The contests in the Churcli league Thursday night at the Young Mail's ' Christian assoriafion gymnasium will mark the closing of the 1920 amateur cage season in local circles. Although a number of the teams have forfeited their games in the ('reater Omaha, Commercial and Church leagues during the latter part of the season, this season has heen the greatest in the history of the local leagues, aqcording to the officials in charge. The attendance at the games in all three of the leagues has been greater than in former years and the interest has been at high pitch. In the Greater Omaha league the Omaha National bank, pennant win , nets, met defeat twice during the last half of the schedule. The Town send (inn company and the Bowens were the fortunate teams in scoring victories over the bankers. Forfeited Game to Banks. The Townsends were scheduled to play the Ganks last week, hut for feited th eganre. Had the gunners played and won the league would have ended in a tie between the Rankers and the "Bowens for first honors. Probably the bardest fought race in any of the leagues was in the Commercial league, the University of Omaha Reserves finally taking first place, but only after a hard light -between the Young Men's Herbrew association and the Coun cil Bluffs High Reserves. The race between these three quintets was a neck-to-neck contest throughout the season and was decided on the clos ing night of the schedule. The Pearl Memorials, Church league pennant winners, had little opposition during the season, losing but one game thus far, while their nearest rivals, the First M.! F..'s, lost four. By winning over the. First M. E.'s last week the Pearls copped the flag and can afford to lose Thurs day night's game to the Calvary Baptists, but Manager George Par ish says his" team will fight just as hard. In Low Position. "The -Council Bluffs Christians, last season's pennant winners of the league, faijed to live up to the championship fame and are down in the cejlar position with 11 games lost. For the past three weeks they have forfeited their games. ' Thursday night, the Benson M. F..'s, who were scheduled to play the C. B. Christians, will play the Benson High school team at the Y instead, as they have been award ed a forfeit from the Christian quin tet. The Benson M. E.-lligh game shocld prove interesting as consid erable rivalrv exists between them. Physical Director N. J. Weston announced yesterday that the cham pionship series, which has proved one of the big cards in former years, have been called off this season, on account of the teams not wishing to take part. However, it is planned to form indoor base ball leagues, probably starting next week, to take the place of the championship cage contests, according to Weston. The athletic committee will meet to night to make final plans. A big basket ball party for the members of the Church league will probably be held next week. Kinney Defeats Diamond. Ord.

