Traps Across the Muddy.
TWO DAYS OF SHOOTING

The second annual registered tour
nament of the Omaha Gun club will
be held Monday and Tuesday at the
traps across the big muddy.
The Omaha Gun club held its first
registered shoot a year ago, and it
proved huge. success. Over 200 scat
tergun marksnen from all parts of
Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota at
tended. 1t is believed this year an
ever larger number of shooters will
come in for thu two-day event.
The program for the first day
Monday, includes $50 targets. The
first 100 target of this program will
determine the Omaha Gun clubs am
nual amateur championship for tro-

gram is also fol $50 targets. The en-
trance fee on Both days is SIS, with
81 optional on Zach fifty targets. The
entrance fee for the Omaha Gun club

A new pot shoot stunt, which it is
believed will prove popular with the
shooters, has been arranged. After
each event 10 cents for each lost tar
get is deposited with the scorer. All
high guns in each event divide the
money. 1t will make a good pot to
shoot for, and it Ientails no bookkeep-

Oodles of enmity exists between these
two aggregations, so warm tussle is

NONPAREILS CAN'T
FIND OPPONENTS
No Glass A Teams Organized in
Omaha and Phil Lynch Is
Up Against Problem.
MAY FORM ALL-STAR TEAM
By FRANK QUIGLEY.

Phil Lynch, the indefatigable man
ager of the Nonpareils, who glommed
the 1915 foot ball championship of
Omaha and almost grabbed the state
title, has run head-on into stumbling
block that is giving him many might
Of nightmares. Phil is trying to get
games for his 1916 athletes and it is
interfering with his slumber because
he can't find any Class A teams.
For some reason OF other the Class
A field was completely overlooked BY
everybody this year-that is, every
body except Lynch. About twenty
five Class B teams were organized,
but no Class A.
{ The Ducky Holmes and the Council
Bluffs Longeways may be induced to
take chance on the Lynch crew, but
the rest OF them aver nothing to do.
So Lynch will have to take his eleven
out OF town or bring outside warriors
to Omaha in order to provide amuse-
ment for his huskies.
lax OF All-Star Team.
Several of the former big guns on
the gridiron got their noodles to-
gether last week and decided to mp-
cilage a bunch of the bright lights to-
gether and challenge the Nonpareils
to combat with them in the immediate
future. The team will be known as the
All-Stars and will consist of speed
gents of repute that would like to dis
tinguish themselves once again before
cremating their foot ball activities. If
this game is arranged it will probably
be the banner attraction among the
local high-class talent.
Although the Thirty third and Cali
fornia Street Merchants proved them
selves to consist of every requisite
desirable to hike up the road of fame
dom in their class, they were too light
to withstand the terrific onslaughts
Of the heavy backfield attached to
the Dunlap, Ia, foot ballists. Dunlap
wishes to meet teams that will give
them a close game in order to enter
tain and retain the patronage Nof the
foot bali devotees in that county.
There is only one team in Omaha that
could probably trim them and that
squad is the Nonpareils, so they will
have to seek other fields to locate the
competition they are anticipating.
This season the question Of parks
was solved long Before the season
arrived. AT that only two enclosed
parks will be utilized in Omaha,
namely Ducky Holmes, located at
Thirty-frst and Ames avenue, and
Luxus park at Twenty-fourth and
Vinton streets. Joe Smith park al

DARCY Is REAL pug,
SAYS CAPTAIN RICE
American Who Has Seen EN-
In All Parts Of World Says
Australian is Goods.
is A MATCH FOR GIBBONS
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

LES Darcy is real fighter; one Of
the most brilliant that has flashed
across the pugilistic horizon for many
years"
So says Cushman A. Rice--and
"Cappy" knows real scrapper when
he sees one. The retired army Of
ficer has seen in action. every one
Of the pugilistic satellites of America,
Europe and Australia during the last
FIVE years, and to the Australian
champion he accords the distinction
OF being a real wonder.
Darcy knows the fight game" de-
clared Captain Rice. He is fast,
shifty, can take tremendous lot of
punishment-and he surely can hit.
Yet Darcy never seems to aim for
a one-punch knockout. He cuts his
man TO ribbons first and then shoots
over the crusher.
Darcy's Huge Hands.
The most remarkable thing about
Darcy is his hands. ! noticed them
first when ! saw him fight i'll Sydney,
Australia, when | was there last win
ter. They impressed me as being the
hugest | had ever seen. Later he was
introduced to me aud when we shook
hands he practically smothered my
right in his. Darcy, yol know, was
a blacksmith in his earlier youth, and
| | guess they develop huge hands in
that trade in Australia.
THE most disconcerting thing
about Darcy, from foeman's view
point, is that the oftener he is hit The
harder he fights Usually, when q
man is walloped by another two oil
three times, he begins to back up. i
is exactly the reverse with the Aus
ltralian. He really doesn't start t
battle until the other fellow land
on him. But just as soon as he i
on the receiving end Of a blow he be
gins rushing-really begins to fight
THE harder and oftener they use,
to hit Battling Nelson the more furi
GUS would become his attack. And
after while, you know, the othe
fellows quit hitting Bat. So il is will
Darcy, except that Darcy doesn't fgh
along Bats old theory OF take
dozen punches to land one, Whel
4 Darcy starts out after man he con
tinues to protect himself--somethin
4 that Bat rarely did.
Is Ring Genius.
Il saw Darcy in his second fight wit
Eddie McGoorty. Many alibis sine
have been made for the second knock
out OF the American, but in my opir
ion Darcy beat him because he wa
! the better man. McGoorty is cleve
but Darcy was more so. McGoort
could time his punches and had goo

than Eddie. The Australian battere

on helplessness and then sent over
the morpheus swat"
Captain Rice recently received let
ter from Australia which declared that
it was possible for Darcy to come to
the United States. The communica-
ton was from William F. Carbett,
the most famous sporting writer in
Australia.
"Carbett told me that if at least
three matches could be arranged for
Darcy it was likely that he would
make the trip" said Captain Rice.
Darcy, of course, is subject to call
to the European battle front. But I
as sure he could come to the states
for three or four months il he could
get fights with Mike Gibbons, Jack
Dillon, Battling Levinsky, Bob Moha
or some of the others.
Darcy is the particular pet Of the
Australian premier and members OF
the government there. Should actual
bouts be framed for him here and his
money be guaranteed, Darcy would
come. His departure from Australia
probably would require the posting
Of big bond, say $4,000 or $4,000,
but he wouldn't have any trouble
getting It.

"Over in Australia they are keen
for Darcy to try conclusions with
Gibbons. Stories of billions giant
killer deeds have peeped into Aus
