, ... , Smn Diego, Jan. 7. James W. Cof
, froth, whose offer of $400,1)00 for a
U match between Jack Dempsey,
world's heavyweight! champion, and
' Georges Carpentier, European cham
pion,. 'has been accepted, according
to press dispatches by Carpentier's
"manager, Deschamps, cabled to
Charles j. Harvey, Jits agent in Lon
don, to get in communication with'
Carpentier. and Deschamps at once
and learn their plans..
Site Selected.
- Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 7. Tia
Juana, Mex., will get the Dempsey
2 Carpentier fight," said Jack Yearns,
Z manager for the world's champion,
Z when advised today by The Asso
v ciated Press of Georges Carpentier's
m conditional acceptance of Promoter
X Coffroth's offer. Kearns said he
- would prepare a further statement
;! shortly.
Kearns, Dempsey and Coffroth
said they favored July 4 as the fight
date and all expressed satisfaction
- with Georges Carpentier's accept
2 ance of Coffroth's' offer. They said
they would agree to Carpentier's
suggestion for limiting the fight to
2 15 rounds. '
Favor ' Fifteen Rounds.
"The 15-round limit set by Des
champs is O. K. with me," Kearns
aid. "Personally, I do not believe
the fight will last much longer than
-one round. Six would suit Dempsey
nd me just as well as IS.
"I feel that there should be a win--ner's
and loser's end of the purse,
."and belie $300,000 to the winner
and $100,000 to the loser is fair.
-Descamps. wants the purse split
'Z 50-50; maintaining that Carpentier
is as good a drawing card as
m Dempsey. ' " -
' "That may be, but whether or
-not he is as good a fighter is the
2 question. The French people are
J good sports. Now let Carpentier
and Deschamps take a sportsman's
chance; but the splitting of Mhe
-.purse will not hold up the fight.
Coffroth told me that Dempsey
, -and Carpentier could split the mov
. Zig picture money 50-50. Moving
pictures of the show will be more
valuable than any other ever held
' on account of the international as-
-pect."'- V
Z Dempsey was less concerned with
the financial aspects. "Just think,
Jack," said the champion, "we'll not
;. Juave to take another long, tiresome
-train ride. With our picture over
JL'm March all we'll have to do is to
. start work for the Frenchman."
Z Jy Probable Date.
Promoter Coffroth talked over they
wJong distance telephone with the
.os Angeles Express today. "Al
though I cannot give out any infor
."nation regarding the date until I
get word from Deschamps, I believe
-July 4 is the ideal one," said Coff
Zfoth. "Independence day has always
beeu' a banner date for holding "bat
tles' for the heavyweight crown, and
l'm very strong for it."
Tia Juana is across the internationa
"boundary below San Diego in Lower
California, Mexico. The town itself
-is a village supported largely by
tourists in search ofv curios and
.ames of chance. Coffroth has a
t race track there. Two railroad lines
and an automobile, road lead into
Tia Juana fromthe United States.
. Coffroth has announced he prob
ably will build an arena for the

. stoms and, law believe Governor
jEsteban Cantu of Lower California
ji'ill not interfere with thefight
Deschamps Accepts.
T Paris, Jan. 7. Georges Carpentier
TlVd Jck Dempsey will probably

ship f the world as a result of the
acceptance, Tuesday night, by Des-"
champs, manager for Carpentier, of
;n offer of a $400,000 purse for the

' Jia,s ' already accepted Coffroth's
cfms, and all that remains .to en
iurc the meeting of the two pug
. ."Jlists is the settlement of the num
ber of rounds the men will fight and
m Hhc-division of the purse.
7 Coffroth's offer was for a bout
Jioing 45 rounds, but objection to a
.Tight of this length is expressed in
Jhe Carpentier camp. Carpentier
Vould rather have the fight limited
'Jto 15 rounds or even 10. Deschamps
-declared last night that if the issue
Is not settled in less than 15 rounds
neither Dempsey nor Carpentier is
-worthv to be champion of the
"vorld." . . ..
It was indicated Deschamps would
ask for an even break of the purse,
.holding Carpentier was as great a
drawing card as Dempsey. ' ,

uad Training for
Game With Central
Sqi
With two defeats registered
against them the South Side High
school, under the. supervision of
Coach James Patton went through
a day of grueling in preparation for
the South High-Central game. The
Packers lost the first game of the
season to the alumni quintet and
the second to Coach White's cage

The South Side-Central gamejs
considered the toughest battle of

large score.
As yet Coach Patton is undecided
as to who will represent the school
on Friday when his quintet battles
Central High. A strong battle is
being waged between Ackerman
and Hodgen as to who will play
forward. Both men are putting up
a strong fight.

