The Main Event.
The final event is a 10-round bout
between Frankie Callahan of Co

country for many a day and the fact
that he is under the wjng of Emil
Thierry, the man who brought out
Packy McFarland, is sufficient to in
sure him a host of followers. Ketchel

pocket addition of the late Stanley
Ketchel. He is exceptionally fast and

JACK LELIVELT
OMAHA MANAGER
FOR NEXT YEAR
Pa Rourke Buys Veteran Ma
jor League Player From Mil
lers to Replace Jackson
In Handling Team.
MM. I
Chicago, Dec. 19. Jack Lelivelt,
veteran major league and American
association base ball player, has
been obtained from the Minneapolis
club to manage the Omaha Western
league team next year, Bill Rourke
announced here today. Lelivelt reg
ularly was a .300 hitter in the 'major
leagues and continued that stride
after foot trouble drove him into the
American association.
Owner "Pa". Rourke signed Leli
velt to manage the Rourkes for the
season of 1920 on Thursday, pro
viding the other seven clubs in the
American association would' grant
waivers on him. The waivers were
granted Friday and Lelivelt became
the property of the Omaha ball club.
Professional Ten Years. ,
The local magnate has made a
ten-strike in securing the services of
Lelivelt, who has been playing pro
fessional ball for 10 years. He
started in the old International
league and went to Washington in
the American league, going to
Cleveland in a trade. An injury to
his leg forced him back to the Amer
ican association. He has played in
the latter loop for the past five
years.
During all his time in professional
base ball Lelivelt has failed but once
in hitting over the .300 mark. In
1917, while with Louisville in the
American association, he fell short
but twp points, batting for .298. He
was in the International league but
one year, with Washington two
years, Cleveland two years, Kansas
City two years, Louisville two years
and Minneapolis one year.
Bought Burke Outright.
With Lelivelt "Pa" Rourke bought
Bill Weidell, the snappy shortstop
of the Miller's crew, and Sandy
Burke, who pitched a number of
games for the locals in 1919. Sandy
was sold to Omaha last year with
an optional string on him. Rourke
announces that he has beught him
outright for the coming season.
In adding these three players to
his roster and holding someof the
stars of last year's Rourkes, the lo
cal owner shouuld have a well bal
anced club in the field to open the
1920 season.

' WASHINGTON, D. C.
THE U. S. SENATE now looks like the Mack. Sennett While there
are no bathing girla in this Chamber of Oratorical Horrors, it still
has the edge on the soviet senate, which lacks bathing men.
The absence 'of beautiful surf gazelles is balanced by the barrage of
larngeal pies that the Sennetters sling at each other.
When one Sennetter staffs in chirping in a neat lemon merinque man
ner, another bird slaps him in the Sennettorial mush with a loosely baked
custard speech. In rebuttal the first bird smothers him with a platter of
deep dish huckleberry pastry, seasoned with wise cracks and served with
appropriate gestures.
In spite of strikes and things, business in this peace treaty abbatoir
swings along with the regularity of the pendulum on an eight-day clock.
A pendulum being an institution that does a lot of traveling but never
gets anywhere. The peace treaty and the coal situation are the headliners
this winter in the vaudeville branch of congress.
The coal job is easy. The Sennetters will chatter about it until spring
flaps in and ice takes up the running in the poor man's relay race. . '
i, i r
Some Sennetter will buzz for hours in a limpid, clear voice, filtered
through a set of pearl gray whiskers. Then another bird will rise to
his class SA arches and spill a scrambled line of shillabering that wanders
like a Saturday Evening Post story through the advertising pages. He
never gets anywhere. Which is the logical destination for a bird who
never started from anywhere in the first place.
In the old days of continuous vaudeville there used to be dumb acts
that were called chasers and supper acts. They got rid of the crowd by
putting on a juggler, contortionist or a Swiss bellrirtger. The movies have
developed a new actor. He is a cooler. When the movie machine gets red
hot, they send out the cooler to play the xylophone or clog himself bow-legged.

