Notes From Sport World


The big leagues get under way to-
day in every city of the circuits with
opening games booked. The Brook
lyn-Boston games at Boston go into
to the standing columns OF the Ma
tional league, but that was a special
opening for some reason or other.
The real season starts today. LAST
ern dopesters pick the Giants and
the Cubs to be battling for the rag.
BROOKLYN and Boston are we'll up IN
the line according to the dope. The
two Sox teams appear to have the
edge in the American, the red hose
of Boston being the favorite over
the white legs of Chicago. The
American Association will open their
doors today, too. Columbus seems
to be the pick in this loop, with Mil
waukee having a good chance.
One of the biggest trapshooting
tournaments in this country opens
at Pinehurst, N. c., tomorrow after
noon. The North Carolina State
Tsapshootins association fosters this
yearly event.
Former Welterweight Champion
Ted Lewis, according to advices
from his physician. has recovered
from his illness and is. ready for the
ring once more. Ee has been signed
for return bout with Jack Britton
on the Fourth of July. but beI, re
that engagement he will probably
meet Johnny Tillman Of St. Paul
at Philadelphia.
The light-heavywsight boxing
championship will be decided in a
ls-round mill at Tulsa, Okl.. tonight.
Billy Miske of St Paul, defender OF
tie title. will meet Bill Brennan of
Chicago and referees decision will
be rendered at the conclusion of the
bout Miske figures to win the mill.
but Brennan will make him step out
to do it,
Philadelphia has another boxing
club, named the Empire Athleuc
club. The Empire promoters have

Omaha RELEASES
THREE PLAYERS,
I W0 TO Moline
Red Mack and less Kranda
Go to Three Eye League,
While Hi Hale Let Out
Internationally.

Manager Bill Jackson Of the
Omaha Western league club an
nounced yesterday morning that he
had released three payers of the
present squad, one Internationally
and the other two to Thea Moline
(Ill.l Three-Eye league club. The
players turned over to Moline are
Red Mack and Jess Kranda. Hi Hale
was released Internationally, but
may be placed with Three-Eye
club later in the season when he
rounds into form. He is in poor
shape now and because of a bad arm
cannot seem to get in shape at any
very early date.
Not in very good form when he re-
ported. the practice i'll the cool
breezes here didn't help Hale's bad
arm any. in fact it seemed to be
getting worse, and under such con-
ditions Hi would be of no use to
any club. so Jackson let him go I'M
conditionally, so that he could take
his own time in getting in proper
conditions. If he succeeds in put
ting himself in shape. he will report
the fact to Jackson and Bill will
have him placed with Moline or
some other Three-Eye league club.
The release of Kranda and Mack
was not on account of any poor
showing against the Armours, but
Simply because Bill figured that he
had men that were just as valuable as
either of these two to fill their posi-
tons and he felt he could spare them
better than any of the others. Both
of these fellows should make well
come additions to the Moline club,
as they are both good ball players
and will probably come back to
Omaha or to some other Western
league club later in the season or
next year. Hale has made a num-
Der of friends here and they will be
sorry to see him go, but he is an
other that will probably come back
here again. if he can round into
good playing form.

refused to allow Kruss to turn these
leases over to the Berg company
the petition alleges. Instead, they
organized a company called the Ne.
braska Ota company which is called
"a pretended corporation" This
company was owned by the five de-
PENDANTS.
The Nebraska Ota company, it is
alleged, took the leases from Kruss
and sold them to the William Berg
company for 100000, which, it is
charged, they converted to their own
use.
The plaintiff charges that the five
defendants converted a total of
$460,000 of William Berg company
assets by manipulation of leases,
stocks, certificates Of deposit, etc.
An accounting is asked. The court
is asked to compel restitution to the
company of any funds or assets
wrongfully converted, if such are
found.
In March, 1919, the five defend
ants resigned as officers of the COM
pany.

kind ever attempted i'll America. Be-
fore the famous Reno mill. Jim Jeff
RES made triumphal tour of the
country boxing exhibitions and
crsl.ing furore among his sup
peters. Sullivan startled the world
BY meeting all corners and paying
$50 to anyone that could stay before
him for four rounds. That tour is
the reason John l.. was proclaimed
the champion of champions. He
never forfeited his bonus money, no
man ever stood up to him over the
font round route,
y The Dempsey carnival is even
greater than was Sulivan's. Jack
will pay $1,000 to anyone staying
four rounds and doesn't stop with
the one bout with the challenger
He thenstakes on a sparring partner
and gives another exhibition. Be-
sides Dempsey's sensational appear
arcc. he carries company OF all
nation wrestlers who exhibit their
wares before Jack gets into the
ring. Local talent is secured when
possible, to oppose the wrestlers and
when they are not available, they

giving good show and thus appeal
ing to followers of this line of sport.

Jack will take on his only New York
conquerer. John Lester Johnson, a
gigantic negro, who was given
popular verdict over him in Demp-
sev's first New York appearance
This fellow Johnson will serve to
give fans an idea of how Jack will
work in the bout with Willard. The
negro is six feet four inches tall and
weighs go pounds and has an enor
NOUS reach Jack will demonstrate
the blows he hopes will bring him
championship. on the huge colored
chap.
Three local favorites will perform
on the mat and Central American
champion will work against the
carnival wrestlers before the cham
spionship contender appears. Mat
suda Ouishi, the Japanese mat ar
list, will meet Ludecke the Central
.Anlerican: Tom Raw and Jess Queen
will wrestle to fall and the leading
heavyweight wrestler with the show
will take on the popular Papillion

Murray went four rounds with Jack
Johnson when the ex-champion was
in his best form. he says. and two
rounds with Jess Willard. He is s.
