STEELE WILL
MEET LOCALS
HERE TONIGHT
Phantoms Play Speedy Kid
der County Quint at s To-
night on II. S. Floor

The speedy Steele Independents,
who gave the Phantoms such IA good
battle two weeks ago, will come here
tonight to play the local cagers on
she high school floor. The game
starts promptly at 8 o'clock.
Steele has made an enviable rec
ord for itself IN cage circles this year,
having lost only one game the entire
season. This record indicates that
ehe kidder county aggregation can
match with the best OF the independ-
cnt cage outfits.
The Phantoms have been displaying
a smooth brand Of teamwork lately
which marks a return to their old
form of last year. when they led the
state independents. Smoother play
ing, more accurate passing, and long
or shots have been marking the work
Of the local cagers.
Practices have been going on con-
sistently and have most decidedly
borne fruit. The development of long
shot artists is one of the major things
which has manifested itself in connec-
ton with the teams work. several
players showing marked aptness at
tossing the ball through the loops
from back on the floor.
The smooth teamwork should help
much in the game tonight. Steele
has an aggregation which is strong
on defensive work and which may
hamper the Phantoms somewhat in
their practice of working the ball
close up under the basket, but if the
flong-shot men do their stuff this
handicap should be fully overcome.
All Phantom players have been
showing up we'll. In forward posi-
tions, Haas and Gray have been do
ing good work and should furnish
their usual quota of field goals and
free throws tonight. Greenfield
either at forward or center, can be
relied upon for several long shots
as we'll as the closeup variety.
Slattery, probable center, will edo
his stuff" and can also be expected to
garner points for the Demons. Mid
daugh, Holta and Doyle will uphold
the defensive end and should keep
the ball safe distance away from
the locals basket.
Steele has a fast team, smooth
working team and a hard fighting
team. Fans can expect close and
fast game tonight.

Johnny Vacca Wins Fame
Overnight BY Beating La
Barba For Fun
by NEA Service


Boston, Feb. 24.-From an unknown
Fighter to a logical contender for the
championship Of his class-that is
the story of Johnny Vacca, Bostons
newest sensation.
To gain that distinction, Vacca gave
Fidel La Barba, flyweight champion,
the worst beating that lad ever re-
ceived!
A. pay for it, he got nothing! Not
dime!
All because he possessed ample
confidence in his fighting ability and
courteously agreed to take Thanks"
as his end of the gate when the crowd
fell far below the number needed to
cover the cost of the show
Nacca fought La Barba and floored
him four times Just because he got a
kick out OF being in the ring with
the champion. And they call this
the age of frenzied finance.
He is ready to do business now
with Tex Richard and il won't take
any big amount Of dough to get him
IN the ring. Name your date and his
opponent and he'll be there.
1t showed, as it often does in Bos-
ton, the day the two were scheduled
To swap punches. 1t showed enough
TO knock the props out of whatever
profit promoters expected from the
bout.
So few fans turned up that night
that Nacca, the lad doped to stand
most of the punishment. had not a
remote chance of drawing a dime for
his performance.
The bout might have been called

DEMPSEY MUST
FIGHT WINNER.
SAYS RICHARD
Former Champ Cannot Meet
Tunney Unless He Proves
Himself Best Contender

New York, Neb. 24-LP)-An ulti-
matum by Tex Richard to Jack
Dempsey settles the status of the
former heavyweight champion in the
promoters matchmaking plans.
Dempsey must defeat the winner
of the elimination tournament now
being staged at Madison Square Gar
den in order to gain a return match
with Gene Tunney. Otherwise Demp-
sey Will be retired from cons!de ration
as a challenger.
Dempsey will not meet Tunney
unless he proves he is the best man
among the contendcrs for The heavy
weight title,' the promoter said in
answer to reports that Jack would
meet the champion or no one. by
that | mean he must whip the winner
of the present series.
"When | started this tournament |
signed contracts with all the men
entered. agreed to give them Tun-
ney if they fought their way to the
front. They all signed under these
conditions Bcrlenbach. Delaney. Ma
loney, Sharkey, Pauline, Hansen,
Mum. They are fighting honestly
with that goal in mind.
Won't Break Contracts
81 couldn't sidctrack any Of them
and shove Dempsey in with Tunney
for the simple reason that each man
could hold me to my contract and sue
me for breach Of it, | wouldn't turn
them down for Dempsey in justice
to them either"
Richard said he expected to learn
Dempsey's plans from the former
champion in few days.
The last foreign entry, Pauline
Uzcudun Of Spain, is slated for a pre-
liminary test Friday night against
knute Hansen. western heavyweight.
The only remaining contest already
arranged in the series brings to the
tourney Jack Sharkcy Of Boston
against Mike McTigue, who eliminat-
ed Paul Berlenbach. This bout is
scheduled for March g.

off had Vacca not been Il very oblig
ing young man.
He was willing to fight for the fun
of it!
what difference does the money
make? % he queried. 'I'll fight La
Barba for the thrill. That will be
reward enough--just to meet him."
He did and what a fight it was. He
plastered the title wearer with every
thing but the ropes and the posts
around the ring, and had La Barba
down on the floor four times.
"But I'm not flyweight-Tm a
bantam" cries the lad who won fame
overnight by being accommodating.
I'm out to win that title and don't
intend to be denied"
Certainly his showing against the
clever La Barba makes him logical
contender.

MED by the District Supreme Court
today and this afternoon the prop.
erty Is to be sold by the trustees,
William L. F. King and William