By JAMES CRUSINBERR. Pasadena, Cal., March 21. Con trasting their experiences this spring with those of previous training trips to the Pacific coast, Chicago's Cubs have been uncommonly fortunate in the matter of weather, consequently are farther advanced than ever be fore at the end of a. similar stay in California, i Being a team composed largely ot veterans, this is a prime factor from a spring training standpoint, because the getaway means so much more to the athlete round 30 than to younger players. In spite of the fact that Managei Mitchell brought a promising squad of rookies to the coast, there has been no indication as yet that any of them will Jse able to displace from the lineup any of the men who fin ished the season of 1919 on the jo. regularly. Barber for Paskert's Palce. It looks as if Turner Barber would permanently crowd Dode Paskert out of the outfield, but that change was in' process last summer. Barber apparently is confident of his ability to stick in the garden regularly, judging ftpm the fact he was the last of the players to sign his 1920 contract, and it is believpd that fact will not handicap liim any with the boss of the outfit. Dave Robertson and Max Flack are practically cinches for the other outfield berths, but they probably will change places during the big race, with Dave in right field aim Maxc in center. That is the arrange ment Mitchell has heen trying tut and he has seen no reason for chang ing his plans. Hollocher May Not Start. On the infield it looks as if the Cubs would start the pennant race with their lineup of last September, with the possible exception of Hol locher at short. This sensational youngster of the last two campaigns underwent an operation early tv. month fb remove a growth from one of the tendons in his left hand. The trouble started last fall and made it painful for the shortstop to catch a thrown ball or grip a bat, but he stuck it out to the finish. During the winter the thing ap parently disappeared, but as soou as he began practice this spring the pain returned, although Hollocl.er tried wearing a thick sponge in his rr.tt. After expert examination the player was advised to have the growth cut out, with the proru's? that, barring infection, the wound would heal in time to let Hollocher start the championship season. AH has gone well so far, but the inaction of several weeks may r.'.tke it necessary tor the shortstop to get in condition 'all over again, after lecovering the use of his receiving hand. Two Collegian Understudies. Mitchell has two lively .youngsters grooming themselves for the place w necessary, ihey are Barney Friberg, a schoolboy find fronv- New England, and Walter Pearce. the Pennsylvania star,- whose base ball ambitions got nun m trouble with the foot ball folks last fall. Friberg was trird out in the out field last fall, but Mitchell thinks him a better infielder. In his aria teur days Friberg was 'an all round athlete, and so was Pearce. Ihe other infield jobs will be held by veterans. Mcrkle on first has only King Lear and Heine Groh to compete with, which indicates Mitchell's confidence in his ability to make good for at least another year. Herzog at second and Dal at short are fixtures, barring acci dents. The kids who are trying foe a Kub outfielder's job are William Mariot, Joe Letter,, and Clarence Twombly. The last named was taken on as ai infielder, but has shown excellent speed in the outer works in practice. Fine Backstop Staff. William Killefer will continue to do the bulk of the catching if for tune smiles on the Cubs, and wilt have the same assistants as last vear in Bob O'Farrell and Tom Daly, with William Rostizer as a contender for one of the bullpen jobs. It looks now like Alexander, Vaughn, Tyler and Hendrix for the regular slab quartet. There is nothing to indicate that either Alex or Hippo is anywhere near the slipping stage. Hendix lias another year of 'grace for his spitball. but has been learning to curve them as a precautionary move. Tyler prom ises now "to regain the form lost last season because of a pain in his shoulder. After every other kind of an ex pert had failed to explain the mys terious ailment a shark on anatomy at Rochester, Minn., told Ty it prob ably was due to his teeth, some of which were found to be ill. As a last resort the southpaw went to a dentist, had the offending mqlars re moved and new ones inserted. The result has been a resumption of the free swing of his salary wing with out any of the old 'pain. Mitchell therefore, js confident he will have Tyler for one of his mainstays again this year. Backed by Reserve Pitchers. Back of that first line of slabmcn is a strong reserve force in Speed Martin, Nick Carter and Link Bailey, allof wholn showed much improve ment last season. As possibilists Mitchell also has a young pair of southpaws in Rudolph Weber and Martin Siolz and two right banders in Ted Turner and Earl Hanson. None of them has been unrlrr fire sufficiently to determine his real worth as yet. The Cubs will not be any weaker than they were last year unless they encounter a lot of bad luck in the matter of accidents and the additoin of Herzog and Robertson made them a formidable team in the closing weeks of the 1919 pemunt chase too late to cop better than third money. They ought to be stronger by considerable with the added experience given the younger men. even if only one or two of the recruits turns out to be of major league timber Dolan Provides Needed Paprika. A big addition to the team ii Coach Cozy Dolan, who fills a lens, felt want. The Cubs have been ac cused of lacking nerve and pepper because they took their work sc seriously. There was no bubbling optimist among them capable of smiling under any and all circum stances Dolan is the missing l!nk in the chain, and already fas proves himself the man for the job. There will be no dull moments during a Cub game this year as long as Cozy has even one leg to stand on and as much as half a lung with which to feed his red blood. commerce High Will Issue Call for Ball Players on April I The first call for base ball candi dates at the High School of Com merce will not be issued until the first of April, Coaches F.vans and Drummond announce. The team again will enter the Intercity league. The entire 1919 , squad will again answer the call this year. Chester and Car! Luebbe. Russell Snygg, Frank Mahoney,.

Last year the business school nine" defeated Central, South Omaha and Creighton high schools twice, there by winning, the city championship. The Commerce aggregation has won the city title twice. The bookkeepers are the 1919 state champions also by virtue of their victory over McCook, Neb., who claimed the state championship before they met the Omaha squad.

