Derby 474 McGraw Thinks His Team Has "Excellent Chance to Win Flag" New York. April 11. John G. McGraw has built a Giant machine that will go cavorting into the long battle ready and capable of fighting at every stage of the game. "I have a team that I think has an excellent chance of winning the pennant," said McGraw, "but if it fails to win out in this race, which I think will be the hottest ever re corded in- the National league, it will nevertheless win the hearts of the fins. "My team, I am mighty proud to say,' is the kind that the teams will fall in' love with and when the fans fallin love with a team they arc ready ,to cheer in defeat as well as in victory. "I think Frank Frisch is the best player that has come to the major leagues in many years. He should not only be a great star, but an idol. I am not afraid to hazard the prediction that he will be as great an idol as Babe Ruth. "George Kilty is another who will give the fans joy. His wonderful arm, his long reaTh, his persistent trying, will surely make a hit. ".The rest of the team is pretty well known. "It is the action, the clean cut work of the team upon which I count in predicting the Giants of 1920 will earn such great popularity, Action, and lots of it, is what the fans want, .and just that is what this team will give them. Omaha Middleweight to Meet Indian Pug Monday Johnny Sudenberg and George' Lamson Headliners On Attractive Card at Fort Omaha Spellman and Garrison to Settle Old Dispute In Preliminary. - Johnny Sudenberg, clever, hard hitting Omaha middleweight, and George Lamson, the Walthill Indian heavyweight, are headliners.on a big boxing program scheduled for Fort Omaha Monday night under the auspices of the fort athletic com mittee,. The main event promises to bt one of the most interesting fistic battles fought here in years. Sudenberg is a hard hitter and can take a world of punishment. He is clever on his feet and knows how to use his head. Lamson is more or less an "unknown" in and near Omaha; The Indian won pugilistic laurels while a member of the A. E. F. in France and on returning to his home on the Walthill reserva tion he took up fighting for a profes sion. , His Indian-friends and neighbors claim he is the world's greatest and will back him with every cent they own. Johnny Lee, .Omaha heavy weight, who took tlie count in two round at the hands of Lamson, and Joe Stangle, another Omaha fighter, who went the same route in two minutes when he met Lamson, will testify that Lamson's friends and neighbors know what they arc talk ing about. Denny Ryan, who is promoting the affair for Fort Omaha authori ties, has carded four fast preliminaries. RalnVl 9rllm!jn -nA Rottllurr Co..?) .,' " - W,'....llil ...... UUL.Iltlg v rison fought at Fort Omaha several months ago. Spellman was given a decision. The Battler objected and so did some of the fans who saw the bout.

Young Blum of Fort Omaha and Tommy Vaughn of South Omaha, jt two clever youngsters, are scheduled for six rounds. Harry Reed and K. O. Anderson are carded for six rounds, and Soldier Hanley and Carl Emmett for a bout of the same length. . Fort Omaha authorities have se lected three -judges for the bouts.

Mulligan has discovered some new finds in his Central High track squad, but is keeping everything under cover. The squad is growing each day. Coach Mulligan probably will take his men to Creighton field the lat ter part of this week for workout. Howard Turner, who won the high jump last year, has promised to break the record this year. Floyd Green is to run the sprints. The base ball squad is getting ready for its first game with South High on April 27. Coach Fred Hill is putting his men through some stiff practice, and is out for cham pionship honors. LELIVELT AND ROURKE BEAMING OVER PROSPECTS Omaha Team Takes to the Southern Bushes Tomor rowPitchers and Catch ers Look Great. Pa Rourke's pets will fold up their tents and hit the . road today. Today is the Rourke's last stand in Okmulgee, where training has been in progress since March IS. Fort Smith. Ark., will be the first stop on the Rourke's excursion into the southern bush. The locals will play in Fort Smith Tuesday, Wed nesday and Thursday. Then they o to Henrietta for isaturday and unday conflicts before jumping into Tulsa to remain until the sea son's hostilities are 'inaugurated April 20. ' Letters from Rourke and Manager Jack Lelivelt indicate that the ex ecutives of Omaha's Western league representatives are highly satisfied with the preliminary ap pearances of their hired hands. Pa writes outbursts of enthusis asm about Lelivelt and Lelivelt is beating the tom-toms for his ath letes. . . Lelivelt is particularly wild over Palmero, the Cuban twirler. Pal mero, Jack avers, will be the curv ing sensation of the loop. In addi tion the Cuban is noted as a slugger and can play in the outfield and first base. Palmero is expected to earn his salary several times over. And despite the fact that Palmero hails from parts where that which is there is not here, he is reported to be in good condition and ready to play regularly, it ring Bodie or Kay Caldwell lived in Havana they would be ready to play about the time the season ends, but the Rourke Hurler is said to be modest in his ap petite for forbidden refreshments and therefore leaves his winter home with only mild reluctance. With Oscar Fuhr in harness, the southpaw department of the Jiurling corps is sound as a nut. Oscar re ported late, but he had been practic ing knocking apples off the fence in his back yard in Tulsa and there fore is not much behind his team mates in preparation. Oscar's fast ball is working better than ever this year, 'tis said, and those high shoots of his are expected to mow down the Western league slugging crews as in the days before the war. Charlie Kopp is exhibiting cymp toms of his old 'form, which pres ages no great good for ambitious batsmen. Schaltzman also is going good. Schaltzman came to the Rourkes from the army last year and couldn't get into condition be fore the season ended. But he's O. K. now, Lelivelt reports, and has the stuff to earn a position among the first string pitchers. But it is his catching corps that tickles Lelivelt. He has Cy Lingle and George Hale and Charlie Brcwn. Omaha fans know what Lingle and Hale can do. They're about as good at backstopping as will be found in Class A circles anywncre. JLingie is touted as a major league nrospect. Pa and Lelivelt are still angling for a right-handed pitcher. If they land the man they want they believe they will be fixed for pitchers for the season. But even If they don't get him they'll be better fixed than any other Western league club, they believe. Carpentier to Box Sparring Partner in Pittsburgh May 3 New York, April 11. Georges Carpentier, the French heavyweight champion, who is under contract to Jack Curley to give boxing exhibi tions in the different cities for which iie is to receive $1,000 a day for his services, will make his first appear ance at the Duquesnc Garden in Pittsburgh on the night of May 3.

There are plenty of Cigarettes of merit, some claiming one pleasing feature, some another. But there was room at the top for a still better cigarette one that had all the goodness of the others and then some! Spur Cigarettes were made with that object in view to fill that place at the top. The choicest American and Imported tobaccos were blended by a new method that brings out to the full that good old tobacco taste that smokers are always seeking. Satiny, imported paper was used. It is crimped, not pasted, to make an easier-drawing, slower-burning cigarette. Then these super-cigarettes were put into a smart "brown-and-silver" package, three fold, to keep them fresh and rich in that good old tobacco taste. Lastly, Spurs were priced at twenty for 20c the lowest possible price for a cigarette of highest possible quality. Smokers tried Spurs. Their verdict, every where, has been: "A high-bred cigarette!"
