great credit. Sudenberg is the man
whom Jack Dempsey, the heavy
weight champion Of the world, de-
clares gave him his hardest battles.
Sudenberg met Dempsey twice, once
in 10-round mill and the second
time over 20-round route. Though
hoored several times early i'll the
first bout, Johnny came back strong
and dropped Dempsey couple of
times, earning a good draw. The
second bout was an even affair all
the way, first one and then the other
going to the mat, but Dempsey
landed on the chin for. knock
down in final round and this one
knockdown induced the referee to
decide Dempsey the winner. The
champion admits now, that it should
have been a draw at least.
Promoter Fiori has made a 10

the December IL show. Friends of
the boxers and followers of the game
will probably be there in force to
see the show. 1t is good one and
deserves the patronage of every
lover of sports in the midwest.
Uvick and Sudenberg are probably
the best middleweights in this Sec
ton, and the winner will be pre-
pared to defend the midwest middle
weight championship. The referees
will render decisions in each box
ing event.
Tickets for the show will be placed
on sale Monday afternoon at several
sport headquarters in Omaha and
Council Bluffs. The prices will be
81, 81 and So. These are popular
prices and judging from the class
of the show, the admission charges
are low.

Southern Base Ball
Magnates In Row On
Ownership Of Pitchers

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 2o.-There is
going to be a great shake-up in the
Southern Base Ball association, if
indications amount to very much.
The whole trouble is due to split
between Charley Frank, president of
the Atlanta club, and John D. Lo-
gan, the Mobile chief, and a feud of
long standing between Frank and
Jules Heinemann, president of the
New Orleans team.
Franks trouble with Logan was
caused by the refusal of the latter to
give up Keller Hasty, a, promising
young pitcher, loaned to Mobile ear
ly in the season. 1t was by gen.
tleman's agreement with the Mobile
secretary that Frank let Hasty go,
with the promise that when Frank
called for Hasty's return he would
be sent back. But Charley Colsson,
the Mobile secretary, resigned in
mid-season, and later when Frank
called for the pitcher, President -o-
gan said his signature was not on
the deal and that that gave him the
right to keep Hasty, who had devel-
cped into a very good moundman.
Frank, who has much influence in
the league, declares Logan must go,
while the latter says he'll stick and
Heinemann is taking sides with Lo-
gan and threatens to help the Mo-
bile boss run Frank out Of the
league.
1t is a pretty middle, but the fact
remains that Frank won out for
Pitcher Hasty. The Atlanta chief
tain sold the young slabman to
Connie Mack and Hasty reported
during the season just closed.

six-game total of 1880 to work on

In the second squad the crack

Sunday another flock of outside

will also roll their doubles and
