SCHMADER-LAMSON BOUT BEING HELD UP Louisville Boy Stands to be Left Out of Labor Day Card at Fort Omaha, Say Papers. From Saturday" Da 11 v. According to yesterday's World- Herald. Andv Schmader. Louisville s heavvweight boxer will probably not be nicked to meet the Walthill In dian on Labor day despite the fact that Lamson lenge to the issued a public chal- winner of Wednesday , night's bout. The explanation given is that Omaha fans would rather see some other boxer meet the In- dian. The facts of the case are Schmader isn't in with Sandy Griswold and his "sport dopsters" of the metropolis, ' and so stands to be left in the cold, so long as they have any concern in the matter. And this for no appar- ent reason, in nis career as a puga list. Schmader has never turned a crooked deal so far as we are able to learn, and that is more than can be said of many of the pugs whe stand ace high with the Omaha rporting element. It is not the purpose of this writ- er to imply that Schmader can whip the Indian. Maybe he can and may- be be cant But why should he be refused a chance to meet the Aalt- bill boy again, especially after the rtn crci rl a nocrfav nitrrit Ti era tH less of the outcome of such a match, it is certain Omaha promotors would find it one of the best cards they could hope to arrange. fspli ni a (1 pr an far nnlnnintPil A liiv. ander Wednesday night that he is entitled to another go with the In-j dian, whom it must be remembered fj gained only a point decision over the ex-navy lad. Schmader appears to be lacking In some of the qualifications considered ' v... ..... in our opinion, measures up pretty well to the demands of a patient public, who would be pleased to see he and Lamson matched for a re turn go RETURN FROM DENMARK From Saturday's Dally. Mr. and Mrs. Nels Sogard and family returned Wednesday night from their visit to Denmark. They left James 1. Johnson in New York with a couple of young The other members of the party. N C.

Green, Many Years a Resident of This City Finds Much Pleasure in Meetings at Epworth Assembly . ' . . . ,, Fr..m Saturdays 1 nllv The Journal has just received a letter from Charles W. Green, an old resident of this city, but has of late years been residing in Lincoln and at the Soldiers and Sailors Home at Milford. In his letter Mr. Green says: "The writer wishes to note, lest we forget the fact, that among the thousands who attended the Epworth Assembly from all directions, we, by accident met a few of our former church and Sunday school associates from Plattsmouth. Surely it was a great surprise and a Joyful experi ence, one that will go with us until we meet again beyond the river. There were many questions from the writer as to the old friends and their families and where they had gone if leaving the city. We' were glad to hear the good tidings of some of the friends and regreted to learn of the misfortune of others who have sunereu in both body and mind. Among the visitors rrom the oia town w ere Rev. A. V. Hunter, the Methodist minister. Hilt Wescott and Jesse Perry. And here at the Milford Soldiers and Sailors home where we are more or less making our tem porary stay, we met our old com rade, T. W. Glenn, from Plattsmouth. who was making a visit at the home and whom we met by chance. Many thanks for your kindness. C. W. Green.

Wescott's Sons LJ GREAT RECORD MADE IN TRUCK TRAVEL Reo Speedwagon Goes Irom Omaha to Denver in a Record Breaking Run That Establishes Record Ed Mason, the" local Reo dealer ha received the following account of the record run made from Omaha to Denver in one of the trucks that he represents in this city: No doubt everyone manufacturing or selling trucks, will be interested in the speed run made by the Jones Opper Company of Omaha, Neb., with a Reo Speedwagon to Denver, Colo rado. The Reo Speedwagon carried a net load of 2535 lbs., city scale weight, which was principally made up of dry goods from the M. K. Smith Company of Omaha, to he delivered to their customer, the Denver Dry Goods Company, at Denver. The Jones-Opper Company had in mind making this run in twenty-four hours or as much le?s as possible. The start was made from the West ern Union oflice on 24th and Far nam streets, at 6:03 p. m. central time. Friday. August '13th, and they ar rived in Denver at 1:3 4 p. ni. moun tain time, (Western Union again checking us in) Saturday afternoon. August 14th. The distance covered was COG miles, and there were no mechanical troubles of any nature. other than two punctures. The roads were found to be fair to good the entire distance. It is. however, to be remembered that there were about nine hours of night driving. which proved a handicap to a cer tain exteht. Another serious handi cap was the city of Lincoln, for the truck arrived there at just the right time in the evening to be forced to pass and meet automobiles for a dis tance cf six to eight miles east of Lincoln, through the city of Lincoln and a distance of six to eight miles west of Lincoln, and much time was lost at that point. The first leg of the run was made by Mr. J. M. Opper and Mr. I. C. Ganner of the Jones-Opper Company and covered a distance of 207 miles to Minden, Nebraska. These 207 miles were covered in six hours and thirty-seven minutes, or an average speed of 31.41 miles per hour, in cluding the taking on of gasoline at Lincoln and Hastings. The second leg of the run was made by repre sentatives of the A. H. Jones Com The Ford Sedan is the favorite family car, seats five comfortably.

TTrfrrrr Pi 'EVERYBODY'S STORE" pany of Hastings, who drove 210 miles to Wray, Colorado, in reven hours and forty minutes total elapsed time, taking on gasoline and cil twice, and changing tires once, which gave them an average speed pr hour of 27.39 for their distance. The third leg of the run was made by representatives of the Graham Jones Company of Denver, who cov ered a distance of 189 miles from Wray, Colorado, to Denver, in six hours and fourteen minute?, which covered the changing of one tire and the taking on of gasoline once, mak- j ing their average speed per hour 30.45 miles. i The gasoline consumption was i 11 1-4 miles per gallon and 100 miles , per quart of oil. j To really show the speed that was made, it is to be remembered that the run was started six hours and seventeen minutes ahead of the C. B. & Q. Railway Company's No. 9 Den ver Limited, which by the way is the : fastest train between Omaha and Denver and the truck arrived in Den ver one hour and fift-six minutes ahead of this train, and was driven sixty-eight miles further. Putting it another way, had both the train and truck left Omaha at the same time and had the train continued its rate of speed for the entire dis tance of C06 miles, there would have been only a gain of one hour and forty minutes for this through pas senger train over the truck, for the railroad mileage between Omaha and JDtnver is only 53S miles.
