Cub Owners Start
Season Just $700,000
:; Dollars In the Hole
A :'
The Cubs have turned out to be a
mighty expensive proposition. Presi
dent Weeghman ana his partners
have spent bags of money to promote
the " team in Chicago. They paid
$500,000 for the franchise in 1916. and
an additional $30,000 for players that
failed to make good.
Since last fall the Cub owners have
spent $50,000 for Alexander and Kil
lefer. $12,000 for Tyler. $10,000 for
Hollocher and $10,000 for Barber. Up
to this seascn the Cubs have lost a
lot of money in operating expenses,
so that when the pennant races began
in April it was roughly estimated that
the Chicago magnates were at least
$700,000 in the hole.

Escape Draft Board When
League Cashes in Chips
Salt. Lake City, July 13.-When
draft age members of the Vernon base
ball club of the Pacific Coast league
! responded to summons today before
a local draft board to show cause
why they should not engage in work
essential to the conduct of the war,
or be placed in Class 1-A of the se
lective draft, the board decided to not
examine them, in view of the fact
that the dub was about to disband.
A showing was made that the mem
bers of the team were engaged in es
eential occupations when the base ball
season ended, and the board decided
that no hearing was necessary and
dismissed the summons without mak
ing any record of the case.

Even Frank Kramer, Super-Bike
Rider, Couldn't Go On Forever
He couldn't go on forever. No
fellow can. Age slows up the fastest,
and a youngster comes along grab
bing off the laurels. For years and
years bicycle fans bad Frank Kramer
set down as the exception, the eternal
champion. They pictured Frank years
hence undefeated champion bicycle
racer, probably alto, the last bicycle
rider with all the rest of the world
flitting hither and thither in air
planes. Along comes young Arthur Spencer
and Frank Kramer for the first
time in his biking career trailed some
body else's rear" wheel across the tape.
This happened in Newark, N. .
The remarkable thing about Kra
mer is not his losing his title as
world cycling champion, nor yet his
winning it, nor even his hopes of win
ning it back again this year. Frank
Kramer goes to bed at 9 o'clock each
and every evening! That is some
achievement! Not difficult to do in
Speedunkville, but think of piling into-
the hay at 9 with Broadway on the
other end of a half hour ride!
And that's why Kramer stayed
j champion so long. Broadway never

doctors said he'd never live long
enough to wear long pants. Weak
lungs, you know. Nothing but skin
and bones. So Dad Kramer invested
in a bike, one of those high wheelers
which were much in fashion when
the dodo was on squeaking terms
.with the world.
Frank took to the bike like a duck
to water. It kept him outdoors and
gave him an appetite. Before he was

and champion cycling champ of the
U. S. A. That was in the days of
Eddie Cannon, Bald and Tom CooDer.
Then all America was on bikes and a
few in bloomers. The others fell by
the wayside, but Kramer kept pedal
ing along, giving Newark an excuse
for going to weekly bike races. This

MULFORD SIGNS
FOR AUTO DERBY
ON CHICAGN OVAL
Drivers to Put Up $2,000 of
Own Money in Classic
Which Will Be Staged
July 28.
Ralph Mulford, one of the most
! consistent drivers in the auto racing
! game, is the second of the big stars to
enter for the International Sweep
stakes to be run at the Chicago
speedway on Sunday afternoon, July
28. Mulford's entry was received last
night by Manager Charles H. Porter,
following only a few hours after that
of Arthur Duray, the world's speed
champion.
This will be the first time that Mul
ford has ever participated in a race on
Sunday and also will be the first time
that he. as well as the other drivers,
have ever started in a race in which
their own money was at stake. In the
International Sweepstakes each driver
must put up $2,000 and the manage
ment adds enough to make the total
purse $25,000.
"This innovation is the greatest
boost the auto racing game has ever
experienced," declared Mulford in the
letter which accompanied his entry.
"While every driver has always been
anxious to win, he is going to be
doubly anxious now and I expect to
see the greatest race ever held in the
world."
Eager for Fray.
Mulford is eager for the fray. He
finished second to Louis Chevrolet in
the 100-mile Chicago Derby in June,
averaging 108 miles an hour for the
entire distance and at Cincinnati on
July 4 he was third in the Liberty
Handicap. Mulford will drive a Fron
tcnac, which he purchased from Chev
rolet, its builder. Mulford has made
many changes and improvements in

that he is willing to increase his share
of the purse to $5,000 if the other
drivers will do the- same. He says
Duray has now had plenty of time to
get his motor in the very best of con
dition and looks like a winner.
Ralph De Palma, Dario Resta and

the Three-I league last year. This
year he started the season with Hous

that he was of league caliber.

ELY000 OFFERS
TO PLACE (1,000
ON BIG GRAPPLER
Omaha Man Posts Check for
That Sum to Risk on Pies
tina Against Any
Wrestler.
A check for $1,000 stared the sport
ing editor of The Bee in the face
Saturday.
The check was signed by J. W.
Elwood, well known Omaha sports
man. A letter accompanying the check
announced that Elwood wanted to
risk the thousand on Marin Plestina
against any wrestler in the world. ,
The letter speaks for itself. It is
in part as follows:
"There is no greater admirer of
clean athletics anywhere than my
self. Good, clean, legitimate wrestling
is especially attractive to me.
"What has become of the grand
old mat game, where the opponents
wrestled by rules, and went to a fin
ish, two falls out of three I mean
two real falls, with the shoulders
pinned to the mat. The introduction
of the "decision-on-points," with a
time-limit is a grand joke. The joke
is on the public. Surely Barnum was
right.
Faith in Plestina.
"I believe there is a man right
here in Omaha who can throw John
Pesek or any other wrestler.
"This man is Marin Plestina, and
in order to show my faith in Ples
tina's ability to do so, I herewith
hand you my check in the sum of
$1,000 to back the following proposi
tion :
"Pesek to wrestle Plestina any
time within the next 60 days, in
Omaha, for a side bet of $1,000 and
winner take all gate receipts.
"The match to be strictly accord
ing to Police Gazette rules, which
means an actual wrestling match to
a finish, if it takes a week. The de
cision to be on two falls out of three,
and a fall means two shoulders pinned
to the mat, and no such camouflage
as 'two-hour-to-a-decision-on-points'
goes. If Pesek is as good a wrestler
as he and his friends claim, let them
come up to your office and cover this
money which I will leave with you
for 10 days. If he does accept, Oma
ha will see at least one real wrestling
match. If he fails to accept, the pub
lic can draw its own conclusion.
"Incidentally, I will say that the
same offer goes for Stecher, Caddock,
Lewis or Zbyszko. If any of these
wrestlers want a real match, here is
their opportunity."

Base Ball is Destined to
Be International Sport
Washington, D. C, July 13. Base
ball bids fair to become an interna
tional sport according to Harry R.
Stringer of the W'ar department
commission on training camp ac
tivities, who has just returned from a
trip of the American camps in France
and England with Raymond B. Fos
dick, chairman of the commission,
who has been making a survey of
the recreational and relief facilities
among American over-seas forces.
"It really takes a trip to the front
to make one realize that base ball is
the national game of America," said
Mr. Stringer. "I saw our boys playing
from London to Paris right up
to the front line trenches. Of course,
playing within the front lines is natur
ally restricted because the troops are
forbidden to congregate on account
of the danger from boche batteries.
Nevertheless it is not an unusual sight
to see groups of two or three limber
ing up with a base ball after a night
in the dugouts and trenches. Most of
the units have their own teams, and
in some places leagues have been
formed. Rivalry is keen and the men
take as much interest in the fortunes
of their respective nines as they do
in the big league races at home."