The Sennett is loaded with coolers. After the big guys talk 'emselves
sour, the coolers chirp, like sparrows after a storm. They don't say much,
but they say it often, and they will fill in until Tommy Edison invents a
graphophone needle that doesn't need resharpening. ' .
The peace treaty is slightly tougher, like a vulcanized eclair. The pies
the Sennetters toss in this act are primed with cement. The chaplain
of the senate concludes the opening prayer with "Amend, brothers,
amena.
And the Sennetters start right in to amend.
They sewed codicils on to the original treaty until it looks 'like a
crazy quilt in the moulting season. The Senrtett can sure shuffle all the
spots off the cards. It's a fortunate thing that Jefferson wrote the chirp
of independence before the Sennett was organized. 'Otherwise, it would
now look like the catalogue for a mail order house. Couldn't tell whether
it is an order or a complaint.
The treaty has been traveling between the White House and the Sen
nett' until it begins to look like a commutation ticket on the 29th of the
month. Woody read it, subtracts a few additions, signs it and sends it to
the Sennett. '
The Sennett sends it back marked "no funds."
Woody signs it again and it comes back chalked "account overdrawn."

The next time it doesn't reach the Sennett The watchman stops it at
the Sennett door and signs "Nobody Home." Plenty correct.
The fourth time, it is stopped by the postal authorities and sent back
to Woody, finally, Woody hands it to the messenger and the messenger
hands it right back. It s one of those shuttle treaties. Woody was getting
along well with the Sennett until this peace business. When treaties
fly in the door, love flies out of the window.
" 1 " hi-
Woody is getting along fine now, being way, ahead of his ticket.
There are still four physicians at the White House, who take turns in
teeling Woody s pulse and carrying the treaty back to the Sennett.

Harvard Suggests Names of
Two Men for Game Officials
Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 19. Har
vard university suggested to the foot
ball committee of the Tournament
of Roses at Pasadena, Cal., under
whose auspices the inter-sectional
gaire between the University of
Oregon and Harvard elevens will
be played on New Year's day, the
names of two men as officials for
the contest , The men are A. G.
Van Surdan, formerly of Wesleyan,
and D. W. Merriman, an official in
Pennsylvania games for 12 years.
Neither, it was said, has ever served
in any Harvard game. Both are
planning to be in Pasadena on Jan
uary 1. Van Surdan and Merriman
are familiar with the style of play
on eastern 'and midwestern grid
irons. Fred W. Moore, graduate
manager of athletics at Harvard, ex
plained that it was for this reason
they were suggested.

PAL MOORE ASKS
THAT WILDE BE
DELAYED IN U. S,
Anxious That English Pugilist
Be in New York When He
Gets Back From j
England.
By JACK VEIOCK.
International News Sportlnf Editor.
New York, Dec. 19. Little Jimmy
Wilde won't pine for action while on
this side of the pond if he listens to
the mutterings of Pal Moore, Joey
Lynch, Frankie Burns and .others.
Pete Herman, heing the champ, is
not demanding a match with Wilde,
but there is little doubt in the minds
of those who know Herman that he
expects to measure wallops with the
little Englishman before Jimmy
boards a sea-going hack for home.
None of the American crop of ban
ties, with the exception pi Moore and
Lynch, know anything about Wilde
except hearsay, but they are all will
ing to learn from actual contact.
Many of them, no doubt, will be sad
der but wiser after they meet Wilde
for we understand Jimmy really
means to do some regular, cam
paigning and dough-reaping on this
side.
Moore, of the whole shebang, is
the most eager. Pal says that having
met Jimmy twice in his own back
yard and come away once with the
loser's end of the decision he is
tickled to death, to have Wilde on
this side, and he' implores everyone
to do" all they can to keep Jimmy
until he, Moore, can get another
crack at the Briton.
Meanwhile, Pal has crossed the
pond to meet Charley Ledoux.
"I must say that I am some in
terested in Wilde," said Moore re
cently, "more so than ever, perhaps,
because of his arrival in America.
On two occasions I made the trip
to London for the purpose of 'play
ing in his back yard, and like a good
kid I didn t get mad when I got
the worst of it, and it now gives me
pleasure to welcome him to my
back yard, and I hope I will have
the pleasure of entertaining him be
fore his return to England.
