THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 29. 1917. 3 S It'll Be Tough on Krueger and Kilduff If World Series Is Called Off Curley Defends Willard's Managers; Two New Shortstops Deliver Goods Deposed Manager of Heavy weight Champ Quotes Prece dents Established by For. .jtner Titleholders. BY RINGSIDE. Chicago, July 28. Jack Curley, de posed manager of the heavyweight champion, Jess Willard, in defending the system whereby Willard's man agers got 40 per cent oj the boxer's receipts, quoted the following prece dents: John L. Sullivan paid Billy Madden, Al Smith and J. Dunn each, as he was handled by them in turn, SO per cent. James J. Corbett paid Billy Brady 50 per cent. Later, George Considine got 40 per cent of his ring and cafe earnings. Bob Fitzsimmons paid Martin lulian SO per cent. James J. Jefferies paid Billy De laney and Billy Brady SO per cent. Jack Johnson paid Sam Fitzpatrick 40 per cent, and in the Jeffries fight paid George Little 30 per cent. "Regarding my associations with Willard, I will go back to Jack John son's days, when the big black fought Choynski, George Gardner, Marvin Hart, Stanley Ketchel, Tommy Burns, Jim Jeffries, Jim Flynn, and then Willard," said CurleyV "Here is my sum-up, and I've always held to this, therefore, my association with Willard or my present trouble has nothing to do with it. All I said at the time of offering my excuse for matching Willard with Johnson was along this line: Klondike made Johnson quit. Risberg of White Sox .and Kopf of Cincy Prove to Be Finds of Season as In-fielders. By JACK VEIOCK. ew iork-, July ci. iwo new comers in the ranks of major league shortstops this year have made good with a capital G. They are Swede Risberg, who roams the short grass for the Chicago White Sox, and Billy Kopf, the new shortstopper of the rejuvenated Cin cinnati Reds. Risberg was greatly handicapped before the season was many days old with an injury that kept him out of the game for weeks, but once he got back into the harness and was able to play every day he buckled into the work with the bulldog tenacity of a son of the Norse countries, and the fans around Chicago are agreed that he will do. Billy Kopf started off the season like a whirlwind, and with the excep tion that his hitting has not been up to the strong pace at which he started he was hitting better than .350 for a time he is making a strong bid for honors in the National league. He deserves a world of credit when it is remembered that he has such rivals as Rabbit Maranville, Bancroft, Fletcher and Hornsby to compete with. Digging up a shortstop to take the plate of some star who has faded is one of the toughest tasks a major league scout or manager has to face. The average recruit who gets a trail has some vital weakness that soon sends him back to the minors from whence he came. Hp ftiav hp a flash "Gardner, then sick, went twenty as a fielder, but in about eight out of rounds with Johnson. "Hart beat him (referee's decision.) "Ketchel, a middleweight, floored him. "Johnson beat, Jeffries, but should have won in two rounds. Jeffries was a shell "Flynn lost standing on his feet, stopped through the overzealousness of a captain ot police who never be fore witnessed a ring match. I saw Johnson in a state of collapse for three hours after the mill. No Regard for Jack, "Therefore, you can see at a glance I had no high opinion of Johnson, and when I saw Willard stall through ten rounds with Carl Morris in New York I made up my mind that either one could beat Johnson if neither did any more than clinch with him "Of course, I am not in the game as a philanthropist, and I proceeded to look up the tighter to beat John' son. I found Morris' making money, tied up with the managers, and not likely to take a chance of wasting any time to chase Johnson tor a match. "I found Willard broke to the list cent; Jones, his manager, broke; both helpless financially, and no ring work in sight H. H. Frazee and I L. Webber offered to finance me in any. thing good, and we took up Willard. "First, it was $500 to bring Wil lard east, another $5UU to keep him self and family, $1,000 to send me to Europe to see Johson, $1,000 advance to Johnson to mike him feel the of fer was genuine, $1,000 more to get Johnson to South America, $1,000 to rush me to Cuba to try to induce Johnson to come to Mexico, etc. Be sides, a $32,000 guarantee had to be furnished Johnson before he would step into the ring. "Now, don't you think Webber and Frazee were entitled to 10 per cent each of Willard's earnings for three years?, The 10 per cent I received was not soft at the best, it amounted to not over $10,000 a year."

