NEW BANTAM STAR BOBS UP IN GOTHAM Joe Lynch Springs Into Fame by Clearly Outpointing the Champion, Johnny Ertle. OWNS A LIGHTNING LEFT By RINGSIDE. New York, Oct. 28.—The nearest approach the Greater City has had to a genuine ring champion since the days when Terry McGovern reigned supreme in the bantam and feather- weight divisions is embodied in the frail person of one Joe Lynch. Until a few weeks ago this spindle-legged fad was obscured in the environment of the West Side of this town. Ovef night he leaped into fame, when he outboxed and outfought Bantam Champion Johnny Ertle at the Pio- neer Sporting club of this Cllgu : The remarkable part of this achievement has never before been revealed to the public. It is the as- tonishing fact that Lynch has been boxing professionally slightly over a year—only a few days have passed sincé the first anniversary of his en- trance into the ranks of the money- atherers. As a matter of record, ynch never before that appeared in the hempen square. He absorbed all his fistic knowledge, first hand, on the streets of the West Side, where bare- knuckle fighting is still in vogue—that is, it is in vogue to settle sporadic argument on the very spot they start. Ertle Has No Alibi. In his ring encounters prior to the Ertle affair Lynch showed latent fighting powers, but it required a bout with the champion of the- class to bring out all the dormant ability in Lynch. Ertle can proffer no alibi —in fact, he hasn’t offered any as yet —for his defeat, for the champion had seen Lynch defeat Jack Sharkey, a neighborhood rival, two weck\';‘)reyl- ous, and Johnny spent all of the in- tervening time in getting ready for Lynch, : The Ertle fiThl. as has been said, brought out all there is in Lynch— that is, on the surface it appeared to be all there is in Lynch. Whether he possesses any more good qualities than these he showed against Ertle remains to be seen in future bouts. He displayed everything in the box- ing category that evening except, per- haps, a good stiff right hand punch. But Lynch’s hat-rack extension left jab more than counterbalanced what- ever deficiency he showed with his right. Has Lightning Jab. Lynch has a left jab that rivals the snappy lightning left thrusts of Mike Gibbons and Jnf:-BgnNn. Which is sayisg a good deal for a practical neophyte in the boxing game as com- pared with’ these two seasoned cam- s. Lynch whipped over that ‘Ertle whenever he so de- Thissone blow was enough to rtle, although Lynch tried a bit of ,.mfi'h‘in , as well as a dash of uppercutti with his right. But Lynch will have to educate that right hand of his before he can seriously be “considered as the coming bantam- weight champion. Lynch, in addi- tion to having a retentive memory— which retains anything now an oppo- nent A him—a whipper-snap- ing t, and the customary Irish 1| tenacity and gameness, has anot| natural advantage over all his bantam centemporaries. He is without question the tallest member of the 116-pound family. He towers some five feet seven inches, which is considered a sizeable height for even the “ordinary lightweight. Another thing in favor of Lynch is that his iucl'a extends inches beyond that of any other bantdm. Taking into a final reckoning that Lynch possesses these two natural advantages, in ad- dition to his other qualifications, he stands fqremost as the prospective bantamweight champion. Ertle has never contended that "1"{““ victory over him was a fluke. at is the best thing that can be said in favor of the champion—he has not emitted” the customary squawk. Lynch, however, stands ready to give the title-holder a return match; but [ohnny must bide his time until ynch has cleaned up the rest of the contenders. Lynch is seeking an un- dil&)ulod right to the championship, and for that reason wants to clean up the field before tackling Ertle again, as the latest sensation is confident he can knock out Ertle if they meet a second time. Omaha and Sioux City Play Soccer Game Here Today The Caledonians of Omaha and the Sons of St. George of Sioux City will clash today in a soccer battle at Rourke park for the Jackson hotel cup, a trophy these teams have com- ted for for three years. If the ledonians win they will earn_per- manent possession of thé trophy. Scotty Nielson, one of the stars of the Caledonian eleven, broke two bones in his wrist last Sunday, but expects to play today despite the in- jury. Percg Stillman, who formerly was a member of the Nonpareil team of O , is now playing with the Sioux City crew and is coming to Omaha determined to clean up on his former runnimg mates.

