San Bernardino, Cal., April 24.
Charles Basle won the second an

hill climb on a mountain road near
here today, speeding over a wi::dinor
course eight miles to an altitude of
4.900 feet in 18 minutes and 4-5 sec

HAT
A good-sized crowd witnessed the
Jack Dempsey athletic carnival at
the Auditorium and were well
pleased, with the show, Dempsey's
exhibitions with John Lester John
son, the New York"'hegro heavy
weight for two rounds and Denver
Jack Geyer for two rounds, yet
about one-half or two-thirds of the
audience were disappointed. Billy
McCarney, the advance atrent for
f-the carnival, made arrangements for
JJempsey to spar three rounds with
Harry Williams, Omaha's favorite
heavyweight boxer. Williams was
on hand and stripped for the exhibi-i
tion, but Jack Kearns, Dempsey's
manager, refused to let the title
challenger go on with Williams.
Since boxing contests are illegal
in Nebraska, it would be unlawful
for Dempsey to take Williams on
and "shoot" and Kearns stated
Dempsey will spar with no one but
his own sparring partners." One
of the Dempsey sparring partners
'one Miller, was sought to box with
Harry, but had gone to a vaude
ville show and could not be found,
hence the disappointment of the
many fans that had gone to the
Auditorium to see Wiliams perform
It was freely mentioned among
the great number of fans that
wanted to see the Omaha boy box,
that Kearns made no friends among
them for refusing to let Jack go on
with Harry.
Dempsey Fast As Heavyweight.
Naturally Dempsey did not extend
limself in his bouts with his spar
ring mates; he had no need to, for
he outclasses them so far, that had
he tried, neither of them could have
gone over a few seconds with him,
but even as easy as he tried to be.
Johnson was a weary brunette
when his two rounds were over.
Jack accidently hit Geyer a little too
hard on the chin over in one corner
of the ring and he had to play
around and wait until the Denver
man s head cleared before striking
at him again. It was easily noted
that Dempsey is all that is claimed
for him in the way of speed, for lie
danced around as lightly as a light
weight and it seemed to require no
effort for him to strike out at his
opponents.
i he show was opened bv Mat-
suda Ouishi. the Japanese, and Lu
decke, the Central American cham

which lasted only a few minutes with
the little Jap a winner. Ludecke
then asked for a trial with the Tan

and Charlie Peters then gave a 15-
mmute wrestling exhibition, which
was roundly applauded.
GiBbs-Cutler Match Near Fight.
Following the Stangl-Peters bout,
Marty Cutler of Chicagcrand Jack
Gibbs of New York, went on for a
15-minute match.' These two big
fellows got mad and it was as much
a fight as a wrestling match. They
punched, butted, kicked and did ev
erything but scratch and bite in their
mill, but neither scored a fall. The
house was in an uproar all the time
the men were in the ring,
Billy Romanoff, the challeneer for
the welterweight wrestling title, went
on in a 15-minute bout with Tonv
Rotuillo, which was a good jne. Max
Kaplan and K. O. Romanoff divided
the refereeing of the wrestling
events.

Some of the fans in the Bluffs
didn't take very well to Ervin Car
rol's challenge to Vernon Breedlove
lasi luesoay night, but Vernon put
himself on record as accepting Car
rol s challenge if the Lincoln boy
would prove himself a worthy op
ponent by defeating Walter Smith in
their Grand Island encounter with
in the next two weeks. The little
champion also insisted that Carrol
post a forfeit of not less than fifty
dollars for his appearance, as he
feared that Ervtn would try to slide
out of the match at the last minute
it there was no forfeit for appear
ance up.
A Nebraska-Iowa base ball league
may be organized within the next
two weeks, the teams to play Sat
urdays, Sundays and holidays. The
Longways of Cbuncil Bluffs, with a
park of their own will be one of the
teams in the loop and the probabili
ties are that Ernie Holmes will have
a team to go into such a leacrue.
If two or three teams from each sideH
of the river can be secured to enter,
it is likely that the opening game
will be held about the middle of
May. With the Holmes teams, if
Gretna, Plattsmouth and one other
team from the Nebraska side of the
river can e secured, and Minden.
and two others from Iowa will sto
into it .with' the Council Bluffs or
ganization, a .strong loop can be
made up and should prosper, play
ing two games a week with carries
on all holidays as well.
Though Jack Reynolds is in Om
aha primarily to get some more in
struction and training from Farmer
Burns, the peerless teacher of the
art of wrestling, the champion will
not pass up any matches that is
offered him in this section.' In, fact.
he stated that he had three matches
pending, one with A. S. Nillis at
Jvorth Platte, Neb., another with
Jack Ryan at Pettz, Colorado, and
still a third with Pete Katausky, ot
L-nicago, at iedar Kapids. Should
the bout with Katausky fail to ma
terialize, it is likely that Billy Rom
anoft will get the chance at Reyn
olds he has so long sought. Reyn
olds announced that he would like to
r..eet Vernon Breedlove the feather;

