Good Dish for Fans v In scheduling the meeting for v Omaha, Secretary Trimble landed what local and state turf fans have been anxious to witness for years. The fact that several of the leading runners in the country will compete for purses totaling more than $15,000 is but one of many indications that the meeting will be one of the larg est ever held in this section of the United States. The Ak-Sar-Bcn running races will he held during the dull season for the big gallopers.

M'Auliffe Changes Opinion About Big Fight By JACK M'AULIFFE, Only T'nbeatm World's Champion Boxr. Written for tlis International News Service New York, Jan. 26. I believe that I am qualified to discuss fight ers of the past and present, having retired twenty-four years ago as un defeated lightweight champion of the world. Since I began mv career as an amateur I have followed the fortunes of boxers. , I have seen all of the good ones of my time come and go and have made a study of them, and I be lieve that among present-day cham pions Jack Dempsey, Benny Leon ard and Jack Britton are the only ones who can compare with the old timers. ' Naturally enough, the coming bat tle between Dempsey and Carpentier is the most interesting, topic of the day wherever boxing fans congre gate. Everyone is trying to figure . out who will be the winner when these two men meet. ' I's Dempseys Now. My honest opinion is that Demp sey will beat the Frenchman. I do not believe that Carpentier will have a chance. Previously I made a state ment to the contrarV, but that was before I came into personal contact with Carpentier. A sparred with Car pentier1 durine his' las,t visit to this country and Inave'also sparred with Dempsey. As a result I can see noth ing to the coming' fight but Demp sey. Carpentier is an extraordinarily clever boxer and can deliver a knock-out blow, but. after all, he is only a student who ha learned the science of boxing. He !s not a nat ural fighter. Furthermore, he is some twenty pounds lighter than Demp sey. and this weight is a great handi cap, too much of a handicap, I think, for Carpentier to overcome. Dempsey. on the other hand, is a natural fighter. Hr is not a boxer. H has i punch like the kick of a Elected Officer of Nebraska and South Dakota Running Circuit XHAfcLtS L.

Local Legion Cage Team After Contests With State Quintets , The Douglas county post of the American Legion is " angling for basket ball games. The locr.l post is represented by what members or the organization believe to be one of the strongest quintets in the' state and they are anxious to prove this statement. Any Legion teams :n Nebraska or Iowa wanting contests with the Douglas county, quintet are re quested to communicate with Jake Isaacson, Star Shoe company, Omaha, Neb. The Omaha squad prefers to meet American Legion teams, although it ivi11 piny any quintet, no i matter how la-ge or 6tnall.

Legion teams in the state anxious to enter! this tourney should write to the committee at Lincoln. St. Louis Nationals Release Two Players St. Louis, Jan. 26. Henry Busher, an infielder from Edwardsville, 111., and Fred Miller, a pitcher from the lodal semi-professional ranks, have been released to the Springfield. Mo., club of the Western association by the St. Louis Nationals, it was an nounced Tuesday night. Miller Park Team Wins The Miller Park community cen ter basket Sail team defeated the Pirates by the score of I) to Monday night. The Pirates are rfter games with teams composed of players averaging 13 years of age. For contests call Wilbur Thelcen. Walnut 4969. Drake Beats Aggies. Des Moines, la., Jan, 26. The Drake basket ball team was defeated by the Kansas Aggies quintet last night 27 to 20. It was the last game in the -present Iowa trip for the Kansas men. mule. With his rushing tactics I believe he will sweeep Carpentier off his feet, using his most powerful blows until he has finished his man which, I think, will be in short order. I have been asked by many boxing fans for my opinion of the Demprey Brennan fight whether I thought it indicated that Dempsey has started to go back. To this question I have answered in the negative. It took Dempsey twelve rounds to dispose of Brennan because he boxed with the Chicago boy to give the crowd a good run for its money. He attempted to defeat Brennan by box ing him. Dempsey is not a boxer, and in trying to show as one he lost his stride the same as a harness horse loses his stride when he "breaks."

(Special.) The local basket hall team trounced th St. Paul Legion quintet here by the score of 82 to 17, In a hard-fought and Inter esting; game. i Dempsey started to box Brennan in the first round. That is where he "broke." And it took him eleven rounds to get his "stride' back again I must say that Brennan is a good man, but not in Dempsey's class. As for the scheduled Willard Dempsey fight, Willard hasn't a chance to regain his title. He will be little more than' a punching bag for Dempsey if they meet again. To my mind, the only present-day fighters who can be compared to the old-timers are Dempsey, Benny Leonard and Jack Britton, for most of them are kangaroos, or dancing masters. Leonard is a real fighter and a clever boxer. So is Britton, While Dempsey is a veritable cy Omaha and Council Bluff fans are THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, JANUAK 'SilL.
