THE OMAHA SUN DAY Blli: JUNE | | ESTERN LEAGUE magnates, in session at St. Joe, put a stopper on the hard times tune sung by the president of the league, and have turned him fnto a genuine booster. a matter of fact, at no time was ere any real occasion for the remark ble interview O'Nelll gave out in Chi- g0 early in the month, and had he sed o little Judgment, it is hardly likely ho would have indulged in the talk he did. But that partioular plece of fat has been in the fire for some time, And the task sét before the magnates is to re- store confidence In the league to a polnt where it will again have the support of the public as a permanent institution, and not as an evanescent thing that is likely to vanish between any two days of the summer. It is going to take some little work to bring this about, but when it has been done, the '‘booster” day pro- posed for the benefit of the league will materialize without any difficulty, The St. Joe meeting started on the right track, and if the owners malntain the at- titude there assumed, the success of their business will be much better assured, not only for this year, but for the sea- sons yet to come. Tt has been a long time since a wrest- ling match attracted so much attention as {s now belng bestowed on the Stecher- Cutler meeting. Even the Gotch-Hacken~ schmidt affair did not take the hold on the public fancy that has been attained by the coming Omaha session. This mainly because of the fact that the pub- lto confidence In the honesty of the match. No ono questions that it will be decided on its merits, and that is & factor that must be present in order to get approval from the people, who will no longer give support where they ocan not give faith. Aside from this point, the match is of first-rate importance, as it is golng a long way to establish a legitimate successor to Frank Gotch as e undisputed champion wrestler of the Iforid. The country has been allve for s with clalmants for this honor, all whom bowed before the husky Jowan, who more nearly than any man whoever stepped on the mat, placed his name first among the contestants. Stecher has made a wonderful start, and it he succeods in throwing Cutler, who claims the cham- plonship, he will be well on the way to the top distinction. Judgments As N, “Brother Jim"” Rourke seems to be having something on his mind ouf at Grand Island, as matters in the Nebraska State league have gotten into a declded jsnarl. It wasn't enough that the league should be cut from eight to six clubs after the season started, and then to have Fairbury o up because the newly arranged schedule was not satisfactory. Grand Island now charges that gamblers got control of an umplire at Norfolk, and that the officlal undertook by the lay- ing on of fines and other means to so cripple the Grand Island team that vio- tory would be easy for Norfolk and bets placed at heavy odds would be safe. If these charges can be substantiated, the Htate league directors have a serious duty before them, and the soonér they perform it, the better it will be for the game. Base ball, from top to bottom, must be kept free from the taint of gambiing, or it can not endure. It is up to the Nebraska State league to clear its skirts right away. Harness racing 1s taking on a new lease of life in these parts, and with the es- tablishment of a track in the bottoms some splend!d sport is promised the pub- He. It hasn't been 80 many yeers since this section was noted as tlie home of many celebrated trotters and pacers, and the harness horsé Industry was thrifty and popular.. Now that the excitement casioned by the automobile has sub- sided slightly, it Is mot too much to ex- peot that a little attention be given to “he horse, and partioularly to the horse in the sulky. Some of the departed glory of the half-mile track may easily be xostored, and 1t looks as if it might be. With the generaj revival of business throughout the country comes a corre- sponding ingrease in the attendance at the ball parks, and while none of the owners is as yet hoard bragging about the large sums of money coming in, all are fecling much relieved over the proa- pects for a season which a very little while ago was auything but rosy in its promise The public dearly loves the game, and is willing to spend its money \at the gates, when it has it to spend. With the Interest in the several contests growing more intense as the daye go on the crowds are sure to flock to the parks. Omaha saw some of the tightest base bal] ever exhibited during the short time Denver and Des Moines got to exhibit here. Scme remarkable fielding was done in each game, and in three of them, at least, Omaha wus beaten because some athlete on the other side pulled a phe-| nomenal play at a oritioal time. It was tough to see these breaks go against the home boys, but the patrons surely saw some classy base ball. Somebody shot the sights off Krueger's big bat during the week, and Lejoune passed him In the batting averages. The worst thing that happened to Irue was when he missed that stralght one Mitchell sent over last Bunday, with a runner on first and another on third, and