Western league ball fans will have
their eves on Omaha Saturday, Sun
day and Monday when the Omaha
and Des Moines clubs play a series
of three games. ' After the series,
both teams will start south to open
the season in Tulsa and Wichita, re
spectively. This will be an oppor
tunity for the league followers' to
judge the relative strength of the
two teams and after the first few
games of the season, they will have
an idea of how they compare with
the other clvlbs in the circuit.
These will be the last exhibition
games for the Omaha club, as the
Rotirkes open the regular season
at Tulsa on the 30th. Manager
Jackson will present practically the.
same lineup in the Des Moines
games as faced the Armour semi-
pros in the games at Kourke park
tue last two bundays. Hale, the
catcher purchased from the St.
Louis Americans, will probably bear
the brunt ot the backstopping and
Townsend, the southpaw pitcher
secured from San Antonio, will prob
ably get a chance to throw some
against the Iowa team.
The lineup of the Des Moines
team is not at hand at this writing,
but Jackson has given his as: Out
fielders, Hanzen, Thompson, Ba
shang and Kirby; infielders, Donica
Gislason, Cable and Jackson;
catchers, Corderman and Hale,
pitchers, Merz, Townsend, Manske,
Kopp, Fuhr and- Robinson. He
thinks that with this aggregation
rf crack players he will wallop the
Des Moines tribe and when the
Western loop opens for business he
will step out in front.
Students' Strike Settled.
Fort Collins. Colo., April' 24.
With the appointment of a, student
committee to discuss grievances with
the faculty, the strike of students at
the State Agricultural college ended
here today. The strike began Tues
day because 30 returned soldiers
were disciplined for absenting them
selves from military drill.
Second Western League
vClub to Demonstrate Their
Ability to Fans.
Far from being discouraged by
the two defeats administered by the
Omaha Western league ball club,
the semi-pro Armours are delighted
with their showing and will tackle
a- second Western loop club next
Sunday in a game with the Sioux
City, la., team in the backyard lot
of the Sioux Citizens. This name
will give Western league followers
a line on the playing ability of the
Kourkes, as wU as the Armour s
opponents and the Des Moines club.
Des Moines and Omaha will play
here on the same day. Should the
Omaha leaguers trim the Des
Moines clubi and the Armours
trounce Sioux City it will give the
local fans plenty of hopes for ht
Omaha club and confidence inltheir
ability to step out in front in tnc
league race.
Managers Deleware and Williams
of the packer's team announce that
they will have probably the same
lineup against the Sioux City team
that they presented in the games
with the Omaha club. Hayes, Dyke
and Fotach will do the flinging,
Williams the catching and Graves,
Collins, Dygert and Payne will
cover the outer gardens, with Cor
coran, M. Collins, Synek and Ryan
on the infield. Another nitrher.
Hirsch, may accompany the team
on the trip. Dygert will lead the
batting list, with Al Graves follow-
ng him. Synek will be the third at
bat, with Williams ih the cleanup
position, and Corcoran behind
Harry to brim? the leader around.
The Collins boys will follow, Jim
first and then Marty and "Chugs"
Ryna will whale after them and the
itcher will poke after Chuggsy
gets through. The Armour people
ave no idea who will compose the
lineup of their opponents.

Special Cablt Dispatch.
Paris, April 24. "Premier Lloyd
George desires to lee the threa
Irish-American commissioner! next
week and this doubtless wilFeventu
ate in the coming to Paris of tht
three Irish peace delegates De
Valera, Count Plunkett and Griffith
to present Ireland's case before
the peace congress for admission of
Ireland to the league of nations as
an independent nation."
Ihis semi-official announcement
represents toe first great victory
for Irish independence, and it ob
viously proves the weight of Ameri
can public opinion in swinghg the
peace congress in that direction.
It was only last Tuesday that
Frank P. Walsh put up the propo
sition to President Wilson, who im
mediately turned it over to Colonel
House with instructions to "get
busy."
The very next day, Colonel House,
in true Texas style, told the trio:
"I'll do my damnedest." And he
made good. The greatest enthu
siasm greeted the announcement at
Irish-American headquarters at the
Grand hotel, that the British pre
mier is willing to see the Irish dele
gates. The stamp of pledged se-
crecy still seals the lips of the three
American emissaries, but it can be
said that they are certain this Brit
ish concession means the eventual
invitation of the Irish delegates to
Paris and doubtless the admission of
Ireland to the league of nations. ;
This signalizes one of the most
important results of the peace con
ference s work the treeing of a
great Christian nation. Ireland, af
ter hundreds of years of oppression.
and America will go down in his
tory as the power that swung the -issue.
Premier Llyod George's "hope
that the I-fish-American peace com
mission will Tie kind enough to see
me ,next week," and his expression
of regret that "press of business
prevents my-seeing them thisweek,"
indicates, first, Britain's undoubted
earnest desire for the friendliest
after-the-war co-operation with
America, and, second, her desire to
put her pwn house in order by get
ting at least one serious British
problem out of the way while the
premier's erstwhile ally, the North
cliffe press, is snapping at his heels
and the hostility of certain factions
toward the coalition government is
growing and serious labor troubles
are impending.

test between the city of Omaha,

company alleges the ordinance Inter
feres with the rights conferred in its
franchise.
