BIG CARD BILLED
FOR FIGHT NIGHT
At FORT OMAHA
Denny Ryan Arranges Pro-
gram of 80 Rounds Of Box
ing With Callahan and
KetCheI in Main Event.

Athletic Director Denny Ryan of
, Fort Omaha announces that the ath-
letic program for Fort Omaha Mon
day, December %, is complete. He
has arranged for 80 rounds of box
ing and a battle royal. There will
be three four-round bouts, two six
round bouts and the main event of
10 rounds.
There is considerable rivalry ex-
listing between the Seventeenth and
Twenty-seventh Balloon companies
and Denny has given them two OPP
portunities to settle the question as
to which company has the best box
ers.
First Four Rounder.
Kid Leese of the Seventeenth
and Young Cox of the Twenty
seventh will battle four rounds.
Sinner Of the Twenty-seventh and
Fizenne OF the Seventeenth will also
go four rounds.
Young Erickson of Omaha and
Slugger Bloom of the Twenty-fourth
Balloon company will go on in a
four round bout.
Omaha's coming lightweight
Young Spellman, will try his hand
at Battling Garrison, a newcomer
in this territory, who comes herald
cd as a winner
The semi-hnal will be between
two local bows, who need no intro
duction to Omaha ring fans-Eddie
Gillian, the stock yards pride, and
Paddy Mcmahon, the fighting Irish
man. These boys will go six rounds.
They have had two previous en-
counters that have resulted in being
called draws and each one declares
that he is out to break the tie this
time. Those who have seen them
working out declare they are both
in tiptop shape.
The Main Event.
The final event is l0-round bout
between frankie Callahan of CO.
lumbus,. O., and Eddie ketchel,
New York's sensational feather
weight. Omaha fans have seen Cal
lahan in action several times and
know what to expect of him. He
is one of the fastest men at his
weight that has been seen in this
country for many day and the fact
that he is under the wing of Emil
Thierry, the man who brought out
Packy Mcfarland, is sufficient to in
sure him host of followers. Ketchel
is billed in New York as a vest
pocket addition of the late Stanley
ketchel. He is exceptionally fast and
carries k. o. in either hand. He
has met some OF the best feathers
and lightweights in the east and has
two draws with Johnny Dundee, one
of the few men in the country con-
ceded a chance with Lightweight
Champion Benny Leonard.

JACK LELIvELT
OMAHA MANAGER
FOR NEXT YEAR
Pa Rourke Buys Veteran Ma.
jor League Player From Mil.
Iers to Replace Jackson
In Handling Team.

Chicago, Dec. 1o-Jack Lelivelt,
veteran major league and American
association base ball player, has
been obtained from the Minneapolis
club to manage the Omaha Western
league team next year, Bill Rourke
announced here today. Lelivelt reg
uiarly was 800 hitter in the major
leagues and continued that stride
after foot trouble drove him into the
American association.
Owner "Pa" Rourke signed Leli-
welt to manage the Rourkes for the
season of 1920 on Thursday, pro-
viding the other seven clubs in the
American association would grant
waivers on him. The waivers were
granted Friday and Lelivelt became
the property of the Omaha ball club.
Professional Ten Years.
The local magnate has made a
ten-strike in securing the services of
Lelivelt, who has been playing pro-
fessional bali for 10 years. He
started in the old International
league and went to Washington in
the American league, going to
Cleveland in a trade. An injury to
his leg forced him back to the Amer
lean association. He has played in
the latter loop for the past FIVE
years.
During all his time in professional
base ball Lelivelt has failed but once
in hitting over the 800 mark. In
1917, while with Louisville in the
American association, he fell short
but two points, batting for .2o8. He
was in the international league but
one year, with Washington two
years, Cleveland two years, Kansas
City two years, Louisville two years
and Minneapolis one year.
Bought Burke Outright.
With Lelivelt "Pa" Rourke bought
Bill Weidell, the snappy shortstop
of the Miller's crew, and Sandy
Burke, who pitched a number of
games for the locals in 1919. Sandy
was sold to Omaha last year with
an optional string on him. Rourke
that he has bought him
outright for the coming season.
In adding these three players to
his roster and holding some sof the
stars of last years Rourkes, the To-
cal owner should have we'll bal
anced club in the field to open the
1920 season.

PAL MOORE ASKS
that WILDE Be
DELAYED IN U. s.
Anxious That English PugiIist
Be in New York When He
Gets Back From
England.
BY JACK VEIOCh.
international News sporting Editor.


New York, Dec. lo.-Little Jimmy
Wilde went pine for action while on
this side of the pond if he listens to
the mutterings of Pal Moore, Joey
Lynch, frankie Burns and others.
Pete Herman. being the champ, is
not demanding a match with Wilde,
but there is little doubt in the minds
of those who know Herman that he
expects to measure wallops with the
little Englishman before Jimmy
boards sea-going hack for home.
None of the American crop Of BAN
ties, with the exception of Moore and
Lynch, know anything about Wilde
except hcarsay, but they are all will
ing to learn from actual contact.
Many OF them, no doubt. will be sad
der but wiser after they meet Wilde
for we understand Jimmy really
means to do some regular CAM
paigning and dough-reaping on this
side.
Moore, of the whole shebang, is
the most eager. Pal says that having
met Jimmy twice in his own back
yard and come away once with the
losers end of the decision he is
tickled to death to have Wilde on
this side, and he implores everyone
to do all they can to keep Jimmy
until he, Moore, can get another
crack at the Briton.
Meanwhile, Pal has crossed the
pond to meet Charley Ledoux.
81 must say that l am some in
terested in Wilde" said Moore re-
Gently, more so than ever, perhaps,
because of his arrival in America.
On two occasions ! made the trip
to London for the purpose of play
ing in his back yard and like good
kid l didn't get mad when I got
the worst of it, and it now gives me
pleasure to welcome him to my
back yard and l hope l will have
the pleasure of entertaining him be-
fore his return to England.
