AS PRESIDENT OF
WESTERN LEAGUE

Too Long, According to
Statements Of Rourke
and HanIon.

Chicago, March 29.-Plans for
operating independently OF the
major leagues were completed by a
committee representing the National
Association of Minor Leagues at a
meeting here today. John H. Far
rell of Auburn, N. Y, secretary of
the National association; Thomas J.
Hickey president of the American
association, and A. r. Tearney,
president Of the Three I and West
tern leagues, were named as = COM
mittee to meet with the national
commission if necessary to perfect
: formal agreement.
The presidency of the Western
league will likely be retained by Mr..
Tearney, despite the protest of z.
M. Dickerson, who held the Office
when the league suspended last sea-
son.
William Rourke, owner Of The
Omaha club, and Edward J. Han
lon, owner of the St. Joseph, Mo-,
franchise, said that Dickerson had
given the club owners no assurance
when he expected to return from
France; that two meetings had been
adjourned pending definite word
from Dickerson and then because of
the lateness of the season it be-
came necessary to elect a president
to administer the affairs Ut the
league.

Jack, however, proved too good for
the Pueblo fireman and put him
away in five rounds. Dempsey then
opened up on the Pacific coast by
knocking out AL Norton in one
round at Frisco. Morton is now
boxing in the A. E. F. Willie Nee
han in his go secured a draw in
four rounds.
Then Dempsey again invaded New
York, with great success this time.
He knocked out Carl Morris in five
rounds, beat Coffey, Cowler, Smith.
He soon secured the right to fight
with Fred Fulton, the leading heavy
weight at that time. Later in a
bout in Jersey City Jack slipped over
the K. 0. on Rochester Freddie in
just twenty seconds. This was one
OF the shortest bouts on record.
The war ended, Willard has con-
sented to defend his title, so Richard
matched him with Dempsey on the
Fourth of July for one of the big
gest guarantees ever put up. 1t
should be some bout.

who ran an athletic club. This
friend, Arthur Downing, induced
Jack to try out with the gloves.
The Celtic love for !igltirg was
only natural in Dempsey, so he
started his career by milling it for

Local base ball fans regard Err,
ME Holmes statement that he
won't be, the hacker of any bal
team this year as his usual pre-
season bunk" Some of them say
that Ernie has said the same thing
in the spring for the last FIVE years
but when the game gets going a
Holmes team is on the field and
will be out again this year.
The Council Bluffs wrestling pro-
moter, Al Fiori, tries to show his
patrons a real enjoyable evening
when they attend the shows at the
Bluffs auditorium. Besides the us
ual star attractions on the mat, All
has Brewers jazz orchestra at ev-
cry show, and they enliven things
with some of the latest jazz music
before the first bout and between
bouts. The fans are loud in their
applause after each selection.
The next big match at Council
Bluffs will be between Barney Bur-
nam, the local pride, and Charley
Pesek, a brother of the noted heavy
wrestler, John Pesek. The men
will meet in finish match, best two
out of three falls, on March 9. Jack
Hanley of Portsmouth, Ia.,, will
challenge the winner. Pesek is said
to be. as good a middleweight as
John is heavyweight, so the bout
should prove corking good one.
Burnam is strong, tricky mat art
ist and his friends believe he can
beat any middleweight wrestler in
the business.
While a number of the amateur
bali teams are already arranging
their practice games, the local semi
pros are not altogether idle. The
Armour players are beginning to
get some of the kinks out of their
arms and loosen up their legs. Old
and new balls, bats and gloves have
made their appearance on the old
Armour ball lot quite often lately.
No date has been set yet for the
three-cushion billiard tourney at
Ernie. Holmes parlors, but Ernie
says he is working On it and will
have the details all arranged within
few days. In the meantime a
number of the local sharks are prac-
ticing their long runs and fancy
shots.
The Rourke's ball yard will be an
almost new field when the season
opens. The groundkeeper is resod-
ding the inheld. When he gets it
all laid out and holled down hard
the space between the base lines
will be as fine as any big league
park in the country, he tells Man
ager Jackson.
On April II the Omaha Western
League club will play its first prac-
tice game against the Armours Ball
club. This will be a strictly home
affair, as the Armours will play oil
the Rourke's yard when the
leaguers are travelling.

Regulars File Objections to
Signatures-New Indepen-
dent Slate Prepared.

On behalf of the regular Democratic
organization in Brooklyn, led by John
II. McCooey, Algernon l.. Nova, a law
ser, filed yesterday with the Board of
Elections a formal objection attacking
the validity of the signatures to the
primary petitions of the Insurgents"
who have placed a full county ticket in
nomination in opposition to the ticket
named by the regulars. Mr.. Nova stated
that he would be able to prove enough
of the signatures illegal to reduce the list
to less than the 1000 required by law.
This action was taken by some as an
indication that Mr.. McCooey regards the
insurgent movement more seriously than
when II started several weeks ago. 1t
was believed that a report that Edward
T. O'Loughlin, formerly Registrar and
leader of the Hearst forces in Brooklyn,
had been induced to take the nomination
for Sheriff on the insurgent ticket. re-
placing Thomas f. Willmott. had caused
the action of the regulars. Mr.. O'Lough-

for Mr.. McCooey since he failed to get