Yrs. 12 1 S 6 3 6 2 .2 2 3 every ten cases he can't hit the side of a barn with a brick. The shortstop who shows fielding ability and fairly strong hitting power is often counted out because he lacks brains, and so it goes. Endowed With Brains. In the cases of Risberg and Kopf, the White Sox and Reds have been fortunate to find two performers who are apparently well supplied with baseball brains, and, though neither is a terrific hitter, they more than make up for in the fielding, pegging and covering the keystone bag. When the season opened there were four new shortsops fighting for major league berths. With the two already mentioned were Laverne Fabrique of the Dodgers, and Chuck Ward of the Pirates. Fabrique was a wizard for a few weeks. Then he faded so suddenly that Uncle Wilbert Robinson's dream of his greatness was shattered completely, and Ivan Olson was sent back to his old berth. Ward, who is still making his fight to hold a regular berth with the Pirates, is still an experiment. Trapshooting Old Sport. Pete Carney, who can dig up more figures on trapshooting than the aver age base ball statistician can uncover, comes forth with the info that the game of trapshooting was born as far back as 1793, in England, when pigeon shooting was introduced by the land barons. Pigeon shooting in the old days was, of course, a forerunner of the modern sport with its traps, its clay birds and its costly repeating guns that enable the marksmen of today to knock off the "birds" almost as fast as they are released from the traps. But as Carney contends, the perri wigged gents with the old flintlocks were the real granddaddies of the modern sport, and they were respon sible for its being introduced in this country at Cincinnati in 1831, when wild pigeons served as targets.. The sport grew by leaps and bounds, even in those days, until it became neces sary to substitute something else for the live birds, and it remained for the marksmen of . Boston to introduce glass balls as targets. This was in 1866, and a trap for throwing the tar gets was imported from England. Improvements of balls and traps were introduced from time to time, until in 1880, George Ligowsky of Cincinnati invented clay pigeons and a trap to spring them which was a revelation to followers of shooting throughout the world. Today there are thousands upon thousands of trapshooters in the United States. Nearly every state in the union has its yearly tourneys and dozens of gun clubs devoted to the sport, and since the war engulfed Uncle Sam's domain, trapshooting has grown like a weed. It is one sport which has actually profited through the war. Shunted Back to the Minors, Collegian Joins Red Cross Red Gunkel, former University of Illinois star, who had a trial with Cleveland and was then sent to the minors, has joined the ambulance corps organized among Illinois stu dents and soon will be in France for service.

They are Christy Mathewson. Tim Thorpe, Earl Neale and Bill Kopf. While a student at Bucknell some years ago Matty was better known as t foot ball player than as a pitcher. He was a great line plunger and a wonderful drop kicker, and once en abled his team to triumph over the Navy with a field goal in the last few minutes of play. Thorpe, of course, was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, foot ball players that ever lived. Neale was a gridiron star with a mid-western college three or four years ago and earned the sobriquet of "Greaiy" by his ability to thread his way down the field "like a greased pig." Kopf played on the Fordham eleven a few years ago and made quite a name for himself. Gossip Heard Among the Amateur Warriors Amateur Games Today Talk of Old Days. They're always cracking about the good old days, these old-timers who cannot see much virtue in the pres ent time system of boxing, and in a good many cases their plaints are well founded. They always insist that the real sportsman, the boxer who enters the ring with full intent of winning by any and every legitimate means with in the Queensbury rules, shouldn't have his mind so much on the finan cial end of the game as the present day boxer does. "It's safety first with them all the time," remarked an oldtimer the other evening. "They have to get so much dough before they start and after that nothing matters to them. It's dough, dough, dough, all the time." Well, that's true. In the old days they always had a winner's and a loser's end and the winner usually was "meant." There was no chance to stall one's way through to victbry. This recalls the fact that it has been over ten years since we had an important lightweight battle that was for a winner's and a loser's end, as far as the money is concerned. This one was the memorable ba'ttle at To nopah, Nev., then a boom town in the new mining fields, between Joe Gans, then champion, and Kid Her man of this city. It took place on January 1, 1907.