WE'RE all' sitting around looking dilub without much effort. It's a
gift with most of lis. The bankroll looks like a soupbone after a
bloodhound's banquet The checkbook has turned sour on the bank's
stomach. By the time we do some fat on the B. R. along will come the
income tax and pick it clean like a buzzard on a fish head.
Just when the old man is figuring in loose nickels and tight dimes and
wondering how'he can ease by the landlord without wearing blinders,
along comes F,arl Grey and knocks off the U. S. treasury for 13,000,000,000
smackers. There's too many commas in that sum. They ought to be
more decimal points.
Can you make it? Just 13,000,000.000. Or are there too many quoits in
that amount for your one-cipher skull to figure out? -
, It's a staggering sum. Which illustrates how ,the price of wood al
cohol and other week-end drinks have jumped. Five years ago you could
stagger for 55 cents and an extra snifter on the cuff. If you don't think
that wood alcohol is a great week!end drink, try one on Tuesday. Your
week will end right there. Right there. ,
Only thirteen billion. Only thirteen billion. We like to roll that over
on our tongues. We'd rather roll it over in our pockets.
Sweet cookies! How those can borrow money.
Hands across the sea.
They come over empty.
And go back filled.
, The most money we ever had in our life is when we swatted a royal
flush on a nickel machine. The works turned inside out like a dollar um
brella in a million-dollar gale. We got two quarts of nickels and didn't
have enough pockets to park 'em in. -Had to put some in our ears. But
13,000,000,000. It doesn't seem enough. Why not throw in the liberty
bell and call it a day?
Let's repeat that for the benefit of the folks who arrived late. Zowiel
Only 13.000,000,000 buttons. But what difference do all those 000,000,000,
000,000,000's make? After the first two or three your bean gets numb.
There's nine ciphers in thirteen billion. We could drown in dne of . 'em.
Thirteen billion is a cipher jag. It looks like a nine-cajfreight train
loaded with crullers. We'd like to be riding in the caboose on that train.
A sum like that would make an adding machine explode with the heat.
Uncle Sam has loaned the Greeks and Whoozis-Slovaks about fifty
million each. Belgium has nicked us for three hundred million. France
is under our skin for three billion and England has us by the short hair
for another four billion. Italy is in our hide for a couple of loose billions
and Russia owes us two hundred million Russian style. Which means
that we will get ft when the ocean dries up and it will be safe to hunt
whales on foT Serbia, Roumania, Cuba and Liberia all borrowed millions
on the cuff. Alcuff maBces a poor account book. Send 'em to the laundrv
and all a certified accountant could find would be what the Chink left of
the button hole. j -
All those foreigners have nicked us for pin money. And nobody ever
knows what becomes of the pins. A Yank has a tough time borrowing
velvet from his own government. Money talks. And it's learninc everv
language but American. '
We don't know what kind of oil was used bv Earl Grev in draeein?
Woody loose from thirteen billion! Those babies think that the flag of the
U. S. is a pawn check. x -
The idea of borrowing all those ciphers is to put Europe on its feet
again. But why put those feet on our neck? Every ambassador that
Europe has sent over here in the last four years has been a guy who can
borrow money on checks. The only way we can get even with 'em is to
take Christmas Keogh out of jail and give him the next job at St. James.
Of course, we had a war. And when you shimmy you must pay the
fiddler.
But why pay the whoje darned orchestra?
GREATER OMAHA NATIONAL HEftD
LEAGUE OPENS OF COMMISSION
WITH FAST GAME MAY NOT RESIGN
Three Speedy Contests Fea
ture Class A First Night;
Townsends Win From
' The Bowens.
Ushering in the 1920 amateur bas
ket ball season in the Greater Oma
ha league, the class A circuit at the
Young Men's Christian association
last night, the H. R. Bowens and tke
Townsend Gun company quintets
had the honor of staging the first
extra period contest in amateur bas
ket ball circles this season.
After one of the hardest fought
and most interesting'games seen on
the "Y" floor, and played before
a crowd estimated at nearly 500, the
Bowens, under the coaching of Gus
Miller, won from the Gunners by the
core of 26 to 21, through the re
markable teamwork and perfect
basket shooting of Root, right for
ward, . and Art Bromely, left for
ward, who divided the honors in the
score column. However. Root's five
points in the extra 5-minute period
were responsible for the Furniture
lads' victory.
Tied the Score. - v.
Coming from behind in the last
half, with the score 14 to 9 against
them the Townsends put up a game
fight, and with but 5 seconds to
play, Allen, left forward, shot a field
goal from practically the center of
the floor on a dead run and tied the
score.
However, in the extra period, the
Bowens played the Townsends off
their feet; although the Gunners had
several chances the stars failed to
deliver.
Although the Omaha National
Banks defeated the Beddeos by the
score of 20 to 16, the Beddeos out
played the Banks, but were unfor
tunate in shooting the baskets, the