FOOT BALL GANES GATHER THR CASH All Four of Big Games in the East This Fall Will Draw Oapacity Orowds. MORAN WANTS TO BATTLE By FRANK G, MENKE. Foot ball will pay some handsome returns to the big calleges this year, There is promise now,_ of capacit crowds at all the big games in botl cast and west, The record income, no doubt, will be derived from the | Yale-Harvard combat on November 25, The game will be played in the Yale owl, which has a seating capacity of over 60,000, Requests for seats already em- brace more than 100,000 tickets. To take care of as many enthusiasts as gouibl:, the Yale authorities may uild 8,000 extra seats. The Harvard Stadium will seat about 42,000, and the big Harvard- Princeton game there promises to lure a capacity crowd. he new stands at Princeton will take care of over 40,000 spectators, and seat demands for the Yale-Princeton combat al- ready exceed the supply. Although the Army-Navy date is the same as that of the §| vard, it is certain that the service chools’ struggle in the Polo grounds, ew York, will attract. the limit crowd of something like 41,000 At ger head, this means an income of 123,000, a sum not to be sniffed at even in these days of mushroom for- tunes, The stands in the west ate not as huge as they are in the east, but every one of the big games will jam the enclosure. It is safe to say that a total of close to 400,000 will see the four big games in the east and those in the west. @ Moran is Idle, Francis Moran is poised for a spring at the frontispiece of Carl Mor- ris, or any other battler of the drndnluggt class, but none of the promoters is taking any feverish in- terest in it. Moran no longer is the drawing card of six or eight months ago. hat fliyver showing against Jack Dillon sort of “cooked” him. The Pittsburgher, however, hasn't forgotten the lesson that fracas taught him. He isn't in strict training now, but he is in good condition; in such shape that a few weeks of gruelling will him in tip-top shape. And never again will Moran take any chances of being beaten by walking into a rin all parts of his frame. Heston the Wonder. “Willie Heston was the greatest plunging halfback of them all," de- clares Fred M. Walker, who played against him in the other days when Walker was a star in the Chicago backfield, “No man could hit a line harder than the Michigan wonder; none could batter up opponents the way the Waolverine did, “As long as I live, I'll never for- get the game that Heston played against us in 1904, when we beat Michifln, 2to 0. Heston for a num- ber of us. He threw himself at our line time and again—and almost as often we threw him back. His failure infuri- ated him and he played from then on like he was a fiend possessed. He hurled his mighty body at the Maroon defense with fury and energy and ev- ery time we stopped him, it only add- ing to his determination to tear through us. i “] was playing halfback that day and on defense was right back of the line bolstering up our weakest side. Time and again glcston smashed and rammed into me. That was twelve years ago, but 1 still feel the bruises tHat he inflicted when he crashed into me. He had more strength and power than any man I have ever seen on a gridiron. His body, compact, almost squatty, came like a projectile when he hurled it forward.. When he crashed into a man, in that freak bucking way he had, the chances were that the man would flip out of his ath as does a pin on a bowling al- ey when a ball hits it. “We won that game on a safety, but when the final whistle blew I believe that every man on our team was battered and bruised in a dozen different places from stopping Hes- ton's bull-like rushes. And Heston, the human battering ram? Well, as far as 1 could see he came out of the battle unmarked, although he must have hurled himself a hundred times against our line.” Pirate Recruit Carries le-Har-~ considerably overplus in years had been tearing every line to pieces without really exerting| himself. And then he bumped against| Al McCoy May Not Be Great, But He's Got Plenty of Nerve New York, Oct. 28-—Al McCoy, who claims the middleweight title, may not be regarded as a great cham- pion, but he seeems to be game enough. If it were not for his doubt- ful claim to the honors, McCoy's earning power would be worth men- tioning, yet he is willing to risk all in a battle with Les Darcy.” At present McCoy is negotiating with Tom Andrews, who acts as Pro- moter Snowy Baker's representative, for a bout with the Australian sensa- tion. The Brooklynite has named a rice which is reasonable enough if is claim to the title is at all worthy of considération., But in order to avoid mistakes, McCoy insists that the amount of his guarantee be posted in a local bank before he packs his trunk for the long trip. That is where the hitch comes in, as Baker is not in the habit of paying for goods in advance. For. McCoy to tackle Darcy, looks like pugilistic suicide for the awkward Brooklyn slugger. There is no such thing as a no-decision bout in Aus- tralia, otherwise he would not be tak- ing such a desperate chance. It is better than an even proposition that he could stick the fulrtwcd(y rounds, for he is just as tough and knows as much about the game as George Brown, who stood off Darcy without suffering a knockdown. Then, too, there would always be that one chance in a hundred of McCoy landing an- other lucky wallop, such as he slipped to George Chip. Seats for Husker (ames Reserved For Omaha Fans Omaha foot ball fans who_intend to take in the big games at Lincoln this year will not have to worry about tickets,according to a communication from Guy Reed, athletic director at the university, to Stub Hascall, secre- !nrg of the Omaha Nebraska alumni. i%( blocks of cheice seats for both the Kansas and Notre Dame games will be sent to Omaha for distribution among the fans here, It is probable about 500 seats for both games will be allotted to Omaha. The Burlington has already made plans to run special trains to both of these games, the specials leaving shorfly after the noon hour and re- turning directly after the game is over. The Rock Island will run a special train to Iowa City, where the annual conflict with the Hawkeyes will be staged. This train will run from Lin- coln, but a couple of cars will be hooked on at Omaha or the accommo- huskers who wish to journey to lowa City. Americé;flg Make Fortune Racing On The Ice in Russia Cleveland, O., Oct. 28.—Racing on thé-ice tracks of Russia, Frank Caton and his two sons, Will and Samuel of Cleveland, have proven themselves bigger money-winners than on the Grand Circuit. According to the elder Caton, who has just returned here after twenty- three years in the realm of Emperor Nicholas, he and his two sons within the last three years drove horses to victories that netted a total of 675,- 000 rubles—about $337,000. Despite the war, Mr. Caton says, the winter race meets at Petrograd and Moscow have continued and the sport is “going big." At Moscow the total betting in a single day has gone over a million rubles. Races start at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and con- tinue after dark until 9 o'clock under electric lights. Some Athletic “Babes” Who Live Up to Handle When an_ athlete is nicknamed “Babe,” he is usually a big fellow. “Babe" White, captain of this year's strong Syracuse eleven, and “Babe” Ruth of the Boston Red Sox are in- stances. Gear, the New York A. C, nigh jumper and weight thrower, is called “Tiny” despite the fact he stands 6 feet 5 inches, and Shorty Des ardien's 6 feet 5 inches of height and rawn will not be forgotten for a long time by athletes against whom he | clashed when on University of Chi- | cago teams.

