THE BEEV OMAHA WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1 919. v
OKLAHOMA CITY
AT ROURKE PARK
TO BEGIN SERIES
Locals Coming Home in Third
Place;, Begin . hree-Game
Session on Home Field
, With League Leaders,
The Rourkes come home today
with the Oklahoma Oty crew to
open a long stretch on the home
grounds. The first visitors are only
here for a three-day meet, but all
other clubs in the circuit will be
here before oiir home stretch ends;
When the Rourkes ftfr these dig
gings, they were in second place,
but some hard luck caused themto
slump to third position. Ptomaine
poisoning was the cause of our play
ers being out of the nneup for?-a
few days, but they will all be abje
to get back in harness while the
club is at home..
With Kopp, Fuhr, Townsend and
Schinkel in good form, we should be
able to climb back in second place
in a few days and perhaps overhaul
the-leaders and take the van in the
race. A series of wins over' Oklaho
ma City starting with today's game
will help like a whole house-a-fire.
Should we get out in front before
the team leaves again, Manager Bill
Jackson promises that he will keep
the boys on their toes all the time
and. stay, there for the rest .of the
season. '
The two teams playing today will
line :.up as. follows:

Well, readers, I'm back and with
you again, having seen an epochr
making championship battle for, the
heavyweight title. Unlike others of
; my ilk, I do not try to excuse my
self or pan the loser because 1
picked the man on the wrong side
of the argument. I thought Wii
lard would keep Dempsey from land-.
' ing on a vulnerable spot for a time
at least and perhaps drop one of his
own deadly wallops on the challen
gers chin, but it was not. to be.
The new champion surprised Wif.
' lard, the fans present and the entire
world. . Ihe sudden onslaught ex
pected did not materialize. Jack
crowded in as any aggressive fighter
will, but not with a rush. Jess Tand-
eqrteteral-oiows'with no great ef
s fort" and "without force, but Jack re
taliated" with pile-drivirig rights to
the body. They didn't seem to hurt
wiilard. any, but suddenly, like a
bolt out of a clear sky, Dempsey's
lett hst hooked to the champion s
- chin and Wiilard crumpled in a heap.
That left hook won the fight for
Dempsey. Had it not landed, .the
story of the battle inight have been
different. I do not mean to imply
"that the blow that won was a lucky
punch. Far from it It was delib
erately planned weeks in advance:
Jack' had it all thought out. Wiilard
, would be looking for body punching
- and might leave his jaw unprotected
- long enough for a jaw punch deliv
, ered :with force enough to do the
world He did and it did. I told my
telegraph operator, at my aide, be
fore Willard's body had touched the
floor that ? Dempsey would win.; I
knew it as soon as I saw that hook
laird. - i' -x-, : -1
t- One of my predictions came true.
I stated .that it would . be. another
Papke-Ketchell affair, the man land
ing the first hard blow would win.
It it history now, but who will deny
that the winner was the -man- that
- landed the first solid punch? Pugil
ism, accordingly, has anew leader.
With all my admiration for the late
Bob Fittsimmons. whom I alwavs
declared the' greatest ring champion
ever known. I am of the opinion that
had Bob met Dempsey, as the new
champion is now. the present title
npiaer would ;win. ... tit is .beyond
doubt, the greatest champion the
world has ever seen.- He is as fast
as Corbett in his prime and a harder
nttter tnan itz, or old John L, .Sul
, tivan; i . -
With these other attributes: f
firmly believe that he can assimilate
as much punishment as Jeffries. He
is another Stanley Ketchell, only on
a larger scale, more powerful - and
greater correspondingly in size.
Ogden BaD Club After.

STECHER NOT IN
HOPES OF EARLY
CAD DOCK MATCH
Peerless Joe Thinks it Will Be
Several Months Before
He Gets Crack at
Title.
Fremont, Neb., July 8. Joe
Stecher hasn't much hope of getting
a match with Earl Caddock for
several months at least, according to
the Dodge wrestler who was . in
Fremont today, Joe says he talked
with Caddock at the Omaha match
July 4 but. the Iowa soldier-
wrestler claimed that he was in no
condition to re-enter the mat game
If he could get back- in condition
he would be ready for all comers,
Caddock, told Steelier.. Stecher
thinks the Iowan is in better con
dition than he tries to make people
believe.
Stecher said the Lewis head-lock
didn't bother him very much in their
Omaha mat bout. "I was in the best
of condition," Stecher said, and went
in aeierminea to maice up tor tne
showing against the Kentuckian
three-, years ago. Lewis was a strbn
ger man than when I met him the
first time but after I got him with
the scissors the first time he was
easier.
Stecher will take a lonir rest be
fore signing up for any more match
es. He says it is too hot to 'train.
Stecher looks for a bier revival in
the mat game along with other
sports. -

Gavvy Cravath Appointed
Manager of Philadelphia
Philadelphia. Tulv 8 rharUs C
Cravath. the hard-hittinc outfielder
better known to base ball fame as
"Gavvy," was today appointed man
ager of the Philadelphia National
league base ball team after an
nouncement was made by President
William F. Baker that John Coombs
nao resigned. Coombs said he hafl
been . informed by Baker Monday
night his 'services were no longer
required. The poor showing of the
Phillies this season was the cause
for the change in managers.
"Cravath is my manager as lphg"
as he lives," said Baker after to
day's game. "There is a man who
will be a success."
"I did everything that could be
done with the material I had at
my disposal," said Coombs. There
are weak spots in the club, and I
made suggestions for their strength
ening, not one of which was acted
upon. I have no complaint to make
as to Mr. Baker's decision that he
wanted another manager, but I do
object to his passing the buck to me
as the cause of his team's failure.
I have great respect for Cravath's
ability, but I don't think tie or any
body else ran win ball games with
the material I had." .
Baker's .letter acceotine Coomb's
resignation said:
in accepting ; your resignation
and giving you your release I Want
to express to you my sincerest re
gards. I regret very much that mat
ters have come so badly with ;the
club and know you Hid all W in
your power to win."

Rickard Authorizes Statement
That Attendance Was Be
tween 20,000 and 21,
000, Approximately.
Toledo, July 8. Gate receipts
of the Dempsey-Willard match July
4 were unofficially announced to
night at approximately $452,000.
The attendance, Promoter Tex Rick
ard said, was between 20,000 and
21,000.
These approximate figures were
authorized by Rickard because of
the delay in arriving at the official
attendance and receipts. Revenue
agents are checking up the figures
to determine the amount of war tax
due the government, and they prob
ably will not finish the task until
late tomorrow, v Promoter Rickard
left for New York tonight
The annoncement that the bout
drew only about 20,000 persons, less
than one-fourth of the seating ca
pacity of the arena, was a big sur
prise. Rickar.d . said that all of the
$60. seats were sold, and .that vitur,
ally all of the $50 seats were dis
posed of, but that the disappint
ment came in the sale of the cheap
est seats, which sold for $10.
Provision had been made to seat
between .35,000 and 4U.U00 persons
in the $10 seat sections, but only
about 5.000 seats were sold.
The Toledo charity fund will be
enriched by virtually $31,500 as a
result of the contest. The city re
ceived 7 per cent of the gross re
ceipts. Ther mohey will be us,ed in
endowing hospital beds for the poor
and taking children of the poor fam
ilies on summer vacation.
The government will receive near
ly $41,000 in war tax. .-
