This was also true of former state cards, the horses being entered for the Nebraska meetings ahead of the big circuit programs.

Rhodes, one of the most consistent playftrs on team last a star and who win expected to 1 the beat showing of his arid I 9mrmr nest season may leave to accept a contract with Louis Cardinals wJEtaodes said Wednesday moraine; TTflat he had not fully made up his miod to Join the St. Louis bail team but is Riving it serious considera tlon. The Husker southpaw has a standing offer from the Cardinals. If Rhodes accepts the offer made by the Cardinals he will finish this i year's work at the university and join the club this summer.

He has not yet signed up but has been offered a contract He was scouted at the St. Louis games by Barrett of the Cardinals who took a fancy to "Choppy's" mound work. Should Rhodes join the Cardinals he would expect to finish his university education but would be ineligible for athletics. Rhodes has been one of tlw most consistent players on the Hur football team. He Is heading, has speed and never qVts.

He has been doing track work and has developed until he probably would be taster and better on the gridiron thin year than ever. Rhodes has a good arm and in a game with Ames Monday struck 4 out twenty one men in fifteen innings. One reason why Rhodes id giving 1 serious consideration to keeping out of football next fall is the fear that he may Injure arm. While Rhodes probably would be farmed out by the Cardinal to begin with he feels tha the has a chance to ge tinto professional baseball and work up. The Husker baseball team has two first claa spitchers In Rhodes and Beryl Lang.

Lang also was sounded out by Barrett of the Cardinals and asked if he would con aider a contract Lang does not want to consider professional baseball until he has earned his degree at the university. I I vVewtrra League. Tulsa at Wichita at Penver. Oklahoma City at Omaha. St, Joerph at lKe Molnea.

Cold weather stopped every Western league game but one Tuesday and caused two games to bo postponed in the National league. The Links are scheduled to met the Tulsa Oilers this afternoon if the weather permit.

Lefty Hoh probably will be on the mound fo.l the Oilers and Ted Tillette for the Links. Bib Steve Moudy, twirler for the San Francisco team of the Pacific Coast league is expctpd to arrive in Lincoln by Friday. He will be in shape to start right in and take his regular turn on the hill. Moudy comes to the Links with a splendid recommendation and is expected to be a great addition to the Lincoln club. Clarke is still on the lookout for another good left hander, but has not been able to find the man he wants thus far.

The Links man ager hopes to build up the Lincoln pitching staff if it does not come up to his expectations in future games. Carson, the Links' southpaw, has shown up well this reason. The Links have shown a slump in the last few days but the teams in the Wttttern are all close together in the race and tho the Links have dropped to sixth place they are but two games in percentage behind Wichita in second place. The Links have shown a batting slump since tbey opened up at home. The club has some goog men with the stick but they have not been using it to the best advantage in the home games.

They have beon batting fifth in the list up until April 30 and were first as a club in fielding. Walter Shanner'a inability to play the sun field has caused Manager Josh to shift the big fellow to left and give Pid Purdy a chance to wear the smoked glasses in right garden. Friday will be Ladles day at Lan dis Field. The feminine fans will be admitted free to the grandstand. On all other days except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays the women fans will be admitted for twenty five cents.

1923, In Boyle. Bowl, that drew $367,862, was a thriller. Just Jj think of two lightweights drawing all that money in a no decision bout But the fight was worth It, Jj for the fans got a great kick out of the battle. A champion In danger of a knockout provides a wonderful thrill for a boxing fan, and Benny Leonard sure was on the verge of a knockout in the eighth round. If the clever New York boy had not kept his noodle be might have bees despatched to the land of dreams when Lefty Lew landed a left in his solar plexus that doubled I him up.

He fooled Tendler when they came to a clinch by saying: i "Don't get fresh or I'll knock you out. Who ever told you that you could punch? This was just as much as saying that he wasn't hurt a bit by the 'J blow that Lew delivered to the pit of his stomach. But Imagine a boxer with brains enough to kid an experienced op ponent like that. Leonard must have been suffering intense agony when he was talking to his great rival, but Tendler, naturally, thought that if he had really hurt Benny he wouldn't be able to talk. i Gibson Near Arrest ua Man, derby candidate, insured for A ft tntrna i fin 4 am i i blows, the harder blows, the cleaner wallops.

