George Lamson
Wins on Foul
From Schmader
Navy Champion, Outfights In
dian, But Fouls Frequently
-Referee Causes Uproar
With Decision.
By J. A. SHANAHAN.
George Lamson, won from Andy
Schmader on a foul in the fourth
round of their scheduled 10-xound
fight Monday night in the City audi
torium. Jack Fitzgerald refereed.
When the decision was announced
Lamson extended his hand to the
Louisville fighter for the customary
handshake and the two pugilists ex
changed remarks.
That started the fight afresh and
a dozen or more Lamson followers
and an equal number of Schmader
"fans" climbed into the ring. The
police and deputy sheriffs clambered
through the ropes and restored order
in the rine. but in the house pande
monium reigned. Schmader crawled
through the ropes and a few minutes
later Lamson followed. Each fighter
was tendered a chorus of mingled
hisses and plaudits.
Decison Beliked.
The decision was a just one but
it should have been made sooner.
In the first round the Indian drove
home a volley of wicked rights and
lefts to the face of the navy cnam-
pion. Schmader s ngnt eye puncu
up and his nose bled freely after
the ,attack. . .
The round was Lamson s by a
wide margin.
In the second, Schmader resorted
tn trrnrh rUnchintr and wrestling.
The Indian landed several good lefts
to the Louisville boy s lace and tne
latter purposely went down for a
count ot three in oraer to reLuvci
himself. Lamson s round.
The third round was Schmader s.
The navy champion apparently out
classed in the nrst two rounus,
staged a masterful comeback and
fought the Indian to a standstill.
He drove home a wicked right hand
to the Indian's body, weakening
the redskin, and then followed it
with a right cross that sent his ad
versary to the canvass flat on his
back. Referee Fitzgerald counted at
least nine before the Walthill scrap
per pulled himself together and
arose. They clinched and with
Referee Fitzgerald standing between
them, Schmader hif" Lamson over
Fitzgerald's shoulder. After the
"break" Schmader landed two more,
to the face and the Indian lost his
footing for a moment. While the
Indian was on his hands and knees
Schmader rushed in and struck him
in the back of the head. Fitzgerald
warned Schmader. When the Indian
rose Schmader drove home two more
to the face and sent Lamson down
for a count of six. They went into
another clinch and the bell sounded
ending the round. The round was
Schmader's by great odds.
Schmader Warned.
In the fourth round Fitzgerald
warned Schmader several times.
Both fighters mixed it freely at first,
went into a clinch and separated.
Lamson sank to the floor without
being hit. Fitzgerald raised the
Indian's hand in victory, claiming
Schmader had fouled Lamson. 1
Schmader had fouled Lamson, but
not at that particular time. When
Fitzgerald turned his back the twH
scrappers wnaiea into one auuiuci
again.
The house was divided in its opin
ion. Both cheers and hisses arose
for each fighter from all corners of
the building.
The semi-windup was a fast six
round tilt between Kid Schlaifer of
South Omaha and Eddie Hart of
Chicago. Referee Billy Uvick gave
Schlaifer the decision after the
South Side lad had clearly bested
the Chicagoan in three of the six
rounds while the other three were
even.
Harry Reed won a decision of
Young Anderson in the first pre
liminary, hitting Anderson at will
in each of the four rounds they
fought.
The attendance was good. The
proceeds, were turned over to St.
James' Orphanage.

Sunday Afternoon
The Bowen .Furniture Co., City
league pennant winners, and class
A city champions and Nebraska
state amateur champions, did not
lose the state title to Fremont Sun
day, as reported in one of the
Omaha newspapers Mondav.
The game Sunday, which tliei
Bowcn's lost, 5 to 0, to Fremont,
was not for the state title. Manager
Dennison arranged the game with
the Fremont team in order to keep
his men in condition for the games
next Saturday and Sunday, when the
Furniture crew will represent
Omaha for the western amateur
championship.
The protest turned in by the
American Legion team of Grand
Island against the Bowens two
weeks ago, which the locals won,
4 to 2,' winning the state champion
ship, was overruled, according to an
announcement made public by Sec
retary B. N. Amspoker, of the Ne
braska Amateur State association.
"I personally took up the matter
with Umpire Williams of Lincoln
on the dicision which Grand Island
protested on and also the matter
which they claimed that McAndrews
used rosin on the ball to aid the
pitcher," said Ampoker.
"In the first place, the protest
could not be considered as Grand
Island did not send in ",25 fee, which
must accompany the protest, accord
ing to the rules of the Nebraska
State Amateur Base Ball associa
tion," said Secretary Amspoker.

The team has been working hard
on signals for the last week, and is
showing sis of real foot ball.