ball refusing to drop'safe. The Bed
deos, although they lost, deserve
plenty of credit for the fight they
put up against a team much heavier
and players who have participated
on former championship teams. The
Clothiers lived up to their reputa
tion as "speed artists" and displayed
plenty of pep throughout the entire
contest. "Monk" Manske was the
chief basket shooter for the Banks,
whjle the all-round playing of the
Beddeos featured for that team. .
Commerce Beats South.
Commerce High school quintet de
feated the South Omaha High in a
exciting contest by the score of 25
lo 18, taking the lead in the first
few minutes of play. Although the
game was hard fought, South High
lacked the "old fight," while Com
merce, properly rained by Coach
Drummond, displayed plenty of pep.
Tonight at the "Y" the Church
league teams will entertain the lov
ers of basket ball, the opening con
test starting at 7:30 o'clock.
L'angtry Places Illinois
: , In Lead in Bowling States
When Pin Smashers Gather at Peoria on March 10
It Will Mark the Fourth Time That State En
tertained the Alley Men.
By A. L. LANGTRY,
Secretary American Bowline CongTesa,
The grat bowling state of Illinois
has had the honor of entertaining
the bowling hosts on three different
occasions and when the evening of
March iw. ivju, rolls around thev
will make' their fourth bow as hosts
at Peoria, HI., which is the second
time the bowlers have picked the
hustling little city in the "Heart of
Illinois."
The first American bowling con
gress ever held was in Chicago dur
ing the winter of 1901 and the entry
boasts of 41 teams, 'being bowled
across six new alleys, and was quite
an event for the times.
The bowlers did not return to Illi
nois for several years, or, to be ex
act, until Chicago extended another
invitation in 1912 and the first big
tournament was held; that is, the
first tournament with over 500 teams.
The entry jumped to 596 teams and
was heralded the world over as the
greatest collection of athletes that
had ever been held.
During the spring of 1915 the
bowlers visited Peoria, 111., for the
first time and the tournament, was a
grand success, with an entry of 513,
and- during the month of March
1920, they will again go to Peorin,
Snd if indications are not deceptive
the entrv will run close to the 7(X
mark, establishing a new entry for
tournaments in the state of Illinois
. The winners that Illinois has pro
duced have been so Inumerous that
k would take many pages to re
count the prowess of their bowling
product.
Backed by Jim O'Leary.
As far back as tournaments go
they started their championship
pranks, and the Standards of Chi
cago clipped off 2,729, which was
sufficient at that time to win the
world's championship.
In 1903 the great O'Leary team,
backed by the old time sporting
man, Jimv O'Leary, won the tourna
ment at Indianapolis with a good
score of 2819 and were the favorites
in bowling for many years after
wards. Captain Aaaon of baseball fame
was the pilot of the 1904 winners at
Cleveland, and he also had a classy
team of bowlers, but they faded out
of existence long netore tne
O'Learys, who kept up their gait of
near champions for several years
after they won the championship.
Chicago again produced a cham
pionship team in 1905 at the Mil
waukee tournament in the Gunthers
No. 2 team. The Gunther No. 1
team was the pick of Chicago, to
gether with the. Ansons, and the
O'Learys, all of whom were in
their prime, but the castoffs on the
No. 2 team walked away with the
bacon.
At the Louisville tournament in
1906. another Chicago team won the
championship, in the Century team,
and then their streak trf five-men
teams as winners was broke in 1907
by the Grand Rapids team, together
with- 1908' at Cincinnati", which
proved a bad year for the Chicago
five-men teams, as the Bonds of Co
lumbus won the champiopship.
However, they" came back in 1909
at Pittsburgh, yvhen the great Lip
.man team turned in a new record
score of 2,962, 'and it was a real up-to-the-minute
classy team of bowl
ers. Lipman kept the team in the
field several years after their win
ning streak, and while they were al
ways in the running still they never
repeated.
At Detroit in 1910 the Cosmo
team of Chicago copped the championship-with
an easy score of 2,880,
tailing almost a hundred pins below
the Lipman's score of the previous
year, but it was good enough to win
that year.
At St. Louis in 1911 the Flenner's
of Chicago turned in a champion
ship score of 2,924, and it vas a fair
ly good teatu which Bill Flenner
had picked and sent to the national
tournament.
Forla few years after the St. Louis
tournament the Chicago five-men
team did not shine at the tourna
ments, as at Chicago iff" 1912, the
Brunswick of New York walked
away with the championship, and
they had a team that was considered
the championship team of the world
with Koster. Ridell. Horton. Dunbar
?iand Lindsey, which was the pick of
oowiers east ot the Allegheny moun
tains and represented the entire city
of New York. It was a wonderful
team, but they went the way of all
contender" each year.
other picked teams, and when they4 m,,i, j t
d,d not repeat at Toledo in 1913 1 Murphy and Gilbert Draw.
they broke up and were never heard
ot together again.
In 1915 at Peoria a sterling team

