THE Hl.l: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JUL.
The Buffaloes Are Here -Open Series With Wichita This Afternoon
Burch and His Buffaloes Arrive
In Town Squad Won Nine Out
Of Thirteen Games on Road Trip
ARNEY BURCH and his Omaha Buffaloes, who
had the pleasure of leading the Western league
cheese cloth race for one day, dropped in the
village yesterday afternoon ready to open a four
game series with the Wichita league leaders this
afternoon at the Fifteenth street pasture.
The Buffaloes are returnine from a road
trip which has taken them to Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Wich
ita and Joplin, where are camped four of the strongest
teams in the circuit. During their trip the locals have en
gaged in 13 contests, winning nine and losing the remaining
four, thereby chalking up a mark which is a credit to any
team for playing on foreign soil.
Barney's herd started kiekinir uoS
a iuss which eventually put them in
first place at Tulsa. The Buffaloes
romped rough-shod over the Oilers
, and annexed the four-game series by
scores of 7 to 1..4 t o2, 11 to 5 and
11 to 7. Following the Tulsa en
gagement the Buffaloes were herded
over to Oklahoma City. Here they
succeeded in closing in on the In
dians after the first game, which
they lost, 3 to . 7. and won the final
two affairs by scores of 9 to 5 and
7 -to 4,
Wichita entertained the locals
-next and they celebrated the occa
sion by biting off a big chunk of
Buffalo meat in the initial contest
by the count of 10 to 2. Omaha
-.came back, however, in the second
game and won, 4 to 1. and on the
following day cast a spell over the
JrWitches, whmh resulted in an 8 to
5 victory for the locals. The final
Buffalo victory over Wichita virtu
ally put the league leaders and the
local club on an even footing, as
only three points were between the
two teams. -
Joplin was next on the schedule.
The first game was a nip-and-tuck
affair, with the Buffaloes doing most
of the nipping, winning by the score
of' 12 to 11. It was this victor., and
Wichita's defeat by St. Joseph that
put the Buffaloes at the top of the
list. They remained there by a day,
as the Miners came back in the sec
ond contest and won 13 to 2, while
Wednesday the Joplin sluggers
copped the final game from Omaha,
9 to 2, and Wichita again trounced
St. Joseph. - ,

Sam Langford Rocks "Bearcat"
Wright to Sleep in Ninth McArthur
And Schmalzer Battle to Good Draw
HE . coldly methodical
walloper, Sam Lang
ford, found Ed (Bear
cat) Wright no tough
customer in their
scheduled 10-round
bout at the Western
league ball park
Wednesday night.
The "Boston Tar
Babv" danced around
his opponent like a lightweight for
eight rounds and then in the ninth
took Wright's measure when he dis
abled him with a terrifc blow over
the stomach just below the heart
and flattened him out on the canvas
with a stiff jolt on the. jaw.
Fur Flies in the Eighth.
During the first seven rounds of
fighting Manager Mullen's charge
worked cooly With a left jab and left
hook as Wright rushed in to slug.
The "Bearcat" worked hard at close
quarters, but at long range was at
a disadvantage.
In the eighth frame Wright
bounced out of his corner like a
wildcat and started mussing up
Langford's map. The husky negro
from Boston grinned as Wright
planted lefts and rights on his face,
and, when he finally decided that
his opponent had landed enough
blows, opened up. The leather mit
tens were flying thick and fast in
Wright's corner wh'en all of a sud
den Langford shot his left over flush
on the "Bearcat's" jaw. The South
Omaha heavy flopped to the canvas,

Wright Is Willing.
The fourth time, the last time, the
time that the Boston heavyweight
ended the hopes of the Omaha heat
er that he could stay 10 rounds with
a battering machine like Langford,
Wright flopped to the canvas and
stayed there. He lay in the center
of the ring with his right arm
crooked under his head as Referee
"Curlev" Ulrich tolled off the 10
seconds that rung the curtain down
on one of the best fistic entertain
ments that has ever been staged in
Omaha.
In the semi-windup between Earl
McArthur of Sioux City and Frankie
Schmalzer of Milwaukee, local fans
had a chance to cast their glimmers
on a pair of bantamweights who
fought like wildcats from gong to
gong, each trying hard to slip over
that ol' sleep producer, which every
boxer is eager to land.
However, after 10 rounds of the
fastest milling seen in a local ring,
Referee Ulrich pronounced the mill
a draw. The Minnesota state official
was just in his decision, although
there were many present who were
of the opinion that the Iowan had
the best of the contest. To those
who were sitting in the grandstand
McArthur perhaps had the better of
the scrap, but to those who were
at the ringside it appeared different
Harry Boyle of Duluth and Arlos
Fanning of Kansas City fought a
10-round draw in the first prelimi
nary on the program. Both light
weights battled from gong to gong
in such a fashion that pleased the
large crowd.

Defense Tries
To Impeach Word
Of Sox Accuser
State's Witness Forced to Sub
mit to Extensive Cross Ex--amination
by Indicted
Players' Lawyers
Chicago, July 21. The defense of
the base ball trial today began what
was announced as an attempt through
cross examination to impeach Bill
Burns, the state's star witness for
perjury, and early in the day ap
parently had forced Burns to contra
dict points of his testimony of how
gamblers conspired with the White
Sox players to throw the 1919 world's
series.
Attorney 'Thomas B. Nash, of the
defense, asked Burns if he had testi
fied on direct examination that he
met Risberg, Weaver and Felsch in
a Cincinnati hotel the morning of the
day before the first game of the
series. ,
"Yes," answered Burns.
"Don't you know these players
were out at Redland field practicing
at that time?" shouted Nash.
"Don't you know most of the
players went to the races that after
noon and were'nt near the hotel?"
"I saw them at the hotel," said
Burns.
Nash then got Burns to admit that
he did not go to Room 708 of the
Sinton hotel the night after the first
game and did not see the players that
night.
