OMAHA, Feb. 5.--According to an
nouncement of +. L. WhitlocS of Sid
ney, Neb.. the possibility OF Denver,
e-entering the western league base
ball circuit the coming season is well
established.
Following a meeting with repre-
sentatives Of the Joplin, (Mo.,l club,

and another held in Omaha yesterday
it was made public that Whitlock.
Bob" Lowe and DR.. Adkins, also of

a half game. That half game meant
about $500 to each Washington
player. In the major leagues today
every game is battle, because uR-
til the last few weeks usually about
six clubs have a chance to finish in
side the money.
Then there is the world series.
Every now and then one reads what
soft picking it is for the umpires. I
wish everyone who so thinks could
umpire for a season and work in a
world series.
In this connection I have in mind
the series of 1921, Ollie Chill I'm his
first game worked perfectly. There
wasn't ball or strike disputed. IN
his second game. he gave another
fine exhibition, only one ruling was
questioned.
In the first inning OF that game,
Chill called pitch of Waite Hoyt's
a ball. 1t was curve. Hoyt kicked
loudly. II would have retired the
batter and ended the inning without
score had It been called strike.
The Giants made a run in that ina
ming and that run won the game.
Chill worked two great games, yet
because OF one disputed decision will
hear a lot about 1t next summer.
To those who think unipiring r.
soft, / would suggest they take n
whirl at it, for II pays pretty good
money!. u. rF

Cheyenne Kiser says Hoot Gibson,

stars have nothing on him when it
comes to riding wild ponies while
the camera man turns the crank.
Kiser has signed with troupe of
Lasky players who will make series

company is due here this morning
and Kiser and his troupe of rodeo
stars win accompany the director to
Mormon Flats, where the proper To-

Kiser is promoting rodeo to be
staged at the state fair grounds in

boys busy while waiting for the big
event He has a whole caravan of
riders and ropers on the lot and more
coming. Kiser says he will have 10
wild horses captured on the Indian
reservation and imported to Phoenix
for the wild horse races.

STAGE SET FOR NEFF- ALGER
BOUT At COLISEUM TONIGHT

Neff arrived he worked daily with
local boys. Mike says he will dispose
of Brown as he disposed of the others
with his slashing attack. Mixes body
blows brought from the hips crash
his opponents early and unless Brown
shows an ability to take a heavy
volley he will crumble early. Mike
can also use his right to the head,
but his head blows do not carry the
same steam that shoot the hip
punches with full weight Of his body.
Brown has harder right that comes
straight TO the point of the chin. None
OF Mikes opponents have given him
a fight and the fans do not know
how much he can stand. It Is GER
tain that Mike will feel the effects of
Browns right il it hits the jaw and
Brown also uses q left to the
stomach. Soldier Brown has as much
confidence as Mike and says he will
make Mike quit in less than four
rounds. Brown is the prettiest fighter
OF the home town boys. but jinx
seemed to camp on his trail. Lack of
proper training and nourishment was
responsible for much of Browns hard
luck and now that he is on regular
diet and training faithfully we may
hear more from him Needless 10
say Brown can fight il he starts and
he promises to fight and prove to the
fans that lie is not yellow. This will
be a regular battle while it lasts as
Mike and Brown come from rival
Mexican camps, where the interest in
boxing overshadows all other events.

MAJOR LEAGUE BALL CLUB

MfNSOn GGAGOE DALI NLO6
Major league ball clubs travel 25,-
900 miles every year.
That is very conservative esti-
mate. Including the spring training
trip, practically every club viii travel
in excess of that amount.
The big asset of every major league
club is its players. A park to play
on is very necessary, but ii is an easy
matter to find playing field, in COM
parison to getting together a ball
club.
Making all kinds of hurried jumps.
travelling on fast trains during the
summer and slow ones during the
training season, constantly places the
players in Jeopardy. An accident that
would wipe out team, or so inture
it that its playing strength would be
greatly impaired. would be a body
blow to a major league magnate.
Such q happening is always a pos
sibility. What then do the magnates
do to protect themselves against such
a contingency?
Every major league ball club Is
heavily insured. The insurance COW
ers injury on and off the ball field.
The New York club of the Ameri-
can league as a team is insured for
about $250,000 The average insur-
ance of the major league clubs runs
about $150,000.
II club boasts OF some of the big
stars like Ruth. Speaker, Sisler.
Cobb. Hornsby, Roush, Frisch, Groh
and the like, special policy is taken
out by the club to cover any loss
suffered through injury or Illness.
The moment the New York club
secured Ruth in trade with the Bos-
ton club, a policy in the neighbor-
hood of s150.000 was taken out on
Ruth alone.
Thus it will be seen that the major
league clubs are we'll protected in
case disaster should overtake the
team in travelling around the circuit.
However. the insurance that would
be received would in no way COM
pensate for the real loss of the play
ers. Very often no matter how much
money a magnate has. he finds it
in1possibIe IN bl1y ball players.

