- \ TRD LEWIS VICTIN OF UNFEELING FATE English Battler Goes to Buenos | Ayres and Runs Into a . Fine Flivver. WANTS TO FIGHT DARCY By RINGSIDE. New York, Sept. 23.—Gershon Mendeloff is on the verge of despera- tion. It is hard to conceive anyone by that name working himsell into such a belligerent mood; we'll modify the opening sentence by say- ing that Ted-Kid Lewis is on the \'e:fe of desperation. That sounds better. Ted-Kid has every reason to be sour at the world in general and South Amefican in particular. The fighting ' Erglishman has spent the last three months traveling to and from Buenos Ayres for the purpose of establishing a firmer claim to the welterweight championship by defeat- ing Albert Badoud, the French cham- pion, there. He was to engage in one other ‘fight below the equator, before returnihg to good old New York. ’ 3 The supposed fistic carnival in Buenos . Ayres - fizzled out; Lewis didn't’ fight at all; he practically wasted three. months and lost over 50,000 in ring engagements there. He is now méaring this port; is due in a few days:Is it arry wonder Ted-Kid Lewis 1s sour at the world in general and South America in particular? Something was said about Lewis being on the verge of desperation. You surcly will consider him so after petusing the gist of his letter to the writer from Buenos Ayres. Wants to Fight Darcy. Briefly it is this: He wants to fight Les Darcy, the Australian marvel, for the middleweight championship of the world, Lewis says he has already disposed of Darcy’s other formidable rival—Mike Gibbons—and so he has. Alse, that he is entitled to next whack at the antipodean by virtue of his vic- tory over Gibbons. Lewis is willing to-waive 'all weight stipulations so long as Darcy is anywhere near the 160-pound mark the day of the battle. Lewis surely must™ be desperate after traveling so many thousands of miles for a chance at one title—and miss it—he is ready to travel many mose thousand miles for a champion- ship bout in another class. Lewis d not invite Darcy to this coun- !rz, but is willing to beard the lion in his den, as it were, by going to Aus- trafia and battling Darcy on his home heath, Compare this to the stand of the other American pugilists who are eligible to fight Darcy. Gibbons ap- parently does not want to fight the ustralian ‘under any circumstances, while Jack Dillon says he may fight Darey, if the latter were to come to thig country, « Like Old School. e latest proposal of Lewis clinehes the contention of his man- ?t' Jimmy Johnston, that Ted-Kid the only fighter in the game today . bears any resemblance to any old regime of the ring when a tér; fought.

SECOND BASEMEN | SCARCE ARTICLE Nineteen-Sixteen Seems to Be Jinx Season for Lads Who Play Around Keystone. WILLIE WAGNER IS CLASSY By FRANK G. MENKE. New York, Sept. 23.—Nineteen hundred and sixteen has been a jinx season for second basemen. Also it has uncovered the fact that star key- stone sackers are becoming rather scarce, Larry Doyle, after being traded to the Cubs, busted a leg. Iliness, acci- dents and suspensions have kept Johnny Evers out of the game most of the year. Jack Barry, the R€d Sox star, has been rendered hors de base ball by a number of wounds. Lajoie, who started the season with the Ath- letics, has slowed so much that Con- nie Mack has lupfhntcd him with Lawry. Steve Yerkes, at second for the Cubs when the playing began, failed and was shooed off to the mi- nors, Heinie Zim, after second bas- ing for some time for the Chicago outfit, was traded to New York. Mil- ler Huggins of the Cardinals decided when the 'spring training was over that he was too slow to play any 1onger. Second base has been the weak spot in a number of major league ma- chines. The Indians have used Wambsganss and Howard. Neithe has shown anything remarkable. Thy Reds tried out a half dozen men at second before they shifted over Hei- nie Groh. The Yanks tried out Ged- eon, Mullen and Magee and Bill Don- ovan isn't satisfied. | Folsom Quits Coaching Fred F. Folsom has quit coaching foot ballers after fifteen seasons. Back in 1901 he took charge of the young huskies at the University of Colora- do and remained at the helm of the gridiron wheel until this fall. Then ¢ decided that he had enough of foot ball and now is devoting his whole time to law. M. C. Evans of Milliken university is his successor. McT: rt Champ Jockey, Johnny ficTaunrt. who was a messenger boy three or four years ago, is_the champion jockey of the y The little chap, riding on the various tracks along the eastern cir- cuit, had mounts in 634 races during the season and won more than half of them. His record follows: To- tal mounts, 634; first place, .127; sec- ond place, 108; third place, 92; un- placed, 307. Only three other jockeys, besides McTaggart, passed the century mark in races won. They are Poole, 115; Robinson, 106; Murphv, 102, Self-Defense? “M. Cueto, the Cuban outfielder, who has been signell by the Cincin- nati Reds and who was to have re- ported next week, broke hid leg yes- terday.”"