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.

No Youngsters Are Likely
To Replace Cub Veterans
Chicagoans Blessed With Good Weather Cozy Joe
Dolan Fills Long-Felt Want Have Great Catch
ing Staff and Good String of Reserve Pitchers.
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

defeated Central, South Omaha and
Creighton high schools twice, there
by winning, the city championship.
The Commerce aggregation has won

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.

PLANS TEST BOUT
FOR GARPENTIER
Gene Melady tries to Bring
phantom Mike" and
Frenchman Into
. , Action.
By JACK VEIOCK.
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.
When he arrived in the United
States, February T5; he weighed 272
pounds. Ten days' workout in a
gymnasium and 18 matches on dif
ferent nights has reduced his weight
to a mere 248. 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. He
tells a harrowing tale of the cruc?ty
and starvation suffered in the pris
on. When he teft the prison he
weighed 188 pouncls. Three months
at his home in Poland brought his
weight back to 310 pounds.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN
DENIES CHARGES '
IN DIVORCE SUIT
Spent $50,000 on Wife in Two
Years, He Says Wot
Enough, Her Report.
Los Angeles, March 21. Charlie
Chaplin, in a statement issued to
day, made a complete denial of the
charges of his wvfe, Mildred Harris
Chaplin, that he had failed to sup
port her during their r.-arried life.
The statement was confined sole
ly to finances in the Chaplin house
hold, making no mention of Mrs.
Chaplin's charges of cruelty and de
sertion nor any counter allegations.
It stated that Chaplin is in posses
sion of $50,000 in canceled checks,
which were paid by him and ex
pended by his wife, in addition to
her salary of $1,000 weekly.-
When shown the statement, Mrs.
Chaplin admitted that her comedian
husband had canceled checks to the
figure named, but said that he
"ought to be ashamed to mention
the amount."
"This money was paid 'tint for
household expenses," she said. "But
it covers the period of onr .itire
married life, for his expenses as

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."

New IDEAL-Arcola Radiator-Boiler
Puts IDEAL HOT WATER HEATING comfort at low cost
in cottages, flats, or stores, with or without cellars

water circulation through pipe-connected AMERICAN Radiators
stationed in the adjoining rooms. Every bit of the big volume of heat
developed from each pound of fuel is therefore made useful in keeping
ALL the rooms uniformly, healthfully warm.- There is no coal-waste.
The IDEAL-Arcola does not rust out or wear out will outlast the
