Gibbons-O'Dowd Title Match
In Prospect as Champion
Returns from Army Service
Middleweight Champion Is With Army of Occupation.
Earl Caddock, Wrestling Title Holder, Is Also
"Over There". Sport World Must Await Their
Return.
JACKSON HERE:
PREDICTS FLAG
FOR OMAHA CLU
University of Nebraska Freshman Basket Ball Team
By "KID" GRAVES.
Vhile Tex Rickard is holding the
pugilistic spotlight on his nimble
form just at present, there are other
pugilistic matters clamoring for at
tention and the ( wrestling game is
hovering around the stage entrance.
The heavyweight championship bat
tle of July 4 will continue to hold
the attention of the sport world
- until it has passed into history, but
-.when the squabble is over and Jack
Jiempspy has had his try for the
title, the afore-mentioned subjects
will come in for their share of the
glory.
The main events of both wrest
ling and boxing, outside of the
heavyweight affair, of course, must
await the return of the champions
from France. Earl Caddock. the mat
champion, and MikeXO'Dowd, the
middleweight boxing title holder, are
still in France, and nothing definite
is known as to the date of their re
turn. Gene Melady is certain that
Caddock will consent to continue in
the wrestling game and defend his
title against any and all the worthy
challengers. 'If he does, a heavy
weight champion wrestling match
will hold the interest of sport lovers
for a time, though just who Cad
dock's opponent will be, no one
knows just yet.
Middleweight Title Bout Next.
Following the Willard-Dempsey
match, the next big pugilistic affair
will probably be a middleweight
championship scrap between O'Dowd
and his fampus fellow townsman.
Mike Gibbons. Mike has signified
his willingness to meet O'Dowd in
a long bout for the title and it is
likely that when champion Mike gets
back from the land of the lilies, such
a match will be arranged. A bout
between the two Mikes would arouse
world-wide interest and probably
draw almost as well as the Willard-
Dempsey bout. Realizing this, it is
unlikely that O'Dowd would over
look a chance for grabbing o'j the
coin he could get out of such bout
as this, for he has never been a great
money-maker in the boxing game.
Before the war, O'Dowd never
had a wonderful reputatiou, at least
not so wonderful that he could get
any large purses-, for his scraps.
Even in the affair in which he won
the title, he didn't get any more than
any ordinary wind-up fighter would
get. The war broke out before he
was able to get a start after any
big money, consequently, jQ'Dowd is
the poorest, financially, of all cham
pions. Mike has evidently seen an
S opportunity to make his champion
ship title pay him something, for
he has issued a challenge to meet
Georges Carpentier, the French
heavyweight champion. Even if he
lost a decision to the Frenchman, it
is unlikely that he would lose the
title, for Carpentier, though a small
man for a heavyweight title holder,
is still considerably over a middle
( wejght poundage.
O'Dowd Good Attraction.
Winning or losing in a bout with
Carpentier, O'Dowd would still be a
great attraction in a bout with Gib-
ix . . .... . V
"I IKE G1BB0N5
bons. In a limited affair, it would
result in Gibbons' favor, but over
a long route, 20 rounds or to a fin
ish, the result cannot be forecasted,
for Gibbons has never been tested
over a route longer than 10 rounds,
over which distance he easily out
classes the world. If Gibbons can
travel over 20 rounds in the same
manner that he does in a 10-rotind
canter, there is little doubt but that
he would wear the middleweight
crown after an O'Dowd meeting.
But whether he can or not is the
question that would draw the fans
to see such a bout.
Admittedly a ' harder hitter,
O'Dowd's chances of winning would
be brighter, the longer the bout
went. At that. Gibbons cannot be
said to have no punch at all. He
had spilled the beans for such fel
lows as Frank Mantell, Young Mike
Donovan, Young A'Hearn. Jimmy
Howard, Kid Ferns and Bob Mc
Allister. Elusive Mike might again
surprise everyone' and tonole the
champion from his throne to listen
to the fateful 10-second toll. You
can't tell a thing about this fellow
Gibbons. He might uncork a wal
lop when it is least expected.

