Trap Gun Load Change
Urged by Association
as Economic Measure

Scattergun experts who have had
a favorite load with which they de-
molish the elusive blue rock will
grieve to hear that in the near fu-
ture the American Trapshooting
association will urge the adoption
of standard load to be used by all
shooters in registered tournaments.
This will consist of three drains of
powder and an ounce and an eighth
of shot instead of the customary
ounce and quarter.
Economy is primarily the object
of this Standardization, to eliminate
the necessity of making several diff
ferent varieties of shells and also
equalize conditions for all. The re-
duction in the amount of shot used
will be recommended since it will
be cheaper and cause less recoil
than the heavier load, thereby max
ing conditions easier for the novice.
While there will necessarily be
considerable opposition to this de-
parture by persons who have be-
come accustomed to certain loads
it is thought that on the whole, trap
shooters will recognize that there is
no reason why there should not be
uniform load just as there is a
standard golf ball or base ball.

Texas Oil Man Wires
Lauding Boxing Bill

Boxing fans from far off Texas
are interested in the passage of the
Melady boxing bill. Gene Melady
received a telegram this morning
from Tommy Cannon, of Wichita
Falls, Tex, a prominent Lone Star
State sportsman and wealthy oil
magnate. The telegram was as fol-
lows: Gene Melady, Notice Kan
sas City Post article about your box
ing bill. If they entrust boxing to
100 per cent square promoters like
yourself they will have some classy
boxing sport in Nebraska that will
be a credit to the state"
The Nebraska legislature will have
to pass the Melady bill in its pres
ent form pretty soon or there won't
be any Melady bill left. If Barney
Green and a few others that would
like to, get to making amendments
to the present measure, they will
ruin the chances for the passage Of
the bill. The army and navy
officials at Washington have issued
a statement commencing boxing
throughout the United States. Our
soldier and sailor boys are going to
demand some such sport when they
get back home.

LITTLE Maps"
power MAY SOON
RIVAL CAR BAN
]. J. MCGraw Has Only Self to
Thank for His Continued
Success in Base
Ball Affairs.
By JACK vEIoCK.

New York, Feb. l5.-John Joseph
McGraw is getting to be regular
power in base ball.
After years of hard plugging,
from the time he broke in with the
Olean, N. Y, Independents until
the present day, McGraw has never
once let the fires of his ambition
to be one of base balls biggest men
die down. And HIS constant plug
ging and initiative have won results.
Back in the days If his green
youth when he first donned base
ball spikes, McGraw was glad to
get a few dollars 4 game for play
ing ball once or twice a week.
Today, as vice president and man
ager, as we'll as part owner, of the
New York Giants, he is drawing
down an annual stipend that flirts
around $4,000, and all the while he
is laying lines to make himself more
powerful and more successful in
the National league.
Charles Stoneman, the new presi-
dent and principal stoekholder in
the Giants, is a personal pal of
McGraw's. And it was through
McGraw and Stoneman that George
Washington Grant became the own
er of the Boston Braves. The wags
say that Grant is merely a figure
head, representing Stoneman inter-
ests, but this has been denied.
Be that as it may, the McGraw
machine in the National league is
getting up speed, and some of these
days Ban Johnson, now admitted to
be the unquestioned car of the ma
tional pastime, will find himself con-
fronted by Little Napoleon of the
Giants, with all kinds of power to
fight for base ball legislation and
base ball reforms.
McGraw has himself alone to
thank for the position he occupies
in base ball, though it is something
of a cinch that he must have some
sort of lucky star or something, be-
cause his rise has been so rapid and
he has been the one-chosen above
many others-guiding spirit of the
most powerful ball club in either
big league.
After the present year it will not
be surprising to see McGraw step
down and out as a manager, though
he will, of course, continue to di-
rect the affairs of The Giants from
the business helm. If he can win
one more pennant with his Polo
Grounders he will be content to let
his managerial record stand.

Winner Over Steve Savage
Has Notion He Will
Challenge Winner of
SteCher-Zyb Go.

Wearing a smile like unto the
storied grin that could not be eff
faced, John Pesek, conquerer of
Steve Savage, announced that he
would leave Sunday morning for
Sioux City, Ia, to take in" the
Stecher-Zbyszko match to be held
in that city Monday evening and
probably challenge the winner. Pes
elk will be accompanied by his man
ager, Mart Slatterly, and his wrest-
ling mate, Clarence Ecklund.
Before leaving the arena Friday
night, Ecklund made the announce
ment that he would like to wrestle
Joe Stangl, the winner of the semi
windup match at the Auditorium,
and will wager 5000 on the side.
Failing to land a match with Stangl
Ecklund will take on any light
heavyweight wrestler in the coun-
try.

