OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 23, 1919.
5 C
I,
OMAHA CLUB HAS
NOT COMPLETED
ALL TRADE DEALS
Manager and Owner Hope to
Conclude Exchanges This
Week and Strengthen In
field and Pitching Staff.
The ground keeper for the Omaha
Western league base ball club put
in an appearance on March 15 and
proceeded to put the Rourke park
ball diamond in shape for the sea
son of 1919. He reported to the
manager, Bill Jackson, that the field
was already in fairly good shape
and would require but little wprk to
have it in tip-top condition for the
first games to be played there. A
good rolling and, the pitcher's
mound worked over a little is all
the ball yard needs. Workmen have
been busy on the bleachers and
graiul stands, repairing the rough
and worn spots. ,
' Has Four Pitchers Signed.
Manager Jackson said that, he had
four pitchers signed up, naming
Manske, Kopp, Merz and Fuhr.
'These four will be the mainstays of
; the club until a youngster or two
j that Bill expects to have before the
season is very old, develops' enough
to be picked in regular turn. Be
, sides the inflelders mentioned in
f earlier reports, Harry Donica and
, Al Bashang have put their John
: Henrys to contracts and will show
up about April 10. Several of the
contemplated deals have not as yet
matured, but I'a Rourke and man-
ager Bill hope to put a couple of
them through this week and have a
full line-up to announce.
One. old Omaha player has an
nounced his retirement from the
siame and states that he has secured
i good position with Swift's Pack
ing company. Al Callahan says he
1 s through with the game for good,
is a player, but that he will be out
I o tli e old yard often enough to
' itep in touch with the old pals and
' oot hard for the Omaha club. Al
,ias already started work in his new
osition and says it is so attractive
o him that he doesn't care to give
t up for the short time he might
e able to hold his end up in the
. Vestern league.
In Quandary as to Mason.
The local tlub heads are in a
luimilaiy as to what to do to get
r'at Mason to report' in time for the
ipt'iiing of the season. Mason is
mending school at Kockhurst
ollege, in Kansas City, and will
mt complete his term until June.
Alien his studies will be entirely
vcr. He wants to stay in school
ntil he graduates and join the club
n June, but Jackson and Rourke
vant him to get in at the first of'
:he season and go back to- school
n the winter. If Mason should quit
lis studies now, he would lose all
he credit marks he has gained
luring the present term and would
lave all the work to do over again
o regain them. This he is not at
,11 anxious to do, but the manager
f the club points out to Turn that
, .c will have a season's salary when
le goes jack to school in the fall
ind having gone through the
itudies once, they will come easier
o him when he returns to college
md he will have no trouble in
naking up for the time lost.
It looks like now, that the Ar
nours need have no great fear of
losing their star third baseman, for
Jackson says he will have so many
:nfielderswhen the show smarts that
ie won't know what to do with
:liem, but there is always the chance
that some of the new material will
not be able to hold up and in that
rase Jackson would probably be
after Corcoran again. Bill hasn't
aid, whether he had given up the
idea of 4anding Wees or not, but
intimated that he had plenty 'of
other prospects and he seems to
want the Armours to have a good
team, since the packer team will
play at Rourke Park while the
Western leaguers are traveling.

all league will close its season with
his week's games, and for the sec
md time Central Park's strong quill
et has won the championship. With
ut a single defeat during the sea
son, the lads from the northwest dis
:rict have conclusively demonstrated
their superiority over the other
:eams in the circuit. Although given
hard battles by South Side and Cas
'.elar in the early games of the sea
son, the Central Park team so im
proved by the second round that
they swamped all opposition.
A tie may result for second place,
as South Side and Clifton Hill have
each won the same number of games,
and unless one of the two teams
loses this week, a play-off will be
necessary. Expulsion of Castelar
from the league for unsportsmanlike
conduct gives opponents of this team
credit for a victory in every case
'vhere a game was scheduled during
the past three weeks. ,

