LES DARCY PULLS
ONE REGULAR BONE
Failure to Get Himself a Man
ager Putting Australian
Into Disrepute.
MAKING MIDDLE OF THINGS
BY RINGSIDE.

Chicago, March 3.-Unless Lester
Darcy, Australia's champion, gets hep
to himself his American invasion is
likely to prove fasco instead OF a
trip which would pour golden shekels
into his Golfers.
Darcy has made good impression
personally everywhere he has been,
but the muddle into which his affairs
have been permitted to fall because
of his lack of competent manager,
rapidly is putting him into disrepute.
When Darcy landed in the United
States he was armed to the teeth with
advice against the American manager,
he was loaded with cautions that he
must expect to be skinned out of his
eye teeth il he hired someone to ham
die his affairs, and in his kid mex
perience he decided he would handle
his own affairs like he always had
done back home. Whether he knew
it or not, Snowy" Baker really was
his manager in Australia at that.
Darcy was his one big drawing card,
and when Darcy made money, SO did
Baker. Baker saw to it that Darcy
made good matches, that he continued
a favorite, and that he won.
With the Baker influence lacking
when he reached this country, Darcy
was at sea, but he didn't realize it.
He couldn't see that with an honest
American manager, one who knew the
ms and outs of the game here, he
would realize his ambitions and rake
in the coin and perhaps title.
As result, Darcy has Numbered in
so many instances, as witness the mix
up in Wisconsin, where he narrowly
escaped being barred, although he
never had shown in this country, and
in New York, where Al McCoy's
standing was in doubt when Darcy
signed to meet him. With good mani
ager at. the helm, these things could
not have happened.
When the time comes for Darcy to
prepare himself for clash with the
phantom-like Mike Gibbons, of St.
Paul, he will have reason to congrat-
ulate himself that he has the services
OF Fred Gilmore to fall back upon,
Gilmore was connected with Gibbons
for some time, knows his style and
ring tactics and lot of inside facts
about him, and should prove invalu-
able to Darcy. AS a clever exponent
of boxing, Gilmore has few equals in
this country, and had he displayed the
nerve OF some of those who now lay
claim to championship class he would
have proved himself second Mike
Gibbons or Packey Mcfarland.
Mike Has Kick Too.
Darcy will need clever boxing if he
hopes to get close enough to Gibbons
to put over the sleep producing
punch. Which does not mean that
Gibbons is a boxer pure and simple,
despite popular impression. His rec
ord is literally sprinkled with X. O.

Plestina-T Taylor
Match Called Off
For Time at Least

The Martin Plestina-Jack Taylor
match, scheduled for Omaha the first
part of this month, has been called off.
The articles for this match called
for the bout on any day between
March S and March 10. After the
documents were signed, it was found
impossible to get hall for the event
within this time limit. And as other
engagements interfere with later
dates, the match has been called off
for a period at least. Plestina and
Taylor, however, expect to clash be-
fore the summer is over as there is a
keen rivalry between the two men:
Taylor's next match will be with
Big Bill Hokuff, the husky Omaha
Bohemian, Hokuf and Taylor clash
at Kearney Thursday night.
Taylor also received an offer to
meet Stecher on the Pacific coast, but
could not make the engagement, ow-
ing to previous contracts.

CONTRACTS GO OUT
TO AMATEURS SOON
Board of Directors of Sandlot
Association Decides March
IA as the Day.
MANY LEAGUES TO MEET
By FRANK QUIGLEY.

Last week when the heads of the
Omaha Amateur Base Ball associa-
ton congregated, it was unanimously
agreed to give out contracts to the
various teams, March IA. Some OF
the leagues are already organized and
are now waiting for the contracts, but
it was deemed advisable by the board
not to issue the contra It's until
organization in all the leagues was
near completion. An organization
committee of three, namely, William
Blozies, Bernard Hegeman and the
writer was appointed by the presi-
dent
1t is a mortal cinch that the sec
tional championship series Of the Ma
tonal Amateur Base Ball association
will be jerked off without hitch this
year because an easterner who is the
owner of more than a million of Uncle
Sans silver boys has personally
guaranteed the expenses of all the
contesting teams. His name is Coff-
man and he is heavily interested in a
large merchandise house located in
Pittsburgh. OF course the champion
ship contests will have to be held at
Pittsburgh.
At the meeting of the Greater
Omaha league two committees were
appointed by President Isaacson, one
to revise the constitution, and the
other to investigate applicants desir-
ing a franchise in Omaha's chief
league. The matter of the eligibility
of Harry Williams, professional,
player of note, was brought up for
discussion.
If the expectation of Charles
(Butch) Fries do not take trip to
dreamland, the visions of loneliness
with base ball aspirations scattered
throughout Omaha will organize sew
eral teams and form a Saturday
league.
Next Wednesday, the American
league will hold another meeting and
endeavor to fill the gaps left open by
the departure of couple of squads
that have abandoned the field. This
league could use two more teams, so
any manager desiring a franchise is
urgently requested to attend this
meeting. The following teams are
now associated with the American
league Townsends, o. B. Indians,
Chris Lycks, National Cash Registers,
=. D. Crews and Omaha Printing Co.
The following teams compose the
Metropolitan league: Modern Wood
men, Stays, Woodmen of the World,
Cram Exchange, Western Union and
Fretag's Pharmacy. Walter Nielsen
was reelected president of this league
and Victor Lund was elected secre-
tary.
Inter-City is Short.
Next Tuesday, the magnates of the
Inter-City league will elect officers.
They need a pair of squads. These

OMAHA FIVES LOOK
LIKE CONTENDERS
South High, However, is Ex-
pected to Have Trouble
With University Place.
SEVEN TEAMS HAVE EDGE
BY KARL LEE.

