THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 1921. 6 Up - to - I Buffaloes Trim I Witches, 7 to 2, ! In First Game "Slim" Mead on Mound for Omaha, Pokes Ball Over Right Field Fence for Homer; Play Today. ELL, Frank Isabell's Wichita Witches re ceived quite a shock yesterday afternoon at the Buffaloes' pas ture, when the locals captured the first of a three-game series hy the score of 7 to 2. This was not the nly shock they received. Ihc Western league leaders were shock id at the punch possessed in Mana ger Barney Burch's hirelings, but the biggest shock of all came when 'he Buffaloes drove Paul Musser to ihe showers in the fourth frame. Musser, ever since his return from f'up there," has been rather a tough iut for the Western leaguers to 'track, but yesterday he was ham fnered from pillar to post in four Srames and forced to make room ror Maun. The latter held the Buttalocg n check from then on with the ex ception of the seventh inning, when jn error and hit resulted in an pmaha score. Mead Hurls Good aii. l "Slim" Mead. another hurler of she Davenport type, pitched a good We for the herd. He would have peen credited with a shut-out had Jjot "Whity" Gislason muffed Smith's ty in the eighth round, wmcn ai- owed Blakesby ana urimn to um er across the pan for the only tVichita tallies. Incidentally, we would like to in the fans that vesterday's vtc- rtrtf for the Buffaloes is the ninth Consecutive win for the home club. I Sioux City trounced Joplin, 7 to 6, ; fhereby continuing one point ahead ' f Omaha for second place. Meb--e, the Packers will lose this aftcr Jioon and the Buffaloes win. I The Buffaloes started out in the Initial inning, when Gislason singled. $Lelivelt doubled and the Buffalo f econd-sacker came home with the first marker. In the second stanza -ingle got on first on a fielder's JThoice and then Pitcher Mead pulled 'h unexpected and spanked the Alorsehide out of the lot for a homer, f'wo scores for that inning. P Two runs, walk and single in the 1 L'ourth and then Musser was given vhe gate, Maun being trotted out. Errors in this round by Catcher JIaley and Second Baseman Wash burn assisted the Buffaloes in chalk ' lg up their fifth and sixth scores. . 1 Gislason Singles. i Mason, who had been substituted lor "Mike" Massey at short, drew I base on balls. Lingle got a life n an error, Gislason singled and !hen Washburn made a bad peg to : iatchcrHaley. Mason scored dur . )g the mixup, and to top things off, Sieley got all fussed up and whipped "he ball over the pitcher's dome and r jingle scored. .1. The final Omaha score came in i(he seventh, when Haney reached i'iirstlon Washburn's second error nd scored when Lee poked a single : ,ut to Blasesby. In the eighth inning Butler started '; '.ff with a single. Blakesby hit a elder's choice and Butler was Nabbed' at second. Griffin clouted Jhe sphere out to right for a sirjgle . !nd , Blakesby advanced to third, -jvlaun sent up a sacrifice fly and l iiriffin, trotted down to second. With 'wo down and the smallest player rln the Western league at bat it poked as if Mead would get credit !or a shutout, but Midget Smith sent hp high one over second base. . -Uson was ready to take .the ball, 3ut Gislason galloped over and TnufTed said sphere, allowing two iunncrs to cross the plate. i . .t- . .i . i ,ocjn teams meet in me- secunu ame this afternoon.