—News item, $2.30 Worth of Impress. Willie Wagner, the new Pirate catcher, believes in displaying a “good front.” Willie reported to the Pittsburghers while they were play- ing in Brooklyn. After he hopped off the rattler Willie spurned the subway and the elevdted as a means of trans- portation to the ball park. He hired a taxicab at a cost of $2.30. “Arriving in a taxi created the proper impression,” explained he. othing like looking prosperous, even if you are just fresh from the bushes,” explained Wagner, Barney Obliged—Cost $5,000. It cost Barney Dreyfuss $5,000 to harken to the p{eadings of a clergy- man. The minister is the father of Car- son Bigbee, now playing a fast game in the Pirate infield. Two or three yedrs ago Dreyfuss' scouts reported that a youth named Bighee had been performing brilliantly for a college team. along the Pacific slope. Bar- ney at once signed the kid. And then along came papa, who said he wasn't very keen about his son playing professional base ball and would Mr. Dreyfuss please release sonny from the contract. Mr. Drey- fuss obliged. Several months ago Barney heard about a kid phenom named Bigbee %laying in the Northwestern league. arney looked him up and found it was the very same Bigbee whom he had released from the contract at father's request. Barney resigned Bigbee, but it cast him $5,000 to get the player. Omaha Boxer Qutpoints Scrapper From the South Paul Murray of Omaha outfought and outboxed Jack Tyler of New Or- leans in a six-round private go before the North Side club the other night, Murray proved too shifty for the lad from the sunny southland. Scotty Thomas acted as referce. No Training Camp. There will be no training table for Foster Sanford's Rutgers squad this year, but a house has been obtalnad for the (eam at New Brunswick, where {t will be possible to kéep the players together and in, strict training. THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 24, Coaches at Bellevue have an- nounced that only men who come out i regularly shall be permitted to sit at either one of the two big training tables in the college dining room. As twenty-five men sit at fihc two tables, twenty-five men will grace the field every night or be ‘eternally disgraced in the eyes of the pretty auburn-haired girl waitresses, The material comes from all over the state, fellows with high school records and fellows who never did anything but debate or win a district oratorical contest or something else equally useless. Awkward fellows, graceful fellows, lanky fellows, squat and dumpy fellows, all parade up and down the gridiron about a hundred times and then are sent around the track six times before calling it a day. Six varsity men are all that are on hand about whom to build a winning team. Captain Racely and Gustafson have cach played three years. Erwin, | Picotte, Rinnier and Johns are vet- erans of one year's standing only. Al- len has decided not to come out for foot ball because of a heavy schedule. Stewart has not yet returned. Wenke a]nld Farnham wifl not come back at all, Of the new men little can be said as yet, for only light practice has so far been attempted. Shainholtz, Prim- rose, Dunlap, Daugherty, Mincer, Williams, Ebersole and Kemp are the men who seem to be showing up best. The hardest place tg,fill is at quar- ter, where the absence of Farnham leaves a big hole. Mincer and Bush have been tried out so far, but the coaches say that the whole lineup is | problemetical as yet. FIRST HIGH FOOT BALL GAME PLAYED Nebraska Oity Leads Way, Playing Tecumseh and Get- ting Ready for Lincoln. OTHERS START IN A WEEK By KARL LEE. From thirty to fifty high schools in Nebraska will start foot ball elev- ens toward a championship of some kind this season, Nebraska City opened the season Friday with a game with Tecumseh at Nebraska City. The game was the first to be played in the state. Prof. Stevens is coaching the Nebraska City squad this year, His team is captained by Lester Anderson, ‘vet- eran halfback: of last year. Next Saturday Lincoln will play its first game with Steven’s team. The state champiohship fights will center principally among some thirty teams in the western, central and eastern districts. Review of the progress of teams last year makes the following “classification available. In the west, North Platte, Alliance, Gothenburg, McCook, Scottsbluff, Sidney, Cozad and the Curtis Agri- cultural school will compete for su- premacy. In the central division Grand Island, Central City, Kearney, York, Aurora, Hastings, O'Neil and Minden will probably prove ‘most prominent, while in the east thirteen teams will command the limelight. Central, South and Commerce High schools, Norfolk, Lincoln, Beatrice, Osceola, Nebraska City, Ashland and | Tecumseh appear to be the most probable- leaders, Gothenburg Loses Vets. Beayer City started to contest the championship of the southwest last finr. but having been easily defeated y Gothenburg, waived its claims. Gothenburg produced a wonderful team, but has lost several veterans. Its first game with the Kearney Nor- mal second team October 6 will per- mit of speculation as to its stantfi;g this year. Intense rivalry was mani- fest between Red Cloud, Mason City and Beaver City last year, adding zest to the competition. McCook, Cozad and the Curtis Aggies are probably the strongest representations in this section. The contest for the west championship will open September 29, with a game between Alliance and Scottsbluff. Western teams have begun enthus- iastic preparations. Coach Ernie Frank, famed Nebraska star, has called his team to order at Scotts- bluff. The dope has it 'that he is lay- ing plans for the western champion- ship, McCook, Senator Norris’ town, is also on the run, Cbach Prince.has already laid plans for victories over Minden, the Franklin academy and the Curtis Agricultural college. Beaver City has refused to play the senator's fown_ because of some dif- ferences. ‘At Hebron, Coach H. C. Meents began hostilities