A gamble of seven characterizes the
seventh annual fight for the Nebraska
basket ball championship. Seven
teams playing in seven crucial games
occupy the central light. Of The
seven, Fremont, Central High, Lin
coin, South High, Sutton, University
Place and Schuyler, the two Omahas
are prominent. The local hves will
decide the gamble one way or another.
South High and University Place
meet in the first important battle of
the tournament. The Methodists
have beaten the Packers declsively in
midseason. Paper odds are with
them. The South crew, however,
plays 100 per cent better ball
now than then and is confident of
coming away victor. Omaha rooters
are with them in this.
Past leaders of the season feature
in the six other crucial games. The
second round is expecting to see Lin
coin, South High, Geneva, Harvard,
Omaha, Fremont and Friend lined up
against their respective byes, namely,
Arlington, Wahoo, Schuyler, Norfolk,
Osceola, Columbus and Stanton. The
Fremont Columbus, Sutton Hebron
games, occurring in this round, are
expected to be closely played games.
Generally Fremont and Sutton are
considered the better of the four and
will probably face the third round un-
blemished.
The third round sees the livcnng
up OF competition. Unless South High
meets defeat in it first game against
University Place it will meet another
quintet that has tasted of Packing
town victory during the season-Lin-
coin. Sutton will meet a formidable
enemy in the form of the Schuyler
demons, which will be some battle.
Omaha should easily defeat Harvard
or Norfolk, inevitably meeting either
team, and Fremont is not expected
to have any trouble walking on the
Friend five.
pdSt OCNll-r HAAS.
Granting that South High con-
tinues in the light of victory and that
Sutton does away with Schuyler in
the third round, the semi-hnals will
see two of the fastest and prettest
games of the tourney. Central High
and Fremont, early season rivals, by
comparative scores, will meet in what
is expected to be one of the fastest
games of the tourney and Sutton
and South High will mix in what can
be predicted as a real Central-South
game. Fremont has a team built
much the same as Mulligan's FIVE,
well-rounded, long-winded and
rangy. Spasmodic play features the
attack of both teams, while forward
guarding and floor play is their chief
asset in lull.
All in all the tourney will be a
whip from the start. There are few
teams entered, but they confidently
expect to make one big leap for the
title. The fact that the Armory
floor, comparatively as large as the
average "Y" court in the state is used,
and that ten-minute halves are to be
played in all rounds but the finals
will prove big asset to many OF the
smaller towns.

When Mack broke up his famous
championship machine he was none
too liberal in giving reasons for his
action. Ii he wanted to wreck a win
ming club it was his right to do so,
and he did not feel that the baseball
world needed to know every detail
about it.
Since that time the busy scrbes
have made discoveries or at least they
thought so, and it is generally agreed
that the Athletics were broken up be-
cause of two things. One was the
half-hearted way in which Phiadel-
phia fans supported the Mackmen,
even when thew were "two-to-one
shots" against any club in either big
league. Another was a lack of COM
plcte harmony in the club. And Mack
determined that managerial discipline
and routine should be upheld.
Mack has never been known ia
spend a fortune for ball plaver. Like
wise he is not numbered among the
most liberal managers in the wav of
paying big salaries And il has often
been said that certain members of his
one-time world heaters wanted to eet
away. Mack knew this and acted ac-
cordingly.

Judgments

NE of the most significant
~ things about base ball this
year fs the tendency of the
" minor leagues to pass veteran
rules and issue the call to
youth. The Western league now has
law which compels each team in the
league to carry among its fifteen play
ers six who have never played in
Class A or better. Many other leagues
have followed this suit. The Ma
tional commission has fought these
rulings on the grounds that they are
discriminating legislation, but the
movement persists. The commission
is right after fashion, for these
new rulings do discriminate against
the veteran. But the laws are also
protective. Minor leagues all over
the country have found it imperative
to reduce salary limits as far as pos
sible. 1t is the veteran who draws
larger remuneration for his services
and keeps these salary limits up. Thus
the veteran rule is part of a re-
trenchment policy. In addition the
minor leagues have reached the point
where to exist they must make sales
to the big league clubs and to do this
they must develop the young players.
So while the veteran rule, it must be
admitted, does discriminate against
the older player, it is a protective
measure which must be followed out
II base ball is to continue as The ma
tional pastime.
