I I THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 1919. OMAHA 111 TEAMS i PLAN CAPTURE OF STATE TITLE South, Central and Commerce Teams Confident of Making Tourney nn All-Omaha Test oj Skill. . Will the state high school basket ball championship in Class A go to an Omaha high school quintet at the annual state tournament that starts at Lincoln tomorrow? Local opin ion is divided on the question, but the dopestcrs seem to agree that the title will either fall to an Omaha team or to Lincoln, which team has made a hahit of trouncing all the visitini: quintets, Lincoln, Omaha Centi'il, Omaha "South High and Omaha Commerce High are regard ed as tiie chief contestants for the rag, vvitii Newman Grove lurking in the background as a dark horse. Omaha Central again took its place in the championship race yes terday, when it was announced that Art I'ay liter, who has been ineli gible during most of the winter nights, has again found grace in the sight of his teacher and is bouncing the sphere under Coach Mulligan's eye. More cheery news comes from Captain Art Logan, who says he hopes to have his leg in shape to hop around after the Nebraska teams. Old Man Learning, how ever, is reported to have left Art Paynter's trail only to pursue an other unlucky member of the quin tet. The name of the unlucky flipper has not been disclosed. On a par with Coach. Mulligan's men are the proteges of Coach Jim Pattern who runs his men ragged on the South high floor. Taking the recent game from the fast Pack ;r five by a mere point after an ex tra period was played has raised the .fighting blood of the meat men who ire planning to meet tlrt-ir local rivals in the semi-finals. Coach Pat ton's men are all in good trfni. Seven of them will board the Lin :oln train tomorrow morning. Coach Evans' Commerce high team is plumb out of luck.

At New York and Chicago this new-type Six was the Show sensation. It will be so here. s' This is more than a new model, as new models go. It fixes new standards it marks a new era in this type of car. The more than 100 important improve ments add 50 to the strength, 75 to en durance, 25 to economy and 20 to com fort So many remarkable' advances give to this new car an exceptional interest. Come see it at the Show. A New Criterion This new Six marks an entirely new con ception of requirements in this class. ' It is based on the fact proved by years of experience that the Light Six type has been too light.- Its standards were not high enough. Competition in weight and price too often led to stinting. s It is built to meet the new-day expecta tions. Men nowadays buy cars to keep, and they look for permanence. It corrects in a radical way all the com mon deficiencies, and gives to the Mitchell a unique supremacy. A Two-Year Result Two years ago the Mitchell factory de ided on this new-type car. They employed Tiany specialists men of wide experience to aid in its creation. They have perfected the car in two years )ecause of the war-time lull. The factory ATas devoted to truck building, and these jngftieers and experts had a unique oppor ;unity. I to meet the strongest team on their side of the drawings.

But even if we dilute the account of the Leonard-Ritchie riot down to Beevo strength there is enough kick left to indicate that Ben was more thumped against than thumping. The east has created a lot of rough-eared chinbusters west, who were champs f. o. b. New York. But when they park their dogs in California their roughness disappears like rent going into a landlord's inside vest pocket. Leonard was supposed to have an epitaph in each mitt, but Wil lie acted as if he never read the newspapers. He hung a shanty on Ben's eyepiece and didn't charge him for the lumber. - - There nitist be something in the wonderful California climate that takes tht crease out of an eastern guy's trousers. Leonard isn't the only cuckoo who flat-wheeled 3,000 miles to the coast and arrived in San Fran cisco just in time to discover that he was at the wrong end of the trip. Ted Lewis battled Jack Britton more times than President Wilson's 14 points. Finally Ted jerked Britton away from the title and eased out to California, steamed up to a million. He invited Battling Ortega into the ring to iisten to a few sandman stories and the Bat hung him over t he hawsers like the week's .wash. When the referee labeled it a draw Jimmy Johnston hurdled trie ropes and kissed that nice, kind referee right on his benevolent chin. Ever since that date Jimmy has been telling the kids that there is a Santy Claus'. Seems that the kaiser ain't the only bird who tried to take in too much territory. 1 A sapp-who is champion of the world and fringes ought to be just as official in a branch ofiice as he is in the home factory. But it seems that every sugar bowl we lend to our California neighbors is returned all bent up. Eeonaid end Lewis both met irritable birds who had gotten out of bed that morning left foot first. x A flock cf other New Yorkers have gone out to the coast and re turned all punched up like a Yonkers commutation ticket. Black eyes grew biggers than sunflowers in that wonderful sun-kissed climate. They're so yflart to see an eastern champ that they slap him on the back so hard that his back collar, button pushes all the polka'dots out of his necktie. After one of those Californians slaps you on the shoulder blades you can button your vest on your backbone for the rest of your life. That's when they like you. Don't ever get 'em mad. You said it. Of course those San Francisco affairs are only four-round blizzards. Rut four stanzas with a mountain lion is only slightly more precarious than 50 rounds with lil' Lord Faunterloy. The kaiser "would still have his navy if Uncle Sam had launched charlotte russes instead of battle ships. Those Californians take their skirmishes in tabloid form. Tough birds. When they want their fingernails polished-they don't go to a man icurist. They go to a marble yard. ' There ain't any chance-of blaming it on a native son decision. A lot of slickers can juggle an adding machine so that the dope comes out in Babyloiiian hieroglyphics, but a punch on the nose is a wallop on the beak in any language. Why softshoe it through 20 or 30 rounds of tapping when one good sock on the dimpled chin will save freight on a carload of jabs. Admitting that a knuckle marathon hasn't got a chance with a fist splinter in a four-round tableau vivant, at the same time we would like to get hep to one California rebus. , What is there in the SGolden State climate that takes all the curl out of an eastern champ's toupee? Church League Completes Season's Schedule Tonight Teams in the Church league.play their last games in the league this season tonight yo the Young Men's Christian association floor. The Pearl Memorials and J the Trinity Baptists will meet at 7:30, the Hanscom Parks will play the First Christians at 8:10 and the Calvary Baptists and Benson Methodists will stage the final encounter at 9 o'clock. The First Christians have won the championship, but hope to raise the average by tonight's game. Michigan Wins at. Basket Ball. Champaign, 111., March 10. Michi gan beat Illinois in a western con ference basket ball game here to night. 22 to 18. Part by part they brought the car up to these new standards. They employed larger parts, new heat treatments, more costly steels, more drop forgings. They spent $250,000 for new machinery and equipment, for more accurate work manship and more radical tests. And they trained a staff of 135 inspectors to watch this car's construction. ' Remarkable Advances s Remember that the Mitchell pioneered the Six. For many years the Mitchell Sixes have bee gaining world-wide respect. Yet they add to these sturdy cars 50 per cent more strength. To these .enduring cars they add 75 per cent endurance. And, while adding weight, they reduce operating cost by 25 per cent. r They have added new beauty, new com fort. They are adding new finish, new fea-' tures, new room. j Yet the price is below any comparable Six below the cars which have not been changed. That is the most amazing fact a Six of this class akits price. It is due to wonder ful factory efficiency. This complete car motor, chassis ancT body is built in the model Mitchell plant under scientific meth ods. . Come and see this new Mitchell idea of how good a car should be. f $1,475, f. o. b.