Lincoln Alone Stand Between Mulligan and Valley Championship. SHOULD WIN_BOTH GAMES By KARL LEE. While the path to a valley cham- pionship with its wreaths of glory almost stares Coach Harold Mulligan of Central High in the face, the cloud of Beatrice and Lincoln rises to stand between. The burning question is, “Will he keep his step?” From the standpoint of a perfectly-coached squad the Omaha team is a winner. Yet there is always that possibility that some of the men may prove false when they stack up against such as Rathbun and Reese have in the field. Lincoln’s game with York displayed one outstanding failing. It is a one- man team. In Halfback Griffin, in- jured or not, the fate of the team de- pends. This towering youth of 19 years and 185 pounds is the whole works at Lincoln. After failing to gain a foot in two line smashes, due to a bad “charley horse,” this Griffin at a critical moment stepped ten yards back of the line of scrimmage on a fake punt formation, looked for several hair-raising moments to the right and to ‘the left, finally singled out his man, and dropped a twenty- four-yard pass into the waiting arms of Lamb, end, who was at the mo- ment racing across the goal line. Lin- coln's other two touchdowns were hung up in just the same manner, Two Stars at Beatrice. Coach Rathbun has a husky, well- rounded squad at Beatrice. Probably but two men shine above the others, these being Kilpatrick, tackle, and Jones, fullback. The former is com- paratively slow and lumbering in his weight, but is a wonder at kicking. He can place-kick or drop-kick at al- most any angle. His beef on the line is one of the bulwarks that makes Rathbun’s slow, easy style of play a success. Jones is a hard line smagher, fast on his feet, and has a state-wide reputation. Including two entire back fields, the rest of the squad is of capable quality, good for a gain at almost any time. Supported by a heavy line and generaled by a quar- terback of three years' experience, the team works like a machine. Team Has the Goods. Such is the situation that faces Mul- ligan and such it gives rise to the question. The goods is in the team. It has weight; it has speed; it has fighting power, backed by the best possible coaching. Mulligan has de- veloped a defense that in the games this far has proved impenetrable. Speed will be Central's slogan in | these two crucial games, speed backed by machine-like line work. To let a Griffin whirl his way past the primary defense would be slaughter, for Reese has developed wonderful interference, even with his weak squad. To forget to spread on formations with the Lin- colnites on the offensive would be disaster. The Beatrice game will be a battle-of one machine against an- other, the speed of the one against the speed of the other. Let Mulligan strip the Queen City of her wing men and there is little chance of Central losing the valley title. Joe Rivers Starts Chicago, Oct. 28.—Joe Rivers, the California lightweight, has started training here for the first twenty- round match he has fought since Cal- ifornia was closed to the ring sport. Rivers is to step twenty rounds with Joe Thomas of New Orleans in the latter city on November 14. The match will be to a decision and the weight will be 133 pounds at 3 o'clock, which shows that Rivers still is a real lightweight. The California boxer plans to bring a home here. Trinity Coach Stands Up for His Warriors C. L. Parsons, coach of the Trinity college foot ball team, which recently lost a forfeited game to Bellevue and was accused of employing rough tac- tics, offers a vindication for his play- ers in a letter to the sporting editor of The Bee. Parsons writes that he cautioned his men against any rough work and that during the first half they re- frained. “At the end of the third quarter,” 'when Captain Racel kicked Swisher in the {ac the Trinity team rushed at him, Har- rison was there first, and Racely’s ac- tion seemed so open and unsports- manlike that Harrison could not re- frain from retaliation.