Scrimrnage!ll tart today and the
men will be worked against the sec
ond learn, coached by j. G. Schmidt.
Lisle Hoerner,' a linesman from
last year, will play center in the
first game, at least. He may be
shifted later. At the guard posi
tions, Mulligan is playing Ledrue
Galloway on the left side of the
line, and either William Clarke or
Clark Morris on the right side.
Harold Stribling and ol Levinsky
are holding down the tackle position
and are shewing up well. Donald
Meyers may play tackle. There
are several men trying out for end.
Ed Levinson and George Benolken
are playing these positions well.
Floyd Green and Al Mahonev are
pressing these men hard for the po
sitions. William "Pete" Campbell will
pilot the team again this year. Ray
Clement will play one half-back po
sition and probably George Smith
the other. Frank Smock and Rod
man Brown may be given a chance
nt halfback. Beryl Mcston will
complete the backfield at full. The
hacks this year will be small, bul
fast, and look like a working combi
nation. Wrangel Wins Strategic
Potion for Bolsheviki
Coristafttinople," Sept. 21. (By The
Associated Press.) General Wran
gel's latest cavalry raid against the
bolsheviki in south Russia has won
him valuable .strategic positions on
the railway. More than 2,000 pris
oners and quantities of supplies were
taken, it is reported in advices from
the Crimea.
The cavalry, by a sudden dash,
surprised the bolsheviki and cap
tured the railway junction of Pet
ropavlovsk, as well as the town of
Oriakhoff. The Wrangel forces now
are menacing Alexandrovsk, about
90 miles inland from the Sea of
Azov.
The Japanese government has an
observer at Sebastopol, General

Prospects Rosy
At Creighton's
First Practice
Wealth of Backfield and End
Material Tvo Good Cen
ters in "Field Lack
Heavy Linemen.
Coach Eddie- Mulholland was
greeted yesterday by a wealth of
backfield and end material in an
swer to his first call for foot ball at
Creighton University. Heavy line
men were noticeably lacking.
Tom Berry, star center of the Blue
and White squad of two years ago,
was in uniform last night. With him
were "Tank" Manley, Jimmie Con
don, "Hump" Emery, Johnny Broz,
George Bentlage, "Doc" Dorwart.
Charley Little, Kelly, McAleer, Lo
gan and several other Creighton
men of last year. Among the new
comers, Kipp, who played tackle for
Dubuque college against Creighton
two years ago; Walter Reichle, an
end, and Jim Moriarity, former St.
Louis University full back, are"" most
promisingljust now.
Captain-elect "Mickey" Harmon,
Creighton star of the past two years,
will be in uniform today, Mulhol
land said. Johnnie Driscol and
Cliff Long, two other Blue and
White backfield men, are expected
to appear within a few days. Mein
hart, former St. Louis guard,' also
is expected to be out for foot ball.
He is attending dental school
1 Kipp and Condon probably will be
used as kickers, Condon doing the
punting and Kipp the dropkicking.
Mulholland intends to get down to
hard work as soon as the kinks are
worked out of the candidates, as the
opening game is scheduled for Oc
tober 2, a week from Saturday.
The Creighton High school team,
under the tutelage of Frank Marrin,
former Blue and White linesman,
faces much the same problem as the
varsity team does. There are plenty
of good fast backfield men and ends,
bill. f:w heavy linesmen. Bill Flynn
at tackle, last year's captain, is the
enly man thus far to display any
thing in the) line. Kelly, Shanahan
and Gruenther look like "good bets"
in the backfield.
The high school team meets Lin
coln in a preliminary to the Creigh-ton-Yankton
game, October 2, at
Creighton field.
Congress Will Be Asked
To Stop Base Ball Pools
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Sept. 21. Congress will
be asked to put its foot down hard
upon one of the most flourishing in
dustries in the country the base
ball pools President Ban B. John
son of the American league an
nounced yesterday that laws would
be sought to make betting on a base
ball game, major, or minor, a peni
tentiary offense.
President Johnson believes this
will1 be the only method by which
gambling can be prevented from
ruining the national sport. The
evil has spread to such formidable
proportions that federal interven
tion is the only hope of combatting
it. The fact that pool slips are dis
tributed broadcast by mail and ex
press over the entire country and
that telegraph and telephone wires
are employed in the nation-wide op
eration of the gambling system is
thought to lay the evil open to'j at
tack by the federal laws.
People outside the large cities
have no conception of the extent of
these base ball pools. They are put
cut in many forms and circulated
in all plants where numbers of men
and boys are employed. Women em
ployes are also engaged in the gam
bling to a remarkable extent. The
promoters of the pools rake down
immense profits and it is claimed
they have abundant funds to use in
debauching players on various teams
to throw games.
