JACKSON Makes
DEALS KRUG AND
O'TOOLE TRADED
Omaha Manager Gets Two
InfielderS for Former Leader
and SOuthpaW Pitcher
Replaces Local HEAVIER.

Manager Bill Jackson reports
that the deals with the Salt Lake
City and. the San Antonio clubs have
gone through. Krgg goes to Salt
Lake in exchange for two infielders,
Harry Daubert, a shortstop and Gis-
Jason. second basemen. Daubert
has been a star in the coast league
and Gislason one OF the shining
lights of the Northwestern and coast
leagues.
The Krug deal assures Jackson of
two crack infielders and he has also
traded Marty O'Toole to San An
tonic for a southpay finger named
Townsend, who has several years
class A experience and whom Bill
thinks will prove valuable asset to
the Rourkes.j Besides these deals,
the manager thinks he can get
free agent infielder, now in the
U. S. army aviation service, but who
expects to be discharged before
long This players name will not be
divulged until Jackson has chance
to sign him up. N
Trading O'Toole for Townsend
will put a new face on the mound
for the Omaha club and makes Ut
certain that the locals will have at
least four pitchers. Contracts have
already been turned in by Manske,
the Council Bluffs finger, and

self at the initial sack, it looks like
the Kansas City player, Mason, that
the manager and Pa Rourke think
so we'll of, will have TO handle them
at the hot corner. The infield may
be torn up some and the new players
broke into other places for Jackson
says he is going to be very careful
in placing his men, as he wants re-
suits right from the jump. He has
been looking up the work of local
semi-pro third baseman and it may
be that he will sign him for that
sack before the season opens.
Nothing has been said to the player,
but it may be that the Armours will
have to hunt new hot corner guar
dian before they open their season.
Manager Bill has heard that the
semi-pro fans are very sweet on
Corcoran's playing and he may want
to try him on the Western league
team. Wee can field the position
well enough, but may fall a little
short on the batting. T

Under the caption, Stupid Gus
tom at Boxing Club Should be~Abol-
ished," Billy Recap, sporting editor
of The Philadelphia Ledger writes
the following article "One boxing
club in Philadelphia has adopted
unique system; in fact so far as the
writer knows, it is the only arena in
the country which allows a whistle
to be blown 10 seconds before the
ending of round. There have been
numerous protests against the prac-
tice used at the Olympia, because
several visiting boxers have narrow
ly escaped a knockout, thinking the
round was over. The management
has been deaf to the protests. In
fact they have stubborniy refused
10 correct the evil. So the public
must pay out the rope and the smart
managers will hang themselves. If
fatality occurs as a result of their
stupidity, they will be morally and
legally guilty.

The new Municipal amateur bass
ball league will hold a mass meeting
Friday night at the City hall for
general discussion Of the plans for
organization OF the teams into the
league. Secretary Isaacsou, city re.
creation director, requests all anna
teur team managers to be present al
this meeting and offer suggestions ii
they have any, for the benefit Of the
amateur game in Omaha.
The newly elected president OF the
Municipal league, Al Scott, will be
at the Friday meeting. Scott has
number of ideas that he and other
officers of the organization believe
might win be incorporated in the
bylaws and they want the players
and managers to hear them and dis
cuss them. Scott was selected as
the president of the league because
he is known as an active amateur
base ball supporter and It is not
thought that he will be merely a
figurehead. ".4
The rules and regulations of the
organization will have a thorough
going over at the mass meeting so
that everyone will understand just
what rules he will be playing under
and must abide by. When the by
laws are completed they will be put
in the hands Of the printers and the
manager of every team in the league

and recommended the passage of the
bill legalizing boxing in Iowa, last
week. Thesbill is copy Of the Ne
braska boxing bill with a change in
the number Of rounds, calling for 10
instead of six sessions. Omaha box
ing fans will be able to See scraps
in the Bluffs, even il the Melady
bill doesn't get through the Nebras-

men say there is little doubt but
that the bill will pass over there.

so well, that upon the resignation of

that Freberg's showing doesn't scare
him a little bit, that he could do bet
ter than that if he were matched
with Lewis. He radiates confidence
and the bout looks like one of the
old-fashioned scrappy sort OF

that Ecklund is really one of the
best men in the game. He lacks just
enough weight to put him in the
ranks of the heavyweight title con-
tenders, but it doesn't worry Clar-
ence a great deal. He seems to be
we'll satisfied with the title he al
ready holds. At that, sometimes, he
steps out of his class and takes on
a real heavyweight. All in all, the
card for the 21st should be a grand
wrestling event.
Seats for the show were placed
on sale Friday. The affair will be
a popular priced affair, no seat SELL

side seats will sell at this price. The
every day wrestling fan without a
