"If the world war had lasted until
March 4, 1921, there would be NO
doubt that President Harding's first
act would be to veto it and start a
republican war with Europe. New
administrations don't like to inhetit
the other party's troubles. They
can roll their own. There is some
chirping that Governor Miller will
put the tap on New York's fight
game. The only reason seems to be
that it was launched by the state
democrats and is big bird of para
disc in their hats.
The boxing game Office holders
are doubtless opposed to the gcver-
nor politically, but all men agree
on the Queensberry platform. There
is nothing that folks like better than
to see some other yaI1ms pull the
Punch and Judy for keeps. A fight
between two newsboys can tie up
Mall street tighter than a morator-
ium. A battle between two truck
drivers can start traffic jam dur
ing a pedestrians strike. And two
certified knuckle n,agicians can
pack the Garden like free day in
the subway. ...-..
Fighting Safety Valve.
There is something about a scuf-
fe that appeals to the innocent spec
tator until a wild punch on the waf-
fe makes him guilty. IT shows that
Americans are still fighting race
in spite of all the amendments. If
Caruso could fight like he can hol-
ler, all the breakfast foods in the
county would be after him. Two
thirds of our presidents nave led
men in battle, while the other third
have followed 'em at a respectful
presidential distance.
The fighting men of 1861 ran the
country for 40 years. The battlers
Of 1918 will steer the works for

Will Be Real Grudge
Affair for Ten Frames

Chicago, Jan. 8.-Boxing contests,
as rule, usually are advertised as
"grudge" affairs if for no other rea-
son than publicity.
But there will be a genuine grudge
fight staged in Kenosha, Wis, when
Charlie White and Sailor Friedman,
rival Chicago lightweights, meet in
a 10-round contest, January IA. They
have been bitter enemies for years.
Friedman has sought a match with
White for two years, only to be
turned down a dozen times. White
has declared he would never give
Friedman an opportunity to make
a dollar in the ring with him.
A Kenosha promoter finally in
tuced White to box by meeting his
terms--a guarantee of $3,500. Freid-
man will not receive cent unless
the gate receipts exceed $4,000. Then
he will share in a small percentage.
Because of the interest in the match
among their Chicago admirers, the
house" was virtually sold out a
day after the match was made. White
and Friedman both are of Jewish
parentage and have a large Chicago
following. Special trains will caffy
their admirers to the battle ground.

night by Coach John Wilce of the
Ohio State university foot bali team
after reading the statement OF
Coach John R. Richards of Wiscon-

if Ohio State is again placed on the

Statements attributed to Richards

''Strangler" Lewis deadlock Now
Removed From the Joke Glass

creeps into the catch-as-catch-can
style, which Is widely popular in this
country.
Whatever the justice of the grow
ing agitation against the deadlock
may be, in one respect at least Lewis
hold has been vindicated. 1t used to
be that many followers of the game
ridiculed the efficacy of the lock,
branding it as joke and disparaging
Lewis claims as to the damage he
could do with it. If it is sufficiently
severe in its effects to, send two
wrestlers of the .aliber of Stecher
and Zbyszko to the hospital, it would
seem that it must at least be removed
from the joke class to which it once
was consigned. ..4.tl....

strictly speaking, the deadlock is not
genuine wrestling grip designed to
put the shoulders of a grappler to
whom it is applied to the mat, but a
furnishing grip calculated to make
him quit.
1t is a fact that Lewis has won
many of his matches by subduing his

The local athletes started out
strong and soon had to Q lead on
their Omaha opponents. With the
score against them, the Packers un-
corked a brand of teamwork that
puzzled the York shooters time and

Omahans, coupled with the basket
shooting OF Hill, Ackerman and

ending the first half with a rs to 9
lead.
During the second half the locals
tried hard to knot the score, but
again the teamwork and basket
shooting of the visitors played an
important factor in registering
tallies. The defense of Coach Pat

AT THE MAJESTIC.

At the Majestic Theatre. Thomas
Meighan continues 10 win popular
favor in his new picture, The City
OF Silent Men" Never attempting
10 be theatrical or to try for effect
he has succeeded in putting over a
character that is positively thrilling
on many occasions and natural at
all times.
The City OF Silent Men" is a cry
against the too frequent injustice OF
circumstantial evidence. This story
tells of a boy whose life was almost
shattered and whose mothers heart
was broken because the guilt OF a
murder was shifted TO his shoulders.
Sing Sing prison itself was used as
the background for the prison
scenes OF this picture. This is the
first time that the great penitentiary
was ever used as the setting for a
picture. The effect Is realistic and
convincing.
Mr.. Meighan has now established
the reputation OF always appearing
In good picture. This is not an
accident but the glorious result OF
steady application and an honest en-
deavor to fulhll the trust OF the peo-
pie.
