Two swell singles by Marty Krug and Ward Miller, two beautiful hectic heaves by Doc Manser and Hank Butcher, of the hated opposition and a neat and nifty double steal by Ward Miller and Fin 'ardley, enabled the le luxe Rourkes to trounce the pesky Grizzlies 2 to 1 yesterday afternoon, and thus make it .fifty-fifty on the four-game scries. Owing to the chill in the atmos phere, or the amateurs or something or other, the number of cash 'cus tomers, yesterday did not reach the usual Sabjath total, but those who were on the job got their money's worth. The ball game was nicely played and interesting and Umps Hush pulled some stage stuff that made tnc nialinee all the more enjoy able. In the. first half of the" opening clana, Jush and Kourke staged a ton-minute argument, much to the amusement of the customers. A flock of the Denver athletes 'were perched on top ot their bench and threatened to cave in the roof. In these days of high expenses- and slim receipts, Pa (liil not care to incur a' carpenter's bill because of the carelessness of the Denver athletes. He asked Bush to remove -them, which the umps did.' Tries to Move Pa. Now it so happens Pa has a grand stand chair on which he sits while d recting the game, right next to the Omaha bench. Hartzell, Denver boss nagged Hush into telling Pa to vamou.se inside the dugout, which Pa refused to do on the grounds that his chair scat way part of the bench. For ttn minutes " Pa and "Bush ' chewed the well known rag while the fans chortled in theirglee. Finally, Hugh Jones took a hand and said Pa could occupy his seat so the game went on after Bush had consulted his watch a couple of dozen times. Banishes Nye. Again in the fifth inning, Otto Nye stole home. He made it hands down as. Shesrdc hasn't touched him yet, but Bush called him but Nye said "what for" so Bush, who evidently has ' taken "less'ons in elocutipn and is proud of his ability along this line, waved his arms a la. Francis Bush man and roared "out of the park. Bush's reasons for his act were somewhat indistinct and puizling to the spectators, but no matter the t tunt added to the afternoon s amuse ment. . Score in First. "' The Rourkes made the two runs which won the game in the opening stana. After Cooney whiffed, Krug singled to left and took second when Doc Manser made a wild aha futile throw to catch him napping at first. Ward Miller cracked a single to left and Hank Butcher made the mistake of his ilife by trying to cut down Krug at the plate. The ball hit the grandstand with the result that Marty scored standing up and Miller beat it to third. Shaw whiffed, but Yardley drew a walk and then Yard and Miller pulled a double steal with Ward on the scoring end. Denver made her lone tally in the eighth. Hartzell doubled to center, took third on McCormick's single to right and scored when Shcstak forced McCormick at second with a grounder to Cooney., Merzliurled a fine game of ball. He allowed but five hits and did not is- o2! - ,v, I" , f . , ,.. ,.-.... . ."' , "j '"" " ' 1 " " - - ' . ' . ' . I,.,-., siwr a pass. Today, Joplin comes to Omaha for a series of four games.

Aug. 12 With the ! :W trot, in which, the season s two unbeaten trotters, Mack Forbes, 2:08, and The Woodman, 2:06'4, will lock horns, as the big opening feature, the secend North Randall Grand Circuit meeting of this season is scheduled to open tomorrow. In addition to the 2:09 trot, which has nine starters, the ooenine card is composed of the 2:07 pace, with ten; tne ;ews -year-old trotting sweep stakes, in which the six crack babv trotters of the year will match speed, and the 2:17 pace, with five contest ants. , Mack Forbe has won eight straight races. The Woodman has a string pf seven victories. They are hailed as the two trotting sensations of 1917. , While each has losf heats, neither has dory so unless through a break. Both have shoyvn sensational nights of speed' and horsemen seem about equally divided as to their rela tive merits. This race is expected to be . one of the biggest speculative events of the entire season. f The Cause of Constipation. Constipation is usually due to a lack of water in the excrement. To effect a cure you must take more water into the system. It may be months, however, before this has any appreciable effect on the bowels, but when persisted in and fruit and vege tables containing water are eaten free ly the condition may be overcome. In the meantime use the mildest laxa tives obtainable and take only enough j to produce the desired effect. Cham- I berlain's Tablets are one of the best. ! They are easy to take and most j agreeable in effect. ; SOX TAKE LONG ONE FROM INDIAN TRIBE Chicago and Cleveland Battle for Thirteen Innings Before Four-to-Three Victory Is Won.

GERMANY FAVORS HINDENBURG PEACE Catholic Centrist Party Changes Its Views After Re cent German Victories in the East. . Copf nliagert, Aug 12. The, Catho lic Centrist party in the Reichstag, which through the party's organ Ger mania, announced it was satisfied with the cahinet arrangements of Dr. George Michaelis, the imperial chan cellor, and desired no further conces sion to parliamentary government is suspected by the progressive ' news papers of having lost much of its in terest in the peace resolution. The Pan-German newspapers open ly boast that a considerable part of the Reichstag centrists have expert enced a change of heart under the iri tiuence ot tne uerman victories in the east and now are in favor of the so-called Hindenburg peace. They call- on him to enforce this program in foreign affairs as the chancellor's constitutional duty and prerogative. The Pan-German press is led to take this stand not only by Dr. Michaelis attitude since the Reichstag met with him but by his conferences with Field Marshal Von Hindenburg. PHOTOPLAYS.

When the wizard of the screen tells you that a pic tur is gTeat, you are bound to expect something, but even then I was pleasantly disappointed.

I'm candid in saying to you we've paid more for pictures,, but I'll also say that we never had, one that "delivered the goods" any more than this. This picture is only on today that's why I'm taking this extra ad asking you to come, but PLEASE DO COME, even '. if you pass up some other picture here, because every time you see an extra fine .subject, you become just that better photoplay fan, and I'll be honest that's what I'm after.

Exempt Un less Families Would Other wise Become Burdens , . on the State. (By Associated Press.) Washington, Aug. 12. Renewed emphasis was laid by Provost Marsha! General Crowder today upon the fact that congress framed the army draft law, in the interest of the nation, not the. individual. For that reason the lines are . being drawn tight ' in the matter of exemptions, , '' The government has acted slowly in. bringing home to the people the rigid character of the act. There his been much discussion of the exemp tion problem.: based on1 an erroneous view of the law's purpose, which 'as sumed -that married men, for instance, would be .exempted without question and that the burden of the military duty ;wa! to be carried fully by the single men among the 10,000,000 regis tered... , : ', ..'..;.- General Crowaer has taken the po sitidn 'in recent ruling that married men will be exempted only; when -it is to the interest of. the government that they .should be excused from service..' If the rernoval of the drafted man from his "family circle probably would result in '.he family becoming" a public burden it is to the interest of the government to leave him in his .civil. occupation so he can care for liis dependents... ' , ," ' . ' "- 'u ',; Restrictions Are Tightened. ' ' An interpretation similarly rigid has now been pla.ced.upon exemptions for industrial reasons.' The government has taken : the lead in scrutinizing closely individual cases among its em ployes before asking that they be ex empted..
