ROURKES BEATEN
IN TIGHT CONTEST
Peculiar Work in Field, Aided
by Umpire's Decision, Results
in Five-to-Three Victory
for Ducklings. .
Lincoln, " Neb., Sept. 1. (Special
. Telegram.) -Omaha's ghastly work
in the field allowed the Ducklings to
get an even split on the series here
today, Lincoln winning the final
game, 5 to 3, because of peculiar play
m the ninth inning, which checked
rally. '
- Errors by Lincoln had put Thomp
son, Nye and Merz , on the paths,
with none down. The Lincoln infield
was drawn in" and, Cooney lifted a
Texas leaguer toward "short. It was
apparently good for a hit, but Berg
hammer, by a brilliant catch, man
aged to gather it in and doubled Nye
at second. Williams' grounder made
the third out,
- Rourke contends Umpire Brown
should have called Cooney out on an
infield fly. Brown claims he could not
call Cooney out, because the "popup"
had all of the earmarks of a hit.
Omaha scored first in the fifth in
ning, when Shag Thompson drove
out a triple to left and scored on
Nye's single. Williams counted in
the ext inning, when Lober mis
judged his long drive to right and
it went for a triple. A sacrifice fly
brought him home. -
The Rourkes' final tally came in
the eighth inning on singles by
Cooney and' Williams and Selk's er
ror on Shaw's grounder.
Shaw had a bad day in the field,
mussing up three chances, while his
teammates added three more to the
Rourkes' total.

MAT GIANTS CLASH
IN OMAHA TONIGHT
Joe Stecher and Marin Plestina
to Battle for Wrestling Su-,
premacy at Auditorium
This Evening.
Marin Plestina, Omaha's heavy
weight champion, and Joe Stecher,
the pride and joy of Dodge county,
clash tonight at the Omaha Audi
torium in a finish wrestling match.
Both Plestina and Stecher have
Ubeen training hard for this match and
both are confident of victory.
"I expect to win," said Stecher. "I
realize Plestina is a toueh man to
beat and I anticipate a hard ma sell,
Dut I am confident of victory.
"I am positive I will defeat
Stecher," Plestina was equally confi
dent. "I have been waiting for over
a year to get-Stecher into a ring with
me and now that I have him he shall
not escape. His scissors will not
bother me and I will throw him just
as sure as he enters the ring."
Odds on the match Kreatlv favor
Stecher. Followers of the Dodge
phenom offer odds of 6 to 5 and 7
to 5, but Plestina supporters are de
manding 2 to 1 and better. The
Dodge men, however, refuse to take
the long risks and there has been very
little betting.
J he match is attracting wide atten
tion. Upon it depends the fate of
both Stecher and Plestina.
If Stecher wins hewill vindicate
himself for his defeats at the hands
of Olin md Caddck and his support
ers will once more line up behind the
Dodge man and back htm against all
comets, it lie loses his star sets and
his Dodge county farm is his only
refuge.
Victory for Plestina will make
the Omaha man. Plestina has been
coining to the front with great strides
the last two years. He has earned
victories over Stranglef Lewis, Jack
Taylor, Ad Santel, Henry Ordeman,
frred Beell, Hob Managolf and others.
If he wins Plestina will be regarded
as a real championship contender. If
he loses it will be back to Illinois and
a job in the stone quarry.
The scheduled preliminary between
Charlie Peters and Jack Meyers has
been called off. Another prelim will
be substituted.
Soldiers of the Dandy Sixth quar
tered at the Auditorium will be guests
of Jack Lewis at the match. A num

COOKS IND. S. NAVY
Men Who Feed Bluejackets
Most Popular Among Per
sonnel of Fleet; Work
Pleasant.
The United States navy has issued
a special appeal for men "who can j:ook
to enlist in that branch of the serv
ice. The 4ay is rather higher than
most branches, the work is pleasant,
and the cook on a ship is easily the
most popular man of the personnel.
The officer in charge of the Ne
braska and South Dakota district for
the1 navy announced yesterday . that
the department is looking t!a this dis-
i i. . i . --l: r
men, who can cook for the navy. It
is the hcrnesteader and the miner, the
man who knows how to take care
of himself in the open who knows
the science and art of cooking and
its importance in keeping up the
fighting spirit. Especially is the man
who can take care of the cooking
end of a small town restaurant de
sirable.
The usual -hours for a' ship's cook
are dividend np so that lie works one
day and rests the next or, three
meals on and three off.
The best of material is furnished
to work with and the pay is exception
ally good, the salary ranges from
$35.50 to $66.50 a month. This is in
additions to all clothing, food, rent,
medical attention and other "expenses.
Experts have estimated that the liv
ing expenses furnished a cook in the
United States navy is equal to . $50
a month in civilian life. The United
States navy is the highest paid serv
ice in the world.
Any one wanting to enlist as a cook
should go to the navy station at either
Omaha, Sioux Falls, S. P.; Aberdeen,
S. D.; Watertown, S. D.; Lead, S.
D.; Hastings, Neb.: Lincoln, Neb.:

tion there, free transportation will be
furnished you to Omaha, where the

meals will be furnished you to the
substation from where you started.

TURKISH WOMEN ARE
UP ON NEWFREEDOM
Government IJdict Orders Them
to Go Back to Old Custom of
Wearing Veils and Long
Sleeves in Public.
Turkish women are no longer tL
'own-trodden beings we have always
thought them, according to Mrs. Har
land Clarke Wods, lately ot Con
stantinople, who arrived in Omaha
Friday from Constantinople to visit
her sister, Mrs. Doane Powell, 2149
South Thirty-third street.
"Part of their emancipation is" due
to the war," said Mrs. Woods, "but
much of it was already begun before
the war started and the war helped
it along. Turkish women no longer
submit to their personal affairs being
directed by a government of men.
"For instance, not long before I
left Turkey there came an edict from
the government saying the women
had been 'too free' lately. That is,
they had been rc'ng about with their
sleeves rolled up to the elbows and
their veils raised if they wore any
at all.
"The older men, in what corre
sponds to the British Parliament, de
cided this would not do at all. There
fore they issued a command that
women were to appear in the market
place only if they wore heavy veils
and long sleeves down to their wrists.
Women Protest Edict.
"In the old days of Abdul Hamid
this would have been meekly submit
ted to. But not now. The women
protested. They gathered in groups
on the street and made demonstra
tions against the new ruling.
"In fact, they made so much trou
ble over the matter that the edict was
rescinded. Now the women go
dressed as .they please in Constanti
nople. However, most of them pre
fer to wear at least a thin veil. But
not a hot thick one. And, since they
wear long gloves, they see no neces
sity of wearing long hot sleeves also."
"Well, that is going to greater
lengths than the AmericanwomenP
exclaimed one who heard Mrs.
Woods. "We don't gather on the
street corners to protest against a
law we dislike."
"Ah, that is because you are Amer
ican women and there is no need for
you .to," smiled Mrs. Woods. "Amer
ican women have more freedom and
happiness than any others on the
globe, s
Greater Freedom to Come.
"The war will bring greate free
dom to the women of the East," said
Mrs. Woods. "When we win the
w,ar it will mean an influx of western
influence.
"There will be more American
schools, more American missions and
these will bring western ideas to all.
It is already becoming quite thrash
ion to educate the Turkish girls as
the American girls are. I know many
Turkish families of the younger gen
eration and they are delightful peo
ple, cultured and with a home life
much like that of our own."
