BY RAY PEARSON.

The term roaring forties" may
not mean anything to Chicagoans
San Franciscans, Seattleites, or St
Louisans, but it does mean plenty
to New Workers. For those not
wise, like Gothamites, we'll state
that the roaring forties" start at
Fortieth street and extend north
ward on Broadway to Fiftieth street.
In this stretch of Broadway OF
gay past, present and future, one
meets up with the famous men who
dabble in the game of chance. They
play the game at the race track, and
they play it indoors, but perhaps we
should hop right, into what we
started to say and that is that the
coin changers of this section of New
York dig deep into the why and
wherefore of things.
We found this band congregated
in the roaring forties," pondering a
momentous question, the day after
the Dempsey Carpenter fight. 1t is
question that concerns particularly
the actions of Dempsey. They
could not decide whether or not
Dempsey fought, "his" battle, and
they want to know and Won't be
satisfied until they find out.
1t is the idea of the writer that
Dempsey did and did not fight "his''
battle. That may sound paradoxical,
but nevertheless it is a fact, because
the Dempsey we saw in the ring bat
ting Carpenter showed two styles,
one that was his own and one that
was not.
He certainly did not shoot those
famous hooks" to Carpenter in the
first two rounds in the customary
way, and in those first two sessions
we saw him breaking ground before
the rushes of the Frenchman. He
was trying to box, instead of fight,
and that isn't Dempsey.
Plays Georges Game.
By the attempt to box a man who
demonstrated very conclusively that
he can outlook the worlds champion,
and also outfoot him, Dempsey
played into his opponents hands.
He did not change those tactics until
after the second round, when Car
pentier pasted him severely and had
him staggering around the ring on
weak and wobbly limbs.

Nebraska's Dirt Track Speed Demon

Oshkosh, Neb., July 9.-(Special)
Nebraska has produced base ball
players, wrestlers, foot ball players,
boxers, in fact, Cornhusker land has
turned out some of the best athletes
in the country, but the latest to at
tract the attention OF the thrill-loving
public is King Ridley of Oshkosh,
Neb., better known as the dirt track
king of the state.
Rhiley began his racing career in
1911 at Alliance, Neb., during the
Stockmen's convention, fhen he won
his first race, 20-mile event, in
which 10 drivers from several states
were entered.
H is an expert auto mechanic and
built his own car and has continued
to construct two racing cars each
year, having completed IL or more.
Since 1916, Ridley has taken the
leading part in the auto races here
and it was at his suggestion that auto
racing was started in this city at the
couny fair. Ridley has defeated
hundreds Of drivers and has won
every race here since he first entered.
In his racing career he has lost only
two cares: one at Grand Island. in
1912, and one at haywood. The
cause of the latter was due to the
cold weather, which affected his
motor, and at Grand Island, his car
was geared too low for two-mile
track.
In 1919 the Chamber of Commerce
offered a silver cup, valued at 5000,
to be won three times. Rhiley has
won two legs of this cup. The cup
was displayed at the auto show in
Omaha recently.
Rhiley was at Holdrege, Neb., in
March, 1885, learning the horseshoe
trade. and later, while working at
this in Omaha, when boy, he saw
his first automobile and rushed to
the door to watch it. At that time
he told his employers that the new
method would, soon run their busi-
ness out and cars would take the
place of horses.
In 1917 he took up automobile
mechanic work and has followed it
since that time. He conducted ga
RACES in Elm Creek, Kearney and
Oshkosh. He was educated in
Omaha and spent nine years there.
Mr.. Rhiley is using Hudson with

OF last place this year he would be
entitled to the laurels of a wizard.
With eight of the best players in the
league extracted simultaneously from
one team, the task of filing their
places was monumental. And in
spite OF all efforts to do so, a glance
at the Gleason lineup in April proved
the impossibility of accomplishing
the miracle.

serious.

did not pan out as well at the start,
For nearly two months the White
Sox pilot had to stall along with
only one dependable slabman, Red
Faber.
Slab Work Lamentable.
Even Dick Kerr, hero of an odorif-
erous worlds series, was of little use
at the outset, and the rest of the
moundsmen either could not or
would not put the ball over the plate
until they had to, making steady
succession of passes an almost daily
occurrence.
In spite of that glaring weakness,
Gleason instilled a fighting spirit
into his men, both veterans and re-
cruits. Captain Collins led them all
by playing the greatest game of his
career at second base until he was
laid UP by an accident, due wholly TO
one of the pitchers carelessness in
making bad throw to first base.
Catch Spirit Of Leaders.
Catching the spirit of playing to
the limit every day from these lead
erS, the rest OF the Sox responded
with a spirit that was commented on
all around the circuit by rooters and
experts. !
BY patience and expert advice,
Gleason corrected some of the faults
OF his younger pitchers until they
began to show real promise, and
Faber went along with impressive
success, leading the league pitchers
in spite Of the fact he was working
with second division team. Then
Kerr rounded to, and gave Gleason
a second dependable hurler.
In spite of the accidents to Schalk
and Collins, and all the other handi-
caps, Gleason has kept the Sox far
out of last place, but the fans must
not expect too much, even Of a wiz
ard.