American Boxers Hold All
Pugilistic Championships
JACK BBITTOKT
England, Mother Country of
Boxing, Unable to Retain
World's Honors When
U. S. Takes Up Sport.
By "KID" GRAVES.
Boxing championships had their
birth in England and for many
years Englishmen held the titles in
the various classes. The sport was
taken up in the new United States
republic, Australia began taking
great interest in the game and grad
ually other nationalities began to
try the ring game. In spite of the
interest aroused in the other coun
tries and the good bjxera produced,
T'nnrlynrt tnrinnapH In rianir fin in till
champions for many years, until the
title men in America' began to
long for the world championships
and made journcjs to the mother
country to gain them. Then the
lightweight crown came into the
possession of America.
The British boxers learned of the
great interest the sport had aroused
in America and the vat amount of
money the American boxers were
making and they began to make
journeys to America to gather the
American dollars and in doing it,
they lost their coveted wjrld's titles.
While boxing is one of the finest
sports they have in Australia, they
have never had an -Australian for
a world's champion. The nearest
they came to it was w':cn Bob Fitz
simmons won the middleweight and
heavyweight titles. Bob was sup
posed by many Americans to be an
Australian, but he was really an En
lishman, having been born in Corn
wall, England, going t; Australia
in extreme youth. Les D'Arcy
might have become a woill's title
holder if he had lived, for he wa3
undoubtedly the best middleweight
in the world at the time of his
American invasion, but he died be
fore he was given t clnnce at any
American noxers.
It is the great boast of the Ameri
can boxers and boxing fans, that
every world's title is held by an
American scrapper. Jess Willard,
the heavyweight champion, is an
American and even if ne loses to
Jack Dempsey on July 4 the world's
champion will still be an American.
The light-heavyweight champion is
Billy Miske of St. Paul, also ar.
American. The world's middle
weight champion, Mike O'Dowd, is
an American, of Irish descent, now
with the army of occupation in
Prance and Germany. Mike Gib
bons, probably the best middle
weight in the world, and likely the
next champion, Is an American. .
The welterweight championship is
now held by an American, Jick Brit
ton, formerly of Chicago, now of
New York. Britton won ;he cham
pionship March 22, 1916, irom the
writer at Dayton, O. He lost the
honors to Ted Lewis, an English
man, in the same 'ring on June 25,
1917. Le wis held the titlo boxing
only, in America, until March 17,
1919, when Jack Britton regained it
from Lewis, knocking hirr out in
nine rounds at Canton, O. Thus, we
have an American welterweight
champion of the world. Benny Leon
ard, the lightweight champion of the
world is an American, having won
the championship from Freddy
Welsh, an Englishman. Welsh had
won the title from Willie Ritchie, an
American, in a 20-round scrap at
I London, England. The lightweight
championship of the world has been
in American possession since Kid
Lavinge went over to England, won
it, and returned to America with it.
The featherweight champion is an
American of Irish descent Johnny
Kilbane, of Cleveland. O. Kilbane
won his title from Abe Attell, an
American Hebrew boxer. Attell was
champion of America and the claim
ant of the world's championship. He
clinched his claim to the world's
honors by defeating Jem Driscoll,
the English champion. Other Eng
lishmen tried to recover the title,
but Tailed and the featherweight
honors are still retained in America.
The bantamweight championship
is held by an American bt-xer, Pete
Herman of New Orleans. Herman
won the honors from Kid vVilliams,
who had defeated Johnny Coulon for
them. Coulon was the acknowledged
champion of America and claimed
the world's title after defeving Jim
Kendrick an Englishman. Williams
knocked Coulon out and afterwards
won from the English and French
champions, making his wood's title
undisputed.
American boxers not only hold all
the world's pugilistic championships
at the present titne, but boast of
holding them for all time to come,
and judging from present conditions,
their boast seems well founded. Con
tenders for the various titles in Eog-I
if
w
land and Australia are lew and those
few are mediocre. "Even the Ameri
can boxers can present but very few
real championship possibilities. The
honor men of each division appear
to have a clear field just now, but
boxing is an uncertain game. Some
youngster may crop up at almost
any time and become a champion
overnight. The rise of boxers is
sometimes, rapid. Pete Herman was
an obscure scrapper until he won
from Williams. Kilbane was hardly
considered until just "a short time
before he met Attell.
All the present champions, with
the exception of the welter title
holder, had meteoric rises in the pu
gilistic world. Benny Leo.iard was
only a' moderately successful scrap
per until he met Freddy Welch for
the title. Jack Britton was always
considered a high-class wel'er, right
from the time he graduated rom the
lightweight class. Mike O'Dowd was
just an ordinary middleweight till
he knocked Al McCoy spinning and
won the championship. McCoy
himself was unheard of until he had
spilled Georgex Chip. Jess Willard
had but few scraps before he met
Johnson and was not a widely
known boxer until the championship
match with the negro was arranged.
Still, rapid as was their iiso, all the
world's champions are Americans
?nd here's hoping that they always
wiil be. i ,

