THE OMAHA § ND. AY BEE: MARCH 20, 1910. MEN'S BASKET BALL TEAM, PPRU NORMAL, ERU has had an interesting bas- ket ball season this year, and has done some strong playing. One of the fastest games ever played on the normal floor was the first half of the game played with Wesleyan on February 18. Both teams entered the field fired with the de- termination to win, and in a short time it was evident that Wesleyan would have a close rub If it carried away the larger end of the score. Stevens soon shot a goal from the field for the normal, and, in rapid succession, two more goals before the visi- tors could score. Wesleyan now began to play recklessly, fouling frequently and protesting the decisions till reminded by the official that it was time to play ball. Fi- | nally with the score standing 13 to § in favor ©Of the normal, the coyotes called time out and askoed that the official be removed. The controversy ended by Wesleyan forfelt- ing the game. The feature of the game was the great team work displayed by our boys and the individual work of each mem- ber of the squad. The Peru girls met the Elmwood basket ball girls on the home floor, February 4, in a game resulting in a victory for the normal. A marked improvement was shown In the team s a working unit and both in in the Falls City game to be sallly in need of strengthening. n string of defeats still in mind, the contest keyed to the highest pitch and each determined to wipe out the blot from their past record. Both teams showed thetr true fighting spirit from the outset, the superior all around work of the locals soon began to tell and gradually the count mounted higher and higher till the curtain dropped, ending the second half, after which the keeper announced the final score to be 34 to 8 In favor of Peru. | On Friday evening, Falls City High school girls defeated the normal to the tune of 29 to 2. This is the first time the normal girls have suffered defeat on the home floor in four years, and the fact that the conquerors were or- ganized and coached by an ex-Peruvian, makes the defeat doubly felt. verse was not due to the poor work of the locals, but principally to the fast and con- sistent work of the visitors, who showed their skill and superior work in all depart- ments of the game, especlally in free goal tossing, making fourteen of a possible six- teen points from the foul line. On the first knock off, Falls City carried the ball rap- 1dly down the field and shot & basket be- The normal girls with entered but the February 25, This re- GIRLS' BASKET BALL TEAM, with mathemutical proclelon untll the count of eight loomed up before the normal players. The normal girls now took a brace and after much clever work, Phillips shot a difficult goal from the fleld. Playing continued with the normal gradually over- coming the large lead and at the end of the first half the score stood 14 to 16 in favor of the visitors. The second half Was a mere repetition of the lutter half of the first, leaving the final score as given above. Friday morning, February 11, the normal girls journeyed to Elmwood expecting to duplicate the score made with the same team on the normal floor. The game was played in a small room which seriously handicapped the normal team. They did the best they could under the unfortunate circumstances and the final score stood 33 to 3. huskies to the tune of 3( to 16.

It was Cotner's game through the first half, but Peru gathered courage in the last half of the game and for a while it looked as if our boys might overhaul the ‘“preachers,” but about the middle of the half some of the spectators became restless and slowly drifted out; fearing that there would be no seats left for the glee club concert which was to be glven after the game, till a mere handful of rooters remained. This alone was enough to discourage any team, to be deserted by thelr own supporters, as the last elght minutes of the play showed. Stoddard and Captain Stevens were the stars of the evening.

From now on, however, it will be possible for those most Interested to map out their work up to and including the day when the two gigantic boxers meet for su- premacy in the ring’ 8o far as. the actual site of the fight s concerned, there appears to be few objec- tlons to the race course at Emeryvill Since for obvious reasons it was not possi- .ble.to hold the fight within the limnts of San Franclsco, the place selected appears to be suitable In every way.