President Johnson believes Wash
ington should take a hand in pro
tecting the national sport. He says
he has amassed a large amount of
data on various players and was in
a position to make some sensa
tional disclosures. He reiterated
that he has not permitted the world
series -scandal of 1919 to rest and
that he still has detectives seeking
information.

Stat
Camouflage.
By NEVA FINLEY VERNES.
I still contend that I had no other
choice in the scandalous affair, and
with Heaven as my witness, I had
no intention of "landing him" as my
designing cousin Warren shameless
ly infers. Explicitly speaking, 'twas
the hand of fate alone that lured me
from my contented bachelorette
state, with a good position but
really, I am getting ahead of my
story.
It all began two years ago, one
moist August night, when Cousin
Warren dragged me to a dance at the
Country club. As a business woman,
sensibly inclined, I had little time
i for such frivolousness, and the ii"
' sanity of dancing bored me to shreds.
' After two or three arduous rounds,
Warren was only too glad to sit
them out with me.
"There is absolutely no hope for
you, Allie," cried Warren in despair.
"Why can't you at least be civil to
the boys?"
"That's my affair," I retorted cold
ly, dangling my program.
Real Iceberg.
"Who would think such a radiant
creature as your own fair self can
prove such a little iceberg?" he
mourned dolefully.
"I didn't come here to be insulted!"
I snapped, extending my claws and
goodness only knows what I might
have said had not Mrs. Struthers
come up to us. With her was a sec
ond lieutenant, rather a good-looking
sort, one of those popular heart
breaking he-vamps, by far too at
tractive to possess sterling qualities.
But for Warreu's discourtesy, I
might have dismissed him with a
cool bow, and thereupon ended that
affair abruptly, but I was too angry
to think of anything save getting my
features back in pleasant-looking or
der again.
As Mrs. Struthers touched my arrrt
I faced about, and smiled straight
into the very brown orbs of Mistef
LieutenantI 'He returned the com
pliment, so there was nothing at all
to do but behave like a sweet young
angel the remainder of the evening!
To my amazement I found Lieut.
Richard Somner quite a passable
sort, as far as second lieutenants go.
He was anything but the jazz-nour-'
ished, conceited type of dancing man
I was accustomed to meet here.
Though very boyish, there was a re
freshing sincerity about him that
well I thanked my stars that for
once in my spinsterly existence I
had not been wearied by a mere
man. .
I was silent as Warren and I
drove home under the pale stars.
Has Human bide.
"Forgive me, Allie," he pleaded as
he helped me out. "I was a cad. I
believe you are human, after all.-'
I let out my claws for a severe at
tack, but on second thought, . drew
them in again and purred. I co'uld
at least be a good sport.
"If all men were like my adorable
coz!" I cried, blowing him a good
night kiss. Rushing into my apart
ment, I banged the door noisily and
scowled.
A few days later I received a mys
terious special delivery letter, an in
nocent enough little affair, but the
handwriting was most glaringly a
gentleman's! Somehow my heart
raced oddly and I felt as shy as a
sc.Tool eirl ooeninz her first valen
tine as I absorbed every syllable of
that closely scrawled sheet.
I glanced up guiltily to find my
employer, Mr. Ensel, eyeing me
sharply. ' To my chagrin he winked.
"Clever camouflage, those stiff
white collars and cuffs and those
rubber-tiredi spectacles, but you can't
tool me, Miss Alice."
I was too startled to think of any
retort until after he had gone.
Invited to Dance.
The Aiessage was from Lieut.
Somner, as I expected, and he quite
casually informed me that he was
week-ending at the Struthers. The
remainder of the epistle was de
voted to the subject of asking me to
accompany him to the Saturday
night dinner dance at the country
club. I glanced at my calendar
yes, it was still Tuesday afternoon.
I was usually in excellent health, so
there was no use hoping that a head
ache or a touch of rheumatism would
develop in so short a time. I saw
no way out of the mess but to ac
cept graciously. Accordingly, I
spent two perfectly good hours of
the company's time shopping. I
hated dinner gowns, but it was up
to me to appear presentable, so I se
lected a lacey, frilly affair, such as
no normal-minded young woman
would wear. I could not for the life
cf me account for my strange ac
tions. I felt my pulse. It was
queer, too. 'What in the world, was
the matter with me?
Saturday rolled around at last,
finding me stiff and calm, on the
surface, and nervous as a witch,
within. . Locking up the office, I
rushed home to renovate the little
apartment Dad and I call "Home..
We did not keep a maid, as I thor
oughly enjoyed keeping house, for
Dad, and preparing my simple meals.