(Editor' Nats Hrrs In the IJth suul tost of the mtIm of orticlrs which deul with ths mrty day of Jack Drmpsrs's hamomuii, pk'tumqua and ever interest ing career.) CHAPTER .XII. Jack Dempsey got $100 for gather ing in the best fistic lesson he learned in. his lifetime. "It came in my right with John Lester Johnson, the big negro," re lates the champion. "Johnson hurt me more in that battle than I've ever been hurt, but it was worth while. "Soon after my battle with Wild Bert Kennv. in New York, Tack Price, mv oal and so-called manager, had to hustle back west, because of illness in his family. I was pretty homesick by that time and tired of New York and 1 wanted to get bacK west more than I wanted anything in life. "But I couldn't make the trip then because I didn't have the cash. After Jack had bought his picket for home there were only a few dollars left in our joint bankroll. Jack turned that over to me and said: "'Go easy with it it may have to last a long time. Hustle around and get yourself a fight and make 'em pay you enough dough to get you back home. Wire me when you're leaving and I'll meet you in Salt Lake.' . "So I was left alone in New York, with just enough money to last me a week if I skipped a few meals here and there. I simply had to have a fight and began hunting up match makers. One of them offered me a battle against Johnson and he of fered mc $100 for my end. I never asked questions I just grabbed that fight. A hundred, dollars meant home for me and I'd have fought six men in one night to get it if I had to. lohnson was an all-fired husky hirH lonir of arms, lonir of legs, with an awful sock and cast iron jaw and tomach. I sailed into him in my, usual way with the first bell and it wasn't verv loner before I knew that my system of fighting was all wrong. "The negro was Dy iar me oesi and the cleverest man I had met up to that time. In most of my other fights the other fellow didn't know much more about science than I did. So we just slugged, and because 1 was a good slugger I usually won. And prior to that battle 1 aimea most of my attacks tor tne jaw roundhouse .right-hand .drives which knocked a fellow cuckoo if I landed or sent me wmrnng arouno uk fellow with St. Vitas' dance if I missed. . . Well, I started off rushing john- nn ,w nrin with everything I had. ! But I wasn't landing. Johnson knew ring trickery and he'd just step away from my rushes, sidestep or duck the swings and then let me have an awful one in the mouth. "It was in the third when Johnson got the opening he wanted one that followed a wild swing. He drove for my body with everything he had and I thought ne cavea m nc whnl aide. It was oerhaps the most terrific punch I ever felt i crusher. "How I stayed on my feet I don t know. But I did some way, some how and stalled through that round. When I got to my corner it was dis covered that Johnson's smash had broken some of my ribs. I couldn t learn then how- many, but afterward I found that he had caved m tnree with one wallop.- "As I sat in my corner, i tnougiu every second that I was going to collapse from pain. It seemed that 1,000 bone points were tearing around inside of me and my whole body seemed to be afire. I couldn t understand wny my sioc ama i Vu. open from the pain and let out a torrent of blood. ... . "ti, rnncr for the fourth banged and out I went. Johnson knew he had hurt me and he began maneuvering around to land to my body again. I hen, tor tne nrsi rcai time in my me, i reauy ucau use of defense tactics. Always be fore then I never cared where i was hit. A guard meant nothing in my life. I willingly let the other ieuow sock me five times for the privilege of hitting him just once. t "The cagey negro Kept aiming m attack for my body. I knew if he ever landed soldly again he d prob ably drive the broken rib ends into some of my internal organs. So I fought to protect myself. And I think l did a ratner rcai ju for only once after that did Tohnson reach my body and i tenaea on greatest power of that blow. "Along in the seventh I began to feel a little stronger, even though the pain was still terrible. So I went on the aggressive again anu through the closing rounds I smashed Johnson enough to make me feel I had gotten revenge for the busted "ribs he handed me. "I came out of that ttgnt a joi , & : ..a T Wljer aooux ring yvaimic nau had ever been before, it had taugni me more than I had learned in all the time before. It convinced me that a defense was ot vital necessity and it showed me the amazing value of a body punch in ring war fare. ' . . . , "Recalling how Johnsons smasn to my ribs had almost finished me, . 1 , . . 1 .1 . .....I.:... I aeciaea to icarn uouY-puuvuijiei my little self and use it thereafter. Refnre then anv ounches I sent to the body were accidental more than intentional. Hut irom mat aay on ; ; . , . j ... I practiced body-smashing-nd it s that attaCK, learnca x rougu niy ..g with tne oik "'" which enaoiea mc w ,v of more of the toughest men in the ring game. . "John Lester gave me quite a pounding that night in New York, but I'm grateful to him for it. For he taught unconsciously, of course, but all the same thoroughly that a man who aims for ring greatness must have a clever defense and, above all else, a mighty body punch. "If I hadn't fought, the negro that night it's likely I never would have JaADcmpys Career i become champion. For I was solely a chin-clubber before then without inclinations to change my style. And no man who is only a head puncher ever has risen to any special heights in the prize ring. ''As soon as I got my ribs patched up I packed my suitcases, hot-footed it for the railroad station and it was the Golden West and home, sweet home for me once more. "I made a vow then that I'd never fight again in New York unless I fought in defense of the heavy weight championship of the world. I kept that vow tor only a trine more than four vears from the night I fomrht John Lester Johnson 10 ter- Irible rounds for $100. I came back to the big town to fight Bill Brcn- nan for $100,000. "Life has more funny twists in it than a corkscrew, hasn't it?" Packers Take Early Lead; Beat Miners Sioux City, June 20. Bunched hits with bases on balls, gave Sioux City an early lead which Joplin could not overcome. The Miners rallied in the ninth, but fell one short of tying the score. The final count was 7 to 6.

