No Betting in New York. NEW YORK, July 2—Fred J. Brooks, who has placed thousands of dollars on previous championship fights and handies the bulk of Wall street wagers on elections and fistio events, says he 1s at sea over the betting situation of the Jeffries-Johnson contest ‘There's simply no betting,” sald Brooks today. “Where there were formerly thousands put up, there is only small stuff wagered on this fight. I never saw so lit- tle betting.” The biggest wager 8o far made locally is | one of $2,500 to $1,400 on Jeffries. One man has $8,000 to bet on Jeffries at 10 to 4 in blocks of not less than $600.

Fact Is, Rickard is willing to let it be understood that he is a Texan, be- cause the siork in winging its westward way happened to drop him in Summer| county, Kansas, and be It written into the record now that Tex Rickard is not of the Kansas type. He has never been a populist, and he would hurdly, if elected to the legislature, burn midulght oil in| complication of treak legislation, Although | not born in Texus, he reached quickiy ‘s possible, for when mere lad his parents moved to Tex remained there until tors, deparung from the once characterized thelr paratus, began to enact the fashion of Kans That was too much for Rickard.

First Great Fight Between Heavies When Jack .Stark Whipped Jem Broughton More Than a Cen- tury Ago. Tomorrow will see the great heavywelght battle between Jack Johinson, the present champlon, and James J. Jeffries. How dif- ferent will be the meeting of Jeffries and Johnson from the first battle for this cov- eted distinction. It took place in the long, long ago. In 1760, to be exact, and in Eng- land. The story of it makes interesting reading. Jack Broughton, one of the com- batants, was & Thames riverman. He had practiced the “manly arts of foll play, back sword, cudgelllng and boxing” since the days of Fig, the first great public fighter. | From 1743 his amphitheater in Oxford road had been the center of pugilism. Jack Slack, the other man, had been a butcher in Norwich. He was fully three inches shorter than Broughton, but his welght was the same. On April 11, 160 years ago, at noon, they came together at Broughton’s amphithea and two finer gladiators never faced each other in the history of pugllism. They wore no gloves or bandages on their hands ‘When the preliminaries were over the men moved with dignity to the center of the ring amid a breathless silence. Slack walted for the veteran to open the contest, and Breughton slashing out sud- denly, sent his right home on his oppo- nent's chin. Instantly the silence with which the spectators had awalted the first clash was broken by a wave of applause, and as Slack ripped In three ineffective blows the shouting swelled in volume. Matters went all in favor the cham plon for some time, but it was a signif- fcant fact that, in spite of the terribie handling he had received, the butcher wis showing few signs of distress. So cuthusiastic was the duke of Cumber land, however, that he offered to bet $50,00 at odds of 10 to 1 on Broughton. Caplain C who had been instrumental in the mateh, quietly took the 2nd s pro wage As the men came up for the seventh | round Droughton's great chest wus rising and falling with deep, rapld breathing. slacl’s second blow ripped open the vet- eran’s ear, but before the butcher could re- Broughton had smashed in his stomach blow with which he had ended many a contest. It caught Slack fairly in the body and dropped him on his knees ilke & sack. To thote who knew Brough- | ton, 1t was a matter for wonder that the butcher recovered so quickly. But he spraug up strong and ready for the next round. He got past the veteran's guard at a cost of a stunning clip on the ear, and catching him fairly, with a mighty effort, sent him spinning on his back. It was a clean, masterly fall, and the amphi- theator thundered with the spontaneous roar of approval, in which even Brough ton's supporters jolned. The champlon was in some dlstress as he sought his corner, A little later on the veteran was dazed by a terrific blow between the eyes. In- stead of aiming a blow at his man, he reachied out his arm as though groping for his adversary. The butcher began to rain blows on the face and body at will, They sprayed Broughton's face repeat- edly, but to no purpose. He was blinded. And led to the center of the ring, the mighty champion of a hundred battles raised his huge fists that had laid low so many stout opponents, and struck out un- daunted, still hopeful of wresting the vic- tory that had so often been his. Forgetful of his terrific punishment, urged on by his indomitable spirit, he sprang in with upiifted fists. For an in- stant Slack saw himself threatened. He drew his right hand