HITS IN SECOND

Townsend Holds Oklahoma
, City Clubbers to Three Hits
and Gislason Helps Him
With Two-Bagger.
Oklahoma City Okl., . May 5.
Townsend pulled Oklahoma City
batsmen in today's game, the visit
ing south paw yielding but three
' scattered hits, while Omaha walked
off with a 1 to 0 decision in the third
game of the series. Only one Okla
homa City player reached third dur
ing the game, Griffin gaining tha
sack in the fifth, to see Griffith whiff
for the final out of , the inning.
Omaha backed Townsend with some
nice support, Krby grabbing a fly
from Hunter's bat with one hand,
after a long run, while Cable handled
a lot of chances, some of which were
difficult. -
A running catch by Nutt in left
held and Benson s play on Town
send's offering in the sixth were the
, choice local bits of defensive play
during the game. Gislason hit home
the lone run of the fray in the sec
ond, inning when he nicked Stoner
I for a double with Dnica on first by
' virtue of a pass. Thereafter Stoner
pitched himself out of some 'tight
places with the aid of nice support.
, Applegate pitched the last inning,
after a pinch hitter replaced Stoner
in the eighth. Score:
. . OMAHA.

THREE ALL-STAR
FINISH MATCHES
AT BLUFFS SHOW
Featherweight Champion and
Shoafstall in Main Event,
Gotch in Semi, Amateurs
Open Show.
When about two months ago,
Harry Shoafstall, lightweight cham
pion wrestler of the south, met Ver
non Breedlove, world's feather
weight title holder, the 125-pound
king, pinned the Southerner in the
first fall, going almost an hour. He
secured an arm scissors on his op
ponent in the second fall and had
him almost pinned, when the ref
eree, Denny Ryan, made a rather
hasty decision and patted Breedlove
on the back, declaring the fall and
the match in favor of the champion.
They will meet tonight in a finish
match and since Shoafstall insists
upon another referee than Ryan, the
third man will be Kid Graves, sport
ing editor of the Bee.
Gotch and Moore in Semi.
The Popular Omaha welterweight
wrestler, Young Ootch, wrestled a
lad from Minden, la., at the last
show and it was announced that
Denny Moore of Omaha would
meet the winner at the next show.
Since there was no winner Fiori de
cided to put Moore against Gotch in
the semi-windup. They are old en
emies on the mat, Moore having
been victorious in their last set-to,
and tiotch is anxious to retrieve
himself and pin Denny this time,
They will go to a finish, best two
out of three falls.
A finish match between a pair of
amateurs will open the show, pre
senting Kay Deffenbaugh, 125-pound
champion of Iowa, and Earl Alberti,
the champion of the same class in
Nebraska. They will go two falls
out of three.

BIG TITLE SCRAP
TO BE STAGED AT
TQIEDOJULY 4
Tex Rickard Announces Ohio
City as Site for Willard
Dempsey Independence
Day Bout.
New York, May 5.-The Jess Wil
lard-Jack Dempsey heavyweight
fight will be staged at Toledo, O.,
on the afternoon of Friday, July 4.
, The pugilists will enter the ring
at 3 p. m. and will box 12 rounds un
less a knockout terminates the con
test earlier in the clash. If the bout
goes the limit, a referee, to be
selected later, will award a decision
on points. The details were an
nounced by Promoter Tex Rickard
here tonight.
Willard and Dempsey will be paid
for their services, Rickard ex
plained, and will not right tor a
purse, which is against the laws of
Ohio.
"Having consulted my attorneys,"
he said, "I find that I am entirely
within the laws of Ohio, and ac
cording to a decision of law on such
cases. Therefore, I have accepted
Toledo's offer to hold the boxing
exhibition there.
"Under the Ohio law, the mayor
of Toledo is permitted to grant con
sent, i Under decision of the court
one is privileged to employ boxers
to give exhibitions.
An octagon-shaper arena to ac
commodate between 50,000 and 60,
000 spectators will be erected at a
point convenient to the city. Ad
mission charges will range from $5
to $50, according to the location of
tickets. Both pugilists will train for
at least five weeks at the scene of
the contest in accordance with the
terms of the contract made with
Rickard.
Columbus, 0 May 5. Governor
Cox tonight declined to comment on
the proposal to hold the Willard
Dempsey fight, July 4, at Toledo.
Examination of the Ohio law
against prize fighting, made in the
governor's office, shows that inter
pretation and enforcement of it is
up to local authorities.
The law permits boxing exhibi
tions for which the mayor if in
municipalities of the sheriff, if
outside, grants permits; if the
matches are given under the aus
pices of a chartered athletic asso
ciation and no purse is offered to
the winner.
It is said that in the Willard-
Dempsey contest, no purse is to be
offered, but that each contestant is
to receive a definite amount of Lib
erty bonds. The athletic association
requirements also are said to have
been complied with.
Governor Cox today received a
telegram from J. Drexell Biddle of
the board of boxing commissioners
of the army and navy, urging that
the Willard-Dempsey bout be per
mitted in the interests of clean
sports.
Toledo Ministerial Union
to Oppose Holding Fight
Toledo, O., May 5. The Toledo
Ministerial union, composed of 150
oastors of churches in this district.
at' a mass meeting today, protested
against holding the Willard-Demp
sev fight here on July 4. The union
adooted a resolution condemning
the fistht as being in violation of
state laws and those of humanity,
It was resolved that every effort
will be made to influence the gov
ernor to prohibit the fight and if
necessary a delegation will oe at
the ringside to demand action by
the county sheriff. The meeting
of ministers was called after word
came that Tex Rickard had decided
upon Toledo as the site for the
bout.
Rickenbacher Chosen
to Referee 500-Mile
Liberty Sweepstakes
Indianapolis. May 5. (Special).
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, known
as the "America's Ace of Aces," but
to the auto racing fans as Eddie
Rick." has been selected to referee
the Indianapolis 500-mile Liberty
sweepstakes, May 31. inaugurating
the post-war revival of automobile
racing in America. Though "Rick"
has not filed his -formal acceptance
of the honor as yet, this is regarded
as practically certain by these who
know his deep and abiding love for
the motor racing sport, and are
aware of the close friendship that
exists between himself and the In
dianapolis speedway management.
Because he has always been noted
for his square dealings, and because
he has the regard and confidence of
all racing drivers, Carl G. Fisher,
president of the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, invited Captain Eddie to
become chief official of the Liberty
event. Being the referee of a big
race is just about as popular a job
as umpiring a hotly contested ball
game, and there are few men in the
United States qualified to handle the
contest, the biggest auto sporting
event of the year.
One of the greatest compliments
paid to the former race driver was
that of George F. Kearney, editor
of Plain News, the official organ
of the, air service in France, when
he wrote, "Rickenbacker, alwayj
fair to friend and foe Ellike." This
was the caption of an article relat
ing the accomplishments of the race
driver who enlisted as stair driver
for General Pershing to get to
France and then fought to get into
the air service.

