SEVERAL SNAPPY
GAMES BOOKED BY
AMATEURS TODAY
Rings Opticals Mix With
League Leaders Good
Contest Scheduled for
Riverview Park.
Today's amateur program should
be of first-class variety, as consider
able interest is being centered and
plenty of rivalry exists between the
members of the variou teams.
Contests are on tan in all leagues
In the City, class A league, the
banner circuit of the association, a
lively session is promised between
the Drive-It-Yourself Co., undefeat
ed leaders, and the Riggs Optical
Co.
Sel Smith, considered one of the
best hurlers in class A circles, will
De on tne mound tor the fin-Lizzies,
while Rokusek cr Baumgardner will
hurl for the Optical Co. The Ne
braska Power Co.-Paxton-Vierling
mix will also prove excitine.
The Paulson Fords-Federal Re
serve Bank and the Beddeos-Colum--
bian Optical Co. clashes in the Amer
ican league are expected to be the
thriller events in that circuit. Roth
?.he Fords and Beddoes are in a tie
for first honors, while their oppo
nents have strengthened their line
up considerably and are out to pull
the topnotchers down.
Ritz or Mancuso will heave for the
Fords, while Lenihan will pitch for
the Reserve Banks.
Good Game at Riverview.
Riverview park has been set asidj;
as the battle ground for the Town
fend Gun Company-Maney Milling
Company clash and the followers
, of the Booster league, no doubt,
will see a real scrap, as these two
teams are evenly matched. The
Millers are leading the circuit, with
the Gunners but a few points be
hind, and a victory for the latter
will put them in a tie. The Hard
ing Creamery Company-Phillip De
partment Store contest should be a
snappy affair, as both aggregations
are making a strong bid for the pen
nant. " First place in the Gate City league
1 at stake in the game with the Mc
Kenney Dentists and Ramblers.
The Dental lads are leading by a
aingle game over their opponents,
although they have not lost a game
this season. Curley Rand, the "old
war horse," is slated to do the
mound work for the McKenneys,
while it is still uncertain who will
heave for the Ramblers, but from
information they will send in a
"dark horse."
Tangle for Cellar Position.
The cellar position in the same
circuit will be fought out between
the Shamrocks and Woodmen of I
the World teams, at Thirty-first and
Ames avenue.
The North Omaha league, the
new class C league, will clash in a
double-header at Carter lake.
Weather conditions permitting,
record crowds should attend today's
games.
Bat Levinsky Mixes
Brains With Punches
When in the Ring
When Georges Carpentier meets
Battling Levinsky some time during
July he will face a real scrapper.
Barney Williams, better known in
ringdom as Battling Levinsky, is a
mild-mannered, pleasant sort of a
chap, who possesses considerable in
telligence, fie demonstrates tnai
not only in the ring but outside,
but because he adopted the profes
sion of swatting other fellows on
the chin doesn't mean that he is less
human than those who earn their
living at less precarious professions.
Perhaps as good an example as
any other mental attitude of Levin
sky while working at his chosen oc
cupation may be gained from a bit
of conversation between Levinsky
and Tony Melichar, who fought at
Kenosha a few days ago. Bat, it
winner in nearly avery round came
to the middfe of the ring to shake
hands with Melichar for the tenth
j f , j . ri i
ana iinai rouna, wiin a smne auurn
ing his face.
I - No Feeling Against Opponent
; There isn't any hard feeling, is
there?" spoke Levinsky softly.
"No, none at all," answered Meli
char. "It's all in the game."
A few seconds later Levinsky sat
on the canvas to which he had been
knocked by a left hand jolt by Men
char. Levinsky didn't take the count,
but got up and dealt retaliaton to
. t : ..i.-.i . c-u:
- j ...... . . . .
Levinsky incidentally is not with
out honor. In the sixth round he let
a right haymaker fly at Melichar's
head. Tony was out of range, and
the blow shot through the atmos
phere at lightning speed, but missed
by more than a foot. Missing his
target that far amused Levinsky, who
dropped his hands to his side, grunt
ed zowie," and had a good laugh
at his own expense. Melichar had
to laugh, too,-
Make Friends Swapping Punches.
"Friendly enemies" of the ring,
Levinsky and Melichar didn't close
their acquaintance with the punching
in the ring. Mooching along to the
railway station after the fight, I saw
a couple of big fellows standing on
the platform, one with a puffed face,
the other not looking as if he had
been in a scrap. They were Meli
char and Levinsky.
Levinsky, the veteran of the ring,
was giving Tony a bit of advice,
which Melichar is sure to heed, and
which may help him move upward in
this pugilistic business.

