COM
PANY COMING,

One of the best attractions ever of
fered the HendersunviIle public viii
appear at the Court House on We'd
nesday, March, /, at $3.50, when the
famous Roney1s Boys Concert com-
pany of Chicago viii render varied
program of concerted instrumental
selections in costumes, vocal solos,
duets, militant ensemble numbers,
numerous other popular musical pres
-entations.
This organization of talented boy
musicians. under the personal train
ing and management Of Henry B.
Honey, has won national fame, .hav-'
ing, among other notable appearances,
played at the famous Children's
Christmas Party given by Ex-Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt in the White
House at Washington several years
ago, of which the Chicago Tribune
had the following to say:
More than 500 children attended
the Christmas party at the White
House, and not since the days of Presi
dent Tyler has there been anythingf
like it.
Roney's Boys" who gave the musi-
cal program, scored a great hit, and
the enthusiastic little guests encored
all their selections. The Golden Organ
Chimes excited the children and were
evidently appreciated as much as any
part of the program. Today the great
East Room was the sene of the merri1.
est party ever given here. Mr.. Roney
bears the distinction of having been
chosen from hundreds of musicians
all over the country for the White
House Christmas concert"
Mr.. H. C. Meyer. who will manage
the entertainment is to be congratulate
ed upon his good fortune in securing,
this great attractions which had an
open date between Spartanburg and
Asheville.
No one should miss this show as
fRoney's Boys" are unique, unriyal-
ed and unapproachable as popular
attraction. No other company appeals
SO equally and so irresistibly to old
and young, for they are nothing less
than musical sensation. These tall
ented boys not only entertain, charm
and fascinate, but they educate, stimu-
late and inspire the children every
where by their marvellous accomplish
ments in music, especially vocal.
Every charming feature that long ex-
perience and ingenuity can suggest.
is embodied in these programs.
Tickets will be 50c for adults and
25cfor children under IL years of age
max be had at Hunters PhaE-t
macy or from Mr.. Mayer.

Five games of the Omaha High school S
basket ball schedule for this season have
already been arranged by Prof. C. Z.
Reed, athletic director. Lincoln, Sioux
City and Council Bluffs are included In
the schedule to date, two games each be-
ing arranged with Lincoln and Sioux City.
Prof. Reed also expects to schedule games
with York. Beatrice and South Omaha.
Red Oak (Ia.) is also willing for a game,
bat 1t is not thought advisable to schedule
any games with teams any great distance
from Omaha on account Of the expense
incurred.
Prior TO the opening Of the season sew
eral practice games with several OF the
best Quintets at the Young Mems Chris
tian association viii be played to put the
lads In seed shape for the opening Of the
season. The regular five win also enter
the Nebraska state high school tourna-
meat which will be held at Lincoln during
the latter part OF February and the inter
state high school tournament which will
be played In March under the auspices OF
the University OF Omaha.

What of the Championships?

! and lame and is more interested in sell
ing gents furnishings in his Calgary store
than bothering about prize ring compiled
lions.
But what is to become of the title asks
some one
The answer has been supplied by w. +.
Corbett the noted Australian boxing
critic. He declares that Sam McVea is
the heavyweight champion OF the world
and that he gained his title through de-
fault on Johnson's part. Here Is Cor
belts argument:
III Jack Johnson really retired, the
worlds championship crown win so to
Sam McVea. 1t is decided by sporting
law long since enacted that in the circum-
stances which shall presently refer to
the title must pass as stated.
1T is provided and allowed that, In
the event Of champion Withdrawing
from his field of action, the title held by
him shall revert to the Immediately pre-
vlous holder, should he sun be a going
concern, as II were, but this rule cannot
operate In connection with Jack John
sons mantle. and II 1t did, there would
be no rlghtful claimant, as the man
Tommy Burns) from whom the famous
black wrests1 the distinction is now out
OF the game.
Jack johnson covenanted with
Hugh ID. Mcintosh, as the promoter. and
Sam MoVea to meet the latter at the
sydney Stadium on December "a next
for the heavyweight championship OF the
world, and the agreement was duly
signed, sealed and delivered II this
compact is not adhered to. then the title
which Johnson resigns must become Nc
Yeas through Johnson's default. II
should be McVea's whether the other col
ored man gave II up or not were John
son an absentee on the date and from the
place fixed"
The above argument is good and sound,
too, II Johnson and MoVea really signed
articles TO box in sydney on certain
date for the worlds championship. But
what OF itG A championship that isn't
gained by hard fighting never brings
mucn grist TO the mill.
In this connection il looks as though
"Bill' Corbett's line OF reasoning could
be made TO apply TO Wolgasts case in
a way that would rebound to Freddie
Welsh's advantage. But, first OF all, Il
would have TO be decided that Wolgast
defaulted to Welsh. Ad certainly signed
TO box Freddie for the worlds cham
pionship at Vernon on Thanksgiving day
ana failed to live up to his contract, and,
II YOU can prove Sam MeVea is worlds
champion by that kind OF logic, you will
have TO admit that Welsh has am equally