Of this the winner was to get $12,000 and the loser -$8,000, the terms being made by Gans himself, who wanted no sure thing as far as the coin was con cerned. He not only gave Herman a chance at the title, but a chance at the big end of the money as well. The fact that Herman failed and was slaughtered in eight rounds niakej no difference to the story. Gans was always willing to take a chance at the title, but a chance at scH. The $20,000 never got out of Tono pah. Cans, is said to have left there with $600, Promoter Reilly's pool room getting the remainder of the purse. It is said, too, that much of Herman's money also was blown the iame way.

Ho spent most of tha season at Mollne, 111. This season the championship games will bo staged at the Luxus and Holmes parks. Edward Mlnikus. according to the predic tion of Dynamo Dennison, has overly made good at second base. He la -now punishing the pill like he used to. If Guy Hoi and wants to pitch this year ho will have to perform In class A. He tried to get by as a class B hurler. At than tne uranaois nioree Doy nave missed George Graham. When playing with the Brandels he always Injected barrels of pepper Into the bunch. If you can find a gamer loser tnan una- ley, the cheese of the Western Union, tn Metropolitan ieaguo will cheerfully dig up a gold medal. Old workhorse Walter Hamilton, ramous back Jn sixties, la playing phenomenal bail at pouch one for tne w. u. w. jne usea to e a terror to catcher! because ot his wonderful agility on the paths, but notwlth. standing tha fact that he has slowed up, he still is a dangerous gent arter ne reacnes corner one. At the middle bag Bert MnAndrewg Is surprising his friends the way he la walta- lng around that station. Me is nooxea up with the Te-Be-Ces. Last Sunday he looked exceptionally eweet with tha biff wood. Young Hubatka Is now pitching auperb ball for the Trimble Bros. He collects ten or more strike-outs every game. King, "manager of the Trimble Bros., slta on the throne like a regular king and he has his gang trained so it follows hit in structions without a balk. That new Greater Omaha leaguer tagged Miller did excellent work behind the stick for the Armours against Melady Mavericks. Now Waltnr Overman is holding down cushion two for the W. O. W. In a faultless .manner. Hts promotion came about be cause of the forced departure of Hollander. In the Greater Omaha league Bill' Fox Is gilding by like a Hank O'Day handling the Indicator. , At last Marty Flanagan has found a team which sulta his taste. He has played two consecutive games with the W. O. W. Two of the Greater Omaha league ktnkers performed in fast company last 8unday. Potach twirled for the Brandela and Peter McQuIre kinked 'em for Pa Rourke. Frank Woodruff of the Brandels Btorea Is still on the hospital Hat and It la a two to one shot he will not don the spanglea today. With Rasmus and Farley twirling gilt edge ball, the Stags will look real sugary during the championship fight. Outside of the first two chapters Colrerlrlo Adams of the Te-Be-Ce twirled gilt Odge ball acainst the C. B. DeVal Victors. With Manager Johnny Hazen on the shelf for the balance ot the season the Holmes White Sox will be crippled somewhat. For the W. H. Newsboys Ralph Spellman has proven o be a gold brick with, the slapstick, especially In the pinches. The warm corner la guardd m an up-to date fashion by Skomal for the Sample Harts. Back of the crockery Delehanty ta per forming like a big show artist for tha Sam Die-Harts. Since thtrowing up the reins as king of tho Sample-Harts Holland has not signed up with any other band. Last Sunday Foster Jacobs was the cheese with the big stick for the Stags. He cor nered three safe blowa. The only kit registered by the Krajlceks agalnat the Stags was collected by Bloemer, their star center fielder. A gink tagged Clark, working behind the platter for the Grain Exchange, la a doodle in that position. Base pilferers are afraid tojehance hfs speedy wing. At short the Grain Exchange has a peach erlno In Ward. The way he warda would-be hlta to the graveyard la a caution. Without any question of a doubt Hoffman, klnker for the Graham's, carta off the gold medal for being the fastest pitcher In the bis. II oozes 'em back at the catcher sometimes before he Is in position. On short the Sample-Harts havs a crack -erjack in Pesdlrtz. He covers an acre of ground, has a sura accurate peg