Roger Peckinpaugh can enjoy a
joke, even if it is at his expense.
Last year Roger went % straight
games in which he made one or
more hits. Fans were watching Mis-
work with interest. always a pop
ular player, they were pulling for
him to establish new major
league record for consecutive hit
ting.
Strangely enough, the break in
Peckingpaugh's hitting streak came
in Cleveland, his home city, in
which he made his major league
debut. In the game in which he
finally went hitless he was called
out at first base on a close play.
New York was getting trimmed
that afternoon, and since the game
seemed as good as won for Cleve-
land, the fans were pulling for
Peckinpaugh to come through with
hit and keep his record intact.
When Bill Dinneen who was UNI
piring the bases, called Pack out on
his only real chance of the game to
get a hit, many spectators failed to
agree with him. Peckingpaugh is
one. of those players who never
kicks unless he believes he has
kick coming. He afterwards told
me he thought he might have had
the play tied, and, of course, he was
pulling for Dinneen to see it in the
same light. ] Iyenture to say no

Harry Williams, the formeF-West-

who turned boxer about year ago.
Graves matched Williams with Lam
son and they missed train connec-
tions and made the trip to the bat
tile ground in a Ford. Losing the
way and having several mishaps,
they finally arrived on the scene of
battle at 1890 at night. Williams
was forced to concede a win to the
Indian after four rounds Of boxing,
having been foored six times in the
| fourth rounds
1t is true that Williams was not
actually knocked out, though it will
go on the records of each as a
knockout, but his legs were in such
condition that he could not stand
up under the terrific punches of the
Indian heavyweight. Lamson's new
manager contends that his new box
er must have something or he could
not floor a man of Williams ability
six times in one round under any
conditions.

Bee Sports Editor to Have
18Months Leave of Absence
Kid Graves to Take Long Vacation, During Which He
Will Train and Manage an Indian Boxer and
Have Charge of Gymnasium on Omaha Reserva-
tion-Contract Effective January 15

With this issue of The Bee, Kid
Graves, sports editor for the past
year and three days, will leave for
an extended vacation, lasting Is
months. Graves has been on the
job every day since January 8, 1919
and has made an enviable record as
the head of The Bee sports depart
ment. Readers of his dope" stories
will miss his articles for short time
only, as he has arranged to contrib
ute to the sport page during his
vacation"
The reason for Graves long leave
of absence is that he has been Of
fered a contract by number of
wealthy ranchers and I, farmers of
Walthill, Neb., on the Omaha In
dian reservation, who have built and
constructed gymnasium in that
town. Graves will have charge of
that gymnasium and will also act
as the manager and trainer of
George Lamson, the half-breed In
dian heavyweight boxer, who shows
promise of speedily becoming one
of the leading title contenders.
Has Full Charge.
In the matching and training of
Lamson, Graves will be the power
behind the gloves" The trust re-
posed in his judgment by the men,
bers of the Walthill Athletic club,
otherwise the aforementioned ranch
ers and farmers, is absolute and the
newspaper man will have all au-
thority in making and arranging
Larnson's ring appearances. He will
first devote a few weeks to polish
ing off the boxers boxing and per-
fecting his defense, which is some
what lacking. A few weeks under
the tutelage of Graves, who before
taking up the newspaper game was
once the worlds welterweight cham
pion, and the Indian scrapper may
we'll be feared by a great number of
the present crop of heavyweights.
The former welter champion and
sports editor has often declared
that he could outpoint any living
heavyweight in a limited round en-
gagement, and it will be interesting
to note his opinion of Lamson after
he has been in charge of the train
ing for time. Graves already has
high opinion of Lamson's abilities.
The Indian boxer saw service in the
army and performed with the gloves
while in the service. In all he has
had 18 contests, losing the first one
in camp in the United States. Later
he met his conquerer in contest in
France and scored knockout in the
first round.
