By "WAG." v
"Kid" Schlaffor. Omaha scrapper,
and Jack leahy, Winner, S. D., maul
er, have come to the 5 o'clock whis
tle so far as their training is con
cerned. Little left for them to do,
now save keeping windpipes clean
and as true as a willow whistlefor
the bout in the City Auditorium to
morrow night.
Schlaifer has worked hard for this
bout, harder, indeed,,than the clever
Leahy, who promises to explode a
very ambitious young scrapp'er from
the South Side. Schlaifer must whip
Leahy if he is to make for himself
the matches which his manager has
outlined for him this winter. It will
not do to simply outpoint his oppo
nent's box of tricks.
Chance for. Leahy.
Leahy has set the fashion with re
gard to Harry Reed knocked hini
out as cold as an old-fashioned gin
rickey in five rounds. Schlaifer has
boxed Reed on three different oc
casions, but has yet to put the game
little Lincoln lightweight to sleep
on the canvas. The fact that Leahy
sent Reed to dreamland in the mid
dle ofi bout has boosted his stock
among focal boxing fans and Schlai
fer must do a little knocking out
along those lines or suffer a fearful
slump in the attraction market.
This is Leahy's greatest oppor
tunity to score. Should he' finish
the Omaha welterweight during the
early stages of the mill, then he is
traveling right along the right road
to good matches and more coin.
But, should the Hebrew lad from the
South Side win, then Omaha follow
ers of the boxing game will be re
questing the Legion to staee-aaother
show with Schlaifer and some good
bov in the semi-windup.
Both fighters appear to be in the
pink of physical condition. Schlaifer
has rid hfmself of the little super
fluous flesh he was carrying, and in
his boxing Friday and Saturday
showed plenty of speed and clever
ness. The "Kid" took on "Kid"
Graves for four rouds and he car
fried the former scrapper along at an
' exceedingly fast clip, after whjch he
slugged away wi'.h another training
partner.
'Expect Large Crowd. f
Leahy has been trainfhg at the
Creighton gymnasium. The South
Dakota lad appears to be in the best
of condition and Friday showed
improvement over his workouts early
in week. He will wind up his train
ing today and take only a light ex
ercise tomorrow morning. He will
rest in the afternoon.
Jake Isaacson, chairman of the
Douglas County post of the Ameri
can Legion, which is staging the
show, announced yesterday that the
advance sale for the bout had been
most satisfactory, but added there
are plenty of seats at popular prices.
"Every chair is in its place," said
Isaacson, "the policing and usher
ing arrangements have been perfect
ed and the bouts will start on time."
Pete Herman and ,
Joe Lynch to FigW
New York, Nov. 6. Pete Her
man, the bantam champjon, has ar
rived from New Orleans looking
v for matches. Herman says he has
been matched by the International
Sporting club to meet Joe Lynch in
a battle for the title. No date has
been set for the bout as yetbecause
the International has not decided
upon a battleground. Herman also
expects to meet Jimmy Wilde be
fore the 1. S C, provided the little

began playing base ball. Steve is
the backstop of the Cleveland Amer

is all there is to the description.
There are other catchers in Cleve
land, but the Forest City fans are
not well acquainted with them, for
Steve is such a star that he works
every day, while men like Les Nuna
maker and Chester Thomas, both
good catchers, are holding down
bench jobs and warming uo pitchers
in the bull pen.

Would Help to
Keep Base Ball
Well-Known Sporting Writer
Says That Game Requires
Legal Safeguards for Pro
tecting of Sport.
V
New York, Nov. 6. (Special.)-
Mr. Frederick G. Lieb, a well known
sporting writer, says that the newly
proposed board of control can do
much for base ball. - But even more,
the game fequires legal safeguards
which will make facing or throwing
ball games a precarious business.
The penalty should be made so dras
tic that even the base ball weakling
will hestitate a long time when the
sugared words of temptation are
whispered into his ears.
' The crooked trail followed by Hal
Chase,, formerly base ball's greatest
fi-st baseman, would end in a striped
uniform if the game were adequately
protected by the laws of the land.
Chase Under Indictment.
Chase now is under indictment by
the Cook county grand jury in Chi
cago, but it is doubtful if a convic
tion can be brought against him.
The National league had legal evi
dence of'liis guilt in 1918, yet all 'his
could ao was expulsion iruia uie
league.
With base ball having such an in
fluence on our national life as to
lhave President Harding advise labor
to strive for production as Babe
Ruth hits home tuns, it is fitting
that base ball be protected by feder
al statutes. Racing and pugilism are
under supervision of state laws in
such commonwealths where these
sports are permitted; it, therefore,
would be nothing new to have the
government take a parental interest
in the national game.
Most members of the senate and
house of representatives are de
votees of-base ball. Especially is
Senator Hiram Johnson, a 33d de
gree fi. In public utterances he
has told of how badly he felt over
the disclosures that base ball was
not 100 per cent honest. Nicholas
Longworth, congressman from Cin
cinnati, already has announced his
intention of introducing legislation
which will stop gambling in base
ball. With Hiram Johnson spon
sor to such a bill in the senate and
Longworth supporting it inthe
house there should be no difficulty in
passing it.

