' Odenwald In the
1 third inning hero
yesterday and
pounded out
enough runs to
win the fourth

f with the Denver
Bears. The final
score was 8 to 3.
In the fatal
fourth the Buffa
loes clouted out
four doubles and a
sacrifice which
were good enough
lor rour runs.
These four tallies were plenty to win
the contest for the herd, but no one
knew it at the time. In the fourth
the Buffaloes annexed another run
and in the fifth added three more
markers to their credit.
Odenwald started for the Grizzlies
and lasted much longer than was ex
pected. ‘'Ted” had better control yes
terday, but his control didn’t amount
to much, as the Buffaloes slapped his
offerings to all corners of the lot.
During the four and one-third rounds
Odenwald worked, the herd scored
seven runs on nine hits, of which
four were doubles and one a triple.
In all, the Denver "chucker” allowed
the Buffaloes only one base on balls.
"Jimmy" Gross took up the mound
work in the fifth and succeeded in
holding Omaha in check. The herd
got to "Jimmy'; for three hits, one
of them being a double, which didn’t
amount to anything in the scoring
line.
May on Mound.
I he elongated May was on the hill
for Konetehy. May was batted freely.
* the Bears collecting 11 hits, among
them three doubles. Somehow or
Either the Grizzlies couldn’t cash in
their hits for runs. They left 11
mates stranded on the bags.
Denver started well. In the second
inning Hlgbee walked and went to
second on an infield out, scoring
when Young singled to left field. The
Bears held this tneasley one run lead
until the third, when Odenwald weak
ened. Wilder started the round by
slamming out a double to center. May
got on when Young booted one and
Wilder advanced, scoring when Ap
pereon doubled to right. Wilcox
played big brother and sacrificed,
M ay scoring. McDonald sent a slow
roller dojjrn to second and McMemanln
Just had time to catch "Tex'’ at first,
Apperson scoring from third on the
infield out. Bonowitz’s double to cen
ter put him in a position where he
scored on C'ullop's two-bagger to left.
Konetehy whiffed and the rally ended.
Denver Adds Another.
Denver added another tally to Its
total in the fourth, when Young sin
gled and took second on the throw
home that caught McMemanln at the
plate. The latter's double was the
first hit of the round. Odenwald
grounded out and then Folk singled,
•coring Young. Folk tried to make
second, hut Bonowitz's throw to Wil
cox was good for the third and final
jut.
Omaha nslo boosted Its total to
five when May walked in the fourth
frame and scored after singles by Ap
jepson and Wilcox, the latter’s one
3ly blow registering the lanky Buffa
lo hurler.
In the fifth tlTw. Buffaloes scored
their final runs. Bonowitz singled to
left. C’ullop’s sacrifice boosted Joe
to second and Konetchy’s single to
right scored the Omaha centerfielder.
Griffin cracked out a triple to deep
center and Konetehy rambled home.
Gross (limbs Hill.
"Pug's" three-bagger wrote “finis"
on Odenwald's slate as “Jimmy" Gross
was trotted out to face the herd.
Wilder greeted Gross’ entrance by
knocking out a single, scoring Griffin
with Omaha's final run, the eighth.
The Bears started a young rally In
the ninth, but didn't get very far.
After Gross skied out. Folk doubled
to right. Egan clouted out an extra
base hit, scoring Folk with Denver's
third and final run. A sacrifice ad
vanced Egan to third and then Dia
mond walked. Higbee's high one to
Bonowltz ended the game.
The contest was a dull affair un'il
"Bmp" Held, who worked (he game
alone, ousted Wilder and McDonald
"t Omaha and MacPhee from the par k
for disputing decisions. Wilder and
ileld nearly came to blows.

