"ghost laying" and, judging from
the results accomplished, the day
was eminently successful
General Menoher, chief of the air
service branch of the army, said that
he proposed to visit Fort Omaha
before any final action is taken on
the removal of the balloon school
to Bellville, across the river from

"The removal of the balloon
school, or rather the school for the
lighter-than-air craft, at Fort Oma.
ha will be made on its merits, Cen
eral Menoher told me today" said
Mr.. Jcffers. "Then he justified the
action of the department in trans
ferring the balloon school because
of the lack CT space for the expert
mental purposes in conjunction with
the school. At Belleville a very
large number of areas are available,
while at Fort Omaha the acreage is
limited.
"He spoke Of the number of re-
serve officers who would be in train
ing at such a place and members of
the national guard and as congress
had set about to cut expenses, Gem
eral Mcnoher saw no other way out
of the dilemma than to reduce the
overhead by centralizing the several
departments of the air service.
May Visit Omaha Soon.
General Menoher expressed the
hope that he might reach Fort
Omaha before Christmas.
while I admit that the decision
of the head of the aircraft service
was quite blow to me-" continued
Congressman Jefferis, II was more
than encouraged that all would
work out to Omaha's ultimate good

told me that Omaha would remain
the headquarters Of the Seventh

event of the Fort Omaha balloon
school being removed to another To-
cation that the transfer of the Sew

Wilde To Battle
For A NetU Title
BY Charles NJ. Mccann.

UNITED Press staff CorrespondentD
London, August. 2s.- BY MaiD. -
Britain will open the listic year o,
1920-21 on September II, with a
fight for the bantam weight title
between Champion Pete Herman
and Jimmy Wilde, who hopes to
gather in the worlds bantam-weight
honors along with the flyweight IL
tie he now holds
There is a good deal of hope here
that Wilde can do what England ,
heavies have failed to do-remind
the United States that the boxing
game started over here, though it
may have Travelled a good bit sinca
Everyone realizes that Wilde is
stepping rather far outside his class
when he meets the worlds cham
pion OF the next heavier set Also
there's lot of comment that he's as
good as he ever viii be, and he's
no where to 90 but backward RDt
Wilde has always produced the
goods over here, and he VIII have
lot Of backing when he and Her
man hook up.
Though not for championship hon
ors, the second fight of the season
between Joe Beckett the British
champion heavy, and the always r.
liable Frank Moran will attract
greater interest over here. Beckett
received such setback when Car
pentier beat him in seventy seconds
last autumn that he is still regarded
very much as an down-and-outer de
spite number of excellent fights
in which he has left no doubt at
least that he is strong, willing young
man who likes to stand up and eN
change wallops. And in his fights
with Dick Smith, the former cruiser
weight champion, Bombadier Billy
Wells, the hardy annual of British
heavyweights, and Tommy Burns
he has walloped to good effect.
Moran. however is god dead
tougher than any of these. He is al
ways dangerous, has plenty of eour'
age and always shows well against
a boxer of Becketts type. A win
means a good deal of Beckett--an
other match with Carpenter and
possibly hope that some day he'll
meet Dempsey, though most Of the
boxing critics hope that if he meets
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1920-08-26

Dempsey he will impose condition
that at least one Of Dempsey's hands
be tied behind him. Moran has never
lost a fight in England and is a
great deal more popular with the
public than he is with his fellows
in the profession. The best anyone
is conceding Beckett is an even
chance. The fight should be good
one, as Moran is at home in a rea.
battle and can do what none OF
Becketts recent opponents can do
stand real punishment in order to
administer it.
Interest in Dempsey's career is
strongly maintained here, despite
his years idleness. The recent doubt
as to the champions acceptance OF
c, b. Cochran's offer of SOON
pounds sterling for fight with Car
pentier has had the effect Of re.
starting talk about a fight in Lun
don. The fight fans, in common
with many other people outside Of
the movie game, regard 100000 as
a lot of money and have some dii-
iiculty in picturing gent refusing
to do anything for that sum.
The sport writer's scare up a new
opponent for Dempsey every weee
or so. Rencently it has been B'i
Brennan and now it is Harry Wills
Not more than twelve hours afte
Wills put Fulton to sleep, the local
prophets started dreaming of a new
black hope When Fulton was Over
here, he had things pretty much bis
own way. and the men he didnt

He is regarded much more highly
than he is in the states, and if his
latest conqueror were matched with
and even beat Dempsey it woa.d
cause no surprise.
