to 25. -
Kansas Cit, Mo., Feb. 17. (Spe
ial. Telegram.) Omaha Central high
basket ball team was defeated 54 to
25 here yesterday by the Kansas
City Central high quintet. Allthough
outclassed during the first half, the
Omaha five rallied in the second half
and prevented their opponents from
making the score any more over
whelmingly against them.
Neat basket tossing, good team
work, and sperid were the three es
sentials that spelled success 'for the
Kay See 'five. Although the Omaha
boys repeatedly worked the hall down
to their basket, they were unable to
put it through the hoop.
Duvall, the Kansas City captain,
made, almost half of his team's points.
An accurate tosser and a cool, speedy
player he was the star of the game.
Paynter, who fed the ball to Maxwell
for most of the Omaha counters, was
the best player' on Mulligan's team.
The Logan brothers at guard played
a hard game but were unable to pre
vent the whirlwind Missouri players
from putting the sphere through the
hoop.
Kay See Gets Jump.
The game started with the ball
passing between the Omaha players
but over the hoop. TheMissouri five
then took the lead and piled up 14
points in the first quarter to the three
that Maxwell made for Omaha. The
next ten minutes went hard for the
Omaha quintet which was unable to
check the constant scores of their
opponents. Score first halt, Kansas
City, 36; Omaha 7.
Omaha came back in the third
period with a style of playing that
reduced the margin two points. The
visitors fought hard and prevented
the local five, from having and such
ease as in the previous period. Rus
sell and Konecky went in for Smith
and T. Logan. Both teams madeN18
points during this period. Final score,
54 to 25 with the Kansas City five
victorious.
First Half is Slaughter.
Duval started the scoring early
with a free toss. Omaha exhibited
some pretty team work but the scor
ing machine failed to work, giving
their opponents a lead of eight points
before an Omaha score was made.
Maxwell's free toss and field goal
were the only scores of the visitors
during the "first ten minutes. After
a two minute intermission the slaugh
ter started that was responsible for
the large final score. Kansas City

Man Who "Makes Own Money" as
He Speeds It, Is Mystery to John .L.
Detroit, Feb. 16. The .death of
John L. Sullivan has'recalled a num
ber of vivid incidents to old timers
among Detroit's sporting fraternity,
for this city used to be one of John
L.'s stamping grounds. . But of all
the stories of the great pugilist's do
ings in Detroit, the favorite seems to
be the one which recounts his en
counter with a "bantam."
More than two decades ago there
lived at Saginaw, Mich., a mite of a
man who was popularly known as
"Little 'Jake." He was president of
a bank and at one time was reputed
to be wealthy, although in later years
he was reduced almost to poverty.
"Little Jake" was widely known, as
a keen follower of sport events, a
lover of fair play and a student of the
art of spectacular self-advertising.
In Detroit one day he met Sulli
van in the bar room of the famous
Russell house, since destroyed. Sulli
van, with a crowd around hfm, was
roaring a welcome to his friends.
"Little Jake" stepped into the bar
room unnoticed.
John L. threw a $50-bill on the
bar and, in a booming voice, urged
those about him to "drink it up." It

did hot take long for the supplies to
disappear and just, when the party
was about to break up, a piping voice,
coming seemingly from the floor,
squeaked:
"Now everybody, including Sullivan,
must have a drink on me."
, Sullivan looked down at the mid
get and smiled. Everybody drank.
Then "Little Jake" took a sheet of
currency from his pocket. The money
was. fresh from the mint and the
shee contained four $100 bills.
"Little Jake" whipped out his foun
tain pen, signed one of the bills, cut
it from the sheet jpnd tossed it on
the bar. . '
"Now, go as far as you like," he
said.
Sullivan seemed dazed. The feat
was new to him. He picked "Little
Jake" up and deposited him on the
bar.
"Now, little fellow, tell me how you
can make money and why, I can't."
The Saginaw mite explained that it
was the privilege of a national bank
president to sign bank notes, thus put
ting the money into circulation, and
the fighter left the hotel in a thought

PEP AND FUN ARE
PLENTY IN SHOW.
0VERATGAYETY
Irene Meara.and' Harry Cooper
share honors as the two livest wires
in "The Sporting Widows," which
opened' a week's stay at the Gayety
yesterday. Irene is a little blonde
queen, chock full of pep and laughter
and fun. Harry is big and dark with
a simple smile 'and a peculiarly clean
and pleasing brand of humor all
through the show. Jimraie Savo, first
assistant comedian, looks as ridiculous
as -Cooper and besides, his simple
actions, he has a whole bag of tricks
in the way of tumbling and juggling
which he slips in impromptu,, ranging
from the catching of a lighted match
in his mouth to the balancing of a 90
foot stepladder on his chin while the
women of the chorus dance appre
hensively but safely about arouna him.
Jack Strouse, author of the words
and music, has an important character
part in the show and does it. well,
whether he is a Turk, Italian or Jap.
Drena Mack, who is possessed of a
good soprano voice, adds much to the
excellence. of the show.
Some of the scenes are on a large
scale and executed masterfully. There
is a gVand patriotic scene which has
a novel effect. At a signal and within
a second of time a magnificent flag is
formed almost as big as the stage,
parts of the flag being held up by
members of the chorus.
Refutes Charge That Omaha
'Pawnshops Lure Minors
Isidore Friedman, clothier and

Bennie Thomas published If. an even
ing paper to the effect that Omaha
pawnshops ( "Sell firearms to minors.
"I am a trustee of the Omaha
Second Hand Clothing and Jewelry
society," said Mr. Friedman. "I
have been in the business in Omaha
for the last 24 years and in justice to
myself and other members of the
association I feel that our position
should stand corrected in the eyes of
the public.
"We never sell firearms or any
other article to minors unless they
are accompanied by their parents or
guardian. Neither do we purchase
second' hand good that they offer
tor sale, frequently they say they
will go to other stores where they
can make purchases and we advise
them to go knowing they will be
treated in the same manner in all
stores in Omaha under agreement of
the association. .
"Elder persons buy from us and
sell to minors and we are blamed
unjustly. Our window displays of
slingshots, brass knucks and billies
and Revolvers are for sale to watch
men, street car conductors and motor
men who need them for protection
and are never sold to minors."
