ball circles.
Favorable weather conditions have

caster Welsh for this afternoon and
the officials of the association pre
dict that atHeas 75,000 fans will

less, the fans will witness many
close and interesting contests durr
ing the next two and a half months,

Practically all of the teams in this
- new organization have participated
on the various sand-lots and muni
cipal diamonds, for the past four
x years under the banner of the

municipal -diamonds, Thirty-second
street and Dewey avenue, River
vjew park, Miller park, Elmwood
park, east and west diamonds, and

little or no practice, but the moguls
all announced that their teams are in
the-best of condition and are con
fident of winning.

of the teams ate composed entirely
of new blood, while practically .all
of the teams with the exception
of "one or two will have a number
of new players.

Must Have City
Permits to Play
on Muny Courts
. (
Park Commissioner Falconer has
hit upon an idea to preserve the
Municipal golf courses from the dep
radations of the wilfully malicious
and careless golfers that play on the
city links. Beginning May 1, it will
be necessary for golfers td secure a
1919 permit (without cost) at the
office of the park commissioner, en
titling them to the use of the links
for the entire year. ,-"'
A player appearing without a
yearly permit will be given a tem
porary permit once, but must have
the yearly ticket when he shows up
again. Visitors from other cities
can get permits from the starterr at
the courses for the time of their stay
in Omaha. Applying for the yearly
passes, the applicants will be given
a book of rules of the course to read
and study and will sign his name in
a boolcunder an agreement to abide
by the rules set forth.
The rules are drawn with-the ob
ject of promoting and safeguarding
the Interests of the players of trm
nicipal courses. By proper co
operation on the part of the golfers,
a greater enjoyment may be had in
the game and the elimination of any
unpleasant features in connection
with the operation of public
courses. .

DEMPSEY TO BOX

THURSDAY NIGHT
Athletic Carnival at Audi
torium April 24 Will Present
Three Wrestling Bouts and
7 Challenger In Exhibitions.
Jack Dempsey.
As a rule keeping a week ahead
of the Jack Dempsey athletic carni
val as the advance business man
ager of the show, Billy McCarney,
manager of Luther McCarthy, when
the foremost "white hope" of that
time was killed in a bout at Calgary,
Canada, with ' Arthur Pelky, has
been in town for a couple of daYs
visiting old friends and looking the
Gate city over. Billy is as enthus
iastic over Dempsey as he was over
McCarthy and those that knew Lute
and Billy will know what that
means.
The Dempsey carnival will show
at the auditorium Thursday night
and McCarney has booked a number
of evqnts in conjunction with the
heavyweight dhallenger's appear
ance to create some local interest
Three wrestling bouts will precede
Dempsey's exhibition, introducing
Oishi, the Japanese wrestler, against
Ludecke, the champion of Central
America. Jess Queen and Tom Ray,
the local celebrities of the mat
world will wrestle and Charlie Pet
ers will go on with the Italian troop
er, Gardini, who has been having
such wonderful success with the
carnival. Each wrestling match will
be for one fall or to 30 minutes.
Harry Williams vs Dempsey.
Some local interest will be arous
ed in the main event of the pro
gram with Jack Dempsey matched
to box Jess Willard for the heavy
weight championship of the world
on July 4, next, boxing a three!
round exhibition .with Harry Wil
liams, Omaha's new candidate for
heavyweight boxing honors. Wil
liams only recently took up the box
ing game and has shown great
promise. He was formerly a West
ern and American league base ball
player and is now employed in the
South Side stockyards, playing
semi-pro ball with the Armour Base
Ball club. .
Following' the exhibition with
Williams, Dempsey wilf box three
rounds with John Lester Johnson,
the giant negro heavyweight, who
outpointed Jack in his second ap
pearance in New York City, almost
causing tnat wnite Doy to give up
the game. Johnson will give the lo
cal fans an idea of what may be ex
pected of the chafTenger, for he is
six felt four inches in height, and
weighs 230 pounds. The three rounds
with John Lester will conclude the
program. . '

are acquainted with Smith's record.
He has been wrestling for nine years
seven years as a professional and
two as an amateur. As an amateur,
he represented the Anselmo A. C.

Trap Shooters Will'
Organize New Amateur
National Association
New York, April 19. Several of
the most prominent amateur trap
shooters in the United States, who
will take part in the Victory week
tournament over the traps of the
New York Athletic club at Travers
Island from April 28 to May 2, in
tend to organize a new national
amateur association during that
week. It is to be known at the
Amateur Clay Target Shooting as
sociation of America and will un
dertake complete jurisdiction over
all amateur events.
After arrangements have been
made for the club and individual
membership the association will
officially issue sanctions and give
recognition to all club and league
fixtures.
It is believed that under the new
regime a higher standard will be set
for those events, and it will be pos--sible
to compile official averages
for practically all the amateur trap
shooters in the country.
