ROURKES TAKE
THIRD STRAIGHT
FROM BOOSTERS
Kid Kopp Blanks Coffey's Men,
2 to 0, and Omaha Gets
Foothold on First
Place.
i Big league hurling by Kid Kopp,
'. coupled with excellent support bjrhis
comrades in arms, enabled Omaha to
i blank Des Moines 2 to 0 yesterday
. before a select ladies' day audience,
f The victory was the third straight
from the Boosters and the Rourkes
' now are tied for the leadership of the
; league.
Y Coffey's men could not solve the
baffling slants submitted by the
Peoria kid. Especially, in the pinches
was the youthful hurlcr strong. Sev
eral times the first Des Moines bats-
man negotiated first base in safety,
!. but could not cover the remaining
;. distance to the all-important rubber.
-. Nine Booster runners were stranded
' on the runway during the combat.
Delbern of the Boosters also
pitched good ball, but the Rourkes
were not to be denied and by some
clever base ball put over the two
runs which gave the game to our side.
t One in Fourth.
v The first Rourke counter was
registered in the fourth. Tony De-
fate started the inning with a cork
"'ing single to left. He was sacrificed
to second by Holderman. Breen
made a muss of Callahan's dinky
i prounder in front of the plate and
J Cal was safe at first and Tony
"Tscooted to third. Then Callahan
started a steal. Defate waited pa
tently at third until Breen threw
ito Hartford. When Hartford be
t gan to chase Callahan, Defate scamp
; cred home and made it standing up.
i The Omaha atllv was chalked tip in
the seventh. With two down, Donica
i singled and stole second and came
lome on mrttord s gaiety to center.
f Tcpekjj Takes Easy Game,
i Batting Bentley From Box
r Hutchinson, Kans., May 13. To
Tpeka had an easy time winning the
third game of the series, making it a
? clean sweep from Hutchinson today,
i to 1. Salisbury did not issue a walk
; and was never in trouble, keeping
5 :he hits scattered, the one run being
cored on Banner's two bagger. Bent
. 'ey was batted from the box, Davis
, relieving him. Hauger hit home
1 run. The score! ,"'

Fort Crook proved just a wee bit too
much for the Lincoln Cleaners and
Dyers, Lincoln's crack semi-pro. team,
Sunday. The Fort Crook lads won the
.combat, 9 to 8, and hammered Dusty
Miller, the lad the Lincoln fans believe
is soon to be the world's greatest
hurlcr, to all parts of the plant.
The Fort Crook, team wants a game
for May 26. Some out-of-town team
looking for a real combat can arrange
for a game by addressing Jack Pettus,

Retired Players Barred
; From Championship Games
Cincinnati, 0.,-May 13. All major
and minor base Sail league presidents
were notified today by the National
Base Ball commission to notify their
clubs that all championship games in
which a voluntarily retired player par
ticipates before his restoration to
good standing are illegal and hence
cannot be included in the record of
its league's championship games.
The commission stated, however,
that the right of voluntarily retired
players who are in the military or
naval service of the United States to
engage in games as members of teams
representing their post or department
is beyond question and as such they
may play against national agreement
clubs in benefit or exhibition games
prior to official restoration of their
names to the active list.

LEVIS AND PESEK
JOIN IN WRANGLE
OF RIVALS OF MAT
Strangler Demands First Crack
at Earl Caddock and Pesek
Offers to Wrestle Any
body Any Time.
New features in the muchly mud
dled wrestling situation continue to j
develop rapidly. Ed (Strangler) Lew-,
is has hopped into the controversy
and John Pesek is clamoring for ad
ditional action. J
Billy Sandow, manager of Strang
ler Lewis, demands that Caddock
wrestle his charge instead of Joe
Stecher July 4. The Sandow conten
tion is that Lewis has three times
wrestled Stecher sto a draw. This,
Sandow holds, gives the Strangler
equal rights with the Dodge lad.
But, Sandow declares, Lewis has an
additional claim as the leading con-
f tender for championship honors in
his defeat of Wladek Zybszko at
Louisville, Ky., last Friday night.
Saturday, a mild explosion occurred
in mat circles when Gene Melady,
Caddock's manager, told Joe Stecher
to first bept Zybszko before he asked
for a match with Caddock. Following
this startling announcement, Jack
Lewis came to bat with an offer for
a Stecher-Pesek match for Omaha
July 4. Now comes Lewis to demand
the right to meet Caddock. And
Lewis has done that which Melady
has told Stecher to first do he has
beaten- Zbyszko. Stecher wrestled
Zbyszko to a draw. .
Pesek Wants Action.
Now along comes Mart Slattery and
Barney Lichtenstein, the Siamese twin
combination handling the business af
fairs of John Pesek, with a cry for
more action. In behalf of the Buffalo
county grappler they have issued a
challenge to Caddock, Stecher and
Zbyszko, first come, first served, and
ready to take 'em all on any old time.
This-defy has found no response, but
it is possible a Pesek-Stecher match
will be arranged for Omaha in the
event the Caddock-Stecher negotia
tions fall through.
So this is the way the wrestling sit
uation stands today:
Earl Caddock tefls Joe Stecher to
first beat Zbyszko before asking for
a chance at the championship. .
Strangler Lewis demands a match
with Caddock before Stecher on the
grounds that he has beaten Zbyszko.
John Pesek challenges Caddock,
Stecher and Zbyszko, with no re
sponse. Jack Lewis makes offer for Pesek
Stecher match in Omaha July 4, with
parties concerned considering it.
The kettle is at the boiling point and
it threatens to bubble over before the
end of the week. Omaha is the storm
center at which the rival grapplers
are shooting and some important
events are schedule to happen in the
i Gate City before many days pass.

Don't Experiment with
It Often Leads
You Will Never Be Cured by
Local Treatment With Sprays
and Douches.
Catarrh is a condition of the blood
and can not be cured by local appli
cations' of sprays and douches; this
has been proven by the thousands
who have vainly resorted to this
method of treatment.
Catarrh should not be neglected
or experimented with. The wrong
treatment is valuable time lost, dur
ing which the disease is getting a
firmer hold upon ita victim, and mak
ing it more Miff icult for even the
proper treatment , to accomplish re
sults. Though Catarrh makes its first ap
pearance in the nostrils, throat and
air passages, the disease becomes
people who have been permanently eared.