William Fox Says He
Made $550,000 Bid
For Big Title Scrap
New York, Jan. 7. Following
announcement that Georges Car
pentier had accepted the offer
of James Coffroth for a battle with
Jack Dempsey in this country, the
statement was made here by Wil
liam Fox, motion picture producer,
that he had made an offer aggre
gating $550,000 for the bout. His
proposition has not yet been ac
cepted. Fox said he had offered Dempsey
$300,000 and 35 per cent of the gate
receipts if he won, or 15 -per cent
if he lost, with the stipulation that
the other half be divided among the
Red Cross of the United States,
Canada,- England, Australia and
France.
His proposal to Carpentier. it waH
said by Fox, was $125,000 for the
bout, together with the equivalent
of what he would lose by the can
cellation of his vaudeville contracts.
which was estimated at an equal
amount. The offer in regard to gate
receipts was the same as that made
to Dempsey.
Mr. Fox said he telegraphed Jack
Kearns, manager for Dempsey,
Monday night and sent a repre
sentative from Los Angelesto see
him, but that he had received no,
reply. '

Men Out for Stiff Drill
Although Coach Drummond of
the High School of Commerce ex
pressed great" confidence in his quin
tet winning the game from Arling
ton, Neb., Friday evening, he sent
his men through a hard scrimmage
practice, yesterday afternoon against
the second team.
To make the men fight through
out the game the coach divided the
first and second teams int6 two and
made them play the game out as
they would if they were playing a
class A quintet.
Decision of the eligibility of Ex
Captain Lewis Camero was a great
victory for the team as they de

W! CATARRH
ALWAYS COMES
WITH Wl
IfY WINTER
Nature Gives a Cry for Help
That Will Make This Winter
a. Season of. Good Health
W for You.
Winter and Catarrh are eompan-
ions in evil.' Catarrh is sweeping
civilization from one continent to
another, because civTlitation does not
follow Nature's laws. Nature tells
us what to do and we pay no heed.
Down deep in the body of man
lie streams of blood, going every
where and making a complete cir
cuit of the body every few seconds.
In these rivers, brooks and stream
lets of blood flow millions of little
soldiers called corpuscles,, whose
duty it is to heal hurts, expel the
enemies of man germs from, the
body and carry away impurities. '
Nature, with the blood, builds
bone and hair and teeth and flesh.
She does this so quickly and with
such absolute perfection that if we
put into our mouths and stomachs
the things the body needs, nature
will distill her own chemicals and
build up any torn-down portions.
Catarrh is a tearing down of mu
cous membranes. A mucous mem'
brane is one of the wonders of sci
ence. It does the important work
of the body in some lines. When
it becomes diseased you quickly have
the alarm from nature. Catarrh, in
most cases, first warns us from
condition of the nose and throat.
These membranes cannot do their
work. They become clogged. Im
purities, form and choke them. De
cay starts, unpleasant odors arise,
gradually it spreads util the mem
brane is almost worthless. Then
we learn the fault is with the blood.
There is too much work for the cor
puscles to do not enough to do it.
They need help.'
Placing salves and lotions in the
nose and taking pills, powders and
purgatives will not give nature what .
she' needs. She changes the chemU

STORIES ABOUT PIATC AND PLAYERS
When it comes to a passage at
arms, George Moriarty, American
league umpire, is able to' take care
of himselt. Wheq it comes' to a bat
tle of wits, Moriarty Heed not take
a back seat for any. athlete with
whom he comes into contact.
One day last summer a star pitch
er in the American league objected
to the wajj George was calling balls
and strikes. It seems this pitcher,
who is a southpaw and a real star,
seemed to be under the impression
that he vas throwing jiothing but
strikes. Moriarty seemed to think
most of the balls he delivered did not
come up to the strike regulations
as contained in the ruje book. The
pitcher won his game, but had noth
ing to be proud over.
The next afternoon as we came
from our dressing room to the bench
to start the game the star pitcher
v.as the first player we bumped into.
He was still fussing over the day
before.
"You certainly had a bad day of
it yesterday" remarked the pitcher
to Moriarty.
"I might say that I had the' same
opinion about you," was Moriarty's
curt reply.
"You didn'J give me a corner alt

"I thought the boys hit all those
you managed to get even close to
the corners," answered Moriarty.
"You missed at least 14 strikes on-
me, continued the pitcher, who re
fused to be denied.
Somebody must have told you
that, you can't count that far," was
Moriarty's comeback that carried a
punch. Fof a moment it went over
the pitcher's head, then he grasped
it, and had it not been for a whole
some respect that he had for Mori
arty's fistic prowesj. I might, have
been compelled to turn referee, then
and there.