a week back with thirty-nine men, five of whom are veterans of last year. Upstate, Norfolk has been out for drill two weeks. Coach Walker is going about his task with silent de- termination. Norfolk will meet the Genoa Indians in the first game of the season, O'Neil, another eleven of the north that usually mounts high in the contest for a district cham- pionship, has begun activities, Big Nine Teams at Work. “Big Nine"” teams are getting down to a hard regular practice. ost of the elevens will open schedules with games September 30. The most promi- nent opening game is that between Beatrice and University Place at Uni- versity Place, September 30, Foot ball was taken up for the first time at the Wesleyan school last year, and a good team placed in the field. At York, Coach Bewey Harmon of uni- versity fame, is handling between thirty and forty men daily, Pros- pects for a successful season are ex- cellent, it is said. Coach M. Y. Hard- ing is working with a fine bunch of men at Grand Island. Little is known of the third city prospects, but it is conceded that they will be good, con- sidering the excellent record of last year, Camp on Job, Waiter Camp s fllling his old-time posi- ton as advifory coach and stra: gist of the Yale foot ball players. MILLS HAS PLENTY OF BEEF ON LINE Weight Will Be One of Greatest Assets of Creighton Eleven This Season. NEW MEN FROM ALL OVER The alumni who watched Creighton practice Friday were elated. For Tommy Mills now had a team—a real “team” to work with. The material that had showed up even this early in the season pleased immensely, Coach Mills picked eleven men, enough for a team, Friday afternoon and devoted his entire time to coach- ing them. Of the eleven but three— Captain Platz, halfback; Stapleton, guard, and Morgan, tackle, were old men,} The new material presented a variety of good foot ball, and the out- look was encouraging both from a standpoint of weight and of general ability, Sleuman Shows Well. Walter Sleuman, former fullback at Hastings college, is showing up re- markably well. Carl Lutes, veteran in the field, with additional weight, is more than making good. Captain Platz and Marty Flannagan will man the halfback jobs. Marty showed up Thursday night. He is in his old splendid condition and should rove a powerful asset to the team. eo Hirschman, a small but powerful individual of about 170 pounds, is also making a try at a back job. Three Out for Quarter, At quarter, the one real weak point in the entire Creighton machine, there are three candidates of no mean abil- ity. Dewey Edson, a well built youth from Pocatello, Idaho, who was a popular star -among foot ball lights of the northwest, is4rying for the job. Mulholland, the guch” heralded youth from Spokane, has not arrived yet, but is said to have attained singular prowess as quarter on the Spokane college team, where he played last year. Johnny Hale, end on last year's line, is also said to be a candidate for the job. Big Cy Kamanski, veteran center, may be back at school before the end of the season. Meanwhile, Burford, veteran alternate, will be out in com- petition with the giant Erickson of Beatrice, The tackle and guard positions are cause for much speculation. Morgan, who will occupy one tackle position, subbed in a good part of the games last year, At the other side of the line, Walter McCarthy, the tall, mas- terful youth who comes from Hast- ings rcollege with Sleuman, is being played. Two old men, Johnny Hale and Bill Brennan, greet Coach Mills at the end positions. Millg may tion to shift Hale to quarter, and that will give a few of the re- cruits a chance. Phee, an auburn haired youngster from Champion col- lege (Wisconsin) is one of the light- weights who has turned out for this job. The youth has the makings of a whirlwind. Trevlin, the Butte High school star of Montana, is also mak- ing good. Trevlin is heavier built than Phee. Big “Fouf’ O'Connors, 190-pound former foot ball light at the South High school, who it attending the night law school at the university, is playing guard on the line. On’ the other side of the line, big Stapleton of 211 pounds, is walking around with a growl, while one Chaglie Hawkins, monster candidate guard of 210 pounds from Ord, Neb, is. yet to make his debut before the critical eyes of the coach.

He carries a grouch and is And a frown spreads over his face, By FRED S. HUNTER THE FOOT BALL COACH. He will fuss and he'll fret, Just as if he had bet, On a nag that was last in the race. He acts like he'd lost his last friend in the world, A painful look crosses his brow, He was happy and gay, Just a few days away, But he looks like an inquest right now. No effort will bring forth a smile or | or a grin, He clings to a scowl, that is all, No, he’s not tired of life, Nor licked by the strife, He'’s always like that in the fall. We don't know whether Doc Stewart, the new Husker coach, is a gloomy cuss or not, but if he hopes to hcld his own with the late Ewoldt Stiehm, he’ll be drip- ping gobs of it within a week.

Eddie Foy, seated in a ringside seat at the recent Leonard-Coni- frey fight, was beaned with a bucket when the tilt ended in a riot. Johnny Evers had just come to after forty-five minutes under the either while the doc yanked his recalcitrant tooth. “You're tooth is out’ an- nounced the doc. “Out?” shrieked Johnny, ‘“you’'re a liar, a burglar, a sec- ond-story worker, a horsethief, a bum and a homer. 1 was safe a mile and I can lick your whole family.” loomy, 1 THE LITTLE CUTUP.