C CHAMPIONSHIP MAT 'GO' CARDED 'ACROSS RIVER Featherweight Title at Stake in Finish Match Between Breedfove and Swindell at Bluffs Auditorium. Promoter Al Fiori of Council Bluffs announces that he expects a record house at the Bluffs audi torium tomorrow night when Vern on Breedlove, featherweight cham pion, meets Claude Swindell of Lin coln in a finish mat natch, best two out of three falls. Swindell will bring a number of fans from Lin coln and the Bluffs "bugs" are all agog with interest in the affair. Omaha mat fans are interested as well, Ernie Holmes having quite a number of orders for tickets. Breedlove has been training in Holmes' gymnasium and the people who have seen him work out are out boosting the match among their friends by telling in what fine form Breedlove is. Judging from the reports from Lincoln. Swindell is thought to be just as fit by his Lincoln friends. He is said to have made the weight of 125 pounds easily and to be confident that we. will wear the featherweight crown after tomorrow night's match. The Lincoln wrestler has been work ing with some lightweight and wel terweight wrestlers to give him strength and endurance. The champion, too, has been work ing with men bigger than himself.

Ia.. was arrested on Mis- sou Pacific passenger train No. 105. He objected to being searched until he was shown a warrant. The state agents began to shoot out of the windows of the smoking car to intimidate Sparks, they said. When the negro continued to object to the search, he was clubbed. Sparks had 24 pints of whisky concealed on his person. He was lodged in 4he city jail on a charge of illegal possession of liquor. Doris Stevens Wires Father Here That She Is Not Seriously Hurt Doris Stevens, militant Omaha suffragette, has telegraphed her fa ther that she was not badly hurt in the scrimmage last Tuesday night in New York, when he was re ported to have been 'struck on the head with a banner pole while the womanx suffrage enthusiasts were seeking to get President Wilson's attention to their cause.

The legislature of the state of Idaho has passed a 20-round boxing bill which was practically the house roll No. 88 bill of Nebraska. The sponsor of the Idaho bill wrote to 'Gene Melady and asked him for a copy of the Nebraska bill and, chang ing the number of rounds from 6 to 20, presented it just as it was. The bill went across with flying colors with few dissenting votes. 'This pre sents another possibility for the lo cation of , the Willard-Dempsey tangle.

They are not so free with their fcioney on the match between John freberg and John Pesek. Freberg's friends are a lit tle wary of sending their "kale to the Gate City, for Pesek's jbreat mat work recently has caused the: Illi nois mat followers to hesitate about placing any great sums on anyone opposed o the Shelton farmer boy. It seems that quite a bit ot money was wagered on the Savage-Peso! match and the' Chicagoans took the short end of the money, so they are not in any rush to place any sub stantial bets on Freberg.

Gest, before sailing for London, wired a representative in Chicago to chal lenge the winner of the Willard Dempsey match on behalf of Geofrge Bell, a gigantic negro, playing the part of the bean seller in a play being run at the Chicago auditorium. Bell is seven feet seven inches tall and out of condition weights 351 pounds. He has a reach of 91 inches, which, is 19 inches more than that of the late Bob Fitzsimmons. He is only 27 years old and lias been a freight handler and stone quarryman all his life until he was engaged for his present theatrical job. He doesn't drink, smoke or chew and admits that he has never been forced to show his full strength. He was rejected by the United States army draft board be cause a uniform couldn't be found to fit him. The only readymade gar ment he can wear is a handkerchief.
