Umpire:- Qulgley and O'Day. v May Refuse to Allow Rickard to Charge $ 1 5 For Ringside Seats Chicago Tribane-Omaha Bee Leased Wire Milwaukee, April 30. The New Jersey state boxing commission will either refuse to allow Tex Rickard to charge more than $15 ringside for his Dempscy-Carpentier fight or the state commission will be expelled from the National Boxing associa tion, said Walter P. Ligingcr, presi dent of the association, today. , "When the commission was formed in New York last January," said Liginger, "the matter of prices for championship matches was threshed out. It was agreed unani mously that $15 was plenty for any kind of a boxing bout, no matter who the principals might be. They all subscribed to this clause. ' I had the matter up with. the late Joseph Smith, chairman of the New Jersey committee, at the time he was taken ill. I have now written the New Jersey commission-asking by what authority Rickard is to charge 50 for ringside chairs." Where the Amateur Leagues Play Today ' City Learue.

" ' " ' 1 Horemans started playing billiards 0 NEXT WlTHPUflarPAto Cheap Sir. Others may call you dear, but you'll always be the same old cheap to me. When you claim that pills had anything to do with Doc Robins' natural ferocity your assertion is as foolish as claiming that Volstead had anything to do with prohibition. Doc Robins was known near and narrow as the Un branded Ox. He whacked Gink with a loaded hoof. Gink made a wild stab at the floor with his chin. Doc stood there reciting an ode to Roughtown entitled "There goes an other lily into the valley." Don't let those glucose-eaters with the pink ears steer you wrong on this. Yours, hoping for authentic mis information. SAM REYNOLDS, Omaha. Gink I'owlcr was like 13 on the dice. No man ever threw him. The Unbranded Ox lived in luxurious forgery for .almost five minutes by claiming to have stopped Gink. That's as wrong as drinking directly out of the finger bowl. Everybody knows you should use a spoon. The Unbranded did stop Gink. And asked him for a match. Rough town is the place where they first figured it was bad fortune to light three dynamite bombs on one match. That superstition has spread all over, until now no wise crackers will waste one good match on three bum banquet cigars. . . RING CONSTRUCTION VERY ECCENTRIC. The Roughtown ring was con structed very eccentric. The canvas was marked off like a roulette chif fonier. There was no betting on the number of rounds. Neither was there any wagering as to the iden-'was Amateur Base The Omaha Bee is today publish ing an amateur base ball directory of the teams, managers, their ad dresses and telephone numbers in the City," American, Gate City and Church" leagues.

Vhcn he was a youngster. During his early boyhood days the Belgian was a night watchman in one of the stores located in his home town. Later he moved to Antwerp and found em ployment in a clothing store where he became a shirt salesman. In the evenings Horemans found enjoyment in playing billiards and soon became the best cue shot in town. He won the championship of his country and then tackled the Eu ropean championship laurel?, which he won without much trouble. When the European champ wields the cue in Omaha Monday and Tues day local green cloth followers will get a chance to glue their glimmers on a player who lias been striving to make matches with Hoppe for the 18.1 and 18.2 balk-line champion ships of the world, lie holds rec ords under European conditions that outciass anything ever done in com mr QN& tity of the ultimate consumer of the resin. The burlap was clocked off from 1 to 36.' Four numbers were house numerals. The Prince of Monaco is in the country now. He only takes the double O atid the single O for his bit. But Rough town grabbed off four numbers for the management. We were unable to interview the prince on this sub ject as he was busy figuring out a new way to spell Betelgeuse without lessening the magnificent distance. Roughtowners used to bet on th-i red and black. If Gink knocked his man on the red territory, his ad mirers cashed in many dishes of delicatessen. If he slapped him via the black squares, his cohorts would get bowlegged carrying off the plun der. But if he crashed him into the neutral zones, the house got the gravy. . m ROUGHTOWN WAS ROULETTE DIZZY. Marquis of Hoyl; rules permeated this genial atmosphere. Roughtown was roulette dizzy. The unbranded was frisked before the battle. A cold -deck was grabbed out of each one of his mittens. They started. Gink led with a small trump. The Ox refused it. Gink slapped him with double pinochle and the Ox fell into number 36. Gink won. But Roughtown was busted. For the first time in history the triple X had been plastered on the burg. And Gink Fowler, the man who put the village on the fancy maps, was staked to a' tour on a rail.' They tried to tar and feather Gink, but he appointed a proxy.

Upon coming to this country Horemans encountered a problem of getting used to smaller balls, a faster cloth and lower tables, but al ready has gained such familiarity with them that he already has sur passed his best European run' with a cluster of 701 in a New York ex hibition and made 25 others of 300 or more at 18.2. as well as runs of 246 and 207 at 18.1.

"No!" I protested. "Yeah," rejoined the Kid, "an w'en I reads 'at story. I'm sure gonna 'ave a bucket an' a mop handy." "Get out of here!" I exclaimed. The Kid grinned.

Finally they got off on a country road and sped along to a farmhouse where the villainous Jack Applobloom had a fake paraon planted for a mock wedding. In fact everything about the whole affair was camouflage, even the soup at the wedding dinner was mock turtle. Jack mentioned the fact to Elaine that they were going to be married snd she was quite surprised. "I thought you were Just a klddcr. Jack dear," the innocent little burlesque girl exclaimed when she learned about the wedding. "But If you Insist, we'll go ahead." They had duet finished the mock turtle soup when the mock minister satd: "I halts to hurry you two, but I've got a date to go to a movie tonight with one of the ladles of the congregation and I'M have to get through with this wedding right away." 'Oh. that's all right, don't mind us." said Jack Applebloom. "If you are in a hurry, we'll accomodate you." They stood up and the mock minister periormea ine moca ceremony.
