Lincoln, Jan. 4. (Special.) Guy Chamberlain, former
Husker star, now employe of the Staley Manufacturing
company at Decatur, 111., with his wife, was a visitor in Lin-
coin auringthe holidays. Chamberlain has been engaged
in "Pro" football since his college grid career, and this past
season was captain, of the Staley professional eleven, which,
by the way, won the world's championship in "pro" circles.
Although I am a professional, I
still believe in the college game and
I believe in keeping the college game
strictly for and by amateurs. Out

Schlaifer Loses Decision to
"Cowboy" Padget in Slashing
Twelve-Round Bout at Denver
Denver, Jan. 4. (Special Tele
gram.) The new ring sensatton ap
peared on the horizon Tuesday night
when "Cowboy" Padget, the slugging
cowpuncher, Dolores, Colo., won a
decision over .Morris Schlaifer of
Omaha in a 12-round bout at the
Stockyards stadium. The bout was
one of the best ever staged in the
local arena and was .a real fight,
from gong to gong, with both men
refusing to break ground.
Fouled in the second round, when
Schlaifer struck a low blow, Padgett
refused to accept the decision and
continued despite the fact that he
was weakened by the blow. After
getting his' bearings he . went after
the Omaha lad in a vicious, slash
ing attack, lasting the round out.
For the first six rounds both men

Record Entry List
m Elks Pin
Meet
Chicago, Jan. 4.-Judging from
advance indications, a record list of
bowling teams will compete in the
championship tournament of the Elks
Bowling association of America,
which opens here February 4. The
entries will close on January 20.

Game for Amateurs
idea that the professional doesn't
have to take anything in the line of
work in -order to keep going he has
another guess coming. A team made
up of all-Amcrican, all-western and
all-conference men has less need of
scrimmage, since each man knows
about what to do. The team learns
of the other team's formations, each
man gets his instructions and they
never have to be repeated, says Guy.
Chamberlain does not believe that
the game is strenuous enough to in
jure or impair one's health if he con
tinues in it. He states that it would
take harder blows, to put him out
now than it would have in the days
of his college football. ,
Chamberlain was all praise for the-
Husker team of the past season, and
states that he believes there, will be
an undefeated Husker team to fin
ish next season. He finished his foot
ball career at Nebraska in 1915 after
playing his allotted three years. Dur
ing his career at Nebraska Chamber
lain at end was one of the stars of
the country and Huskers still speak
with reverence of "the days of Cham
berlain.'1 stood toe to toe and battled each
other all over the ring. . Neither
seemed to have the advantage. In
the seventh Padgett shot a straight
left to the face repeatedly and then
shifted, raining several blows on the
body. When the bell rang he had
rolled up a big margin.
Schlaifer evened matters in the
eighth with rights and lefts to 'the
face and body and in the 10th caught
the Cowboy with a hard .right on
the eye that drew blood. In the 11th
Padgett landed terrific rights and
lefts to the face that drew blood.
He backed Schlaifer to the ropes
and played a tattoo on the body. In
the 12th both stood in the center pf
the ring and slugged each other.
Padgett had the better of the fi
nal round and seemed to be full of
fight at the finish.
Noye's fighting . in the early
rounds was confined largely to the
solar plexus region.
Harry Boyle, Omaha, and Mickey
Brown, Seattle, lightweights, put up
a good bout in the opener, Boyle
getting the verdict by a shade.
Duke De Vol, Omaha bantam,
substituting for Kid Burns, Minne
apolis skeeter, won on a foul from
Joe Levy in the fifth round. The
Omaha midget was put out of com
mission after thrice being fouled.
Considering the fact that De Vol
entered the ring, without any prep
aration, he made a good showing
against the highly touted St. Louis
youngster.
De Vol accepted the match after
Frankie Gillman, who had been sent
here from Minneapolis to substitute
for Kid Burns, refused to perform
for the amount offered him.

