Time and again his opponent broke dangerous holds by sneer strength, in several instances planting his hand or foot against some porton of "Zibby's" anatomy and simply pushing him awy. The men entered the ring at 9:13. In a minute Kervaras had clamped a , headlock on his opponent, which he was unable to keep over a few sec onds. At the end of four minutes on their feet both men went to the mat with "Zibby" behind. They were up again within a minute, sparred around the ring a few times and again went to the mat, Kervaras this time clamping a dangerous toe hold cui his antagonist. Zbyszko broke the hold in short order, how ever, and they again came to their feet. Roughing.

' At the end of 10 minutes Zbyszko again went behind, but Gus flopped around, securing a toe hold, which he kept for 50 seconds. In their struggles they squirmed under the ropes and the referee ordered both men to the center of the ring on their feet. Some Throw. Gus secured a head hold brought the crowd to their when he threw the big Pole tirely over his shoulder with a that shook the lights on the Douglas street bridge. Before they again got to their feet Gus clamped on a dangerous toe hold which made the Pole winch, and which he kept for 45 seconds. At the end of 3d minutes "Zibby" secured a head scissors and arm lock which he kept for something over half a minute. A few minutes later Zbyszko secured a half nelson which he kept for two minutes and 18 seconds and it looked like it was all over for the first fall, but the Greek squirmed free and the men again came to their feet. Zibby Changes Hold. The next time down, Zbyszko secured a toe hold which he changed to a half nelsoil, and later to a plait) body hold with which he won the fall in 52 minutes even.

Baer Covers Base Ball Game For The Bee Humorist Sees Giants and San Antonio Play Benefit Game for Texas Charity Local Fans Present Matty With Wildcat, Even Though 'He Refuses To Accept. By "BUGS" BAER. San Antonio, Tex., March 22. Special Telegram.) The Giants and San Antonio base ball teams bene fited Texas charity some 5,000 bucks last week when they played an ex hibition game at the Giants' camp. After games in Dallas, Fort Worth, Wichita Falls and Houston in the disorder named, the first com pany meets the Number Two show in San Antonio again, and Every body saunters off for split weeks of the I'antagcs circuit. The remarkable edge about the preliminary training is that the workmen haven't fumbled a day's practice in the short month they have been eating the old southern, cooking with northern prices. It has rained a few days in the mornings, but the old sun-picce "always came out and. dried up the blooming rain and the blooming, bleeding sparrow crept up the spout again. While Florida, California and Ala bama were hanging up new high low temperature records Texas was flat wheeling along at an average of 90 degress an hour. Which is sure speeding for New York, but very slow for San Antone. Today's game with San Antone was for the benefit of charity. The crcme de la creme of Texas society was there slightly diluted with the skim milk de la skim milk of Man hattan base ball writers. One feature about the Giants' practice games is that teacher doesn't stand for any hippodroming. He makes 'em go right in there and play pretty, may the chips fall where they may. And most of the chips seem to fall to Old Bill Ironson, the demon picture shooter, who plays 'em so close to his vest that they rub his backbone. With Toney and Barnes doing a Sells-Floto in the box, the game was a ynh-over for the visiting firemen. Fletcher knocked the top right tl the game by socking a home run with the bases all loaded and primed Not very nice of Fletch, but something always -happens ayt the school recital when the board of directors waddle in to hold a spelling jamboree. It kinda showed up the home boys in front of the beauty and chivalry of the Lone Star state. But as $5,000 were harvested for San Antone chari table institutions, , everybody went away from there neat and hapnv. The final score was 11 to 1, which is final enough for anybody with the exception of chronic finalists like -Barnes, Hagen, Death, Taxes and your wife in an argument. Local bugs presented Matty witn a wildcat. Christy refused it, but they presentee it to him anyway. At the same time McGraw was staked to a loving cup with eight handles on it. While Teacher was scratching up the cup with his finger nails, the wildcat was maul ing Matty up plenty. International complications threat ened to develop until somebody drew the loving cup over the wild cat's knob like an opera hat. The sate law of Texas demands that all wildcats be muzzled with silver loving cups. The tiger bird spent the first five innings neat and pret ty, but when 15 Spads flew over the base ball park in battle array he decided to oiri the battle. The last seen of John cat it was looping it toward the Alamo with silver handles sticking out on him like knobs on an alligator's back. OMAHA WALLOPS KANSAS CITY IN OPENING CONTEST Blues Swept Off Their Feet by Attack "of Rourkes Final Count Is 14 to 1. Okmulgee, Ok!., March 22. (Spe cial Telegram.)

Opportunity is knocking at the doors of young base ball players, according to Larry Sutton, veteran Brooklyn scout who passe'd through Omaha Sunday on his way east. "There is more room in the big leagues for youngsters now than there ever was before," said Sutton. J'The scarcity of young fellows on whom major leagues can depend to takes the places of fast-fading stars is growing serious. And pres ent indications are that the 1920 crop will not develop anything very sensational. The discovery of a 'phenom' this year is to be expected, but that type of player seldom lives up to expectations. Younflf players who have natural ability are few and far between. They are not being developed any more.." Sutton is dubious over the out look. "I've been watching the situation for some time," he said, "and I've seen the problem grow bigger each year. The majority of youngsters these days seem to lack confidence. I've found this particularly true with college players and I can offer no plausible reason for it. They've simply got to start growing good young players all over again, other wise the class of base ball in the big leagues will suffer." Sutton deplored the lack of young players' of the types represented by Daubert, Wheat, Cutshaw, Stengel, Cadore, McCarthy, Pfeffer, Hi Myers and Sherry Smith, all of AMUSEMENTS.

AMATEUR LEAGUES CONSOLIDATE; NO INTEREST SHOWN Booster and Inter-City Circuits Combine Into One Class B Organization. Booster and Inter-City amateur base ball leagues, last season's crack Class C organizations, at the meet ing in the office of Park Commis sioner Falconer last night decided to consolidate for the coining sea son. Lack of interest among the Class C teams of the Inter-City circuit was the cause of the action. Presi dent Davidson of the Inter-City league has called several meetings, but only a few teams responded, so after the Booster league was formed last night there were only two teams left, and it was finally decided to make the Booster organization an eight-club league, taking in the Townsend Gun Company and Curo Mineral Springs, the two teams who applied for franchises in that cir cuit. The Booster league will play Class B ball. The following teams will make up the roster: Townsend Gun company, Omaha Printing company, Curo Mineral Springs, Mancy Milling company, Sprague Street .