Golfers who used the municipal

Has Its Dangers

From time inmemorial golfers
have been joked for digging in the
bunkers." 1t was no joke to the
players on the Foxrock course near
Dublin recently. Two armed strang-
ers forced the golfers to the public
road, where they were compelled to
dig trench. A military lorry ap-
peared and the armed men disap-
peared. But the golfers had hard
time explaining matters to the officer
in charge, and finally were COM

LIZ w I'd are played three

That Is the question puzzling the
majority OF the followers OF anna
teur base ball in Omaha, especially
those who have watched with great
interest the race in the Class A loop
during the past month or SO.
The Drive-Its, whu have been
leading the league during the past
three weeks by single game, are
picked as favorites by the majority
of the fans, although the Riggs, who
are but a single game behind the
leaders, are also favorites in the race,
while many OF the followers are pre-
dieting that the Bowen Furniture
Co., last seasons pennant winners,
will finish the season in second place
ahead of the Riggs.
Important Games.
Todays games in the City loop will
be watched with great interest, espe-
cially the contest between the Riggs
Optical Co. and the Bowen Furni-
ture nine, scheduled at Fontenelle
park, $50 p. III. The Bowens, ac-
cording TO Manager Dennison, are
out for revenge over the defeat
handed them by the Optical crew
in the earlier part of the season.
Zip" Woosley IS slated to do the
mound work for the Bowens, while
Beers or Sucker will heav them
over the rubber for the Riggs.
The Drive-It- Yourselfs and the
North Omaha Boosters mix at lhir-
ty-second and Dewey avenue should
be hotly contested, with the leaders
as favorites. However, according to
word received from the north part
of the city, the Boosters are expected
to stage a Comeback" and pull the
leaders down a notch. The Town
send Gun Co.-Knights of Columbus
contest at Miller park should prove
snappy game.
Big ''H" Meets w. 0. w.
In the American league the Big
H" Hardware Co., leaders, will
cross bats with the w. 0. w. Boost
ers at Riverview park in the main
event at that place. The Boosters
are in third place with feW$games
behind the leaders and are confident
of beating their opponents. Other
games in this circuit which will be
worth watching are scheduled at
Thirty-second and Dewey avenue be-
tween the McKenny Dentists and
the Columbias, as preliminary to
the North Omaha Boosters-Drive-l 1t
Yourself battle, and at Carter lake,
where the Carter Lake club and the
Dold Packing Co. are hghtlng 1t
out.
Followers of the Gate City league
will no doubt watch the contest be-
tween the Christ Child Centers. lead
ers of the loop, and the Hodge Elec-
tries at l:50 o'clock at Fontenelle
park. Although the Electrics are
down in third place they stand a
good chance of giving the leaders
a tough game. At Riverview park
the South Side Merchants and the
Brodegaard Crowns will mix, and
Miller park will be the scene OF the
Colfax club-Marquette club contests.

was a beauty, clearing left field fence

Announcement Made by The

stoned Widespread Comment
About the City.

1t is doubtful if any announcement
made by this paper in receet years. af-
fecting itself and Brunswick, created
such widespread interest as did that
of yesterday morning promising the
issuing in the fall of a special number
dedicated to the expansion and fuller
commercial and indus5rial develop
ment of this city. If there was dis,
senting view as to the wisdom of this
papers purpose it was not told The

Concerning the BIGGER AND BET
TER BRUNSWICK EDITION of The

ion seems to I that now is the time
Ito go out and get the business and

agreeable situation. And there are
thousands of business and citizens do
| ing just that thing. Concerning the
forthcoming special number of The
News, DIR. j. w. Simmons, president
of the Brunswick Board of Trade, said
last night:
II am very glad, indeed, to know
that this is going to be done and in
such manner as to insure practical
and substantial results. I am an ar
dent believer in publicity, and es-
pecially newspaper publicity. If any
subject is intelhgently handled in a
newspaper it commands instant at
tention, and accomplishes things
mere Decentralization more often than
otherwise fails to accomplish. You
can say for me that / am strong for

and feel sure it will be the success all
Brunswick must want We need it,
One Of the stimulants to the general
interest in the special number was
the announcement in the Savannah

that Savannah fully appreciates the
fact that while at this time business

those Industries looking for more
agreeable location. Stressful times
invariably bring these changes, and
