duel in the first game, which was
broken by Brooklyn in the tenth
inning when Griffith singled with
runners on second and third. Bos-

As rule keeping week ahead
of the Jack Dempsey athletic carni-
val as the advance business man
ager of the show, Billy Mccartney,
manager of Luther Mccarthy, when
the foremost white hope" of that
time was killed in bout at Calgary,
Canada, with Arthur Pelky, has
been in town for a couple of days,
visiting old friends and looking the
Gate city over. Billy is as enthus-
iastic over Dempsey as he was over
Nc arthy and those that knew Lutte
and Billy will know what that
means.
The Dempsey carnival will show
at the auditorium Thursday night
and Mccartney has booked number
of events in conjunction with the
heavyweight ehallenger's appear
ance to create some local interest
Three wrestling bouts will precede
Dempsey's exhibition, introducing
Oishi, the Japanese wrestler, against
Ludecke, the champion of Central
America. Jess Queen and Tom Ray,
the local celebrities of the mat
world will wrestle and Charlie Pet
ers will go on with the Italian troop
er, Gardini, who has been having
such wonderful success with the
carnival. Each wrestling match will
be for one fall or to 80 minutes.
Harry Williams VS. Dempsey.
Some local interest will be arous-
ed in the main event of the pro-
gram with Jack Dempsey matched
to box Jess Willard for the heavy
weight championship of the world
on July 4, next, boxing a three
round exhibition with Harry Will
Hams, Omaha's new candidate for
heavyweight boxing honors. Will
liams only recently took up the box
ing game and has shown great
promise. He was formerly West
ern and American league base ball
player and is now employed in the
South Side stockyards, playing
Semi-prO ball with the Armour base
Ball club.
Following the exhibition with
Williams, Dempsey will box three
rounds with John Lester Johnson,
the giant negro heavyweight, who
outpointed Jack in his second ap-
pearance in New York City, almost
causing that white boy to give up
the game. Johnson will give the To-
cal fans an idea of what may be ex-
pected of the challenger, for he is
six felt four inches in height, and
weighs 230 pounds. The three rounds
with John Lester will conclude the
program.

New Faces Among Semi Pros.
The Semi-pros will have a couple
of new faces in their lineup today,
but the position of the players will
not be greatly changed. Jimmy
Collins will get chance to play in
the outfield today and Hirsch, a new
HEAVIER, will throw an inning or two.
The packers batting order will
probably be the same as in last
weeks game, with Manager Harry
Williams in the cleanup spot, though
he failed to clean in the other game.
Dygert will again be the lead-off
man, with AL. Graves following to

paths. If AL. connects, Dygert will
have to travel or be run over.

the players seen, on the field will
constitute the Omaha club for the
beginning of the season. About the
middle of May, Brooks Hale will
join them and later in the month or
the early part of June, Pat Mason
will complete his studies and join
the club. 1t may be that Pa

up and the promoter, Al. Fiori, as
sures us that one of the best shows
of the season will be on tap Tues

non Breedlove, featherweight cham
pion, and challenger Walter Smith
of Grand Island have reported to
Fiori in fine condition and willwork
lightly from now until bell time,
just to keep on edge.
Everone around these parts knows
Breedlove, but only a few of them
are acquainted with Smiths record.
He has been wrestling for nine years
seven years as professional and
two as an amateur. AS an amateur,
he represented the Anselmo A. c.
of Anselmo, Neb., and won the state
title of Nebraska at los pounds. In
a foot race, he won third place and
was given Is cents as a prize and
was barred from further competi-
ton as an amateur.
Wins Championship.
As professional wrestler, he won
the 117-pound championship of the
middle west and held it until he
Joined the army in November, 1917.
He took on weight in the service
and won the 125-pound champion
ship of the southern division of the
u. S. army weighing only 119
pounds. He then won the 125-pound