He also put up a remarkable defense. He made Lew miss far oftener than he missed himself. Tendler was the more aggressive, but he was outfought all the way except in the first round. In the first round Benny hadn't caught on to Lew's style and the latter's left uppercuts and left leads bothered him. I always figured the bout would go the twelve round route', which it did, as both men were in marvelous form.

I had refereed for Benny three times previously, twice with Johnny Dundee and once with Mel Coogan, while I had refereed for Tendler twice before. Any one who says Tendler is a foul fighter is all wrong. I cautioned him twice and Benny once for hitting low, but any. fighter in the heat of such a hot battle is liable to swing low once in a while. But their foul blows were unintentional.

I'm sure of that Hot Word Battle. In the eighth for a minute I thought that at last Benny had met his conquerer, but he weathered the storm in true championship style and was better than Lew in the next four rounds. After beinsr hit so hard in the eighth he adopted Johnny Dundee's Jumping Jack tactics, and had Tendler bewildered. A smart fighter is Benny Leonard. There was a lot of gab between them during the fight.

"I'm going to take that title of yours back to Philly with me," said Lew in the first round, when he was going so well. "If you do, replied "you will be taking me along, too." Later in fhe fight, when it looked as tho Leonard 'might claim a foul because tendler hit him low, Lew said: "Fight, you bum." Altuo the boys were supposed to be deadly enemies they acted real sportsmanlike to each other. On one occasion Tendler. flipped and Benny waited till the resin was wiped from his gloves. Leonard also slipped and Tendler stepped back till he rose to his feet After seeing the way these two boys performed in Jersey naturally I was all keyed up to see them fight again.

When they met in New York I attended the show and was keenly disappointed because Leonard had learned so much of Lew's style in their previous contest that he completely outclassed him. The Blow that Nearly Lost Dcmp ey His Title. It is doubtful that many of the fan who packed Boyle's Thirty Acres at Jersey City on that historic July afternoon in, 1921 when the "fight of a century was staged realized how close Carpentier came to wresting the title from Cham pion Dempsey. Both fighters were perfectly trained. The day was blazlngly hot.

and the brilliant sunshine, dancing on the pair's bodies, revealed their superb condition. In the first round Dempsey had the better of landing several painful body punches. One punch sent the Frenchman against the lower rope. The round was clearly Dempsey 's. I was more than surprised when i the belt clanged for the second round because of Carp's wonderful comeback, in which he displayed remarkable cleverness and In fiarht.

ing ability it proved that he was a great little man and had he the youth, weight, and strength of Dempsey things might have ended decidedly different. It was in this round that Dempsey stood in the Shadow of disaster. After the fighters had exchanged a few inconsequential blows the challenger suddenly aimed a right hand punch that landed squarely on Jack's chin. His knees sagged. He seemed badly shaken up and dazed.

By all the cards of pugilism another good blow should have finished him. Jack'a Body Blows Tell. Carpentier did follow his advan tage by scoring four more times with rights and lefts. But the champion kept his wits." He managed to escape the full force of the blows and remained on his feet i In this round Dempsey was nearer to losing his title than at any time since he won the championship, with the exception of the occasion when Firpo knocked him from the ring. The stanza, of course, was the Frenchman's.

But it was the only one he captured. When the third round started Carp acted a little weak. The body punches had commenced to tell on him. Carp tried to work uppercuts. He attempted at least half a dozes of them, but missed them all.

This nettled him. Dempsey continued the midsection attack and when A a a a i a inH ataTn at fJmiK track $130,000 by Willis Sharpe Kilmer, its the round ended the Frenchman walked to his corner in wobbly tasnion. The fourth and final round hat hardly gotten under way before the Frenchman was on the floor for tht trst time. A left under the heart, landed with full force, did the trick. Carp surprised me by getting to his feet at the count of nine.