Before the principals and promoters set- it is necessary that certain details in con- nection with the big fight be straightened out to the satisfaction of all parties. Jack Johnson returns to this city before the | end of the month for various reasons and Jack Gleason will also revisit the metrop- olls. Thé case of Pindar against Johnson is due for hearing in the near future, and Promoter Gleason has a large number of business interests incldental to the fight which will have to be mapped out for his local representative. It Is sald by those connected with the fight that this contest {8 the most stupendous undertaking known to pugilism, and that nothing in the way of detail will be loft for the last moment. Arrangements for the transporting of fight enthuslasts to the scene of the battle, the sale of tickets and scores of other de- tails have already been provided for, Within a month the sale of coupons for the fight will be opened in the principal citles of the country. It is the plan of the promoters to sell these coupons in advance at prices ranging from $10 to $100, the same to be exchanged at the various entrances of the arena on the day of the fight for regular seat reservations. It is hoped in this way that the possibility of tickets falling Into the hands of speculators will be reduced to a minimum and that every spectator, no matter from what portion of the country he hails, will have an equal chance. Many Long Tours. That a large portion of the spectators are expected to be residents of other sections of the country aside from San Francisco and its vielnity is shown by the arrange- ment which the promoters are making to handle an immense transcontinental pil- grimage both before and after the battle, It Is understood that Rickard and Gleason will have a controlling Interest in these tours, although the actual details are In the hands of J. P. McCann, head of the cfal trips will be conducted on a varled plan. One of the original schemes in con- nection with the tours is an Installment payment, whereby It js possible for the fight fan to pay so much a week until such time as he has on deposit the amount necessary to insure his belngz at the ring- side when the big men square off. The other extreme s rcached In a train de luxe, which will be confined to a party of fifty, with only tho sky as the limit. The minimum figure for the trip has heen placed fn the nelghborhood of $150, which will include admission to the eection of the stand allotted to §10 seats. No maxi- mum figure has been announced and none 1s lkely to be, since on the de luxe special, with Kid McCoy as mentor, there will be possibilities for spending conslderable inci- dental coin. Aside from the Installment and de luxe specials, there will be at least ten other excursions, each in charge of a well known sporting persefiage, to accom- modate those who may desire to make the trip. It has been estimated that some 7,5% New Yorkers will probably take the oppor- tunity to travel across the continent, and with speclals from scores of other eastern, southern and middle western citles, it can beseen that Messrs, Rickard and Gleason have not overlooked any opportunities for collecting currency by means of big fight incidentals. Outdoor Life Will Be His for Thirteen Weeks. LOS ANGELES, Cal, Mapeh 19.—'Jim" Jeffries will train for his fight with “Jack” Johnson at a resort in the moun- tains near Santa Cruz, where a camp will be established April 1. From April 1 to July 4 Is a stretech of something like. thirteen -weeks, and the work of training has to be done gradually til nearing the day of the contest, It is presumed that for the first six or seven weeks it will be a case of playing around, as It were, a sort of camping out life, ex- cept that a routine of duties will be mapped | out for the labor end of the game, with all sorts of entertalnment to amuse and oc- | cupy the mind of Jeffries. A sulky principal suffers physically and 18 much harder to get into condition. Jef- fries can hardly be credited with a sulky nature. On the contrary, he is more of a big boy willlng to play pranks on others |and amuse himself in any way that op- | portunity presents. Consequently he will | not be very hara to put in condition. It is not a pleasant pastime to train a man for a prizo fight, neither is it & light task for the principal. From early morn- ing untll bedtime there is always some- thing to do, and there is so much same- ness about the work that it becomes mo- notonous after a short time. A wiliing principal is easy to manage, and, consequently, easy to train, whereas & man with a sulky disposition, or lazy, is hard to persuade to work and impossible to force into the regular training rut, Take John L. Sulilvan, for example. He would do little or nothing except what suited his inclination. If he wanted a drink, he took it, no matter what his trainers might advise, and if he did not want to run, he would walk. His overcon- fidenco was probably more the cause of this than anything else. He belleved that he 4id not have to spend much time to train to whip anybody. With Jeftries it is different. He is a willing worker and does not underestimate the importance of his coming affalr with Johnson. Hg knows there are thousands of dollars in sight if he whips the negro, and if he loses it will be a case of “back to the woods or the saloon busin Your Orders To South 868, Doug. 1542 OMAHA, NEB, Lee Michell 1018 Main Street, Council Rluffs, Ta, For Family Trade Telephone Henry J.