Last Sunday the Callfornia Street Mek- chants showed up In a rather depjeted con- aition for their contest with the Fontenelle Reserves, but nevertheless thy put up a stift argumnt. Two games have been arrangdd between the Nonpareils and C. B. Longpways, one to be played at Luxus park and the other at Athletic park.

Laat Sunday the Fontenelle Reserves came back as strong as onions flayored with mustard and’ mucilaged another game. No kicks from the camp of, the Athletics, 0 the treatment mccorded them at Dunlap, Ta., must have been satisfactory. 1t seems as though several Class B teams are a wee bit scared of the Nonpareil Re- sarves, for it {s tough sliding for them to book games, are in the market early for day game.

The clean offensive work of Becker stood out conspicuously during the Nourse Oll-German Shamrock: bout. Just because the dude that legs them for the Ducky Holmes tribe falled to boot the oval over the goal stick they had to suffer the humiliation of a defeat at the hands of the Dundee Woolen Mills.

Which probably makes Mike Gibbons and Jack Dillon real sore.

FAMOUS BIG SIX BECOMES GUN BUG| Christy Mathewson Passes Up Golf Game to Answer Lure of Trap Shooting. - WAS IN OMAHA LAST YEAR By PETER P. CARNEY. “Christy” Mathewson, Bucknell '00, for many years-the pitching staff of the New York Giants, and now the manager of base ball's Jonah team— the Cincinnati Reds—is a “gun bug.” “Matty” gave a lot of his spare time to golfing| the last year or so he was with the Giants and last fall he went along on the ball players' trap- shooting team with Chief Ben- 8 der, Harry Davis A and Otis Cran- Mathewson. ; dall, though he was a novice, and now he golfs no more. All the time he has to spare away from base ball is iven to trapshooting. s There wil{) be no tour of the ball player-trapshooters this fall, but if there was Mathewson would be one of the party. He filed his application early. “Big Six” was a novice at the trapshooting game when the trip be- gan, but he knew a lot about the “sport alluring,”* before he got through. He became just as much a student of trapshooting as of base ball. He became interested in the sport, then a devotee, and then decided that he wanted to know just how to break ‘em all the time. Matty talked with the cracks that it was his pleasure to meet and all of them supplied him with good advice, and as he made the rounds from Richmond to Omaha and back to Boston he picked up some- thing in every city. : ] “Matty” was very frank in saying that his eyes were opened to the rea- lization of the widespread interest in trapshooting. He never thought it was such a good sport or that so many people were interested in it. Since the trapshooting trip Mathewson has in- vaded the fields, too, and with Frank Steyens went into the North Carolina woods for ten days last winter. Good base ball players as a rule make excellent trap shots! It is an accepted fact that it requires the same acting in unison of the eye, brain and nerves to become a successful base ball player that it does to become an expert trapshooter, and in either sport it requires practice to become a leader.
