RALLY IN NINTH
WINS FOR DODGE;
SCORE FIVE RUNS
Tom Sheehan Holds Hourkes to
Four Scattered Hits and
Mates Hammer Home
Victory.
Lesj than 1,000 fans saw the 35lst
field hospital division base ball team
of Camp Dodge wallop the Roukes
6 to 1 at IJouke jpark yesterday after-
noon.
The hesitancy of the well known
sun,' raw atmosphere coupled with
the -dissappoiiitment of Earl Caddock
and Mike Gibbons took a swift rap
at the attendance.
Mr. Thomas Sheehan, late of
Connie Mack's hurling corps, was the
principal reason for the Rouke de
feat. Mr. Shecan was in rare form
and four scattered hits was all the
enjoyment he permitted Jackson's
ftts. .
Then in the ninth stanza with the
game a tie, the Camp Dodge ganged
three of their five hits. One of them
was a -triple when the bases were
loaded. Five runs and the Rourkes
were whitewashed.
n. ... p:!i.4
i MIC fllicu.
Alase on balls started the fire
works in the ninth. On an attempted
sacrifice, Lingle threw wild to first.
Another sacrifice was attempted and
this time Fuhr committed the faux
pas. He tried to catch the runner at
third and was late. Thus were the
bases filled with no outs.
Then came the tripple. Jimmy
Tierney, recently snared from the
Kansas City club and a one time
Rourke, manufactured , the hit. It
.wae beautiful blow which went clear
to the right field fence. Three runs.
Ewoldt Singles.
Art Ewoldt, member of the champ
ionship Des Moines team last year,
scored Tierney with a single and
wayiand Jims, formerly a catcher
with Cedar Rapids, scored Ewoldt
with another hit.
The Camp Dodgers scored one
run in the fifth off Corey with a
- walk, sacrifice and hit.
Omaha's lone talley was counted
on a double by Bill Jackson followed
by Donica's single.
The other two Rourke hits were
nade by Pratt and Defate. Pratt's
as a double.

WET GROUNDS CUT
DOWN NUMBER OF
AMATEUR GAMES
Crowds on the Bleachers of
the City Lots Are Well Paid,
, for Fairly Good Games
Are Put Up.
, By Frank Quigley.
Keen foresight on the part of
General Earl Higgins, the boss of the
Greater Omaha league, made it pos
sible for the members of this league
to massage the ivories yesterday
afternoon with fear of being molested
in event the sky evinced signs of a
clear complexion, while the snow, rain
and chilly breezes made it disagree
able for the pedestrians Saturday aft
ernooti, the aforementioned leader
cancelled the contests scheduled in the
major league of the association.
Although the sun broke loose yes
terday afternoon it would have been
a difficult task to fix the enclosed
parks in condition for a high-class
brand of base hall. Anyway the
magnates of this league were well
pleased with the decision of the
leader.
Couldn't Digest This.
Said decision could not be digested
by the pill hoisters in class B and C
as a consequence, president Jacob
Isaacson of the association was
aroused from his hayland of dreams
at an early hour. The alarm on the
conversation machine put his trip to
sliimherland on the blink. Inquiries
relative to the condition of the
municipal lots greeted him. So many
called that Jaccob deemed it advis
able to harness up his gas cart and
investigate the condition of the
various diamonds. This he immedia
telw did. He then instructed the
various managers that all the mills
billed for 3:30 p. m. could be played
but ordered all the debates booked
for 1:30 p. m. cancelled. However
some of the boys inoculated with the
base ball fever failed to obey the
orders and some of the 1:30 p. m.
games were reeled off.
City League in Procession.
The City league joined the pro-t
cession yesterday, but failed to chalk
the mark as expected. Although the
Walter G. Clarks through their man
ager at the last meeting promised
allegiance to the City league, never
theless the Clarks failed to show tip
for their battle with the Stags. In
all probability this squad will sodder
the leaks by next Sunday and the
City league will sail up easy street
thereafter. A coat of whitewash
was a gift of the Woodmen of the
World hunch to the Morris & Co.
smellville crew.
Games All Played.
All of the debates booked in the
Booster league were jerked off, the
best mix of which was thj 3"to 2
jangle between the Daily News and
Phillips Department Store. An eye
sore duel was delivered by the
Krajicek Juniors and the Social Set
tlement Juniors. The KrajecikS
proved to be the long distance dudes,
amassing 17 pearls while the opposi
tion hauled in a quartet.
Two jamborees comprised the busi
ness transacted in the Booster league.
The J. B. Roots rooted up 12 runs,
running away from the Harley David
sons with 10 counters to the good.
Score Was Close.
The Tomaneks changed their
monicker to the Parsley Commission
Co., and took a close row from the
Rig-gs Optical Co., score 6 to S.
Calvert, a graduate from Class C
to Class B, proved to be the kinking
hero of the day for the Woodmen of
the World against the Morris & Co.
He struck 'out 13 and only allowed
three scattered hits.
Managers, especially the ones that
reside in south town, are requested to
report the score of their game to the
writer before 7 p. m. over Douglas
2256. It cost a jit to commune with
south town and the writer is not
bubbling over with maiuma.
been men who are now seniors. The
highest individual point getter is a
cause of much speculation and no cer
tainty. Noble, Maxwell, Logan, and
Paynter are the four around whom
the talk centers. (
The junior class with Noble as their
hope are expected to finish a fairly
close second. McConney i has also
shown up well in the 44Vyard dash.
The sophs are trusting to their cap
tain A. Logan to 'mark up a few
points. The fresjiies have the weak
est team both in number , and in
rability. '
. Nelson recently arrived from Ne
braska City, is expected to make a
good finish in the, mile. The shot put
will lie between Noble for the juniors
and Carson and Chris Crowell of the
fourth year men. Maxwell and A.
Logan will probably clash for honors
in the discuss throw. The hurdles are
regarded as a means of several sure
counters for the seniors.

