Good pitching won another garttp
for the Omaha Buffaloes yesterday
afternoon when
Jack Coffey's Des
Moines Boosters
lost the second
contest of the se
ries by the scon:
of 5 to 1. Lefty
Daniels was on
the mound for
liurch's hirelings,
and the southpaw
heaved as nice a
game as could he
expected of any pitcher.
The Boosters collected only six
bingles off the offerings of "Lefty"
during the nine innings lie occupied
the box. Half of this number were
'doubles, while' the others were just
. plain single base blows. He was in
tight places a couple of times, but
4-n each occasion the side was re
tired without any damage being done
along the line of scores.
Three visitors hit the breezs lof
the well-known strike out, while not
one Booster trotted down to first
base without first giving the Buffa
loes a chance to throw 'em out at
the initial station. , , .. .
Receives Good Support.
Daniels received die regular Oma
ha support and that means a great
deal when it ' comes to winning an
vl' ball game. "Whitcy" Gislason,
llaney and Mas icy... made a flock of
j?ood stops, and this, coupled with
the work of the three Buffalo pas
ture performers, robbed the lowans
,of several good hits.
Jack Lchvelt, who holds down the
first sack for the Buffaloes, wal
loped out a double and a single in
three times up. His sacrifice in the
eighth resulted in two runs, while
bis double in the first inning scored
Gislason. Incidentally, Lclivelt
;boosted his total number of hits
since the season started tlJ4. He
.was the first Western leaguer to
(pass the century mark with bingles
and is giving Harper of Oklahoma
City a close race for first place in
hitting.
Lynch was Coffey's selection for
the afternoon's entertainment. This
lanky Booster hurler had three bad
innings during which the Buffaloes
captured their five tallies. The first
stanza was a tough one for Lynch,
but he weathered the storm and
cruised along nicely until the fourth
when he ran into a small herd of
; Buffaloes. Again he pulled through
without Manager Coffey flashing the
S.-"U. i. to the Lies Moines dugout.

New York, July 6. Tex Rickard discussed boxing and
possible future boxing bouts with remarkable frankness yes

reporter asked. "It seems to be the logical
one. Wills will give Jack a harder fight than
any other contender in sight.
"Yes" he replied. "You're right
Harry is the toughest of all the boys
who are knocking on the door of
the champion. A bout between
Dempsey and Wills would be a great
one. But I will not stage it never
theless.
A Permanent Business..
"Listen. If I gave no thought for
tomorrow I would put on a Dempsey-Wills
match and would make
just as much money out of it as I did
out of jast Saturdays great contest.
probably would make more, tor
the gate would be ahnpst as large
and the expenses not one-third , as
much.
"But I'm m boxing as a permanent
business. My future depends on the
future of boxing. I've fSOO.UOO tied
in boxing. I'm not going to take any
chances on ruining the business.
"Prooositions were made to me to
stage a Johnson-Wills contest for
the colored heavyweight champion,
Demosev-Wills match and a
Dempsey-Willard match. For the
game's sake I refused to consider
any of them.
"I will not stage any mixeel heavy
weight contests. I know what hap
pened over the Jefferies-Johnson
match and how near boxing came to
beine killed for all time. A Demp
sey-Wills match would revive all the
old racial prejudices and feelings and
stir up a countrywide protest against
boxing. A Johnson-Wills contest
would be injurious to the game.
Johnson's record precludes his be
ing a principal in any bout I put on.
It would give the reformers too
much ammunition. ',
4 Would Be Massacre. -"I'm
not going to have anything
to do with anything except a hye
sporting venture. A Dempsey-wu-lard
match would be a massacre."
"Well, who do you consider a
uitable opponent for Dempsey?' ,
"Bill Brennan looks to De tne oniy
heavyweight rival for Dempsey " I
would take a' chance on,", he replied.
"Dempsey would break Bob Martin
in two. Frank Moran certainly is
no match for the champion. Tom
Gibbons is a light-heavyweight and
the logical contender for the world's
heht-heavvweight title now held by
Carpentier;- Ah, there's a good
match for you Carpentier against
Gibbons. It will prove a regular
humdinger, the pair are evenly
matched in height and weight and
the contest should be a thriller.
"Say, isn't the Frenchman a won
der? What a heart! What a punch I
He s the greatest man of his pounds
and inches I ever saw. Hopelessly
outclassed he gave Dempsey a thrill
ing gol What a battle Carpentier
and Gibbous should furnish I -
Carpentier-Gibbons Go.
"I'm going to meet Francois Des-
camps today or I nursaay ana
see if I can arrange a Carpentier
Gibbons match for Labor day. I
don't believe I will have any trouble.
Both Descamps andCarpentier seem
anxious for it. Then- if everything
goes right 1 11 put on Dempsey and
Brennan the month afterward. May
be on October 12, Columbus day, or
perhaps a week or so later."
"What will you guarantee Carpen
tier and Gibbons?" was asked.
"I'll not guarantee them a penny,"
Rickard snapped. "I'm through with
euarantees. Boxers will have to
gamble on things as well as myself
hereafter. I'm tired ot carrying an
the worry and vexations on my
shoulders. Hereafter I'll stage all
my matches on a percentage basis.
This goes for everyone from Demp
sey down to Jimmy Wilde.
"Guarantees are against all feason
and business ethics. Promoters have
heen held un bv boxers lone enough.
It is time the boxers assume an equal i
share ot tne responsipinues. ino rcai
fellow will shirk it."