Cambridge Will Play
Commerce for State
High School Honors
The High School of Commerce
foot ball team and the Cambridge
(Neb.) eleven' wil' prohably meet at
the latter's gridiron Thanksgiving
day tor tire state Jngh school grid
championship. This was announced
following a meeting of the Nebraska
state high school athletic board.
Cambridge defeated Baird Friday
for the right to meet the Bookkeep
ers in a state title clash. The for
mer eleven has a clean slate and is
considered one of the strongest
teams in the state this season. Com
merce also has a strong aggregation
of gridsters and when the two squads
clash the locals will be the favorites.
V. H. Brooks, Nebraska City; O.
A. Wisig, West Point; W. G. Bra
ham, Sidney, and R. L. Moritz. Sew
ard, Neb., were elected directors of
the board. A committee of four
members was appointed to work
with the board in "arranging the an
nual state high pchool basket ball
tournament, which is scheduled to
he held at Lincola in March. It is
planned to divide the tourney into
sections this season.
Managers Fighting
Over Capt. Roper
. $
Rob Roper, the Chicago heavy
weight; must be getting along pret
ty fast. Captain Bob is the storm
center of a dispute among a flock
of managers, all of whom are
anxious to guide his fistic destiny,
a sure sign that he is above tHe
ordinary.
Charley Cutler, the wrestler
claims to iTave a contract with the
fighter extending over a period of
five years. Roper disputes this, and
says that Cutler has no right to dis
cuss his affairs with promoters. It
seems that Cutler has threatened to
institute injunction proceedings if
Roper appears under any other man
agement, and Roper complains that
this makes it difficult for him to
obtain matches.
It was Cutler who grabbed big
Jess Willard when the giant was
roaming lopse looking for a man
ager. Tom O'Rourke and various
other local managers of fighters all
passed up Willard at that time, and
he finally drifted to Cutler. When
Tom Jones decided that he could
make a champion out of Willard,
Cutler allowed the .big fellow to get
away from him without putting up
much of a fight. Cutler evidently
does not intend to make any more
mistakes of that kind.

Levinsky Soft, So
'Carp' Is Wide Open
Uritish Cartoonist Says French
Boxer Has Many Styles
Of Fighting.
Tom Webster, famous cartootJlisi
of the London "Daily Mail," vho
I as been vacationing in the Un ited
States for three months, has sailed
lor home from New York. 1 'om
is one of those regular fellows, v ery
'rt,wl nf Knvinir ulin tievrT m rer.
looks an opportunity to see the bhyt
jcrforni. f
It is when Georges Carpentirr'a
name is mentioned that Webster
grows enthusiastic. The artist htj
watched Carpentier come along frotn
the bantam to the heavyweight di
vision and is satisfied the French
man is the greatest fighter in th
world.
"Carpenticr's style was severely
criticized bythe experts atter his
fight with Levinsky, but the people
don't know him," he said. "Car
psjitier's style is governed by the at-N
titude of his opponent. If his op
ponent is a clever worker the
Frenchman performs accordingly.
Should he meet a soft mark like Le
vinsky, he is likely to abandon re
spect for cleverness, and pitch in
headlong in his desire to complete
the iob. ' ....
"That is what happened in nis
fight with Levinsky. The American
proved nothing more than a station
ary target, and when Georges missed
a feJwild swings, it is true he looked
bad, but he is not likely to do that
while facing a man like Dempsey.
' .."Another thing about the French
man, is his absolute confidence in
himself. Carpentier told me he did
not consider Dempsey a superman,
and had no fear of Jack's wallop.
Carpentier thinks he carries a fairly
healthy punch himself, and believes
that any time he hits a man on the
button, the latter is likely to leave
the picture."
When asked if there was I any
chance that Carpentier's defeat of
Beckett was a fluke, Webster dropped
a pencil to explain. "Not a bit.
Carpentier'tanned Beckett that night
in one round and can do the same
thing again. Carpentier is the clais,
I tell you, and don't overlook him.
He'll stand a chance with Dempsey
or any other man he fights."