BOXER THINKS
HE HAS WAY TO
BEAT SOU'PAW
Lew Tendler and Johnny Wil
son Cause of Worry
Supreme to Certain
Ringsters.
By RAY PEARSON.
Everybody who knows anything
about the game of pugilism knows
that these sou'paw boxers', especial
ly when they happen to have class,
as in the casie of Johnny Panica,
which is the honest to goodness
name of Johnny Wilson, middle
weight champion, and Lew Tendler,
the Philadelphia lightweight, are
mighty tough fellows to handle. It
isn't because they wallop harder or
possess Greater skill, .but because
they don't do things in .the stereo
typed way. They re an awkward
class, any right manded scrapper
will say.
Having watched this Tendler per
son engage in a ten rounded with
Pinkie Mitchell and beat him by a
margin that could not be disputed,
and also having watched Richie
Mitchell, Pinkie's brother, scrap tht
Philadelphia sou'paw more than
ever convinces us that sou'paws are
tough uns.
Here's a Question.
Having come to this conclusion,
the writer has quizzed several box
ers, the principal question asked te
ing: '
"What's the best system to use
against a left handed boxer and how
is a right handed miller to beat a
sou'paw?"
Now, as a rule, boxers don't do
any considerable amount of study
ing out these things Mnless they
happen to be matched to scrap one
of the fellows who jab with the
right hand, but as these matches
come so rarely because sou'paws
seldom get very far in the glove
game, we found little success in get
ting a solution to the problem. Most
of those with whom we talked didn't
know of any way to beat classy left
hander and simply shook their
heads, indicating the question was
a bit too deep for them.
Solution Offered.
But ' we did manage to find one
fellow and a lightweight, too, who
offered something in the way of a
solution. He didn't care to have hi
name mentioned, but the way he
vould beat a sou'paw is interesting.
Perhaps his system may be O. K.;
perhaps no good at all, but at any
rate there seems to he some logic
in the way he has figured it out.
Here's the way he puts it:
"I've never had a battle with a
sou'paw opponent, but it seems to
me a right-hander should be able to
find a way to beat these awkward
fellows who jab with the rip-lit hand
and cross or hook with the left. Now
I think that the thing to do when
meeting this type is to let him jab
with his right, I mean not to try to
stop him trom landing his jab, for
jabs don't ' do any damage. It's
pretty nearly a cinch that after he
has found that he can plant his right
where and when he wants to he will
quickly follow the ricrht with his
left cross or hook. Then its the
time for the right-handed fellow to
bring into play the stuff that does
the work.
Make Sou'paw Miss.
"He should take the jab, but al
ways keep his eyes watching for the
left, and when it comes over make
the sou'paw miss with it. Then
after missing the sou'paw would
h;ive shot all he had and the
chances are he would be off his bal
ance, which would give a quick and
alert right-handed person the
chance to speed in with a hard wol
lop." "But what if the sou'paw didn't
miss?" we timidly' asked.
"Oh, he might not always miss,
but some time he's going to, and
that's the time to send over the stuff
that makes the birdies sing," was
our informant's reply.
Leo Flynn, the New York man
ager of scrappers, who has Bill
Brennan and several others under
his wing, also has in his stable a
young fellow who Flynn says is the
eighth wo'hder of the boxing world.
Flynn doesn't mention his name,
but admits he knows nothing about
the art of glove-wielding.
Doe Everything Wrong.
"But this fellow certainly can
fight," says Flynn. "He does every
thing just as it shouldn't be done in

Asher is the bantamweight cham

count of four and decisions over
Lew Edwards, Zulu Kid, Bobby
Hughes, Joe Leonard, Tommy En

the ring, but the funny part of it is
he is so awkward that none of the
fellows he meets can solve him. He
beats all of them, and even the spec
tators can't figure how he does it.
Why, he's such a riddle that he can't
ven clirrib through the ropes with
out getting tangled in the hemp and
requiring someone to help extricate
him. When he's boxing he never
does anything twice the same way
and never does anything right, but
he just keeps on winning.
"A ringsider once asked me why
T didn't take this chap and teach him
how to box. For the love of Mike,
if I did that everybody in the world

For four years more or less,

New York to Have Five
Months of Horse Racing
New York can guarantee more
than five months continuous horse
racing between the spring and fall
campaigns in Maryland, where, with
the exception of Saratoga, there will
be no railway shipping whatever. It
is a great advantage, as, with the
exception of Saratoga and the Em
pire City events at Yonkers, horses
may be campaigned at all the metro
politan tracks while remaining at
their winter stables, a fact which
eliminates transportation entirely
and simplifies the stabling problem.

