SIX HOME GAMES
SCHEDULED FOR
CENTRAL HIGH
Local School Gridiron Team
Has Ten Games Booked for
Coming Season, Four of
Which Will Be on Road.
Central's 1919 Card.
Sept. 27. Commerce High at Omaha.
Oct. 4, Council Bluffs at Omaha.
Oct. 11, South Omaha at Omaha.
Oct. 18, Norfolk at Norfolk.
Oct. .26, North DeB Moines there.
Nov. 1, Sioux City at Sioux City.
Nov. 7, Beatrice at Omaha.
Nov. 15, Lincoln at Omaha.
Nov. 22, Sioux Falls at Omaha
Nov. 27, St. Joseph at St. Joseph
A full card of 10 grid games are
booked for Central High's 1919 pig
rkin warriors, according to the
rchedule announced yesterday by
Coach Mulligan. All the teams that
Central played or4ried to play dur
ing the past season have been g;ven
games for this year. Six home games
iire on the list and four to be fought
on hostile grounds.
Although negotiations for a game
were made with Council Bluffs last
year, the expected rougn house was
prevented by the very convergent
"flu" epidemic. This year, unless the
Omaha warriors look too big for
the Bluffers, the encounter will be
pulled off. South High will then
come in for a trimming to make up
for the defeat last year. The Cen
trales will then board Hines's spe
cials to Norfolk and next to North
Des Moines to avenge a certain un
pleasantness of score that the
Iowans unloaded on them in 1918.
Sioux City High at Sioux City will
be the third successive game on the
road before Mully's pets return for
the Beatrice fray and the real game
of the season Lincoln at Orraha.
This game and the St. Joseph Tur
key Day squabble promise to be the
choice pickings of the season.

APARTMENTS AND RENT.
HE twtj greatest problem's in the public eyepiece today are apart
ment hunting and prohibition.
T
It's difficult to combine the two.
i
Peace hath her wound stripes
eye at a yard of apartment ads, any
drink enough brew to swim across.
A real estate agent can fib like
joys of army life to a hick who lives so far out in the wilderness that the
owls elope with his guinea hens, and panthers and rabbits use the same
toothbrush.,
If apartments get any smaller,
another year they will be renting em in sizes like shoes or hats.
Can you blame a bird for getting dizzy after trying to grab off an
apartment that won't raise bunions on his elbows?
We know one sapp who rented a collection of rooms that look some
thing like the boxes they crate eggs in. He is now suffering from rent
shock and is trying to raise a mustache of some spongy material that will
st..y damp after the country goes dry in 1920.
One advantage of those small-roomed apartments is that you can
lick any burglar who is thin and short enough to squeeze in.
The landlords must have grabbed their idea of rents from the Texas
judge who gave his decisions from the Sears-Roebuck catalogue, 'He'd
fine the boys anywhere from a hairpin to a steam caliope, all depending
on where he opened the book of instalment law. Maybe they get their
dope from Gypsy Dream Book. They sure know how to massacre a guy's
wages.
All apartments are built on the opera hat scheme of architecture.
The agent shows you a room that looks like an anaemic pill box. That's
your nine-room apartment folded up like an accordion. The kitchen sink
is a combination davenport and player-piano. The rooms are those form
fitting kind that button up the back. Even Houdini refuses to go into
one.
.
Living in a six-room Omaha apartment makes you feel like a turtle
with a haif-dozen shells.
Children aren't allowed in the better class of Farnam street and
Dundee apartment houses. A teething kid is liable to lick the paint off
the foundations and make the wallpaper bear the entire weight of the
structure. Besides, kids are careless and might loose a couple of rooms.
Sport
By KID
All details except the selection of
a referee have been arranged for
the Breedlove-Shoafstall wrestling
match at, the Council Bluffs audi
torium next Tuesday night. Denny
Ryan was the referee in their first
match and Shoafstall thought Ryan
was too hasty in calling the final
fall and insisted upon another ref
eree being chosen for this bout. Up
to date, the question is still in abey
ance. Several names have been sug
gested by both parties, but no
agreement has been reached. Breed
love finally insisted that the matter
be settled at the ringside and a ref
eree chosen from the audience or
else wrestle without a referee and
let one man make the other one
say "nuff"- or something else that
would signify when he was pinned.
m
It was arranged before the Breed-love-Smith
match that Denny
Moore, the Omaha welterweight
wrestler, would meet the winner be
tween Young Gotch and Jim Gor
man, but the Gorman-Gotch match
was changed, and they did not go
to a finish, but Moore will get his
chance to wrestle in the Bluffs any
way, lor ai rion win matcn nun
with Young Ootch tor the semi
windup, next Tuesday night. Every
bout on the card will be a finish
match this time and each will be
the best two out of three falls. An
opening card will be closed within
the next day or so, and with (jotcii
and Moore in a finish affair in the
semi and Breedlove and Shoafstall
going the same route in the main
event, it should be some card.
That "mental hazard" thing that
Willie Ritchie banked oa in his bout
with Benny Leonard didn't seem to
be worth much. J. he champion used
his old left for a niblick and putted
his way to an eight-hole victory,
the master of ceremonies calling a
halt on the approaches to ihe eighth
hole. Willie's smashing drives
availed him naught, his opponent be-
ing able to drive as well as the
coast boxer. Here's a guess that
Willie forsakes, the ring for the
greens after Monday's disastrous ef
fort to come back.
A team from Fremont will be
sought to enter the Nebraska-Iowa

Rumor in Chicago of
Zbyszko-Caddock Mat
Match Being Held July
Chicago, April 29. Wladek Zbysz
ko, the Polish wrestler, now has
but one grappler to overcome in
order to reach the championship,
it was said today by followers of
the sport. That one is Sergealit
Earl Caddock; of the American ex
peditionary forces, whose return
from overseas is expected so soon
that already there is talk of a match
between the Pole and the soldier in
July.
Zbyszko clinched his right to be
Caddock's challenger by defeating
Ek (Strangler) Lewis a second time
in a match here last night, pro
nounced one of the most spectacular
contests of the kind that has taken
place in Chicago. The men wrestled
two hours, 14 minutes and nine sec
onds, the end coming like a flash,
with u. side roll and body scissors,
after a head-lock the seventh
Lewis had secured during the
match had slipped. For the great
er part of the wrestling time Lewis
was the aggressor, but could not
pin his skillful antagonist to the
mat.
By the terms of, the match a fall
was to decide the contest if one
was not secured within two hours
wrestling time.