Open Here May 14
Owner W. . A. (Pa) Rourke re
turned to Omaha from a visit to
Tulsa, Okl., where he witnessed the
opening of the Western league sea
son games between his Omaha club
and the Tulsa aggregation. He says
the boys ran into some mid-season
form down south, but are rapidly
getting into that condition them
selves and he expects them to go
better from now on.
The local magnate comes back to
Omaha with plans for a grand open
ing of the home season on the local
ball lot May 14, when the Tulsa club
plays the Rourkes here. He pre
dicts that the local club will cap
ture the home series, and ha3 hopes
of a banner attendance. The boys
will be in far better playing condi

when they left, for they have been
playing m the warm southern cli
mate against teams that were al
ready in top form.

HERE IS ONE THING THAT
IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE
Rheumatism Has Never Been
Cured by Liniments or Lo
tions and Never Will Be.
You never knew of Rheumatism
that most painful source of suffer
ing beinp; cured by liniments, lo
tions or other external applications.
And you will never see anything
but temporary relief afforded ' by
such makeshifts.
But why be satisfied with tempo
rary relief from the pangs of pain
which are sure to return with in
creased severity, whten there is per
manent relief within your reach?
Science has proven that Rheuma
tism is n disordered condition of the
blood. How then, can satisfactory
results be expected from any treat
ment that does not reach the blood,
DEMPSEY SAYS
HE WILL DE REAL
CHAMP IFHE WINS
Declares He Will Not Waste
Time on Stage or in a Cir
cus, But Will Meet Chal- ;
tengers Any Time;
New York, May 5. Jack Demp
sey reiterates the statement that if
he wins "the title from Jess Willard
on July 4 he will be a fighting cham
pion and will not waste all his time
on the stage or with a circus. Prac
tically every contender for the hon
ors has made that promise, but few
have made good. -
Corbett and Fitzsimmons were
slow to defend their titles after win
ning the championship. Corbett re
mained idle for two years after de
feating Sullivan before entering the
ring with Charlie Mitchell, Fitzsim
mons did not don the gloves until
two years after the Carson City bat
tle. Jim Jeffries was the only real
fighting champion since Sullivan's
time. Jeff won the title from Fitz
simmons in June, 1899, and in No
vember of the same year he met a
real contender in Tom Sharkey.
It was two years before Jack
Johnson stepped into the ring after
defeating Jeffries at Reno and then
he met a stepup in Jim Flynn, who
never was of chatnpionhip calibre.
Willard, the present title holder,'
waited a year before he consented
to box 10 rounds without a decision,
so that he really has yet to defend
the title in a championship match,
although he won the honors in 191 S.
It was Sullivan's willingness to
show himself at all times that made
him such a pdpular idol., Dempsey
alreldy has adopted some of Sulli
van's methods. The young challen
ger met all comers while on tour
until recently, when Promoter Tex
Rickard refused to grant him per
mission to. risk injury to his hands.
Although Dempsey did not meet
any man of real standing in these
affairs, he at least gave the specta-tors-a
glimpse of his ability with the
gloves. As a matter of fact, there
are very few heavyweights left that
are able to cause him a great deal
more trouble than the setups he
meets while on the road.