Brings Suspicion
TRepubIlcan A. P. Leased Wlrel'

OBERLIN. Ohio, Feb. 5.-The stage
has been reached where any college
which develops successful team or
a number of star athletes is at once
under suspicion" Professor c. w.
Savage. director OF athletics at Ober-
lin colleged, declared in statement
today.
"The smaller the college and the
more successful the athletics the
greater is the feeling OF distrust." he
said. "Such conditions threaten the
the entire structure of intercollegiate
sports. 1t is time for faculties and
governing bodies to consider these
things. If the report OF Professor
Lowell OF Harvard. which declared
college sports had too prominent a
place in college life. brings about
such a survey Of intercollegiate ath-
letic relations. he should have the
gratitude OF every lover Of young men
and every loyal American citizen. DIR.

CALIFORNIA BOY
WONDER ATHLETE

Out in California they have an
other record smasher. Clarence
Houser, who is I9 years old, whose
friends call him bud" and who lives
at Oxnad, Calf, and is now attend
ing the Oxnard high school, will
probably wreck the existing shot and
discus records.
Houser is the latest athletic phe-
nomenon in a. region that has pro-
duced a flock of record holders in
track and field events. He lacks an
inch or so of being six feet tall and
weighs z02 pounds.
Houser is big, as his weight may
suggest. Broad of shoulder, deep of
chest. thick in thigh and legs. he
does not appear to carry an ounce of
superfluous weight and that is unu-
sual among the best men Of Hou-
sers chosen line OF athletic endeavor
the weight events.
This boy holds the interscholastic
record for the discus event. He
threw the discus 145 feet and s inch
es at the Santa Barbara school meet
last year and recently received word
from the Amateur Athletic Union
that the record has been accepted as
official.
Houser put the 12-pound shot SO
feet inches and his best toss with
the 16-pound shot was 48 feet ] inch.
Ralph Rose, who came out of Cali
fornia to the University Of Michigan,
holds the interscholastic shot put
record with the 16-pound ball. This
record. 45 feet 6 inches, was set by
Rose in 1903 during his high school
days in the west. Houser beat the
record by a few feet last year but
this record was not accepted as it
was made III an open meet at Sacra-
mento and in order to have ii recog-
nized as a high school record Houser
will have to beat Roses mark in a
school meet.
Houser. graduates next June. He
will go after Roses mark in the
scholastic meets this spring. Since
Houser is putting the 16-pound shot
for better than As feet at present, 1t
is almost foregone conclusion that
he will hold the interscholastic shot
put record as well as the discus
mark before another summer arrives.
Next year will probably find him
in the University of California.

SPORTING
SPLINTERS

Bing Miller, traded by Washington
to Philadelphia, is something of q
humorist. He looks for a big Inn
provement in his hitting, as he says
he always could swat them on a
minor league club.
That the Detroit club Is hard
pressed for infield material is proved
by the fact the Tigers claimed the
veteran George Cutshaw for second.
after all the other National league
clubs had waived on him. Cutshaw
had a pretty fair year with the
Pirates in 1921.
Contrary to the belief that exists
in some quarters, the ball that is used
in the American and National leagues
is identical in material and construc-
tion.
If Bobby Roth's knee is in good
shape he has great chance to make
himself solid with the New York fans.
Roth will probably be called upon to
substitute for Ruth NRtii Babes sus-
pension is raised. Aobby always gets
away good in the kprihg and when
he gets hold Of q fast ball he can
certainly give It a ride.
The St. Louis cardinals intend to
use the Cleveland shift at first base
this year. Jack F'ournier will play
when a left handler is working for
the opposition and Del Gainpr against
right handlers. The two are former
American leaguers. Each hits the
ball hard
A great many fans regret that base

University of Minnesota Is desirous
OF doing comeback in football.
AS step in that direction a change
has been made in the coaching sys-
tenn.
DR.. Williams. who has ruled foot
ball destinies at the university. has
been supplanted by a coach little
known to the football world.
Billy Spaulding, who for Is years
has directed athletics at Western
State Normal school, Kalamazoo,
Mich, is his successor,
Folks up that way have no doubt
as to Spaulding's success at Mime
sofa. They say he will more than
fill the bill and start Minnesota on
the way to zridiron success.
Football critics all over the coun-
try rather doubt the wisdom of Min
nesota's choice
The argument they advance is that
Spaulding is not schooled in the style
Of game played by Western Confer
ence elevens. They believe his lack
his task most difficult one.
There really isn't much logic in
the arguments presented. If Spauld-
ing knows football, and his success
would lead one to believe he does,
he should have no trouble meeting
the conditions that arise at Mime
sofa.
No football coach in the west has
been more successful than Zuppke of
Illinois He went direct from Oak
Park high school Of Chicago.
Northwestern, which has been go
ing so poorly in the Big Ten of late
has made a move which it is hoped
VIII be as successful as the venture
made by Illinois when Zuppke was
secured.
Glenn Thfstlewaite, who succeeded
Zuppke at Oak Park. has been draft
ed by Northwestern. He has had
great success in preparatory circles
and Northwestern is hoping it con-
tinues in his college venture.
There is no reason why a small

should be considered as having less
chance to succeed than some fellow
who comes from a big institution.