Defeat of the strong South High
Community Center team by Clifton
Hill Thursday night was one of the
biggest surprises of the season in
the Municipal Basket "B 11 league.
Weakened by the absence of several
of their best players, the South Side
lads were vanquished for the second
time this season, and as a result the
undefeated Central Park five is now
a little closer to the championship.
Castelar's victory over Dundee
was another surprise, as the Dundee
team is accounted one of the strong
est in the league. The Castelar
team is develooinir one of the best
forwards in the city in Alfred El-
sasser, who is playing his second
year of basket ball. Elsasser made
10 of the 14 points scored by his
team last Wednesday, .tossing five
field goals.

Rourke's Manager Arrived
Friday; Trades Pending for
New Infielders; Has Three
Young Catchers Signed.
Manager Bill Jackson of " the
Rourkes was a caller in The Bee
sports department yesterday and
gave an outline of his early plans
for the Western league base ball
season. Jackson says he expects
(o have tf!e best team in the league
for Omaha. Ke predicts the flying
of the 1919 pennant from the Rourke
flag pole and games that will bring
the Omaha fans out in great num
bers. While the other Western
league clubs are building up fine ag
gregations, Bill thinks the team he
will have will be just a "leetle" bit
better than the rest.
The Rourke manager is trying to
land a couple of young pitchers for
his team for. this year, all of whom
show great promise. Cy Lingle, the
old backstop of the Omaha club, is
with the arnty in France and may
not be able to get here for the open
ing of the season, and Jackson ex
pects to have one of these new
etchers hold 'em while they wait
for Lingle to get home. George
Baker of Peoria, 111., is one of the
new ones, and though he has had
no great former experience, Jackson
says he has the goods and can de
liver. Another youngster he is
angling for is Paul Zahniser, with
the Columbus club of the Amercan
assocation last year. He has an
other last year catcher in Ralnh
Corderman that conies highly
recommended.
New Infield.
With the exception of Jackson at
first base, the Omaha club will have
an entire new infield. Jackson is
taking no chances with raw material
in the infield and has a couple of
trades pending for some experienced
infielders and a pitcher or two. The
announcement of the consummation
of these trades may be expected
within a few days.
In the outfield Shag Thompson
will be seen cavorting around again.
Thomson xlidn't report last year, but
he has seen the error of his wavs
and he's out of a job in the ship
yards anyway, so he will be on
hand to grab off the long ones this
season. Al Bashand will be in the
outer garden again and some new
outfielder will be secured to fill the
other outfield hole.
Manager Jackson announces that
any of the local semi-pro players
that want to work with the Western
league club will be welcome, and if
they show the proper ability some
of them may land jobs with the
Omaha team.

