ter, wnere tne absence ot farnham
leaves a big hole. Mincer and Bush
have been tried out so far, but the
coaches say that the whole lineup is
proDiemeucai as yet.
MILLS HAS PLENTY
OF BEEF ON LINE
Weight Will Be One of Greatest
Assets of Creighton Eleven
This Season.
NEW MEN FBOM ALL OVER
The alumni who watched Creighton
practice Friday were elated. For
Tommy Mills now had a team a real
"team" to work with. The material
that had showed up even this early in
the season pleased immensely.
t-oacn miiis picked eleven men,
enough for a team, Friday afternoon
and devoted his entire time to coach
ing them. Of the eleven but three
Captain Plata, halfback; Stapleton,
guard, ana Morgan, tackle, were old
men.i The new material presented a
variety ot good toot ball, and the out
look was encourasrintt both from i
standpoint of weignt and of general
auiuiy. .
Sleuman Shows Well. -
Walter Sleuman. former fullback at
Hastings college, is showing up re-
niarKauiy well. Carl Cutes, veteran
in the field, with additional weight, is
more than making good.
Captain Plata and Marty Flannagan
will man the halfback jobs. Marty
showed up Thursday night. He is in
his old splendid condition and should
prove a powerful asset to the team.
Leo Hirschman, a small but powerful
individual of about 170 pounds, is also
making a try at a back job.
Three Out for Quarter.
At quarter, the one real weak point
in the entire Creighton machine, there
are three candidates of no mean abil
ity. Dewey Edson, a well built youth
from Pocatello, Idaho, who was a
popular star -among foot ball lights
of the northwest, is -Vying for the job.
Mulholland, the much heralded youth
from Spokane, bas not arrived yet,
but is said to have attained singular
prowess as quarter on the Spokane
college team, where he played last
year. Johnny Hale, end on last year's
line, is also said to be a candidate for
the job.
Big Cy Kamanskl, veteran center,
may be back at school before the end
of the season. Meanwhile, Burford,
veteran alternate, will be out in com
petition with the giant Erickson of
Beatrice.
The tackle and aruard nositinna nr
cause for much speculation. Morgan,
who win occupy one tackle position,
subbed in a good part of the games
last year. At the other airl rf th
line, Walter McCarthy, the tall, mas-
teriui youtn who comes from Hast
ings -college with Sleuman, is being
played.
Two old men. Tohnnv Hale amf nnt
Brennan, greet Coach Mills at the end
positions. Milla may take a no
te shift Hale to auarter.
and that wjll give a few of the re
cruits a chance. Phee, an auburn
haired youngster from Champ on col
lege (Wisconsin) is one of the light
weights who has turned out fnr thi
job. The youth haa the makings of
a whirlwind. Trevlin. the finite Hio-h
school star of Montana, is also mak
ing good, irevnn is heavier built
than Phee.
Big "Fouf" O'Connors, 190-pound
former foot ball light at the South
High school, who it attending the
night law school at the university, is
piaying guaro on tne line. Un the
other aide of the line, big Stapleton
of 211 pounds, is walking around with
a growl, while one Charlie Hawkins,
monster candidate guard of 210
pounds from urd, Neb., is. yet to
make his debut before the critical
eyes of the coach.

A "SA By FRED S
THE FOOT BALL COACH.
He carries a grouch and is gloomy,
miu nuwn api situs over nis lace,
He will fusa and he'll fret,
Just as if he had bet.
On a nag that was last in the race.
He acta like he'd lost his last friend
in the world,
A painful look crosses his brow,
He was happy, and gay,
Just a few days away.
But he looks like an inquest right
now.
No effort will bring forth a smile or
or a grin,
He clings to a scowl, that is all,
No, he's not tired of life.
Nor licked by the strife,
He's always like that in the fall.
We don't know whether Doc
Stewart, the new Husker coach,
is a gloomy cuss or not, but if
he hopes to held his own with the
late Ewoldt Stiehrn. he'll be drip
ping gobs of it within a week.
Aha, a Hunch.
This is going to be a lucky
year for Charles (Chick) Evans
Hughes.
By FREDDIE WELSH
He who fights,
And runs away,
WiUbeamiUr .
Jonaire some day.
Encore, Encore.
Eddie Foy, seated in a ringside
seat at the recent Leonard-Coni-frcy
fight, was beaned with a
bucket when the tilt ended in a
riot.
Johnny Evers had just come to
after forty-five minutes under the
either while the doc yanked his
recalcitrant tooth.
"You're tooth is out," an
nounced the doc.
"Out?" shrieked Johnny,'
"you're a liar, a burglar, a sec
ond-story worker, a horsethief,
a bum and a homer. 1 was safe
a mile and I can lick your whole
family."

THE LITTLE CUTUP.
He leads his men into the thick of
battle;
He storms the hostile trench with
out a fear;
He stops not though the enemy re
sists him,
But bravely waves his flag and calls
a cheer.
He plunges through where fighting
is the thickest.
Arid never stops to think of limb
or life,
But fights with unabating, fiendish
fury.
And glories in the wanton, gory
strife.
He does not wear the shoulder strap
of office,
But he leads the way with firm and
fighting jaw,
And he gaily waves his alma mater's
pennant
While defiantly he yells out, "Raw, ,
raw, raw.
"If wa were the manaftns editor," a Bo.
ton column conductor dreamed, "we'd tike to
sick the fight reporter of the .port desk
so-called function and set eomethlns
Ilka this"
Perclval Prunes entered the salon at B:4.
In his corner were Johnny Doollttle and
Silk Stockings Chollle Gush, Prunes was
dressed In black and wore a standup chok
er and a wrist watch. At 8:46 Mia. Molila
Cow entered the aalon from the south en
trance. She was accompanied with tha
veteran adviser, mother, who has grown
dtout.
At the rasp ot the fiddle, Perey drove
In on the south corner. Mother warned
her charge to take It easy and watt for an
opening. Perce swung for the dance card.
The first round was all Perce's. ' l
The second round waa fast and furlonaiA.
The principals trotted all around the ring,
first one backing, then 'the other. Perce
was showing the effect of the pace. His
choker was wilting and the wrist watoh
was hanging by on strap. Miss Mollis fin
ished the round fresh. Mother waa emlllng.
She realized that her charge had everything
to win and nothing to lose. The purse will
be the interest on 14,000,000.
More of the same.
Round 28 Mollie had Percy hanging td
the ropes. Mother was urging Motile to go
In and finish the Job. Mollie rushed him to
Ihe potted palm corner, feinted and played
tor his heart. Perce's seconds quit, realis
ing that the fight was over, and tossed
cream puff In the ring.
Dissatisfaction wae rife among the female
spectators. There Is a feeling among tha
set that tha fight wa. fixed.