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.-what be-
comes OF a pugillstic championship when
the holder OF It retlres voluntarily or
through accident or III health?
This question has been up for discus
sion a good many times recently, mainly
through Jack Johnsons abandonment of
prize ring pursuits and A. wolgast's at
tack of appendicitis.
Some authorities claim that in any OF
the cases cited the title reyerts 10 the
previous holder. If the argument Is
valid and Wolgast's operation means per-
manent disablement, Battling Nelson
would be Justified in usurping the light
weight championship.
II Is not believed for moment that
welgast will be out OF the harness for
more than few months, however. and,
for that matter, even those who enter
tain grave doubts as TO whether Ad will
be able 10 defend his laurels are quite
satisfied TO shelve further discussion UNI
III they hear how -Wolgast progresses.
! There Is time enough TO cross a bridge
when you come TO H. aud there win be
time enough TO talk OF the disposal OF
the lightweight crown when II definitely
appears that wolgast has no furthr use
for Il.
In Johnson's case II IS different Jack
keeps saying that he is out OF the game
for good and there Is good reason for
wondering who win be the next to wear
the heavyweight mantle
"A II should be decided that the man
who held the championship before John
son is best entitled 10 II. the average
person would have TO think twice before
deciding who really is the man.
Johnson was regarded as the champion
after he defeated lommy Burns in Aus
tralla, but, in the opinion OF the major
lty. Burns never had perfect right 10
call himself champion OF the world.
Jeffrles undeniably was champion when
he retired After he decided to fight
Johnson the "boilermaker let Il be
known that he stln considered himself
the king OF heavies. His stand was up
held too. by numbers OF critics. and when
Jeffries entered the ring at Reno he tried
to persuade himself that he was defend
ing his old-time title rather than trying
to wrest II from the negro.
AS things went. IL matters little what
Jeffries thought OF IL. What would puz-
zle us all TO decide right now Is who
should Johnson's title revert 10, Jeffries
or Tommy Burns?
Luckily We do not have TO decide, for
neither man Graves the distinction. JEFF

It is through the neglect of the forego-
ing principles that England has ceased
to be regarded by the athletic authorities
as formidable in distance events. In Eng
land professional coaches and training
tables are tabooed by the amateur rules,
but they will in time adopt the methods
which the Americans and Canadians have
proved to be so hopeful in developing
championship material.
The benefits of Bonhags observation
and application of English long distance
method have produced such sterling per-
formers as John Paul Jones Of Cornell,
he one-mile record holder; Louis Scott,
ON Collins. Abel Kiviat, Melvin shep-
lard and Tell Berna, the Comedians.
This Improvement has resulted in short
ening the time in the mile, five-mile, ten
mile and cross-country distances.
Prior to 1906 the man who ran mile
under 4:90 was an exception. At present
we have about six men who can con-
sistently run mile in 4:2O.
This is a bigger Improvement than APP
pears by the simple statement. 1t means
that in four years the mile event has
changed from an event in which a COM
petitor could jog over the three-fourths
OF the way and winding up with a sprint
make a credtable performances. This
event at the present day requires a con-
testant TO be on his toes on the mark,
for from the crack of the pistol 1t Is one
continual sprint till the tape is broken.
l look for the future OF American
Olympic teams to be very rosy. The
specializing is bound TO produce race
of athletics in the future of which We
win be proud. The proper handling Of
the schoolboy or younger athlete cannot
help but eliminate the large amount of
bad effects resulting from youths indulg-
ing in strenuous athletics without the
supervision of competent instructors.
