local business men. and number of
other well known Milwaukeeans.
O'Brien will retain his position with

will be elected vice president of the
Milwaukee club. with Otto Borchert as

This is the first time in the history
of Milwaukee that the interests of the

During the 1919 world series be-

I met Clarence Rowland, former man.

esting chats with him. Rowland was
interested in the performance of the
Sox He had handled most of the
players. and knew the value or the
club. He was disappointed at the out
come of the series. He and Gleason
are great pals, and despite the fact
that Gleason succeeded him. he was
strong for the Kid to come through
a winner.
When Rowland came to the majors
he made the jump unheralded. He
had been a successful minor league
leader. but was almost unknown from
a major league standpoint. Of'course.
the papers made much fuss over the
overnight leap to fame of an un-
known "bush league manager.
He was the object of much atten-
ton as leader of so famous a club
as the Chicago White Sox. The things
he pulled successfully were usually
overlooked, but any, time he kicked
one, it was regarded as bush league"

contempt for Rowland was to refer
to his as a bush Lacquer" But

Should Jack Dempsey and Georges
Carpenter meet in the ring during
this year, as appears most probable,
it will be the first time since March %.
1898. that a foreign heavyweight has
been serious contender for the
world championship in this class. On
that date Jim JeffrieS knocked out
Peter jackson in three rounds. and
while the famous Australian negro
was but a shell of his former self.
he still carried the European heavy
weight honors. The victory gave JEFF
fries the right to the world heavy
weight title beyond displte.
Jackson was the first Australian
heavyw eight champion. Later he add

don, and when he entered the ring
against Jeffries he was the holder of
European honors, while Jeffries held
undisputed title to the American
championship. Jeffries' horors in turn
passed to Jack Johnson. Jess Willard
and on July 4, 1919, to Jack Dempsey.
Carpenter, by his two defeats of
Bombardier Wells and his latest vic
tory over Joe Beckett, holds the title
of European champion. Should he face
Dempsey during the next. few months
the French pugilist, who began his
ring career as a featherweight, will be
the first foreign heavyweight in sew

against an American with anything
like a fair chance of winning the