SteCher Meets ZbySzkO at
Sioux City Tomorrow Night

Joe Stecher beat Jack Bucksen
of Chicago in two falls at St. Louis
Friday night, and Saturday left for
Sioux City where he takes on VIA
dek Zbysxko in finish match. If
Stecher wins and Earl Caddock
really intends to retire from the
wrestling game, Joe will claim the
championship and prepare to de-
fend it against all corners.
With Caddock retired the winner
Of Stecher-Zbyszko match would
be the logical champion and prob
ably be recognized as such. In that
event it is likely that the winner of
tomorrow nights match in Sioux
City will be called upon to wrestle
Pesek at an early date for the cham
pionship.
The Sioux City promoters are ex-
pecting delegation Of Omaha fans
ITO witness the match and Gene Me-
lady will probably head one party
to 60 over. Melady's interest is man
fest because Of his being the mana
ger of Earl Caddock. If Caddock
retires Gene will want to see the
browning of a new champion and if
Earl remains in the game Gene will
want to see the .probable opponent
of his champion.

Willie Hoppe, Present Champion, to Play Exhibition
Match Game Against Former Champion, George
Sutton. Both Master Cue Artists.

Arrangements have been made
for Willie Hoppe to stop off in
Omaha for a day during his tour of
the country and play match game
with the former champion, George
Sutton, on March /. In fact, Hoppe
and Sutton will play two games, one
at 3 p. m. and the other at 8 p. m.
The games will be played at the
New Omaha Athletic club. The o.
A. c. harbors a number of billiard
enthusiasts and it is expected that
quite a number of them will be
present to witness the exhibition.
The exhibition will be one between
two masters of the art, Sutton hav-
ing been one of the greatest play
ers of the game ever known and who
would probably be the champion if
it wasn't for Hoppe. The latter is
considered the greatest player of
billiards in the world, and his man
ager, R. B, Benjamin, declares Will
lie is improving daily.
There is no athlete in the world
that takes better care of himself
than does Willie Hoppe. He trains
only on Athe billiard tables with a
course of calisthenics before going
to bed to keep down any excess
weight, goes to bed early and rises
early, and then plays about eight
hours of billiards every day. Hoppe
likes golf and base ball, but cannot
indulge in either game, for he finds
that handling a golf club or base
ball bat is entirely different from
handling billiard cue and destroys
the deliberate touch necessary to a
successful billiard player. Hoppe
has had his hands insured for $780,
600 apiece and never takes a chance

. BEATS CENTRAL
INFAST BATTLE
Team from Capital 0utCIasSes
Local Quintet; Victory PraC-
tiCaIIy Assures State
Championship Title.
Lincoln, 20, Central High. 10.

Playing wonderful game and
completely outclassing their OPP
ponents Lincoln Highs basket ball
team smothered Central High, 26
to 10, in a one sided game played on
the Creighton floor last night.
Spapers, Lincoln's lanky right for
ward, was the star of the fray, shoot
ing five field goals with ease and
scoring on four out of six fouls.
The Lincolnites, towering above the
locals, had things their own way
during most of the game despite the
fine team work exhibited by Coach
Mulligan's men.
Central Weakens.
The Purple and White fippers
played a neat game, and during the
first few minutes of play seemed
easy vietors, playing rings around
their opponents. When Shapers,
for only the second time during the
game, got chance at the basket he
registered the initial counters. Cen
trails defense seemed to weaken,
then, allowing several scores.
Konecky, Burnham and Clements
made Centrals only score during the
first period within a few minutes.
Hopes of the Central supporters
fell when the Lincolnites initiated
a drive on the basket concluding it
when the half ended, IA to g, in
their favor.
Second Half Slow.
The second half was unexciting
save for the few times when a score
appeared possible. Lincoln kept the
bail down on its end of the floor
most of the period and made several
pretty baskets from difficult angles.
Possibility of victory disappeared
when Captain Art Logan sprained
his knee. Despite his injury, he
played until the final whistle blew.
The victory practically assures
Lincoln the state title.

The Holland faction had called
their candidate, John Savage, for
mer owner of the Joplin club, to
this city in expectation of winning
the election, but when Savage with
drew, the magnates made Tearney's
election unanimous. Savage was
the only other candidate for the
place.
A schedule committee, composed
of E. ]. Hanlon, Jack Holland and
Frank Isbell, has been named, but
cannot act until the magnates take
action on the opening game and
the number of games to be played.
Friction between the magnates from
the northern towns and those from
Nhe southern towns early in the
meeting prevented the naming of an
opening date. The Southern league
towns favor April % and the North
ern league towns favor May /.
A schedule of $40 games will pass
as soon as an opening date is de-
cided upon. f. ]. Hanlon took up
with Mayor Whitsell of St. Joseph
