Theatrical Magnate
Picks Dempsey to Win
Big July. 9TH Battle

Nothing can stop Jack Dempsey
from being the next heavyweight
champion" declares Barney Gerard,
whose show, 1.-THE Follies of the
Day." is now appearing at the
Gayety, in conversation with sew
eral Omaha friends last evening.
So sure is Gerard of that that he
has placed Dempsey under contract
to manage all of his exhibitions and
theatrical appearances, guarantee
ing to Dempsey the sum of $4,000
for stated period. In addition to
that Gerard paid Dempsey $4,000
for half interest in the pugilist's
earnings for the next two years. This
means that Gerard figures on Demp-
sey making at least 100000 in that
time.
1t was Gerard who exploited Bat
thing Nelson when very few had
ever heard of the. Durable Dane. He
placed him with his "The Ameri-
cans" and through his boosting and
publicity got Nelson into the bout
with Cans which won for the former
the coveted title. Gerard also han
died all of Jack Johnson's exhibi-
tons when that gladitor first appear
ed on the pugilistic horizon.

Zbyszko won the. worlds heavy
weight wrestling championship by
defeating Ed. (Strangler) Lewis OF
Lexington, KY, in one hour, "a minis
utes and SO seconds at Madison
Square Garden tonight. He threw
Lewis with body hold after squirnl-
ms out of "a head lock which Lewis
had held for nearly minute and a
half.
After the men had been wrestling
one hour and half Lewis secured
one of his famous headlocks which
he held for one minute and hall.
When Zbyszko broke away he
staggered against the ropes and was
very groggy.
Lewis made flying leap for an
other deadlock with which he threw
Zbyszko again to the mat, Zbyszko
by sheer strength Strengthened up
and got body hold, forcing Lewis
to the mat where he pinned his
shoulders for the winning fall.
At one stage Zbyszko got toe
hold from which Lewis struggled
in great agony. Both men were in
good physical condition and the
wrestling all through was scientific
and clean. ts

Lichenstein Claims
Metric Is the Coming
Lightweight Champion

Chicago. ILL.,, March 21.-(Special.)
A second Wolgast, is the rating
given Charley Metric, Larney Lich-
enstein's 1870 FOUNDER, who has been
forging rapidly to the front and CIV
ing the lightweights merry even
ing when they climb through the
ropes with him. Metric, who has
just reached his majority, is the
rushing, boring in type, two-fisted
warrior, who enjoys nothing better
than an opportunity to trade wallops
at close range. He's rated as the
toughest bird in the lightweight divi-
sion today.
That other men in his class have
a good opinion of him was evidenced
recently when Harvey Thorpe refus-
ed to meet him in Detroit ring,
giving as his excuse, that Metric
was to tough boy to take on four
days in advance of a bout with
Charlie White" Manager Lichen-
stein is taking Metric along slowly,
grooming him for the top. Just the
same, neither Metric or his manager
fears anything from any of the pres
ent day lightweights. There's not
man in the division that can knock
him off his pins" says Larney. The
prediction here is that Lichenstein
has the coming lightweight cham
pion in his stable.

Sport Shorts
BY KID GRAVES.

Well, the Iowa legislature didn't
prove as red-blooded as the real
sport fans thought it would be.
They took another thump at the
poor old boxing game and defeated
the measure 40 to 50. The Iowa So
Ions are a long way from being as
thoughtful of the general public
pleasures as are those of Nevada
Out there, they pass a bill, and if
the governor vetoes it, they slam it
through over his head. Looks like
fellow that wants any real sport
will have to go further west.
There is still a week left for the
Nebraska lawmakers to get together
on the boxing bill in this state. 1t
will have to be voted on this week
or shelved for another two years.
Looks like they want to make GER
tain that no one can put the gloves
or. in this state. Oh! What would
we give if the boxing bill was put
to a popular vote. The people of this
little space on the map would GER
tainly put it over with bang.
~
A local theatrical man advertises
that he wants women, his reason
is given for attendance at his show
-rformances. 1t looks like we want
them too, for the women seem to
have a better idea of what is wanted
in the way of state laws than most
of the men do. Out in Idaho, the
women have seats among the law
makers and they voted for the pass
age of boxing bill. The oppo-
nehts of the bill out there were all
men, but the bill was put over, and
the limit is 20 rounds at that.
Monday night, at Cedar Rapids,
Ia, Jack Finn of Belmont, Ia, will
get a chance at the welterweight
wrestling title. He will go against
Jack Reynolds, the welterweight
champion in a finish match, best two
out of three falls. Two nights later,
he will come to Council Bluffs and
meet the featherweight champion,
Vernon Breedlove, in another finish
match. He will meet Reynolds at
AS pounds, catchweights for him
and Wednesday night he will weigh
in under 1870 pound, for the Council
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-03-22

P..uffs show. 1t is seldom that an
athlete in any line gets a chance to
meet two champions inside of a
week. Finn will be giving away
considerable weight to Reynolds,
but he figures to have good
chance, at that, for he has beaten
the welter champion in a finish
match, before Reynolds held the
title, and he thinks he can repeat.
Tie title will not be involved when
he goes against the feather cham
pion.
The Comeback" bug has bitten
Joe Rivers again. He will make an
other attempt to regain pugilistic
laurels in a match with Richie Nit
chell at Milwaukee April 4. Rivers
was secured to meet Mitchell when
it was found that Johnny Dundee
would not be able to meet the Mil
waukee lightweight on that date.
Dundee will be signed up for date
a short time after the Rivers bout.
The new welterweight boxing
champion is starting out in good
form. Instead of the usual stalling
for rest before he risks his title,
Jack Britton will meet Willie
Laughlin, the Bethlehem (Pa.) star,
in a 10-round scrap within a week
Britton, when he was champion be-
fore Ted Lewis, to whom he lost
the title, proved a real fighting
champion and popular one for
that reason. He took them all on
as fast as the bouts were offered
him. In fact, took them on too fast.
That's how he lost to Lewis. He
took the Britisher on before he had
had sufficient rest between bouts
and did not have his usual pep"
He proved that he was always bet
ter man than Lewis by trimming
him all the way in their Canton,
CO., bout and then finally landing
the "crusher" that put Lewis to
sleep for more than the required
10 seconds. Fans, who knew them
both, have been predicting that Jack
would flatten Lewis every time they
met, but for some reason or other
Britton was never able to make
good until they met in the Ohio
mill.

Western League Notes

Owner Pa Rourke and Manager
Bill Jackson are in the running with
the Omaha club, claiming a team
of pennant winners, too. Having
completed deals that will give them
two young infelders and a southpaw
pitcher and the acquisition by other
means of several good ball players,
the Rourkes stand a corking good
chance of gathering. In the past
the Omaha club has made several
good players out of sandlot pickups,
and it is possible that it will be done
again this year, for Jackson has
been making inquiries about Wees
Corcoran, the star hot corner guard
ian for the Armour Ball club. If
Bill doesn't make connections with
Corcoran he has an inhelder he is
pretty sweet on in Pat Mason, the
Kansas City youngster, who played
only game or two with the Oma-
ha club last year.
What season this should be for
the Western league Nearly all the
soldier players will be discharged in
time to get into the game before the
season is very old, and each team in
the loop has a bunch of new players
the fans are banking on to make
good, and the fans of every burg on
the circuit are claiming a pennant
for the club. The old hot stove
league is working overtime and the
stands at all the opening games will
probably be crowded to the gates.
