rr 14 rtttt BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1920. ' ln it-.. 5 - DAN CUPID MAY TAKE BDRK FROM ROURKTOUTFIT Star Hurler's Wife Prefers Flatbush to Nebraska And Sandy May Not Report. Sandy Bark, who was Fa Rourke 'l beat hurling bet last year, threaten! to throw the local West- En League clob down flat this year, an Cupid is the reason. Last tall, it became known yes terday, Sandy felt the sting of Daniel's well-known darts. He mar ried a girl in Brooklyn, his home town. Also Sandy got a job with a tire company there and took a long lease on a furnished flat The bride doesn't care to leave Flatbush and the tire company job is not to be sneezed at, Sandy fig ures, because it lasts all the year round, even if it doesn't pay per month quite as well as professional base ball. ;" Offera Lure of Gold. Rourke is trying to lure Sandv T'! back into the fold with promises of much gold and bandy iswavenng. He still is undetermined, however, and has not promised to report for .- training. Pa wrote Sandy yester '' day for a decision one way or the """" other and he hopes to receive a favorable reply soon. i,v Pa has been having a lot of .hard luck trying to get talent to bolster up the Rourkes. The Omaha mag nate has 18 or 20 athletes under n contract and due to report at Ok- raulgee next week. As a'matter of fact he has enough athletes to as sure him of a good Western league , ball club,. But Pa isn't satisfied. He t. wants enough good ball players to make it certain his club will be a pennant contender. Sought Duke Reilly. Pa is particularly anxious to get one good outfielder. He tried to land Duke Reilly from the American association and the deal was com pleted when Salt Lake City refused to waive and the Duke, had to beaf ' it to the coast loop. 1 Pa1 also offered 1,500 kopecs for ;,-v Bruno Haas. Regular money, too. 't Then St- Paul coughed up $3,000 " and Bruno will not be among us this year. Pt"is still trying to figure out where St. Paul got ail the money and who the wild man is who put up the coin. Bruno is a good out fielder, but a big investment in him is liking tossing money to the bow wows as he no longer is a big league possibility and therefore offers no j ' returns except in playing ability. ! 4.jVBut the Omaha magnate has sev ,;"tral lines out and he expects to land several athletes, including an out ...i fielder, who will touch off his team . ,(, ,w to perfection. t , Starts South Tonight ,M 'Rourke leaves tonight for Okmul ".?.' tree, where the sprine traininar sea son starts Monday, tie will be ac companied by Charlie Brown, he Loman, la., catcher, and Walter Nu fer, who played second base for the ..Union Outfitters, last year's Class B amateur champs. Nufer is only a kid, but be is probably the most Jrotnising product the Omaha sand ots ever turned out. He is a little awkward imhis fielding, but he has an uncanny knack of getting every thing that comes his way. And he is a bear at bat, hitting curve and fall ball alike. Pa, Brown and Nufer will be Joined by Jack Lelivelt, the new manager of the Rourkes, at Kansas City. Four other athletes, who live in Kansas City, will continue to Ok mulgee with the Rourke party. The other athletes to whom transporta tion has been sent will nroeesd di rectly to the Oklahoma training camp.

Ringside, Coliseum, Toledo, March 12. Jimmy Wilde, of Eng land, "recognized fly weight boxing champion of Great Britain, Friday night decisively outpointed Frankie Mason of Fort Wayne, Ind., the American claimant of the title. Throughout the battle,, the plucky Briton was the aggressor. He car ried the fight in all but one round, the fifth. Two of the rounds were even, the fourth and tenth. The ring, which was 21 feet square, gave the little American plenty of room to jump away from the pressing Britisher. Mason started to bleed from the mouth early in the battle but he wore a smile of confidence while the little Briton from the time he entered the ring seemed set and determined. Time after time, Mason, when urged on by his enthusists, at tempted to break through the Brit isher's guard, but the plucky little Britofi dodged, feinted, shifted and retaliated with a right and left, chas ing the American about the ring. After the fight Referee Ed Smith declared never in his life had he seen any fighter whd was so willing to carry or mix matters as Wilde. Smith was of the opinion that it was a very even match, but declared on the rules of the commission he was not at liberty to announce the win SOLDIER TEAM IS BARRED BY SANDLOTTERS Manager of Fort Omaha Team Can't Get Berth in Ama teur League Issues Sweeping Challenge.' City amateur base ball league man agers engaged in a lively session last night in the city hall. After sev eral hours of wrangling the circuit was finally formed for the coming season. Shortly after the Nebraska Pow er company was awarded the sixth franchise in the league and things were running smoothly, Manager Mat Pascal of the Union Outfitting company, last season's champions of the league, announced that the Un ion Outfitting team would probably not be represented in the league and he resigned as manager of the teamq President trank Jacobs arrd other managers were ."stumped." Pascal announced that he has signed up with the Riggs Optical company team of the same league, as did four of the other players of last season's Union Outfitting' team. At this stage, F. T. King of the Fort Omaha team, who has been trying hard to get a franchise in the local leagues, applied for a fran chise in this circuit, as did the Pax-ton-Vierling team, members of last season's American league. Soldiers Barred. The Fort Omaha team was bar red from the Commercial league at their meeting held Wednesday night and was anxious to get in the City league. After a heated argu ment, a vote was finally taken, and the soldiers lost out again, when the City league managers voted in the Paxton-Vierlings, under the one condition that should the Union Outfitting company backers fail to put a team in the circuit. The Un ions still hiold the franchise. King issued a challenge to any team in the City league for any amount of money, but his challenge was not accepted. "It looks strange that a soldier team cannot get in any of these leagues," said King. "We have just as good a team as any one in the city and are willing to live up to all the rules and regulations." Award Franchises. Franchises were awarded the fol lowing teams:1 Nebraska Power company, H. R. Bowens, Riggs Op tical company, McCaffrey Motor company, Union Stock Yards and the , Paxton-Vierlings, the latter team taking the franchise of the Union Outfitters in case the latter fail to put a team in the league. The Power company team, man aged by Joe Moran, the well amateur base ball manager, entered the league under the condition that Chris Kemmy would be allowed to play. After a vote was taken, tho managers decided to allow Kemmy to play with the Powers for the coming season.