Heavyweight Champion of the World (Copyright, 1921. by King Feature Syn dicate, . Inc.). Atlantic uty.iN N., June 20.-The moving picture folks came out Sunday afternoon and I put on a few extra stunts for them in the matter of train ing. One of them was rope skipping and, after I'd tried it for about two minutes, I guess everybody was willing to ad mit that Georges Carpentier has it all over me in the ma" - 't skipping. Four fast rounds with four differ ent boxers constituted the main work of the day. I started off with Eddie O'Hara, the middleweight and, as usually, he gave me plenty of exercise. He was in and out and away like a phantom and the work with him gave me a lot of practice in hitting flying targets. Then came Phila. Jack O'Brien, the veteran stripped for action and looking not more than 10 pounds away from the condition he knew 10 years or so ago when he was light heavyweight champion of the world. Jack asked to work out for round or so with me and I consented gladly. I didn't just know how to go about things when they called time. Should I sail into Jack, or should I go easy with him? I didn't have to wait long for the answer. The old timer whirled into me with the speed of a cyclone and in about three seconds the air be came full of-flying gloves. I didn't expect him to show anything like that and for a half minute or so, I I - Ruth's Homer In Tenth Beats Boston Red Sox 'Babe' Hits First Ball Pitched In Final Inning Over Left Field Fence Hendryx Injures Hand.

Omahan Wins Shoot Minden, la., June 20. Ray Kings ley of Omaha won the trapshooting tournament here Sunday with 147 out of ISO. had to fiddle around trying to gauge him. , . All the while Jack was attacking, and with the old time vigor. That fellow surely is a wonder yet, and I can easily appreciate now, why he was a terror in the days of his real greatness. He showed a splendid, defense, a very tricky attack, and whenever I reached cut in the early part of the round for a smack at his nose, he ducked or sidestepped, or fell into a cfinch. We were going at it right merrily and I was just beginning to solve Jack's method, when Teddy Hayes ended the fun with a call of time. I'm sorry that Jack isn't sufficiently active in ring warfare now to serve as a regular sparring partner. What a wonderful help he would be. After O'Brien came Larry Wil liams for a round and then I took on Jack Renault. I'd hoped that maybe "Battling" Ghee would be eager to try things again, but after the negro got into ring harness he asked whether I wouldn't postpone his workout until today. I did. When the boxing was over O'Brien and I, engaged in a shoving contest and I guess I earned what you would call the popular decision. That's a form of exercise which con sists of standing in wrestlers' atti tude. You put one band n l'le other fellow's chest, he puts a hand on yours. You shove. The one that shoves the other fellow away is the winner of that shove. Each shoving contest consists of about 100 dif ferent shoves. I didn't have much trouble shoving Jack around and a half dozen times I lifted him off his feet. Several times I shoved him back against th ropes and once, with an extra hard shove, I sent him spinning back ward and he went to his back on the floor. It was great exercise and I'd liked to have kept'it up for about 10 minutes, but Teddy again called time just when thincs were gettina inter-J esting. to Sport Fans Tex Richard May Be Third Man in Ring During Fight New York, June 20. fail ure to reach an agreement as to who shall be the referc in the chain pionshp battle between Car penticr and Dempsey on July 2 has caused Tex Rickard, t h r . promoter o' the show, tc announce that he might ster TT jrUsMi. 1 i. i J in and officiate iex rickard. himself.