Quickly Dempsey repeated the one two and this time Carp dropped for good His head was clear, and his legs all right, but his torso was paralyzed. He was unable to lift his arms. Just before Dempsey had put on the finishing touches Carp had made a last effort by aiming a vicious right at his jaw. which missed. Dempsey meanwhllo was walking around, contrary to instructions, which were that the man who scored a knockdown was to go to the corner nearest him during the count Right here Dempsey could have been legitimately disqualified if I had cared to take advantage of a technicality.

I ordered Jack' to a corner and he went to Carp's. Frenchman Long Out. When I finished the count Cars was still helpless. His manager jumped into the, ring. I helped him to seat the beaten fighter on his stool.

He was in a bad way and it took a lot of rubbing on the part ot his seconds, Charlie Ledoux and Trainer Wilson, to revive him so that he could leave the ring. uempsey congratulated me on the manner in which I refereed and Carp murmured "a'right" when I shook his hand. Demppsey then called me over and asked me to cut the. lacings that tied his gloves to his wrists. "Please give these gloves 4 to Mayor Hague I promised them to him." Neither fighter said a word to me during the scrap.

It was the cleanest and fastest bout between big men that I had ever refereed, or ever saw, for that matter. I think that if Dempsey returns to the ring and meets Harry Willa he'll whip him even quicker than he did Carp or Firpo, as I think both of these men have stouter fighting hearts than the famous negro. I saw Firpo fight Wills last year and if Harry were not timid he would have scored a knockout even quicker than did Dempsey. He has everything that goes to make a great fighter except a fighting heart He's not aggressive enough. Dempsey would tear him to pieces from the start and it would not surprise me if he put him away in a round.

You cant be chicken hearted and fight Dempsey. He's always taking a chance. He was so disgusted with Wills showing in his fight with Looie at Boyle's that he left In the early rounds. He didn't figure there was much to study about Wills. I hope I am chosen to referee, tho, if Dempsey and Wills meet, because there's been so much public ity over it thatjt would draw even bigger than Dempsey and Carp did.

to HUSKERS TAKE THE SECOND AMES GAME In a pitchers battle, Beryl Lang, big Husker right hander, won the second and last of the series with Iowa state college at Rock Island park Tuesday afternoon, 1 to 0, after squeezing out of several tight places. Lang fanned better than "Choppy" Rhodes, who, in the first game with the Cyclones, Monday, struck out twenty one men in fifteen innings and then lost the game on errors. 5 to 3. The big Hunker struck out sixteen men. The Iowa state pastimers garnered five hits off Lang but he kept them scattered and tightened so well in the pinches that not a Cyclone runner could get to the home plate.

This is Lang's eighth straight win in Missouri valley conference games, having won five last year and three straight this season. Lang's arm was not in the best of condition Tuesday but he pitched a beautiful game. Wright, on the mound for Ames, had the Husker batters guessing with his curves, and held them to three hits. The only score of the game came In the first Inning when Captain Janda, Husker second sacker, crossed the plate. Janda was the first man up, after the Huskers had put Ames out in one, two three order, Lang striking out two Cyclone batters.

Wright walked Janda. He went to second when Patton went out, Hill to Jarobson, and stole third. Smaha hit out, with a long fly to center, and Janda beat McCracken's throw to the home plate. Andreson hit an easy one to Wright who threw him out at first. Atre ab Hill.

NEW YORK, May 6. "OJd Fellow, me? Why I'm just getting old enough to fight," Johnny Dundee, veteran of more than 600 fights over a career of sixteen years, said here today. To the veteran' Dundee, former featherweight and Junior lightweight champion of the world had been given the commission of writing last night the final entry in the history of Madison Square Garden. Dundee was beaten in a 12 round fight by Sid Terris, a youth from the tenements of the East Side, who was in his first pair of knee when the venerable Dundee started fighting. Terris won on points from a one handed old man of the ring but the moral victory went all to the veteran Dundee whose wise head and stout heart caused a pile of money be lost by those who had bet even money that he would be knocked out.

Dundee never was in danger of having his career ended with a knockout but he was not able to catch up with the scored by a younger and faster man.
