THE BEE: OMAHA. MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1920. CALIFORNIA TO TRY TO HAMPER DEMPSEY BOUT Governor Stephens Says He Will Use All His Power' to Prevent the Match. Sacramento, Cal., Jan. 11. Gor ernor Stephens of California an nounced today that he would ak the federal government at Washington to impose passport restrictions that would prevent the proposed world' championthip bout between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier at Tia Juana, Lower California, Mex ico, just across the border line from California. ' Governor Stephens' statement fol lows: "According to press dispatches, it is proposed that a prize fight .be tween Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier shall be held in Tia Juana, jnst across the Mexican bor der. The negotiations and plans are going forward in a large part within the state ct California in disrespect to the law thereof. It is planned to step across the border and there consummate something that is un lawful within our state and thus cir cumvent our statutes. -"It is my duty to command re spect for the laws of Californiar- I shall, therefore, feel obliged, if nec essary, to make protest to the fed eral government and request that it exercise its powers of regulation and control of the international boan . dary so as to prevent the holding of this contest. "The people of California have re fused to tolerate the evil influences ' growing out of pugilistic encounters and have declared them to be un lawful. Those intolerable influences would be the same I if the contest were held in Tia Juana as if held is San Diego or elsewhere in our Hate. "Under normal international rela tions a protest on the part of this country to the Mexican government against anything near the boundary hue that would be offensive to the people, of California would undoubt edly be effective. Inasmuch as no such diplomatic relations exist, I shall appeal to our federal govern ' ment to employ its authority at the i lorder line so as to make impos- sible this defiance of the law of California." ii i c - Base Ball Also Affected w By High Cost of Living The "recent sal of "Babe" Ruth to the Yankees recalls to the minds of old-time fans big deals that star tled the base ball world in, former years.

They reserved a coop at the Empire, where Ethel Barrymore is playing "Class D" or some other minor league thing. The management had pulled up the Persian rugs and covered the crate with sawdust, but no egg could feel at home in a place where he didn't have to watch his hat or overcoat. Ethel wpuld be a wonderful actress if she ever let out and took a full swing. She is the best female impersonator in the Barry more family. , , , . 1 She plays the part of a lady who flirts with all her husband's friends and then plays the telephone book for an encore. At the conclusion of the third act she showed the eggs a new stunt in dodging the bar check. Demon Runyon tried it at Jack's the same night, but took a flopper. ..thel had youth and beauty in her favor. Among the other eggs who rubbed shells in the crate party were Arthur Robinson, Egg MacCullough, Sid Mercer and Tammany Young, who-can cut his hair more different ways than any movie actor in the profession. We hated to pipe Ethel in "Class D." She belongs in the majors. WESTERN CNION BOWLIMi IJSAGl'E. Team Htamiing Men. Won. Lost. Construction 30 lfl Plant 18 1!

That ! is generally admitted. Yet for five or six years pitchers have been getting away will aii kinds of "mystery stuff." What a yell wou'd go up, if the batters doctored their bats to increase their chances cf not only ititincr the ball, but having it go safe. It is possible to do such a thing, yet never would the batters get away with stuff that resembled trickery. Major league catchers seldom fail to scan the bats used by dangerous hitters. Time and time again after some good hitter has come through with a cracking hit, I have seen the catcher pick his bat up, look over it carefully and then toss it away. It seems that catchers are always a bit suspicious about the good hitters. hvidently they figure the good hitter is as liable to try to increase his ef fectiveness with some trickery, as did a lot of pretty good pitchers. Several years ado George Sisler ot the St. Louis Browns was on a wild batting rampage. No pitcher seemed able to stop him. He was leading the league with an average well over .400. Sisler is naturally a great hit ter. He is a hard man to fool. Add to this his speed, and be makes it interesting for the pitcher and the fielders anv time he comes t the bat. No catcher in the American league is more observing than Ray Schalk of the Chicago White Sox. in a game after Sisler had made, a ccuple of hits, Scha!k walked over to where he had thrown his bat. He picked yt up, gave it the once over, a-id then a knowing smile came over his counte nance. Walking over to wticre I was tandine he handed me the bat and remarked: "Perhaps that bat will ex plain why we can't get Sisler out." At the part of the bat where con tact with the ball is most desired, to get the pill safe, it was studded with perhaps 50 fine steel nails. Over this surface was rubbed something LADIES' that had a tendency to blacken the bat and conceal to a great extent the nails. Schalk was positive a trick bat was assisting Sisler in his hitting. I was a bit suspicious myself, as it was apparent the great number of nails driven in such a small place un doubtedly caused tiiat portion of the bat to be considered loaded with a foreign substance, steel, and it seemed such a point of contact ought to cause the ball to travel harder and further than mere wood. Sisler mere ty smiled and explained it was his favorite bat, that the grain in the bat at that point Had began to separate, and to save the bat he had used the fine steel nails. I was satisfied the explanation was a truthful one, but was compelled to rule the bat out. Sisler didn't object, went over to the bench, selected another bat, and made a three-base hit. That evening the story went over the country that Sisler had been using a trick bat, heavily loaded with steel nails. Had Sisler" fallen off in his hitting it would have been regarded as conclu sive evidence it was tile bat, not Sis ler, who was responsible for the hn ling. I was glad when he continued hitting at a -100 clip, without the al leged trick bat, as I felt Sisler had sought no advantage through trick try. He isn't that type qf a player. However, it would be possible for a player to do all kinds qf freak things with the bats, such as loading them, flattening them at certain points of contact, and many other things too numerous to mention. Such an act would not be tolerated for a minute, so why should the trick ball be able to get by? Frenchman Is Victor. Philadelphia, Jan. 11.

Dear Sir: We noticed with much surprise a recent article in your valued columns that the Tarn O Shanter had been proclaimed the champion curling team for this sea son and thereby claiming the J. L. Kennedy cup. t We wish -to state they have no claim whatever to either cup or championship as they have not yet met and defeated the Balmorals, last year's champions and present holders of tjxt Kennedy cup. The Balmorals were scheduled to play last Sunday at 1:30, the usual time set for play ing their game as one of the mem bers is unable to play in the fore noon. To their surprise the Bal morals were told they had lost their osme bV default as they stiouid have appeared in the morning. (A wonder ful display of sportsmanship.) ) Now if the Tarn O'Shanters desire a clear title to the cup and champion ship, the Balmorals will play them next Sunday or any other Sunday afternoon they may name. If the Balmorals do not have their tun team they will play anyway and allow the others to play all their men. , Trusting you will give this the same publicity accorded the games of last Sunday, we are very truly yours, , THE BALMORALS. (Signed) Robert S. Melvin, skip per; George Anderson, second skip per; W. Rennie, Robert Malcolm. To the Sporting Editor of The Bee Dear Sir: In the curling con test for the Malcolm cup to be played Sunday for the finals, R. Tracy is slated to play Watoom, claiming I have deaulted to him, but I wish to say I have been on hand each Sunday afternoon when called, and stand ready at any time to play Tracy, as he cannot meet for the finals until he has defeated me. ' I wish to add that the Omaha Curl ing club is certainly trying to hand me a raw deal both as regards the play for the Malcolm and also the Kennedy cup. Trusting you will publish this let ter, I am yours very truly, ROBERT MELVIN. . DeWitt Defeats Tobias. Beatrice. Neb., Jan. 11. Special.)