and plcka 'em up like a regular Wagner. The Stage are especially anxious to book a few games out of town. Address Victor Lund, care Rose building, or telephone Tyler 763. At Shenandoah, Ta., Chris Lyck was the popular kid with the stick. He garnered four hlta out of flvs attempts. Matt McGrath and Edward Roben of the Brandela aqiiad executed a clever double play at a critical point during tha Bran-dels-Shenandoah fuss. For the Armours Weiss Corcoran was tha big noise with the bat during the Armour Melady Jangle. Ha was the only gent to corner a pair of hlta. Only three hlta were grabbed by the Ma lady Mavericks off of tbs offerings dished up by Andy Graves of the Armours. In the center garden the Grain Exchange has a reliable fly grabber In Heavy Hanson. He la also a speed merchant on the paths and excellent at bat outguessing the oppos ing slabster. At second last Sunday Chlperlno Bowley waltzed around that corner like a turkey with its roof off. He handled seven chances i without a mlscue. The Hmellns demonstrated their ability at Plattsmouth last Sunday when they J trimmed Plattsmouth by the score of t to 1. Stone, formerly champion slugger of the American league, failed to get a safe smash during the Brandels-Shenandoah Jamboree. Edward Mlnikus Is doing dandy work at the pivot station for Melady Mavericks. He gobbled up six chances last Sunday. With the bludgeon Llsmond anil Nystrum were tha belting children for the Bcacltns at Plattsmouth, Neb. Hays, sn Omaha youth, now twirling for Plattsmouth, saved his team from a shut out by a timely awat In the final chapter. The All-Stars are looking for trouble. For further Information address William Housky, 1807 Dorcaa, or telephone Douglas 1176. I The Middles recently organized from the Clarke and Omaha Crockery company learns are looking for games. ChII John Sullivan at Colfax 3557. Rasnleck, Peterson, Xswretson, Ferris and Fltaworth, teach copped two nils which helped the W. II. Newsboys add another tangle to their list last Sunday. Last Sunday John McDermott, chief curler for the W. H. Newsboy's struck out eleven and allowed only three hlta and captured the same number of hlta with the pole from the opposition. The Polish Merchant's need a few play res labeled class A, otherwise they will have to kick the burket. Mahoney la putting up a classy game at the initial bag for the Montclalres. He Is also a good hltsmlth. In the left patch Dennis O'Brien Is a regular go getter. Apparent hits have a difficult time eluding his paws. He has pulled many a phenomenal stab this sea son. ' On the hot corner Manuseo la the king be for the Murphy Did Its. Tou can't bust 'em too hard for this live wire and his wonderful arm oan check a speedy runner If he knocks the pill down. Cunningham, who used to be a Class A hurler, Is now holding! clown cushion one like a. regular Hal Chase for the Omaha Grain Exchange congregation. William Bloazles, vice president of the Omaha Amateur Base Ball association, la at preaent spending his vacation In Denver, Colo. Although Harry Wright fHlled to register with the class A base balllsts this year, he Is willing to play foot hall this fall. Bernard Probst, formerly with the Holmes White Sox, is now working at third base for the Rhanandnah (la.) base hallista. Last Sunday Pete Lyck of the Brandels bumped one that was easy good for the limit, but after It whirled over the center fielder's knowledge spot, it hit a rock and bounced back iln hla mitts and Lyck was halted at corner two. The Krajeclks, although barred from the municipal lots, are still members of the Omaha Amateur Base Ball association and can play In any of the enclosed parks. That struggle between the Brandels and Tennessee Rata billed tor Rourke park should be a corker. Arthur Moran Is whaling the pill to all corners of the lot for the Murphy Did Its and Is also fielding a nice game. Bob Uulnee, a class B player, formerly with the Omaha Bicycle Indians, has lined up with the Victors. Lyle Jones of the DeVols. aside from leading the club In hitting, is developing into a ratting aood backstop. The Victors will meet the league-leading Armours In a double header today and will go Into battle with the best wishes ot the Meladys. As a two-base hitter Pitcher Perry Van Wormer is loading the DeVols. In nearly every gnnie he drives a hot one against the boards for two bases. American League TEAM BATTING. ,G. AB. R. H. SH. SB.