Dempsey-Johnson Go
For World War Vets
Los Angeles, July 6. Proposal of
a bout between Jack Dempsey and
Jack Johnson was telegraphed to
Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey,
at New York last night by Capt. J.
M. C. McCaw, British.war veteran,
here. The proposal was endorsed by
E. H. Calvert and G. B. Manly, who
have been handling wrestling bouts
here to raise funds for Los Angeles
post No. 1, disabled veterans of the
world war, ot wnicn tney are mem
bers. McCaw proposed that Dempsey
and Johnson meet Labor day and
SO per cent of the net receipts be
divided between the fighters and SO
per cent to go to the local post
of the disabled veterans. "
Calvert said the matter would be
taken up by the local post of dis
abled veterans for approval Friday
night by directors of the post.
Can Have Bout.
New York, July 6 The public
can have a Dempsey-Johnson match
if it wishes, but I believe there is
no demand for the bout now o-r in
the near future," Jack Kearns, man
ager of Tack Demosey, said today
on learning that Captain J. M. Mc
Caw of Pasadena had offered the
champion a guarantee cf $200,000 to
box Jack Johnson on Labor day.
Keafns stated that he had drawn
no color line on behalf of the cham
pion, but suggested that Johnson
should meet Harry Wills or another
leading boxer before being consid
ered for a championship match. ,
Fan Robs Ruth of
Thirty-Second Homer
i 1
New York. July 6. "Babe" Ruth
would have been credited with two
home runs instead of one yesterday
had not an enthusiastic fan tried to
catch the ball in the bleachers.
Ruth's high drive mingled with the
clouds and was descending just on
the edge of the right field stands
when the fan jumped up and di
verted the ball into the field. Ruth
was on third base but Umpire Con
nolly sent him back to second under
the ground rules.
f Ruth has 31 homers to his credit
with New -York yet to play three
games before reaching the half way
mark of the season. At this rate the
Yankee slugger would hit at least
64 home runs, ten more than last
year.

X Earl EkyK-W.T
Paris, July 6. Georges Carpentier
still believes that he is able to knock
out Jack Dempsey. He believes
the reason he did not do it on July
2 at Jersey City was due to the big
ness of the boxing gloves.
In an interview with the New
York correspondent of L'lntran
sigeant, Carpentier declared:
"But for the last minute conces
sion to the reformers to use eight
ounce instead of four-ounce gloves I
would be heavyweight champion of
the world today.
"The additional weight of the
gloves saved Dempsey from a knock
out in that second round.
France concedes all the glory of
victory to Jack Demosey. but con
fidently believes that Georges Car
pentier one day will be heavyweight
champion of the world.
Carpentier, it is believed, will now
fight his way through the light
heavyweight class in the United
States and will then be prepared to
enter a ring for a second contest
with the heavyweight champion. No
one can be found in Paris who be
lieves Carpentier will give up his
hope of becoming the premier boxer
of the world.

Contradictory descriptions have