the score 2 to 1 in faver of Denver. That was a real heart-breaker. McGraw has finaly passed one team in the race, dut it is the one presided ver by Charley Herzog, which doesn't arouse much foy in Gotham. If thera wero & ninth place in the league, Cin-| cinnat! would have it. The surprise in the National is to see St. Loufs up there meking a fight for first place. Omalia iy getitng back on the sport map in real form, with its big speedway and its lttle stadium, its wrestling matches and the like, a sign that some lifo stijl exiats in this part of the country, It may be & little earty to make up final judgment, but it looks now as if Chicago, instead of winning three pennants, is go- mg to do mightly well to win any. Pa 4ldn't hire any new pitchers dur- ing the week, but If you wan't to do business with him, steer him onto the ain of a good righthander. Monday of next week is golng to be some day in Omaha, all right, and the home folks are guing to be in on it Ten Jones is some man to have on & team. If you doubt this, ask any of the Omaha pitchers. Ty Cobb is slipping again. The poor devil is hitting under .40 Poor Shape of Team Compels Greater Omaha League to Set Them Adrift, HOLMES SQUAD GETS PLACE By FRANK QUIGLEY. Only seven of the thirteen directors of the Omaha Amateur association appeared at the regular meeting held at the council chamber last Wednesday night. This trip it didn't make much difference because several protosts that the directors antic ipated falled to roll in. Lately all the difforent protests have been settled by the various leagues, consequently the directors were allowed to take life easy. Because the Townsends have been in poor shape for several weeks they were dropped from the Greater Omaha league. Presi- dent Cook didn’t think it advisable to looked s gloomy for the Gunners. James P. Mullen took the Townsends in hand Iast Sunday and on Monday he decided to throw up the relns. When Mullen lets 100se it is generally considered among the locals that all hopes for reorganization are lost, Prosidedt Cook advised the writer that the Townsends would lose thelr §% for- feit. Fe sald that his action in the mat- ter might be reconsidered when the man- agers of the Greater Omaba league con- vene. The writer is unable to conceive why the To¥nsends should lose their forfelt dough when they dldn‘'t drop out of the league. According to reports the Townsends were willing to stick and do all in their power to finish the season. Ducky Holmes' squad applied and were granteq the franochise left open by the departure of the Townsends. They will have to roll in with twenty-five bucks for thelr franchise. Anderson Resigna. Mr. City league and also connected with the South Omaha Midgets, resigned and Ernie McKee of Gentleman's Athletics was elected to fill his boot der the super- vision of McKee, the Inter-City league ghould be more progressive than ever be- fore. As the aforementioned was all of the business that required the attention of the directors they adjourned until & week from Wednesday. Any manager or player that wishes to dispose of some of the elimination cham- plonship tickets can get some from Jake Isaacson or Louls Cook. These tickets are going fast and from present indica- tions the ones interested will easily dis- pose of 1,000 tickets. In the event that 1,00 tickets are sold everything wiil be lovely for the Omaha Amateur assocla~ tion. Indians Have Hard Luck. Last Sunday the Omaha Indians, the dudes that represent the Indian motor- eycle house, had, although it happened unexpectedly, what would be called & mad plenie. They hired a Jitney carryall to cart them to Arlington, Neb. Natur- ally they thought the country roads would be O. K., but they were contrary to their opinion. They left Omaha about 11 bells Sunday morning, and after they were pulled out of several mud- holes they arrived where they were scheduled to play, namely, Arlington, Neb., at 5 whistle: The. Arlington ball tossers and their supporters had aban- doned the field and the “nothing doing™ placard greeted the Omaha Indlans. They lost a chance to cop a game, they lost their expenses, and some of them started to walk back and lost thelr way. Taken all in all, wasn't this a profitable trip? What? Recently the Ancient Order of United Workmen team, which has been fighting hard for the cellar berth of the Greater Omaha league, has been strengthened and now th re going after the bacon. Me- Guire, formerly with the Storz, is their stronghold on the mound. Today, down on the turf at Luxus park, the Anclent Order of United Workmen children will do thelr darndest to land three wrangles. They will finish their seven-inning strug- gle which ended In an argument with the bases intoxicated and two out with Ver- non at bat last Sunday. When this ar- gument is settled they will play a post- poned game with the Alamitos, and then play their regular game booked with the Alamitos for today. This will be the first triple-header indulged in by the same Omaha contingents. Diamond Dust. Comfort of the First Methodists has quit the game. Gail Moredick is now managing the Hirst Memorials.