Notes From Sport -World
i ty Championship
Series for St. Louis
St. Louis, March 1. Although the
major league season will not set un
der way until April 23, St. Louis
base ball fans will get a glimpse of
their favorites on April 12, the date
agreed upon for opening the annual
spring series between the St. Louis
clubs of the American and National
leagues. --
Hexathlon Meet Results.
Forty-one athletes took part in
the contest this year. Omaha scored
3,209 points. Last year we scored
3,657 points; the lower record is ac
counted for by the fact that all of
our best athletes entered the army
last year, and only one of the last
year's champions has returned,
namely, Julius Festner. Julius Fest
ner is the all-around Hexathlon
champion this year having scored a
total of 377 points. The second
highest was .Howard Dennis, 337
points, and the third highest, D.
Schobidisky, 271 points.
The following were the records
in each event: 60-yd.' potato race,
Howard Dennid, 16 seconds; 220-yd.
potato race, Curtic Gault, 1:04; run
ning high jump, Ray Bruner, 5 feet
3 inches; fence vault, Julius Festner,
9 feet 11 inches; 12-pound shot put,
Julius Festner, 34 feet 5 inches.
C. Drew, last year's Hexathlon
diam with 4jJ6 poinls is still in the
army.
The local semi-pro base ball situ
ation is in as chaotic condition now
as when first mentioned, in fact, if
any different, worse. Earl Higgins,
president of the Greater Omaha
league, declares he is disgusted with
the attitude of some of the manag
ers, who appeared to favor a semi-pro
league at first and have now turned
around and want strictly amateur
base ball. Earl says the Bluffs teams
are the only ones in favor of the
semi-pro organization now, but he
has evidently forgotten that the Ar
mours have announced that they will
play semi-pro ball whether a league
is formed or not. lhe formation of-a
semi-pro league would benefit the
Class A players and also the Ama
teur Association and it is to be
hoped the managers can get together
on it.
It has been rumored that James J.
Corbett, former heavyweight cham
pion, would be selected to referee
the W'illard-Dempsey boxing match,
on July 4. Corbett should make an
excellent referee, as he has kept in a
touch with pugilistic affairs during
his travels as an actor and lecturei
and he has a thorough knowledge
of the rules of the game. The for
mer champion would make an ad
ditional attraction to an already
wonderful drawing card. Tames let-
fries was mentioned at one time as a
referee, but his time is taken up
with his business to such an ex-
tent that he has been out of touch
with ring affairs for some time, hav
ing taken no interest in them since
his dismal failure against Jack John
son. scrapper of a decade ago, who has
one glass eye, takes Johnson on
every once in a while and takes a
lacing, to the delight of the Span
iards, who think jt is great sport.
The commission form of govern
ing boxing and other athletic events
has proved satisfactory in most
places, but the city of Detroit goes
this method one better. They have
a board of censors in Detroit whose
duty it is to censor all boxing shows,
burlesque shows and movie films.
The censors are two detectives, and
they certainly have their hands full.
One or both of them must attend
every boxing show held in the city
and see the first night performance
of every burlesque troupe, and no
moving picture film may be seen in
Detroit until the censors pass upon
it. It is seemingly a good plan, for
no one complains about it. Ex
hibitors, players, boxers, . managers
and promoters all act upon the sug
gestions of the censors and there is
no friction, consequently there is
nothing rotten in Detroit
During the warm spell of January
the local golfers had plenty of prac
tice, but of late have had to stick
pretty close to the fireside, some
times at home and sometimes at the
J club. This story was told at one of
me goit clubs. An irascible goiter,
while playing with a clergyman on
a very warm day last summer, was
considerably annoyed by fleas, and
at length got desperate and vented
his feelings m a burst of decidedly
blasphemous language. The clergy
man remonstrated and pointed out
the advantages of self-control.
"See," he said, calmly, "there is a
fly on my forehead, but it does
not trouble me. By the exercise of
my self-control I can play my shot
without giving that fly a thought.
You see. it is now on the bridce of
my nose, but oh, h t It's a wasp!
When Barney Reilly gave up the
base ball spangles to go on the oper
atic stage, his friends thought he
was foolish, but the success he has
attained has shown them that he
knew what he was about Barney
has a beautiful baritone voice and
promises to rival McCormack in
popularity with the music lovers of
this country. He sings Italian and
Spanish ballads, but the sweet Irish
songs are the ones he makes his
hit with. Barney will sing at the
Brandeis theater this afternoon at 3
m.
A series of six games before the
regular opening of the season is
planned by Mayor lorn Fainveather
of Des Moines, owner of the Des
Moines, Western league club. He is
negotiiting with Pa Rourke for the
series, three games in Des Moines
and three in Omaha. This series,
.'f arranged wil'. give the fans of the
respective cities a line on the play
ing strength of the two teams be
fore the league season opens.