Notes From
A few local wrestling fans, very
few, have whispered that there was
something wrong with the Pesek
Freberg match FViday night, that it
was a fixed. affair for Pesek to win.
The sporting editor of The Bee was
the official timekeeper at the Audi
torium, for all the bouts and was
sitting at one of the corners, along
side of the ring. He declares every
match on the card was absolutely
on the level and each contestant was
trying all the lime. Fans .on the
south side of the arena, perhaps,
Could not see the agonized expres
sion on Freberg's face when the
Shelton man clamped the toe hold
down for the first fall, but those on
the north side could see that the
Swede either had to concwle the fall
or have the muscles of hfs leg torn
loose. Pesek had Freberg's leg
across his thigh and was bearing
down unmercifully.
The winner of the lightweight
championship bout, the second on
the card, Friday night, Clarence
Ecklund of Buffalo, Wyo., the title
holder, wishes to issue a challenge
to the three Nebraska wrestlers
that he has not yet met. Tliey are
Charlie Peters, Joe Stangl and "Big
Bill' Dristy. Each of these fellows
outweigh Ecklund, but he is willing
to concede the weight to get a

Omaha Bowler's Surprise Fans
by Rolling Into Money Class
in All Events Held
in Toledo.
Toledo, O.. March 22. (Special
Telegram.) The pins feil easily for
Omaha men in the doubles and sin
gles events of the Am. iit an Bowl
ing congress tournament here to
day, two pairs rolling into the dou
bles money, while four individuals
are in line to secure a slice of the ,
singles melon. Middaugh was the ;
shining light of the day's activities,
both for Omaha men and represen- .
tatives of other cities. He hit off a
respective count of 662 in his sin
gles and is now tied with Ed Tel
inde of Akron for fifth place. The
latter made his 662 this afternoon,
also.
For consistent rolling the work
of Middaugh has never been equall
ed in a big singles event. He open
ed with 223, followed with 218 and
came back with 221. Telinde was '
erratic, starting with 235, falling to
180 and coming back with 247. Hef
ton and Fritcher went into the se
lect class, when they totalled 612
and 614. M. Stunz was but four
pins under 600.
Doubles stars were Wartchow and ,
Fritcher, with 1,159, and Middaugh
and Hammond, with 1,132. Mid- ,

Shooting Notes.
A representative of each state
trapshooting association will here
after be given recognition at th
annual meeting of' the American
Trapshooting association.
Clubs are advised not to stag
tournaments of several days' dura
tion. Preference in registering
tournaments will be given to clubs
that apply for a one-day's shoot.
There is such a thing as too much
shooting, and the American Trap
shooting association seeks to pre
vent this.
No more than 200 targets per day
vt ill be thrown in a registered trap
shooting tournament. No less than
100 will be thrown in any tourna
ment and no less than 150 in a
state championship tournament. ,
Trapshooting clubs must make a
report of their registered shoots
within 30 days. Failure to comply
with this rule will prevent clubs
from securing trophies, etc., offered
by the A. T. A.
