i Moon has broken loose with an a which will put a keen cdtio on the enthusiasm and interest of Lincoln baseball bugs. The man who is reconstructing the street mill park. Ijy way of preparing for a season of the semi-pro pustim- ing article, related today he had inaugurated negotiations for an exhibition game in Lincoln between tho world's champion White Sox of Chicago and Pa llourkc's Western league agiires-a- from Omaha. Moon took note in The of the fact a the St. Jos- ti'ph mamsement had down the 'chance to bring the Sox to Joetown, so he got busy today on a to entice the Sox into stopping off in Lincoln.

He will phone today to Omaha to bid for "the appearance of Hourkes and if that end of the dicker goes through satisfactorily, the, proposition will be put up to Charles A. Comif-key, of the Whie Sox. A White Sox-Omaha, exhibition appeal to the fans and Pull crowd to street resort. Moon explained today that it would not be 3 a i venture on his part. In fact, lie said he would offer the Sox and Rourkes free ground rent, and that he was only hoping Comiskey and Hourke would accept and thus enable him to make a positive an' rouncement that Lincoln has landed i proposed game.

The Sox have finished their spring training tour in Texas and beaded for the being hilled to play in Parsons, Wichita, Hutchinson and, possibly, Topeka. The date offered St. Joseph was next Monday. Moon will bid for either next kMonday, Tuesday or Wednesday and figures the work of re-constructing 'the street park will be so near to completion by i as to i him in going a a professional bill for earlv next week.

Thomas, I i 1.. A A i a British Champion Lowered His Colors to Butcher Boy 168 Years Ago Today. On a i uiornins? I years ago to- a A i 10, a biff r-i-owd of men aiKl I'OJ-B pothered iu Oxford Road, London, ami swarmed around rude but roomy edifice just behind that thoroughfare. Some of them had tione-d 'themselves at the- entrance of the i i before sunrise, and ers kept coming i at i o'clock a wild indicated a the doors had been swung open. A 2.500 of the men paid in their money and were, a i The remainder were for lack of room, and police a to beat buck the disappointed thousands to make a path for the nobles and rich men and a officers came in shortly before The building' was Jack Bronghton's amphitheatre, and the owner, who had held tho i i i championship of Kn.glnnd for several years, was about to risk his i in a a i a former Norwich butcher named Slack.

For several years RroufrlHon lio'l been out of the ring, and had devoted his talents to teaching boxing to others to promoting matches between fighters of lesser fame. Now he was to risk his pre-eminence in Hie pugilistic world by fighting one of his own pupils. The amphitheatre had a ring- in the center, and around this was a pit. where the rabble was accommodated. Elevated above the pit wore the boxes, the only part of the building roofed' in.

and there assembled many of the greatest lords of England. In royal box sat the Duke of Cumberland, a. member of the royal family, and the patron of Jack Broughton. The Duke was there with a wad a would choke an elephant, to rc- soi to modern phraseology, and he accepted, every offer of wager. Slack was comparatively unknown, and had been whipped by George Taylor, from whom Broiiphton hivl won the title, so there was i Slack money in sight before the battle began.

As soon as the champion entered the ring, jhowever, it was observed that he looked soft and that he had not trained properly for the bout. Immediately many men offered bets on Slack, and the Duke of Cumberland covered most of thpir bets. Broughton fought gamely, pitting all his science and skill against his rushing antagonist, but the batcher's terrible blows wore him down, and in the fourteenth round Broughton was unable to come up tp the -scratch. Slack was champion and Broughton was a fallen idol. Incidentally, the Duke of Cumberland dropped some considerable wad.

Wheat has refused to accept I an offer of more money" a he. ro- ceived in 1914 mid demands in ex- I cess of the Brooklyn terms for the I coming season. Wheat received more than $5.000 last year, according to reports he didn't play in forty- five games because of a game leg. Tet the Brooklyn club paid him in full. It is further said that Ebbets loaned money to Wheat to enable him to build a home out west, and wasn't particular when Wheat repaid the sum.