AT THE
"The Passing Show of 1917" at the
Boyd.
Let us begin this passing; brief
chonicle of last night's happenings at
the Boyd by stating one resonant
fact. JJeWolf Hopper established the
record of enthusiasm for the evening
by a patriotic address between acts.
He spoke as a citizen of the United
States, thoroughly aroused against the
Hun, and earnestly invoked his hear
ers to the utmost endeavor to aid in
winning the war. Purchase of bonds,
savinps stamps and the like, donation
to Red Cross and other funds, buying
smileage books and J1 such effort will
help, but that is not enough. Every
man any every woman must inhale
and exhale patriotism with every
breath, must consecrate themselves to
winning the war. Mr. Hopper's force
ful words were frequently interrupted
by applause, and his conclusion was
followed by a tumult.
The show itself is typically Winter
Garden. It overflows with girls in
all sorts of "costumes, exudes nonsense
in great gobs, and mingles mirth and
music in endless but swiftly changing
form. At times it is turbulent, again
its purls along most sweetly, but it
never is somnolent, never gets into an
eddy, and finally winds up with a Hail
Columbia Liberty episode that really
does justice to a topic that is often
misused.
DeWolf Hopper, Johnny Dooley,
Mildred Elaine and Emily Miles
literally "kid the life" out of "The
Wanderer," with a burlesque in which
the son comes home broke, but honest,
and the daughter goes forth to bring
the family some return for its money
by getting involves in a scandal. Hop
per as the male vampire and Dooley
as the voluptuous dancing siren make
enough fun out of this to repav for
the evening's time. "The Willow
Tree" is handled similarly by the
merry mummers, who give themselves
over to unrestrained liberties with the
thought of the more serious author,
and get many good laughs out of the
result.
Chick Sale gets away big with his
Sunday school entertainment, and Al
White, James Mack, John Miller, Earl
Higley and Rosie Quin put in many
good licks, dancing, singing and
otherwise entertaining the multitude.
As to the chcrus, it is just what the
public has come to expect of a Winter
Garden show, good looking girls cos
tumed to show their chsfrms in best
light. The stage pictures are all
good, some charming, and the harem
scene massive and impressive, while
the set use for the "Willow Tree"
burlesque is daintily charming. The
music runs all the way from an allur
ing waltz to the jazziest jaz that can
be produced. The Boyd was crowded
last night by folks who enjoyed the
affair from start to finish.
Vaudeville at the Orpheum.
To bestow endorsement upon the
current bill at the Orpheum it is al
most enough to say that John Hyams
and Leila Mclntyre occupy the head
line position. These old favorites
alwavs have and al wave will cfril-A o
I popular chord and receive a generous
welcome in Umaha.
"Maybloom" is the title of the
delightful little playlet in which this
talented couple appears this week.
The scene is in an artist's studio.
Miss Mclntyre is a quakeress who is
attempting her first experience as a
model. Mr. Hyams is a friend of the
artist who happens to be absent when
the quakeress appears and she mis
takes Hyams for the artist. The
confusion which follows makes pos
sible many delightful situations which
Miss Mclntyre and Mr. Hyams make
the best. M1SS Mclntyre sings two
clever, tuneful songs in the distinc
Jy ,,ndml"al manner which has
made her such a popular musical
comedy and vaudeville attraction and
Air. Hyams provides most of the
numor in his clever way.

and monologist, manhandles Cupid in

Promises of the Press Agents.
Boyd One of the outstanding traits of
Mme. Maude Powell, who comes to the
Boyd theater Thursday night, April 25, for
a violin recital programme, Is that she has
a faculty for making comrades of her aud
ience. Furthermore, she produces a violin
tone that seems to reflect her own happy
personality. Mme. Powell Is one of the
great violinists of the world. She ranks
with the greatest International artists of
either sex, and her position as formost wo
man violinist of the world has never been
questioned.
Gayety Not one whit over-drawn is the
character of "Spike," as played by the
eminent vaudevillian Edward Hayes with
"Some Show'' at the Gayety this week. His
prototype may be seen in every day life
times without number. Thomas Snyder, In
support of Mr. Hayes, makes his "Bozo''
inexpressibly funny and at the same time
Intelligible, though he never utters a word
during the entire performance. Their
particular sketch, "The Piano Movers," Is
quite the funniest thing seen at that house
In many a moon. Barney Gerard has given
the production a most lavish mounting.
