1t was the old story, the story of

LANCER came to Omaha four days
ago. He lodged at 900 North Six

man at Sixteenth and Farnam streets
who asked him the way to the Union
station. LANCER said he didn't know
as he himself was stranger i'll the
city. The man became friendly and
walked with LANCER down the street.

They met another fellow, IAN old

second stranger told them OF the Won
derful opportunity he had to make
100000 in a very short time if he
only had $4,000. He had but $4,000,
he said.
Here LANCER, seeing the opportuni-
ty for profits beyond his dreams,
finally volunteered to supply the
other $4,000.
After arrangements had been made
by the two men to meet them in u
certain room in hotel, LANCER went

withdrew his horde in cash and took
it to the hotel.

MT. Hopper has been here before and a number of the men who have sat opposite him are anxious to try their skill again. He will play thirty boards at one time and it is requested that those who wish boards will reserve their places in advance.
 He will also be here Thanksgiving evening to meet any who may want to play him again or those who are unable to be here on the evening of Armistice Day, Nov. II. He is one of the best checker players in this country, having defeated Alfred Jor- dan, eX-world's champion, recently. Out of 409 games played during the past months he won 3S5, had six losses, and IS draws.

BY OLD SPORT

There's a pathetic tint to the case of old and penniless. Peter Maher, who baSlzed on the sunny side of the street for a good part Of his time. Peter heard the srarls of the hungry wolf at his door the other day. and was forced to get a job. He appeal ed to friends in New York who found him a position on the docks, where Peter is engaged in earning his daily bread and an honest dol lar.
 Maher had one of the hardest punches of any of the o1dtime heavy weights. but he failed to reach the top of the championship ladder. Bob Fftzsimmons, who met Maher twice, attested to this fact. The case of Maher should be a lesson to ambi- tious boxers of the present day. Pe- ter knew how to fight, but he refus- ed to keep in condition. In a chat with Jim Corbett, not So long ago, Corbett declared Maler would have been a champion if he would train. But he disliked the drudgery of the game and never rose higher than a second rater. After Peter filled. a fight engage mt he would take things easy, and when he had a bout in sight he refused to take things seri- ous until a few days before the bat tie.

moter. who knew Maher very we'll personally. He told the same story as CoFbett. One of Maher's greatest fights was his battle with Joe Choy- inski in the days of the old Horton law, when Peter scored a spectacu- lar knockout in the sixth round. T believe it was the hardest punch ever landed on a man. declared Dona- hue. who witnessed the fight.
 Maher'S predicament recalls to old timers the fact that he was one of the most dangerous hitters of his time. So destructive was his punch with either right or left that only one of the topnotchers of the period could be induced to meet him in the ring. JFeanless Fitzsimm faced Maher twice in the roped square and each Dime was victorious. But F'itz had a narrow escape in the first battle, which took place at New Orleans. Maher f1oored Fitz in the second round and it looked like curtains for the freckIe listed fury from Australia. He managed to get on his feet, how ever, and in thirteen rounds beat Maher into submission.
 Sullivan and Corbett did not at any time seem to be enthusiastic about a meeting with Maher. Corbett sent Steve O'Donnen as his proxy and Peter made short work of Steve-30 seconds, to be exact. But Maher never got a title fight.
 Maher still is rugged and vigorous. and as he is willing to work he should have the opportunity. B
