the two young men were held and
Sheriff Eads notified. He came
down shortly after and the young
men were taken back to Wagner
where a preliminary hearing was
held during which it leaked out
that the whole affair was bosh.
The facts as stated at court were
that three young men Of Omaha
were travelling in the car and one
of them was put off at Wagner af-
ter a quarrel. However, lie got
even by making complaint that
his two pals had stolen the Cur
from him and finally contradicted
and reversed himself by saying
that the car really belongs to his
pals. IL other words, to get re
venge for being put off, he accus.
ed them of theft, which in legal
parlance is grand larceny and pu-
nisable by a term in the penitentis
ry. The case was dismissed and
the trio released. We don't know
the exact details in the case, but it
seems to US if The young man who
had his pals held up that way and
made u sworn complaint to that
effect, be should have been held
for perjury and given his just de-

Joe BECKETTP PUTS
WELLS OUT AGAIN

LONDON, May 11.-London is ashast
today. Joe Beckett, with a well di-
rected punch on the glass jaw of
Bombardier Wells, succeeded in bring
ing that worthy to the dust in the
third round of a match for the British
heavyweight title last night before n
big crowd at the Olympia.
This is the second victory OF Beck
EFT over Wells. In their first engage
ment at the Holborn Stadium on
February %, 1919, Beckett knocked
out Wells in the fifth round.
Both men looked fit. Wells forced
the pace at the outset and had some
what the better OF the first round. In
the second Beckett drove his opponent
to-the boards with left jolt for a
count Of nine. but Wells, on getting
to his feet, again came back hard.
In the third round Beckett again
adopted rushing tactics, only to be
met by Wells famous LETT. But
Beckett's strength prevailed over the
science of his opponent. and finally
he landed a terrific right to the jaw,
flooring Wells, who was counted out

DETROIT tSHERE !.
FORFOUR BATTLES

The Criffmen and the Detroit Tigers
open q four-game series at Georgia
avenue today. Following the Tigers
come the st. Louis Brownies.
The Tigers started on the campaign
with thirteen consecutive defeats.
Then they got started and have won
four out Of twenty played. No, this
Is not marvellous. but II shows, that
the Tigers have won four out of their
last seven pltyed.
Jack Coombs, former Philadelphia
and Brooklyn pitching star. is with
the Tigers this season in the capacity
Of coach for the mound stan. He has
not met with any special success thus
far. but may show something later.
Cold weather in the West has inter
fered with the Detroit pitchers end
also served to keep back some of the
hitters. ,- -t .'I" ,,E.,.-.
Harry HeiIman and Bobby Yeach
are the only regulars with DECENT bat
ting averages, yet Heilman's .2ss and
Veach's .282. are close to hundred
points lower than their usual spring
figures. T'
Ty Cobb, who does about as he
pleases, refused to report until the
season opened. This explains his 200
with the bat
Nevertheless, the Tigers are admit
tedly the hardest hitting club in the
American League, and once the regu-
lars begin clouting it will be tough
for all opposing hurlers.
Aside from Hale at third base in
place of Jones, the Tigers are show
ing no new faces iin their 1890 line
up. Hale, a catcher with Omaha last
sea son, has made such a'good impress
sion upon Hughey Jennings by his
all-around fielding ability and his hit
ting strength that he,i now the regu-
lar thirdsacker. His mark of .2I3 at
the bat gives him fifth place among
the Tigers to date. .,.
There are a few new pitchers
among the JunGaleers, and they may
be all turned loose in the next few
days IL the Griffs do to the Tigers as
they have been doing to all rivals this
spring. But, the bulk Of the hurlins
is being done by players well known
in Washington. o.. .

shoulder blades. Undoubtedly he can

has better legs than Dempsey.
How long will Carpenter last

he can stay away. How long will
that be? Well, looking at him yes

pearance in this city. we would say
that Dempsey is faster than the chal-

CONSTANTINE ARRIVES
IN VENICE WEDNESDAY

VENICE, Dec. 15.-Former King
Constantine and Queen Sophie. of
Greece with their children, arrived
here early this morning from Lucerne.
In the harbor the Greek cruiser
Averof and a squadron of smaller
varShips awaited the hour when the
King would go on board and depart
for Phaleron, the port of Athens,
where he is expected to arrive on
Sunday.
The trip from l.ucerne to this city
was made without incident, Constan-
tine and his family remaining in the
seclusion of their private car during
the entire journey. When the train
reached ChiassO, on the ltalo-SwlSs
frontier last evening. the special car
in which the Royal party was riding
was detached from the regular train
and coupled to another train coming
direct 70 this city. The car on which
q number of newspaper correspond
ents were travelling, was left on the
original train and went through to
Milan. A number of prominent
Greeks. among them Lambros A. Coro-
milas, Greek minister TO Italy, were
here to greet Constantine upon his
arrival.