No (matter what the danger may be—and | generally the more the danger the more | Bert likes lt—Le Bron is the one man {in Omaha who Is eager to perform the | undertaking. To most people the ambi {tions of Le Bron are both reckloss and foolhardy, but Hert is the kind of & chap who s born with a horseshoe in his left mitt and his luck never leave: his trail. Bert now has two major ambitions in | lite. One s to travel in & racing motor | car on the Omaha speedway at a rate of over 100 miles an hour. As soon as the drivers arrive here to try out the track | Bert intends to ses the ascompiishment | of his ambition. The other fs to loop | the loop In a flying machine. Le Brom almost had a chance to see the realiza- ! tion of this latter hope, but his luck | wasn't with him—or either it was with | him—for he couldn’'t make the trip. It was to be with Art Smith at the epeedway last Thanksgiving day. Bert bad tramed it so that he and Art would go up, turn thres loopa and then Smith was to descend and go up again alone. But a dense fog came up and Smith re- fused to take any chances with & pas- senger. But some day Smith or De Liovd Thompson will come to Omaha, Le Bron declares he will see to that, and then he will make his perilous flight In the clouds as a passenger with one of th | daring aviators. Ever since a little tot Le Bron has been of an adventure-seeking disposition. | When a boy he rigged. up a flock of | trapeses and plides In his barn on the | farm where he was born, In Trego county, Kansas, One day he saw a cir cus in town and saw a slide for life by one of these red-righted, iron-jaw gen- tiemen. He decided to make one of these. slides. Ho took some wire used to bind hay bales and made his slide. That is, he started. Of course the light | wire broke and Bert was precipitated | to the earth with more or less force. When 15 years of age Le Bron was a Looop the Loop| | @ Bert Le BPron. professional bicyele rider and made his living this way. He raced at Chicago with such men as Harl Cooper, who is now one of the greatest racing auto drivers of the country. This was in s ani 1807. In 188 he wanted to go to the front In the Spanish-American war, but wag too young. Then he came west gnd in 1908 became the wrestling and boxing champlon of Nebraska at the welterweight. Then he became a rifle and revolver shot. He | now holds the record for Omaha at re volver shooting, hitting twenty-nine and one-halt bull's-eye out of thirty shots | at thirty-seven and a half feet. He also won the rifle shooting champlonship of Omaha, Cotnell Bluffs and South Omaha | at the old shooting gallery run by the | late Billy Townsend and Sam Grayson. Le Bron was also the trap shooting champlon at Carter Lake for two years A record of adventure, su young Omahan and when he sees the realization of the two ambitions he now | has, that rcoord will be augmented con- | slderably more. oly, has tni he Stars and_Stripes he tor ¢ Bas il Iy three hits.

Following the defeat of Jeffries a swarm of “white hopes’ sprang up over-| night. Among the number were Carl| Morrls, Jim Stewart, Jim BSavage, Al! Palver, Frank Moran, Luther McCarty, Gunboat Smith, Arthur Pelky and many others of less standing. All were full of ambition to avenge the downfall of Jef- tries and incidentally win a fortune for themselves, Since the advent of Jess Willard, how- ever, no new men have appeared on the horizon, and although Willard is free to fight in any of the boxing centers of | the country when he feels so inclined, it | seems highly probable that soon he will | be as lonesome as Johnson, the outiaw, wes while waiting for one of the “hopes” to develop. Only Two Rivals, At the present time Willard's only rivals worth consideration are Jim Cof- fey and, jjossibly, Charley Weinert. When | he has dtkposed of this pair there will be | nothing more for him to do but wait for some new men to come to the front. And as it usually takes at least three years' campaigning before a boxer is ready for a champlonship matoh, It i apparent that Willard's reign will not be a stormy one. Bven Coffey and Welnert, the only ones | of the present set who have not yet| reached their best form, will not be ready | to do thelr best work for at least a year | to come. Since both are still irhproving | rapidly, only time will show whether | they are of champlonship calibre. At | the present stage of their development matching them with Willard would be to | risk sacrificing their future. This of course is on the supposition | that Willard in the future will show his true form instead of hanging back, as he did in most of his bouts before win- ning the title. Otherwise it Is by no means certain that anything very serious would happen to elther Coffey or Weinert | n ten rounds. For anything over that | distance it would be foollsh to think of palring efther of the youngsters with | the gigantic Willard, but a ten-round bout mbight be & differtn matter. Coftey 1Is Faster, Just how Willard will act in these ten- round affairs, now that he is champlon, | remains to be meen. On the form he has | displayed so far, the only thing rea sonably sure is that he would be In no dangor of belng knocked out, thereby | losing his title, But to say that Coffey | would have no chance of outpoirting him in & short bout 1= taking too much for' granted. In Willard's short career he has encountered no one who had more speed and endurance than the Irish glant. Right now Coffey seems to b better man than Gunbeat Smith, who outpointed Willard in twenty rounds. Coffey also meems to be & few notches higher than Luther McCarty was when the latter met Willard and carried the fighting to.his glant opponent for seven of the ten | rounds. Then, too, Coffey defeated Carl | Morris far more decisively than Willard did. | That Willard with his tremendous hit- | ting power, ought to make short work of the inexperienced Coffey goes without | saying. But what Willard ought to do and what he does sccomplish are two different things. Like many other boxers who otherwise would be great fighters Willerd is handicapped by his tempera- ment. He lacks aggremsiveness, and that is @ fatal fault so far as short bouts are concerned, although in a long fight It works the other way. But unless Willard can overcome his tendency to hold back, he will never make much of a hit as o ten rounder. Coffey, on the ather just. right for ten r stantly on the aggress hitting as long as Willard's boxing has cent, he would have to stop the to win. If Coffey better defense his chances of a hand, ls gaited He fs and never stops n stand, Unle improved 0 per Irish had a inds. con H . | the ground.