International News Sporting Editor. New York, March 21. Mike Gib bons against Georges Carpentier, 10 rounds. Here's a bout that should strike a popular chord with the boxing fans on this side of the water a bout that ought to give the American fistic followers a good line on the great French fighter. Gene Melady of Omaha, manager of Earl Caddock, has offered to stage this bout and is confident that no more suitable boxer can be found to face Carpentier in his first bout in America than Gibbons. Mel ady offers the St. Paul "Phantom" $25,000 for his end, and is prepared to satisfy Carpentier financially. The only stipulation he makes is that he shall select vthe site for the bout. The name of Gibbons as an op ponent for Carpentier in a 10-round bout suggests action, and plenty of it, from gong to gong. Gibbons, though a veteran, still ranks as one of the cleverest boxers who ever drew on a glove. He is, perhaps, America's most scientific boxer, and though he does not fight continually he is far from through. Melady says Michael can be ready for Car pentier on six weeks' notice, and if Georges really wants to box in the United States prior to his proposed bout with Dempsey here's his chance to show American fans just how handy hejs with his mittens. Today, at the age of 35, Gibbons keeps himself in perfect condition, for he trains whether he has a match scheduled or not. In his recent bout with Mike O'Dowd at St. Paurf the "Phantom" lost the popular de cision, but he stood toe to toe with O'Dowd and fought the champion at his own game. ' Melady was among those present when Gibbons met O'Dowd, and it was there he got the idea of matching Gibbons with Carpentier. "Mike suffsred a cut over one of his eyes hi the early rounds and later on hurt his right hand," said Melady. "That cut. bled profusely and made Mike look like he was get ting much the worst of it to many of tie spectators. Personally, I don't think he deserved worse than a draw with O'Dowd, and there were many old timers at the ringside with me who felt the same about it. "I consider, Gibbons the cleverest boxer in. the world right now. I don't bar any of them. They say Carpentier is wonderfully clever, and if he really is a scientific boxer I don't know of a man who could make him extefid himself more than Mike. Triat's why I made Gibbons the offer to meet Georges and why I am ready to give Carpentier a handsome sum to agree to the match. "My offer is primarily a snorting proposition. The sporting angle ap peals more to me than the financial possibilities, for I would travel hun dreds of miles to see Gibbons and Carpentier in action and I wpuld expect to see a rousin' good battle, too. Don't let anytbody tell you that Gibbons is through. He's far from it. That's why I figure Mike the logical man for the Frenchman, and if Georges really intends to box, I believe he will make a popular move by meeting a boxer of Gib bons' calibre. Zbyszko Arrives in Omaha for His Match With Gus Kervaras Stanislaus Zbyszko, 39 years old and weighing 248 pounds, arrived in Omaha yesterday for his match to night with Gus Kervaras at Council Bluffs in his campaign for the heavy weight wrestling title. He canie from Sioux City and will wrestle John Frieberg in Chicago Thursday followed by a match at dary, Ind., on his way back to New York.

He expects to train down to 235 pounds when he says he will be in his prime. Zbyszko spent four ycaars as a prisoner of war in Russia, having been captured by the bolsheviki.

NEBRASKA MAN WRITES BOOK ON SALESMANSHIP Professor at State University Is Author of Latest Work On Elements of Retail Trade. Service is the mission ofj all re tailing todav and unless it renders the maximum amount of service it is falling short of its purpose ind possibilities, says Paul Weslev Ivey, professor of marketing an:l salesmanship at the University of Nebraska, in his hook "Elements of Retail Salesmanship" recently pub lished. "First of all." the book state "the retailer and salesman niu?t bear in mind that the customer is the important factor in all scllin,;. Understanding the customer, then, is very necessary. For the purpose of study, the -majority of customtrs can be put in one or the other ol the following grtiup: The impulsive oi nervous customer, the deliberate customer, the vacillating or in decisive customer, theconfident or decisive customer, the talkative or friendly customer, the silent or rr different customer, and the dis trustful customer. "In addition to knowing the cu tomer, the salesman must also have an intimate knowledge of his goods. He must be able to show the desired article promptly, for de lay in locating stock on the shelves gives an impression of inefficiency and of careless disregard for the needs of the trade. A knowledge of the history of the goods, oi it com position, use, serviceability, and of what competitors are offering along the same line, is invaluable to the salesman. "Hand in hand with an under standing knowledge of the customer and of the goods must go person ality. Enthusiasm, honesty, cour tesy, promptness, a natural and spontaneous cheerfulness are es.. sential and can and should be cul tivated by the salesman who is not gifted with them."