to his breast and lashed out With the “chopper’ blow—a side swing from the elbow. The back of his fist caught the champlon under the jaw, liftmg him from his Zeet, and hurling him headlong. Broughton's see- {onds tried to lift him, but he sank back | with & groan—beatea. ’ Ol Extrem “Well," sighs the man with the wash ti. “now that the aeropiane is becoming popular the women won't spend so much money for sutomobile hats and vell 0," growls the man with the ingrow- g moustache. “But they'll blow in just casions, decided he was the man to Mas- tersonize the village—and he did it. Per- haps this ls the only case on record where as much on slik stockings and high-hesled shoes.” —Judge. — The Key to the Situation—Bes Want Ads! | Gnenandcah . TENNIS TOURNAMENT ENDS Miss Laura Zimmerman Defeats Miss Lucille Fellers, PRIZES ARE ALL AWARDED Girls Play Some Large Gallery i Fast Tennis and a Applauds the h of the Week's Play, Miss Laura Zimmerman, in defeating Miss Lucile Fellers in the. final match of the consolation series, closed the annual wom- en's tournament at the Field club. This makes the winners of the tpurnament Miss Carmelita Chase the champlon of Omaha, with Miss Hortenso Clarke the runner-up; Mrs. J. M. Cudahy and Miss Kate Moores the champlon doubles, with Miss Krna Reed and Miss Margaret Rainey the runners-up, and Miss Zimmerman the winner of the consolation series, with Miss Lucile Fel- lers the runner-up. | Prizes were awarded the successful play- ers on Saturday afternoon by Miss Kats Moores, the chairman of the committee in chargeof the tournament. The winners of the firsts in the championship events re- ceived each a beautiful cup, the runner-up in the singles, a goid bracelet and the winner and runner-up in the comsolation series a, coin purse and a hatpln respect- tvely. The match between Miss Zimmerman and Miss Fellers was very interesting to the gallery, but Miss Fellers did not really get into the game until the second set had be- &un, when It looked for a time as if she might win atter all. The first set went to Miss Zimmerman, 6-1, and she outplayed Miss Fellers in all the points of the game, but the second was a duece oue and ended 76 in her favor. Both the girls play & fast game of ten- nis and glve promise of becoming con- testants of champlonship quality before many years. Miss Fellers has a flne serv- ing ball with a great deal of speed and some curve, but she has not learned to control it yet and Is llable to make a dou- ble trying to use it. In returning the ball she uses a straight cut on a forward stroke, but her backhand stroke s very weak, and on this account she lost many points. Miss | Zimmerman has a good serve, not as swift as her opponents, but with a sharp drop that is very disconcerting. Her return is always sure, and she places the ball, using her head at all stages of the game, and discovering her opponents’ weaknesses. Both of the girls are Omaha high school students. WOMEN PLAY SOME FAST TENNIS Mry. Cudahy and Miss Moores Win Champlonship in Doubles. Mrs. J. M. Cudahy and Miss Kate Moores won the ctamplonship finals from Miss Erna Reed and Margaret Raines, the run- ners-up. The match went to Miss Moores and Mrs. Cudahy easily, and was no sur- prise to anyone, including their opponents, as they huve been picked as the winners of the doubles since the matches began. Both the young women played a fast game, and their teamwork is admirable. Mrs. Cudahy has an almost perfect lawford, that she uses in returning a ball, which makes It hard for the person on the other side of the net; and Miss Moores Is in com- mand of several kinds of cuts and curves of the ball that fool the opposing players. Both players use their heads in placing the oall #lso. The runners-up In the doubles put up a fine game, but they were outclassed by the older players. Miss Reed is a Brownell Hall girl and Miss Rainey a high school student, and both, although new at the game, showed that they will in the near future ve players of some note. Miss Reed and Miss Rainey won their places in the finals by defeating Miss Laura Zimmerman and Miss Ellzabeth Mc- Mullen in the morning play. Summaries: Miss Kate Moores and Mrs. J. M. Cudahy beat Miss krna Reed and Miss Margaret Rainey, 62, 61 In the play for the seml-finals Miss Reed and Miss Rainey beat Miss Laura Zimmer- man and Miss Elizabeth McMullen, 62, 1-6, 6-3. s Laura Zimmerman won a place In the finals of the consolation series by de- feating Miss Ruth Clarke, 61, -1 ‘The match was not close, Miss Zimmer- man easily winning both sets. Miss Zim- merman plays a fast game, with several clever strokes, and in & match with Miss Lucile Fellers this morning spectators ex- pect to see the players just about evenly matched.
