Germans Can't Get
Golf Balls from the
United States
BFIRLIN (Via London). Aug. Amer
ican business men ln Germany arc taking
a gloomy view of the fata of groat
quantities of goods ordered from the
United States about Christmas time. It
is said the loss of these goods will
amount to millions.
Orders amounting to $25,000,000 for such
wares as toys, Bohemian glassware,
bronzes, Christmas cards and optic il
specialties had been placed, mostly last
autumn, for summer delivery. It la
stated, this being the usual practice In
order to give the American wholesale
dealers an opportunity to place the
goods. The articles become virtually
valueless unless delivered Immediately.
However, the Rrl'tsh order-ln-cound',
although not effective when the order
for the goods were placed, have hastened
delivery.
American dentists, who constitute one
of the most numerous elements among
(the Americans ln Europe, also are suf
I fi ring under the war situation. This Is
j not on account of any anti-American
, feeling or any slackening In the demand
I1 for their services, but they are unable
to get artificial teeth from America,
From the lighter side, the order-ln-
council also is playing havoc with golf
fupi lies Golf ba Is and c'ubs are being
' exhausted rapidly, and ardent golfers ar
i objurgating England and planning an ap
peal to their fellow enthusiasts ln Amer
ica. Waco Cops Pennant
In Texas League
WACO, Tex., Aug. 28. Waco today won
the Texas leagisa pennant for 1916. With,
the cancellation of the Shreveport game
here today on account of rain, Waco had
a safe lead ever San Antonio and Dallas,
which will fight out the question of sec
ond place.
The league la finishing the season with
seven clubs, owlnif to the hurriane,
which caused the Galveston team to d's-band.

The Drexol Shoo company team, pen
nant winners In tho Mcrcantl.e league,
and the Brown I'ark Merchants, cham
pions of the City league, play for the
class B championship of Omaha next
Sunday. Tho Drexels won tho right to
combat tha Brown l'ark crew by defeat
ing the First Christians of tho Church
league yesterday, B to 1.
The Drexels found the church lnds easy
to dispose of. They put three runs over
In tho first round and that was enough
to win, but they kept right on until the
total of nine had been amassed.
Old Man Pluvltis tried his best to horn
ln and crab the doings, but again he was
thwarted. In all three city series games
played up to dato old Jup has taken a
hand, but he has never yet been able to
hinder tho enthusiastic amateurs.
Just be I ore tho game was about to start
a delugo began to fall, complotely soak
ing tho diamond. A couple of wagon loads
of sawdust was brought Into play ami
tho diamond was covered, whereupon tho
young athletes opened hostilities. B.lp
plng and skidding was frequent ln every
Inning and somewhat marred the battle.
Three Huns In First,
Tho Drexels counted their three rutis
in the i lrst inn ng eff a young man named
Wirt. Wirt has a foxy wlndup, but It
didn't frighten the Droxels. Koehler was
punctured by a pitched ball to start tho
siMism. Sherer flew out, O'Brien walked
and Dwarok fouled out. A walk was
Issued to Shields, choking the runway.
KreJIc sent a fly Into center field, which
Adnmson misjudged, and tt went for a
single. Tho three runners scored and
KieJIo fell down In the mud near first.
ln the third Inning a double by Sherer,
fol'.owetl by a similar two-pronged blow
by Shields, scored ono for the ahoe mon.
.ii ni tl Meals Two liana,
A hit and two stolon bases by Ournett
and a wild chuck by Brlzzi registered
one more In tho fourth,
Tho church lads annexed tholr lono

Tho Drexels chalked up four markers
In tho seventh on two hits. The hits
wero by Sherer and Dwarok. CotipUd
with this duo wero errors by Bilzsl, II.

runs.

Bluffs Tennis is
Postponed a Week
The Trl-Clty tennis tournament, which
wag to have started Saturday at the
Council Bluffs Rowing association, was
postponed on account of rain. Play will
start next Saturday, however. If a suf
ficient number of entries come In dur
ing the week. Only six Omaha players
have entered, bringing the list up to be
twenty-five players, and this has proved
disappointing to the committee ln charge,
which expected a list of over twenty
from here. If another ten or fifteen
players inter whla week, however, the
tourney will be staged anyway.