Pete Herman
Piling Up Large
Amount of Jack
Former Bootblack of New
Orleans Cracks All Exist
ing Records for Ring
Earning in Year.
Br FRANK G. MENKE.
(C"oyrlht, U21. by King fostur gyndl
islo. Inc. ( ,
A once-tinic bootblack of New
Orleans lias cracked all existing rec
ords for ring earnings in a single
year by warriors in the lighter di
visions of pugilism.
And that same 118 pounder like
wise kicked into the discard all the
old marks hung uo by warriors as
regards traveling within 12 months.
In other words, I'ete Herman, by
earning more than $JOO,000 with his
lists and traveling close to 100,000
miles all within a single year, stand.
torth unique in li.ilic annals.
Eight years ago he was a shoe
shiner in a New Orleans hotel. It was
ju the neighborhood where sporting
men congregate and while Tcte was
dolling up the booties of the custom
rrs, they talked of things fistic m
such a way as to excite his interest
in the mitt slinging pastime.
Pete Gets "Comp."
' One gentle 1'. M., a customer, in
lieu of a tip, gave Pete a comph
mentary ticket to one of the fight
shows, rete was among those prcs
out that night aud became so en
thused about the noble art that he
shadow boxed his way home, in
imitation of the swingers that he saw
in action.
Eventually Pete was able to buy
himself a membership in a gym
nasium. Then came the day when he
got a chance to tight in a preliminary
for $2.50. Pete accepted and
won. Tempus flitted. At last came
Pete's big chance. The man who
was to fight Toe Wagner back in
1914 in New Orleans, had to cancel
the match on account of illness
There was no one else to offer up
as a sacrifice to Wagner, who was
going great at the time, except Her
man, the preliminary kid.
Herman went on, punched Wag
ner all around the ring for i) rounds,
won by 12 or 13 miles and became
a sensation.
Beats Williams.
Came the day that Herman
whipped "Kid" Williams, who was
at the moment a joint claimant with
Johnny Ertlc, for the bantamweight
championship. I hat gave rete a leg
on the crown. He later established
undisputed right to the title and,
meanwhile, Sammy Goldman, a boy
hood pal from New Orleans, began
to do the managing m such a way
that Pete s amiuaj income tax pay
nients began to look like a statement
involving the assets of the federal
Reserve bank.
But it remained for Goldman, as
a manager, and Herman as a war
rior, to bump all records into the
discard during the 365 days thai
elapsed between December 22, 1920
and December 22, 1921. .
On the night of December 22, 1920,
Herman battled Joe Lynch in Madi
son Square Garden, New lork, and
lost both the decision and the title
But he got approximately $30,000
for that affair. Hardly had the
smoke of battle cleared when Her
man was on the bonny blue, en
route for England; where he got
$35,000 for beating Jimmy Wilde.
Herman sailed back home, met
four or five average bantams, beat
'enrall and got an average of $7,500
for his work. Then he sailed back to
England and picked up $25,000 for
pounding Jimmy Higgins, bantam
champion of England, into submis
sion. Three hours after the fight with
Higgins ended, Herman was on his
way back to the United btatcs. I wo
days after he arrived he fought
Joe Lynch, got $30,000 for it and
regained his title.
Then he fought Charley Lcdoux,
Frankie Daly, Young Montreal and
about six others, iir widely scattered
parts of the countrv, getting from
$5,000 up to $10,000"for each of his
efforts. t
Early this fall Herman met John
ny Buff, then flyweight champion,
and lost the decision, thus surrender
ing his crown once again. But Her
man got $18,000 for the work. Los
ing the championship simply acted
as a spur for greater endeavor and
Pete scooted to all parts of the
country, picking up nifty purses
wherever he wandered.
Jcin D. Uneasy.
Herman rounded out the year by
warring against Midget Smith on
December 22, 1921 in the very same
garden where he lost the title to
Lynch and he got another bulky
purse for his. efforts.
It is reported that John D. Rocke
feller has sent out agents to find
out how much of a financial spurt
he must put on to keep Herman
from gathering in the "richest man"
championship.

Hitmelf.
MnMsasM
New York, Jin. 4. Did tht tiny,
white, bejeweled hind of 19-year-old
Elizabeth Vleichos, strikingly beau
tiful Grecian collet girl of Phila
delphia, null the trigger that sent
three bullets crashing into the brain
of her lover, John Palmlero? Was it
physically possible for the man to
have killed himself?
Elizabeth, heartbroken,' swears
that Palniicro shot himself.
Assistant District Attorney Hen
nis, who spent the entire day ques
tioning the girl, confessed that the
manner in which Palniicro met his
death is a mystery to him. Much
depends on the report of the medi
cal examiners tomorrow.
Young Spaniard Dies.
John Palmiero, a Spaniard, 39
years otd, died from three bullet
wounds in his fight temple. He
had been taken to a hospital from
the little apartment he and Elizabeth
Vleichos occupied for several
months.
Elizabeth was found in a stupor
on the sidwalk in fropt of their
apartment, clad only in a sheer silk
en nightgown, almost frozen by the
wintry Masts, neighbors who as
sisted her found the dying Spaniard
with a pearl handled revolver lying
on the bed beside him.
"Is John dead? He shot him
self" were the girl's first words,
Of little more than the average
height for a woman, slim, yet pos
sessing a figure common to women
who indulge in athletic sports, as
Elizabeth did at McCall's high
school in Philadelphia, her head
shapely and well poised, surmounted
by a wealth of almost raven-hued
hair, the girl, so young in years but
old in experience, making a striking
appearance. After leaving McCall
high school she attended Temple
college in Philadelphia for nearly a
year.
Born in Greece.
"I was born in Athens, Greece,
and came here when I was 7," she
told Mr. Henr.is. ''My father is
well-to-do cigar manufacturer in
Philadelphia.
When I was 17 and going to
school my parents introduced me to
a wealthy Greek candy man whom
they said I was to marry. He was
32, corpulent and far from good-
looking. I disliked him. Shortly
after this I met Lawrence Diaz, a
young Spaniard and a close friend of

that in the end he may do so. The
postmaster general is a comparative
