Buffaloes Drop Straight Game of Series to Denver by 1 to 0 Score Her!) Hall Bests "‘Bill * Bailev in Pitchers’ Battle: — Omaha Hurler Whiffs 10 of Mile High Crew—Bear Twirler Given ^ on <lerfnl Support. ISv RALPH WAGNER. » SI N G 1 to 0 games it getting to he quite a fail with those Omaha Buf faloes. Thursday the Denver Bears for tile second straight time nosed out a 1 to 0 victory over the Buffaloes in nine innings of good base bull. For tile second time in as many days tho Bears have scored their winning run In the eightli inning. Those Buffaloed have went runless for 18 innings and are due to score a few runs them selves In tills afternoon's doube lieader. Like Wednesday, j’esterday’s game was another one of those pitchers’ battle*. "Bill" Bailey of Omaha and Herbert Hall, tall, husky Herbert of Denver were the contestants In this duel and again we are forced to give the opposing liurler the credit of hurling the best ball from start to finish. ' Hall was right Thursday if he ever Was right in his life. Herbert held the Buffaloes to two very stingy •Ingles, one coming In the first Inning and another In the fifth. He struck out five and walked three, but when It came to bearin' down on the ball he was there and over. The Buffaloes managed to put a man on second base In the first, third, fifth and sixth Innings, and In the eighth Thompson got around to third, but home base was as far away from the Herd as Omaha Is from the North pole if you know now how far that is. Hall was given good support, especially from Gorman, sec ond baseman, who made half dozen good stops during the afternoon, "Bill" Bailey didn't do so bad. He struck out 10 batters and pulled him self and companions out of a hole in the seventh Inning that more than pleased the customers. The base* were loaded and two down when the Omaha hurler whiffed Gorman for the third strike. In tOie fatal eighth Bailey weakened Just etnough to permit the Bears to score thier winning run. After Berger flew out to Bonowltz in centerfo ld, Falk singled. It was the fourth hit Bailey allowed and was the start cf the successful Denver rally.

De\il Girl aleo ram Cooper, Nebraska Boy, Picked to Vi in Speedway Event Has Participated in Ovei Thousand Races—Retired Two Years Ago hut Re turns as Relief Driver. Special Dispatch t« The Omaha Be*. Indianapolis, lnd„ May 29.—A No jbraska farmer’s boy may be the win ner of the annual International 500 mile motor classic at the Speedway here, May 20. Up Is Karl Cooper, called the "Kit tle Napoleon of the racing track. ' who will pilot the new robin egg blue Studebaker Special, In the coming race between 22 of the world s fast est motor cars. Nebraskans, who are arriving here In motor caravans for the race, are clustering about the grandstand these days, clocking Cooper as he steams down the track at better than 100 miles an hour, tuning up his mount. For Earl Is Nebraska-born and bred. He was born on a farm in Marion county, Nebraska, and learn ed his first lesson In piloting under speed, when he was given the task of following a walking plow around his pa's "South 40.” Cooper has learned a bit more in hitting a fast pace, since those days , in a Nebraska cornfield. Track officials today estimated that he has participated in 1,000 au tomobile races in his 14 years on the track* of the country. He has won about 300 races on tha dirt tracks. For two years he was A. A. A. "speed king." That was in the days when he was a first placer along with such stars as Barney Oldfield, Dario Resta, Gil Anderson, Johnny Aitken. Tom Rooney. He was equally at home in sizzling road races and specially con structed speedways. Two years ago he went into retirement on the Pacific coast. He decided he'd live the more serene life of a business man. But one day, while attending an important race at Fresno, Cal., he jumped into Joe Thomas' car, after Thomas was stricken with appen dices and had to submit to a track side operation. Cooper came back. He won the race. Last year he was second in the Fourth of July race at Kansas City. He was also second at Bever ly Hills In 1922. In 1915 he was fourth in the speedway race here. Cooper, a student, modest, sunny natured Nebraskan, spends all of his waking time these days, tuning up his Studebaker Special. He says this is going to be the climax of his rac ing career. ' Keep your field glasses on that Nebraska lad." say the railbirds i-sges, who hand out the "dope'' at the track. "He's got a mean look In his eyes.” I. S.
