BOXING STARS
ENROUTE EAST
VISIT IN OMAHA
frankie Callahan, Contender
for Title, Praises Efforts
of NebraSkanS for
Clean Boxing.

Emil Thirty and two of his cham
pionship contenders, frankie Gala
han of Cleveland and Jock Malone
of St. Paul, stopped off in Omaha
this week, guests of Gene Melady
and other friends. These two prom
ising boxers are in the pink Of con-
dition and say they are ready to take
on all corners.
frankie Callahan will visit at the
Melady home few days before re-
turning to his home in Cleveland.
He has been working hard since his
release from the navy and is plan
ming OH a few weeks complete rest.
He was boxing instructor at the
Great Lakes and later was trans
ferred to New York. While in New
York he appeared in all war bene-
fits and patriotic shows and also
boxed for the benefit of crippled
soldiers and sailors.
Callahan fights in both the feath-
erweight and batamweight divi-
sions with ease and has long been
after Pete Herman's scalp. He is
exceptionally clever and carries a
punch in both hands. He has been
working out with heavier men in
New York and can take lots Of pun
ishment.
frankie is loud in his praise of
Ted Lewis, with whom he has been
living. He was a training partner
for Lewis in his bout with Leonard
and is now planning on accompany
ing him on his trip to Europe this
summer after his release from the
army.
Praises Boxing Bill.
The Cleveland boxer is loud in
his praise of the bill before the Ne
braska legislature legalizing boxing
which he declares is far superior to
the Pennsylvania law that has been
so successful in Philadelphia. The
short round bouts he declares are
the only way to stop prize fighting
and make the sport clean.
frankie could not refrain from
speaking in praise of his friend,
Gene Melady whom he declares the
cleanest sportsman in the world.
Omaha does not seem to appreciate
what a great booster for clean
sports they have" said frankie. an
the east to say that you are friend
of Melady stamps the o. K. on you
at once as they all know he will
not tolerate a man or game that
is not on the square" ..
The contender for Herman's
crown is high in his praise of Oma-
ha and says it will be one of the
greatest cities in the country for
clean sports if the boxing bill is
passed. The Omaha Athletic club,
where he was a guest, he says is one
of the finest for a city the size of
Omaha he has ever seen.

"STOVE LEAGUE"
OUTLINES PLAN
FOR SEMI-PROS
Earl Higgins Gives Composite
of Regulations Preferred
by Members of Class
A Organization.

Omaha sandlot base ball players
are still considering plans for the
organization of semi-pro league in
addition to a "simon-pure" amateur
association. The Class A players
are practically unanimous for semi
pro ball and will probably complete
arrangements in a few weeks.
"Hot Stove League" sessions, pre-
sided over by Earl Higgins, presi-
dent of the Greater Omaha league
last year, in his cigar store at Fiji
teenth and Douglas streets, have adj
vanced many ideas for the conduct
of the proposed league.
After hearing the arguments pro
and con of the different team man
ayers and players Mr.. Higgins out
lines the following plan which APP
parently meets with the most favor.
The plan will probably be submitted
at the first meeting in order to get
definite action started.
A five-club league, presided over
by a president and secretary-treas-
urer, is favored by a majority in dis
cussing a league. The Higgins COM
posite plan calls for one game in
Council Bluffs each Sunday between
league teams. A double-header is on
the Omaha bill for Sundays be-
tween two league teams and league
team and travelling club. One
game is planned for Saturdays and
holidays when the Western league
team is on the road.
Wait Action of Amateurs.
The receipts from games are to
be kept in the league treasury until
the close of the season when they
will be divided among the various
teams. Winners of first and second
places will be granted a larger per-
centage of the receipts.
Rigid rules to prevent contract
jumping are thought advisable and
clubs are TO deposit 500 as forfeit
money. Other minor regulations for
the conduct of the league will have
to be made, but the unity of the
players on these regulations are in
definite.
Teams holding franchises in the
Greater Omaha league are waiting
for the action of the amateur asso-
citation before taking any definite
steps toward organization. If the
present plans of the amateurs to bar
semi-pros are adopted President
Higgins of the Greater Omaha league
will probably cali meeting imme-
diately that an organization may be
perfected
President Higgins announces that
he will take no active part in organ
izing the league further than calling
meeting and if it is desired explain
his composite plan as the various
players have suggesed it to him.

With the Bowlers

AS the last week approaches prior
to the closing entries for the big
International tournament of the
American Bowling Congress, I'M
usual activity is being displayed in
all centers of bowling throughout
the middle west, and the estimate of
final entries seems to be climbing
up to about zoo teams. If this mark
is reached it will be on par with
the high water mark set by Toledo
in 1916, when 756 teams were enter
err, and there is a chance for the
1919 entry to pass the 1916 tourna-
ment, which was a wonderful ath-
letic contest .s...
Small cities are coming in with
additional entries, and this will have
tendency to increase the total
In former years Huntington, w.
Va, had one or two teams, while
this year this hustling river city
will have six teams. Peoria has
increased their anticipated entry
from four to eight teams, and South
Bend comes along with IL entries,
all of which is very encouraging
Quite a few new faces Will be seen
among the bowlers this year when
teams from Pontiac, Mich; Findlay,
o., and other small cities are COM
ing for the first time. When they
attend the tournament once, they
always come back the next year as
the fascination is there for the
bowler. - -...
The entries are we'll over 50 teams
at this time, and the final cleanup
will bring the grand total we'll for
wards, if not over the 700 mark