I spent an exciting afternoon sweep
ing, dusting and re-arranging the
furniture. I at least owed it to my
self to put the rooms in apple:pie
order, Richard Somner or no Rich
ard Somner. It was quite late when
I had finished, leaving me two
whole hours in which to relax and
dress. Our living room fairly coaxea
one into its comfy interior. .As 1
patted a cushion in place, I caught
sight of my reflection in the mirror.
"Dear me!" I cried, saluting my
checkered image, "If he could only
see me now." I wore a short blue
checkered coverall apron, and crown
ing my shining tresses, was a turk
ish towel wound turban fashion. I
smiled as I thought of the immacu
late Richard as I had seen him a few
nights ago. A longing seemed to
possess me to don the dinner gown,
much as I hated it. Surely I was
in an outrageous mood tonight
Dad wouldn't recognize his Bache
lorette ! j
Meets Dad. j
Dad's dinner was On the table i
ste-ming hot. when I heard his step
in the vestibule. Racing through
the hall I threw open the door, and
fhirp myself into h?s arms. ,
"Hurry, you old Hoodlum." I
cried, "and move fast, 'cause Allie'
actually got a date tonight!" ,
Dad didn't say a word he coul in t
because I twasn't Dad! I didn't
scream or faint, but I earnestly wish
ed I could have passed off into the
-x ' 1
great beyond. I stared into his face,
wild-eyed. Then it suddenly dawned
upon me that Richard Somner had
taken me unawares. I simply boiled I
"I'm so sorry, to have frightened
yoii, and it's all my fault."
Then he shook me off quite rudely
and sat down stiffly. I had actually
frightened him!
I know a scor of men who would
have welcomed such a situation, r.nd
made the most of it, hut not so Rich
ard Somner I
Message from Warren.
"I came with a message from
Warren," he stammered, mopping
his brow. "The cause of my inop
portune intrusion. Warren and Mis
Ackers are driving to Redland be
fore the dance and request that wc go
along. Ihey want us to stand up
with them." .
"What!" I gasped.
"They're getting married, you see."
Even this startling announcement
failed to stun me. To have been
caught in this outfit! My pride was
bent!
To my relief the phone rang. It
was dad, the old scalawag, pleading
business and saying he would not
be home to dinner.
"And I made hot biscuits, es
pecially for you," I pouted, with
real tears in my eyes.
"Do you know,. M.iss Alice,"
drawled Richard Somneri more at
ease, "I'd hate to see a perfectly
good dinner wasted, ad that re
minds me, I haven't had a thing
since luncheon."
Then my sense of humor saved
the day. The miserable situation be
came ridiculously funny, and I
laughed, as only an excited spinster
can.
"Wouldn't I ' make a charming
bridesmaid?" I giggled.
Likes Hot Biscuits.
"Oh, I say, I do love hot biscuits,
and I'm wondering "
"With a wedding on the program,
there's no time to lose," I replied
over my shoulder. "You'll have to
make yourself at home. The biscuits
are in the oven."
As I made my appearance at the
office the following morning, my
head in the air, Mr. Ensel hailed
me with:
"My dear Miss Alice, there's some
hope for you, after all."
I winced. There it was again I
Having been literally driven into the
society of man, what was expected
of me now?
"So Warren was married last
night?"
That was more in my line, so 1
smiled mv sweetest.
"And I caught the bride's bou
quet." I murmured dreamily, fiillinp
my fountain pen.
The telephone jingled shrilly.
"Miss Alice 1 On the wire!" shouted
the office boy with a wink. .
"Shh it's a he!"
T luirrieH to mv extension. The
clicking of the typewriters ceased.
The typists Igaped wide-eyed. I
could feci my senses reeling, for I !
somehow knew who was on the
other end of the wire.
Gets the Proposal.
"Alice," cried the voice, strangely
familiar, "I have been summoned to
Erie this morning. Forgive me for
calling you at your office, but I
had to tell you-I LOVE YOU AL
LIE! Allie will you marry me?"
And there I was I All my life I've)
been a child of awkward situations,
and this was the most unkindest cut
of all! There set a score of eager,
young inquisitives, waiting breath
lessly for my share in the conversa
tion. At any cost, I must use tact
"Allie, do you love me?"
I was pale as a ghost. My hands
were icy. What was a woman to
do? If I answered in the negative,
there must follow explanations; if
in the affirmative good heavens
"Why-er-yes," I answered weakly,
and bit my lip.
A volley of excited and endearing
phrases poured into my burning
ears. My fce was dyed' with
scarlet.
"And you'll marry me?"
I glanced around hastily, and
sighed. After all, it would be a
pity to take root in this establish
ment. At least, I had been tactful,
they would never know. iAs for
Richard Somner rhe was nice!
"Yes," I answered hurriedly, and
hung up.