Isles at Glasgow, Scotland, in the
inter-allied athletic meet, before
100000 people at Celtic park. one of
the greatest athletic amphitheaters
in the world.
Since he was discharged, Decem-
Der 20, 1918, Smith has had no &C
tual contests, but has been instruct
ing and training amateur wrestlers.
The match with Breedlove will be
his first bout since he returned from
overseas duty.
Through misunderstanding, two
men were secured to 60 on with
Young Gotch in the semi-final bout
Denny Moore of Omaha and Jim
Gorgan of Minden, Ia, were both
booked, but as the Minden weller
was the first one signed, he will go
on with Gotch and Moore will be
signed to meet the winner at the
next show. The Gorgan-Gotch
match will be a best two out of
three falls match to a finish.
In the preliminaries, two amateur
wrestlers of Council Bluffs will go
on to settle the supremacy of the
Bluffs amateur middleweight divi-
sion. These fellows will still re-
main amateurs as they have refused
a proffer of money for the bout,
to retain their amateur
standing. Theirs will be a one-fafl
finish match. Denny. Ryan will
referee the main event.

Trap Shooters Will
Organize New Amateur
National Association

New York, April 1o.-Several of
the most prominent amateur trap
shooters in the United States, who
will take part in the Victory week
tournament over the traps of the
New York Athletic club at Travers
Island from April % to May 2, in
tend to organize a new national
amateur association during that
week. 1t is to be known at the
Amateur Clay Target Shooting as
ISOLATION of America and will un-
certake complete jurisdiction over
all amateur events.
After arrangements have been
made for the club and individual
membership the association will
officially issue sanctions and give
recognition to all club and league
fixtures
1t is believed that under the new
regime higher standard will be set
for those events, and it will be pos
sible to compile official averages
for practically all the amateur trap
shooters in the country.

When the Forces
Get Tangled

If these things are true it is easy to see
that a man who holds both Of these forces
within him, the drive of the blend and of
the brunette, in ffty-ffty measure may
be able to adapt himself to the two fields
of endeavor natural to both types Never
theless, he may not expect to succeed in COM
petition with man who holds q higher rat
ing in the possession of either force Indeed
this fifty-ffty man may be failure, for the
reason that one force in him obliges him to
quit often in obedience to the other The
square peg and the round peg lose time in
adjusting themselves to the holes that suit
them.
To come back to Professor Holt, it
seems to me that his eight graduates do
do something, and not, as he contends,
"nothing at all" But what about the two
men in the ten of his own figures? Why
do they go with their professions and
succeed? The answer is not in the blanket
conclusion that Professor Holt reaches
"the pocketb There are MANY men
in this world, happy and contented with
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-02-02

a mere daily pocketbook livelihood, who
would not exchange their daily labor for
any price in money. 1t seems to me that
Professor Holt more nearly touches the
nub of the matter when he speaks of
man having an "avocation," or some oc-
cupation which calls him away from his
regular occupation.
Let me mention one thing of rather
tragic nature. We see it constantly in
the study of facial shape and color. 1t
is the tragedy of the uneducated person
who is brunette to the extent of 80 or 80
per cent. The brunette of this percentage
is not fitted for labor The small per
centage of capacity for labor in him is
not enough to command a price in the
market. On the other hand, his bent is
toward reason, logic or philosophy, which
has an equally low price in the market
If these brunettes of so or 90 per cent
were educated, [ am sure we should owe
to them much in our complex world.

Are We Paying to
Become Failures?

l believe it is possible to go much further
than this and fix certain broad classes into
which most men, and women, too, will
fall. We thus find man who may sit at
desk all day long with no strain on his
health and with no sense of being tiled
down" There is another sort of man who
might be driven insane by this way of life
Such man needs physical activity he needs
10 exercise his muscles, he must travel and
be given new things to do. The man whom
we call success is usually the man who is
physically fitted to his work, enjoys that
work and excels in it. The man who does
not find the job that suits his disposition
and bent apt to call q failure.
believe that, at least in broad way, we
may find the reason for these relative sue
cesses and failures in this thing of adapt
ability. And l truly believe this problem of
adaptability is little more than a mechanical
or physical adjustment of the man to his
work and his surroundings.