Sioux City Basket Ball
Fiv6 Loses to Central High
Sioux City, la.. March 1. (Soecial
Telegram.) Ability at basket shoot
ing and advantage in speed resulted
in a 22 to 13 yctory for the Central
Omaha High school basket ball
team in a game played wjth the
Sioux City High school squad here
tonight. The Omaha five scored at
the beginning of the contest and had
marked up enough points in the first
half to put them in the clear. The
first period of play ended with the
score 17 to 6 in favor of Omaha.
The Nebraskans took things easy
in the second haJf and made only
two field baskets, but holding the
home team in check.
Burman carried off the honors for
the Omaha team. He made six field
goals. Konechy at guard displayed a
good bit of speed and proved a star
on long shots. He made Omaha's
first two points on a field goal from
the center of the floor.
Omaha Nat, 14; Uni. Freshmen, 13.
Two men had to be taken off the
floor for staging a one-round pugi
listic encounter before the husky
Omaha National Bank five could
register a 14 to 13 victory over the
lanky University of Nebraska fresh
ies last night in a slow game on the
"Y" floor that ended with a cyclonic
finish. Coming from behind and
handicapped by a six-point lead the
freshmen staged a last-minute rally
that threatened to tie the score.
Austin Smith and Jungmeyer were
the mainstays of the visitors while
the money men formed a solid com
bination around the invincible Klep

of the Lincoln crew saw the floor
honors going to the locals he at
tempted to stage a ringed-circle en
gagement with himself and Bob

were taken out of the game after
referee Verne Moore called 'em
naughty boys.

BY HOPPE HERE
IN EXHIBITION
Former Champion and Title
Holder Give Wonder
ful Display of Their
Skill.
Willie Hoppe, champion of the
world at 18.2 balkline billiards, and
George Sutton, former title holder,
entertained at the Omaha Athletic
club with exhibitions at billiards at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon and 8
o'clock last night. Ater each game,
Hoppe gave an additional exhibition
of his prowess in the way of fancy
and difficult shots. The exhibitions
were held in the upstairs dining hall
and a number of ladies were present
at DOtn games.
In the afternoon game Hoppe won
the bank and took first shot. The
balls took some bad breaks in the
early part of the game and Hoppe
was away in the rear for six innings.
Sutton started with a creat lead of
45 in his first inning and 81 in the
second, but fell off after that. Hoppe
missed cleanly on his sixth inning,
but in the seventh he made a high
run of 119. His opponent only scored
Ihree on his spot and it proved his
last, for Hoppe needed 118 to eo out
and hemade them and the game was
over. Score by innings of the after
noon game was:
Mopps ....112116123 0110118
Total 174
Sutton ...46 81 22 81 14 3...
Total 300
In the evening game Hopne aeain
won the bank, but failed to make a
billiard on his shot. Sutton scored
20 on his first effort, but this was
Ins best of the game. The champion
then stepped out with a run of 160.
Sutton's first shot came to an eud
when he failed to bring the balls out
of balk and Hoppe lost his second
turn on the 16lst billiard the same
way. The score by innings of the
evening game:
HPP 0 160 81 53 81 2S
Total 30lt
Sutton 26 j. 6 j
Tl ...37
Hoppe executed the following
shots after each gam: Force drive
around the table. A three-cushion
masse on one rail. A three-cushion
masse around the table. A four
cushion masse in a corner. A four
cushion follow shot in a corner. A
three-cushion follow shot with re
verse english. A follow masse
around the table. A three-cushion
follow shot. A time masse shot in
which the white ball touched seven
cushions before the billiard was
made. A time kiss shot, the white
ball touching seven cushions and
kissing the ojher cue ball. The last
shot was a long masse shot along the
rail.
The dining, room was crowded at
both performances and at times the
applause was - positively deafening.
Hoppe made a wonderful impression
on every o;e present by his non
chalance while playing, together
with his easy grace and beautiful