UNITED STATES
HAS FINE CHANGE
TO WIN J.YMPICS
Members of Committee Highly
Enthusiastic Over Pros
pects far Great Team Un
der Stars and Stripes.
President Gustavus T. Kirby and
the members of the American Olym
pic committee are more optimistic
mow than ever before that the Amer
ican Olympic team will triumph at
Antwerp, and not without reason.
The performances of some of this
country's greatest college athletes
in recent games the Penn relays
ind the Intercollegiate track and
field championships have given the
stock of America's athletes a tre
mendous boost.
Following the recent Intercollegi
ate games, President Kirby express
ed the opinion that an American
team, made up entirely of college
athletes, would stand a grand chance
of winning the Olympic games. This
was a rather broad statement, but it
was not made carelessly by any
means.
And when one figures that, in ad
dition to the brilliant track and field
stars now wearing the colors of our
many colleges and universities, we
have a host of amateur athletic club
stars of the caliber of Joie Ray, Lo
ren Murohison, Mart McGrath, Pat
Kyan and a host of others it is easy
to see why the members of the
Olympic committee arc wearing sat-
sfied smiles. ,
Stars Crop Out.
When the country's greatest track
and field stars of both collegiate and
athletic club connection come to
gether in the sectional trials for the
Olympic team at Philadelphia, Chi
cago and Pasadena June 26 and
luly 3 it is safe to predict that the
greatest contests for honors ever
ieen on the cinder path or in the
field will be staged.
Our newest crop of sprinters, such
as Kirksey of Leland Stanford: Pad
dock of California, Scholz of Mis
souri, LeConeym of Lafavette, Wells
of Stanford, Gourdin of Harvard.
OeWitt of Rutgers, and a number of
others, will fairly hum up the track
in the 100 and 220 dash events
-leainst the best men. now affiliated
with the country's great athletic
elubs; men of the calibre of Willie
iayes of Boston, and Hank Wil
liams of Spokane. R. E. Brown, win
ner of the 100 and 220 dashes in the
lecent intercollegiate games, will not
be enabled to compete in the
Olympic tryouts because of going to
England with the liger team tor the
meet with Oxford and Cambridge.
In the middle distance events Joie
Ray is expected to stand out primi-
lently in the hnal trials at Cam
bridge. But despite the apparent
'dge held by Ray over a field of bril
liant collegiate rivals, he will find
opposition stiff enough' to spur him
nn to new records, with such per
formers as Earl Eby Maxam and
Gustafson of Pennsylvania, Driscoll
i if Roston, Mayer of Cornell, Spoot
f California, and many others.
Thompson Ineligible.
The college men have an apparent
i:dge in the hurdles, both high and

tainty. Smart of Chicago; Landers

TOMMY GIBBONS
AFTER CROWN OF
JACKDEMPSEY
Brother of Phantom Mike In
Europe to Start Campaign
That Will Bring Him to
Title.
Among the ringsters who covet
the crown worn by Jack Dempsey
are two of the world's greatest box
ers. One is Georges Carpentier, you
will say, and you will be correct.
The other? He is Tommy Gibbons,
younger brother of the famous St.
Paul "Phantom," who is getting
ready to make a vigorous campaign
for honors in the heavyweight di
vision. Gibbons is a counterpart of his
brother Michael, only bigger of bone
and proportionately better set up
And he is a "boxin' fool," accordins
to a score or more of America's
best performers in the class that
does anywhere from 160 to 170 ring
side. "But Gibbons is a middleweight
and has no business in the heavy
weight division," you are apt to ex
claim. Forget it. Gibbons was a middle
weight about two years ago when he
cold make 158 to 160 pounds as
easily as Jimmy Wilde, who has his
full growth, can make 107. Today
Gibbons is a strapping, clean-limbed,
hard-muscled 170-pounder. He is as
heavy as Georges Carpentier and
those who know him best doubt very
much whether the famous Georges
could show him anything in the line
of fistic science.
Tommy Gibbons has all the
science, footwork and ring general
ship that won his brother Mike
recognition as one of the greatest
boxers the game has ever known.
With these assets as a ringster he
has more weight and a much stouter
punch.
Like Michael, the young Gibbons
is a. modest, retiring and gentleman
ly chap. There isn't a boastful bone
in his body and he doesn't like to
make claims for himself.
When Georges Carpentier came
to the United States he had hopes
that he might get an opportunity to
meet him. Nothing would suit him
better.
"But I guess I'll have to wait a
while before I can get into the ring
with Georges," said Gibbons recent
ly, "and meanwhile I'm going to
England to meet all the good fight
ers they have over there if I can
get matches ,with them. Later,
when I come back to the states, it
is my intention to .challenge Jack
Dempsey, for I am going to jump
right into the heavyweight class as
soon as I land in England. I hope
to get on with Joe Beckett and
Bombardier Wells. I'll take on
anybody they've got."
Gibbons, you see, isn't boastful.
He merely has confidence in his
ability and he isn't afraid of ;( ;
man living. Gibbons and Eddie
Kane, his genial manager, have
taken the long way around in start
ing their campaign for a battle with
Dempsey, in which, according to
our opinion, they have shown ex
cellent judgment, for the reason
that if Tommy succeeds in beating
a number of English heavyweights
he will have won his spurs as a
heavyweight fighter before he tosses
his hat into the ring on this side of
the pond.
