Freddie Beell to
Go After Title at
Age Of Forty-Two

Freddie Beell does not believe in
that modern sporting adage they
never come back" at least he doesn't
believe it applies to Freddie.
That he will shortly move to Omaha
to make this city his headquarters and
go into active training for a campaign
for the middlewcight championship Of
America, is word received from Beell.
Freddie's wife is i'll with pneumonia
and as soon as she has recovered
Freddie is coming west from his Wis
consin farm.
Beell says he will not have any trou-
Bile in making l58 pounds. the middle
weight mark. He also believes he will
have no trouble in downing such foes
as Mike Yokel, Pet Bro .n, Chris Jor-
dan and other stars of the middle
weight division.
Freddie is going out after a title
at the afe of AZ years, an age when
most athletes have been laid safely
away on the shelf But although he's
admittedly not the same man he was a
decade ago when he won the worlds
championship from Frank Gotch.
Beell is still pretty shifty wrestler
and he has many supporters who be-
lieve he will clean up the middle
weight ranks.

OMAHA MAY LOSE
"JAWN" DENNISON
Dynamic Leader of Luxus Re-
ceives Flattering Offers
From Out of Town.
HAS NO OMAHA TEAM NOW

The Greater Omaha league may
lose Johnny Dennison, the dynamic
leader of the LuxuS, two times win
ner of the Greater Omaha league rag
and former city champions of Omaha.
Dennison, it has been discovered,
has received half a dozen flattering
offers to leave Omaha and pursue
the pastimc of the ash and horsehide
i'll foreign fields. While Johnny does
not admit for publication that he is
contemplating the acceptance of any
of these offers, the fact that he has
not yet announced whether or not he
will manage Greater Omaha nine
this year prompts local amateur fans
to suspect that he is at least giving
them serious consideration.
Two of the offers received by Den
nison are from professional clubs, one
in Glass D league and the other in
Class B. Both of them are mana
gerial offers. Johnny is also said to
have been approached by Western
league magnate. Another managerial
offer is from a prominent Chicago
semi-pro club which makes tour of
the central states during the summer
months.
The Luxus team managed by Den
nison the last two years will, Of
course, not be in the field this sea-
son and as Johnny has not announced
utilization with any Of the other local
clubs sandlot enthusiasts believe he
may be tempted to accept one of
these out-of-town offers and forsake
Omaha.

plate, Orr raped it against the
boards for two bases.
Dick Egan was the next man Up.
The pitcher secured the ball from
the outheld and without a windup
jumped into the box and shot one
over, again hoping to find the batter
with his head down. Egan duplicated
Orr's smash and the first run was

ISBELL SAYS PLAN
OF WESTERN ISBAD
Wichita Magnate Declares
Denver and Sioux City Do
Not Belong.
BOOSTS KANSAS TOWNS

Frank lsbel, sage OF the Western
league, who was the only representa-
tive of that organization to attend the
redistricting conference called by AL
Tearney of the Three-l league at
Cedar Rapids back in January, seems
to have imbbed some OF the ideas set
forth by Tearney at the time, even
though no fruit was borne of the con-
ference. Isbell is out in an interview
i'll which he strongly criticizes the
present makeup of the Western, out
lines changes that he thinks should
be made and predicts the league never
will be a success until some such
changes are made. He says the pres
ent CIRCUIT is jug-handlcd, lop-sided
and altogether undesirable. He as
serts that Denver is too distant from
the remainder of the league and he
puts Sioux City in the mot wanted"
class along with Denver. Instead of
Sioux City and Denver Icy would
take Topeka back into the circuit and
plant Western league club at Hutch
inson. Kan,
The apathy toward base ball which
cost Topeka its franchise is attributed
by the Wichita mogul TO the fact that
the Topeka ball park has been poorly
located The park, he declares. was
remote from the business center and
the street car facilities were distress
ingly inefficient. According to 1zzy,
Topeka would patronize Western
league base ball and keep the sport
on a paying basis if the park were
planted at spot where the fans
would not be compelled to devote an
extra half-afternoon to travelling to
and from the games. The views of
the Wichita leader on the circuit ques-
ton are set forth in the following
statement;
"I would like to see Topeka back
in the Western league. | would not
be in favor OF Topeka under the con-
ditions that existed in the past, how
ever but with downtown base ball
park | would consider it a safe bust
ness proposition. No small city can
be a self-supporting proposition in
base ball with a park that is not easy
to reach from the business center,
81 consider it more thar a posi-
bility that not only Topeka, but Hut
Crimson as we'll will be in the Western
league in the near future A circuit
composed of Omaha and Lincoln, Des
Moines and St. Joe, Topeka and Jop-
lin and Wichita and Hutchinson
would make ideal groups. for arrang-
ing schedules and would save thous-
ands of dollars for the league in trav-
cling expenses. Such circuit would
make one OF the most prosperous
leagues in the country, and | am for
it now and all the time. know that
Hutchinson with a downtown ball
park would be money maker in the
Western league, and the same is true
OF Topeka. look for the club own
ers to get together in the near future
and quit giving all their receipts to
the railroads"

Pa Rourke Sends
Arthur Capper Cup
To Ducky Holmes

Pa Rourke last week shipped the
Arthur Capper cup which Omaha
won last year by having the largest
attendance of any city in the league at
the opening game, to Lincoln.
At their recent league meeting the
moguls ordered the cup sent to the
various cities for exhibition purposes,
so Rourke sent it first to Lincoln,
which city will send it along to an
other city and so forth until the cup
has been displayed four or FIVE days
in every city in the circuit
The cup was put up last year by
Governor Capper of Kansas for the
largest attendance at an opening
game. Omaha won it with a good
margin. If Omaa wins it again this
city will get permanent possession
of it.

Chicago Cubs to .....,..
Play the Rourkes
In Omaha April 6

The Chicago Cubs will play an ex-
hibition game with the Rourkes in
Omaha April 6.
The Cubs will be journeying
through Omaha on their way back to
the Windy City from California. They
wanted to stor off April 7, but that
date was already booked, so they
agreed to stop on April E. 1t will be
the Cub second team that will appear
in Omaha, but as the Cubs have
something like fifteen athletes on the
string, the second team is likely to be
almost as good as the first.
Kansas City will play exhibition
games in Omaha April ! and s. The
Milwaukee club will play two games
here later in that week, the exact
date of which has not been definitely
determined Rourke may bring the
st. Joseph boys here for couple OF
preseason games April IA and IS, if
they can be arranged. The only other
exhibition game this spring will prob
ably be one with the Brandeis about
April |.
