Doping Chances of Two Omaha
Fiues to Cop the State Title

Central has licked South Side High,
20 to Is, which close score gives rise
to an all-important question. The
question regards the chances of the
local teams in the title race at the
state tournament next March. 1t is
divided in two parts: Does the close
score indicate that Omaha has weak
ened to the level of minor team or
does it mean that the Packers have
winning five this year,
Leaving all bubbles aside the cham
pionship race is going to be some
race. Practically every one of the 100
odd "out-in-the-state" bushers are
coming to Lincoln as dark horses
with the express desire to clean up
the "city fellers." Where the local
teams may seem all powerful, some
little burg like Friend or Stanton or
Diller may show up with class of
jitzu that will spoil the hopes here. 1t
has happened before and it can hap
pen again. Hence the additional
worry when South Side gets strong
again.
In all fairness the CentralSouth
conflict was largely the Packers, or
speaking distinctively, was Lyman
Corr's. The South students average
less than 1874 pounds, two are but Sec
ond year men and one is first year
artist yet the team played the bigger
school athletes to standstiil. weight
was against them eight pounds to the
man, while Captain Corr of the Pack.

to death he is quite able to give a
good account of himself.
Devere has just returned from
South America, where he gave the Ar
gentine Republics heavyweight champ
beating and fought twenty-round
draw with Sam McVea.
Devere has improved wonderfully
in the last year, according to reports
which have reached here. He is a
big six-foot one-inch man and weighs
around 200 pounds. He hits like a
pile driver, too. He may not be a
championship possibility yet, but if
he keeps on getting onto the fine
points of the game he will soon be
in a position to throw scare into
some of those who believe they are.
Moore Looks Good.
Not in long time has more like
ly looking bantamweight made his
appearance in Chicago than Pal
Moore of Memphis, who has come
here under the wing Of Tommy
| Walsh.
Moore will be "a years old in July
and he is Irish, but long residence In
Tennessee has substituted the brogue
of Old Erin for delightful southern
drawl incidentally he is the twin
brother Of fellow who does not care
at all for the fstic game.
Moore-that's his right name. al
though the front handle is really
Thomas Wilson and not Pal-holds
eight-round decisions over Johnny
Ertle and Pete Herman, the present
champion. He also took the measure
of Johnny Williams in battle OF the
same length. He Is a rangy youth
who easily can make ll6 pounds ring
side. II might be mentioned that
Young Solzberg and frankie Burns,
eastern bantams, didn't come off any
the best Of it when they got in the
ring with him In New York.
Moore's latest victim is Arthur
Simon, one OF the boys of his home
town, whom he trimmed in hand ,
fashion down there the other night.
He is now dickering for match with
Kid Williams, who lost the crown to
Herman.
The following may prove a sad
blow to those who believe absolute
abstemiousness from tobacco is one
of the requisites for a fighters train
ing program. Moore smokes big
cigars when he isn't actively in train
ing. ...
81 haven't any pet style of fight
ing" he says. when a fellow Is a
boxer he hates to have someone step
in and show him out. A slugger loses
his confidence when someone outslugs
him. So when | fight fellow who
adopts any particular style | try to
go in and beat him at his own game.

Fred Fulton Is the Man
To Battle less Willard

New York, Feb. 10.-If Willard is
eager to defend the title of worlds
heavyweight champion his next op-
ponent will be Fred Fulton. A fight
between these big men is inevitable,
for the reason that Fulton's Weight
and inches make him the most formid-
able opponent for the champion.
Sporting men seem to think that
Miske, who has beaten Dillon, Wein-
ert and others, is too light to stack 10
against Fulton just now. Miske is a
kid and needs another year or more
before he will carry enough avoirdu-
pois to enable him to go after leading
heavyweight honors. Fulton is ready
to sign articles with Willard and
there is much interest in the pros
pective match. Willard wanted to
box Fulton year ago, but there was
no public demand for the bout. Con-
ditions have changed since then.

OMAHA WEAKENED,
LINCOLN STRONGER
Return of AIbrecht to Lincoln
Changes State Basket Ball
Situation.
CENTRAL MISSES PAINTER
By KARL LEE.

The return of Hank Albrecht to
the Lincoln High school five and the
loss OF Floyd Paynter to the Omaha
High school team are lightning
strokes that entered the state basket
ball arena in the last week. That the
prospects of both Lincoln and Omaha
will be greatly changed as result is
shown BY the Capital City's victory
over University Place Wednesday, IS
to 10, and Omaha's narrow escape
from South High week ago, ~ to y.
Douglas and Lancaster county su-
premacy now lies undetermined until
February II, when Patton's South
High proteges make the trip to Lin
coin to play Reese's quintet in a game
that perhaps will be described much
the same as an Omaha-South Omaha
game; in other words, a desperate
battle. Lyman Corr meant to win the
Omaha-South Omaha game last Sat-
urday evening and still intends to
finish the job when Mulligan's men
invade the Packer village, Febru-
airy l6.
Coach Blair's FIVE at Fremont, Dol
stored materially with three Of Uncle
Sans valiants, got together last week !
and defeated Coach Kline's Norfolk
five, one of the admitted contenders
for the state title, by score Of IS
to 16. The game was a battle royal
from start to finish, with the Fitz-
-Dana-Gardiner combination
there IN all its glory. Schuyler main
tanned its secondary supremacy IN
Dodge county by defeating West
Point, a western leader, 50 to "a. Fig
uring that West Point defeated Wa
hoo handily, 81 to "a, and the latter
came away a victor from the strong
Arlington FIVE by a score of 10 to 8,
a pretty safe line OF dope is presented.
at least as far as Dodge county is
concerned.

as many other honors as could be

Then again the loss of Paynter
should not have been felt so much.
Logan, one of the leading guards OF
the state last year, and Maxwell, one

Frank Navin, owner of the Detroit

Navin has flat-footedly refused to
raise a salary as a result of the strike
order on the grounds that he will not
stand to be dubbed into advancing
the stipends Of his athletes. He says
Veach and Witt, who are holding out,
can strike if they want to and ven
lures the prediction that base ball will
survive despite their loss. In fact,
Navin is so peevish he even says he
believes base ball could get along

HOW FRED FILLS HIS IDLE
HOURS

Atlanta, Ga, March ia new way
of training fighting cocks has been
invented by Fred G. Hunter, of AZ
lanta
Putting on pair of boxing gloves
he gets down on his knees in front OF
a cock and gives him a biff with his
left. OF course the rooster, if he's
got any fighting blood at all, comes
back with beak and claws. Then
Hunter swats him with his right
sending the bird whirling across the
ring"
Thus they have it back and forth
the rooster never getting close enough
to do any damage to Hunter with its
beak or claw, but always coming back
for more. Hunter says that the exer-
else not only trains the roosters to
stand lot of rough mauling, but
hardens their muscles and improves
their wind.