World Declares He’ll En
ter Fight Game Again
—As Manager.
New Orleans, May 31.—Pete Her
man, (Peter Gulotta) former world
bantamweight champion, who has
been totally blind for more than a
year and who for the last 87 days has
been in bed with his eyes bandaged,
saw the light of day today when the
dressing was removed by his phy
sician, Dr. Jonas W. Rosenthal. Dr.
Rosenthal said he would ^have satis
factory vision In one eye.
Herman’s parents, his wife, two
small daughters and a few friends
were present. It was a tense moment
as Dr. Rosenthal slit the bandage and
began to uViwind it. Herman had as
sumed a sitting posture in his bed, the
first time in nearly three months.
“Steady!” the specialist admonished
the pugilist. “Hope for the best but
be prepared for anything.”
The last wrapping came off. there
was a moment of intense, almost
painful silence, then: ,
"Thank God! I can see!" Herman
shouted. In an instant he was in the
arms of his wife. "Now, I can get
back into the fighting game again,”
he said. “I will never fight again,
but I'll be a manager.”
Herman's loss of eyesight resulted
from a blow which injured the in
tegumentary tissue of the right eye
in a light sparring exhibition at a
charity benefit in Philadelphia.

Utile Interest in killiaue Hunt

New York. May 31.—According to
Broadway sharpshooters, the Kllbane

urday afternoon will be attended by
gentlemen of the press and ushers.
That opinion, of course. Is a trifle
extravagant. The hour is young and
many of the Innocents can still ad
vance upon the box office, cash in
hand. However, there is no doubt
that tickets are not selling with the
rapidity Tom O'Rourke might desire.
The field, ‘O'Rourke declares, will
have accommodation* for 60,000, hut
at prices ranging from $10 to $20 the
attraction will hardly call out a ca
pacity crowd.

Star Rider to Make Omaha Debut
at Ak-Sar-Ben Spring Meet Here
-- JBt*. *
Freddie Watrous, Product of
Tiajuatia Track, to Pilot
Melaehrino and nomina
tor for Lonnie Tryon,
By GEORGE W. SCHILLING.
Next Saturday, when the kingly
thoroughbreds march out on the
track at the Ak-Sar-Ben Held to par
ade to the post, their backs will be
graced by some of the best Jockeys in
the country. Some of these are
strangers to this part of the country,
never having ridden here before.
A star reinsman who will make his
debut here is Freddie Watrous, the
dapper little fellow under contract to
Lonnie Tryon, w'ho has the crack
colt Melaehrino tiere as well as the
distance runner JJominator.
No rider on the American turf has
had a more meteoric career than
Watrous. Coming to Tlajuana last
November, Watrous joined the Tryon
outfit ami learned the ropes by exer
cising horses in the mornings. He
showed unusual signs of becoming a
first class rider and on February 9 of
this year Ti yon gave the 17-year-old
lad an opportunity lo ride in a race.
Given “Leg I p."
He was given the "leg up" on
Dominator and turned in a creditable
performance by finishing third. Then
came the day which Watrous w-ill
never forget. This was February 11,
when he rode the same horse back in
a mile and a half gallop. It was over
a track deep with mud that Watrous
rode this son if Uncle and Sunbonnet
to victory, and the youngster won his
spurs by returning »o the weighing
out station with his owner's colors
unbesmirched. He had ridden wisely
and had kept him in front of the van
for the entire route.
After piloting his first winner Wat
rous showed rapid advancement jn
his chosen vocation, and it was not
long before his services were in great
demand by the many horsemen at
the Mexican track.
Dashing Rider,
In Watrous, the racing fans are
going to see a dashing rider. He is a
corking post boy who has the know
ledge of getting a horse away from
the gate In a manner which gets the
runner into his full stride at once.
While at Maple Heights recently,
Tryon, who holds the coveted con
tract on Watrous, refused a mighty
attractive sum for the document,
which, had it been transferred, would
have made the services of the rider
Freddie Watrous.
become' tne property of a nationally
known New York turfman.
Watrous, who has the benefit of
the five-pound apprentice allowance.
Is naturally a light boy and can do
100 pounds without reducing. He is
a tower of strength on a tiring horse
that needs assistance in the final
rush to the wire and he should find
the Omaha racing a fertile field In
which to show his wonderful skill as
a topnotch Jockey.

Indianapolis, Ind., May 31.—
Tommy Milton's spectacular victory
in yesterday’s 500 mi|e automobile
race, the first time any driver has
ever won the event the second time,
was the subject of much comment
among automobile experts today.
They point but the fact that eight of
10 cars finishing in the money, In
cluding the first seven in order, were
of American make, as proof that the
United States still maintains the su
periority In mechanical designs gain
ed during the war.
That the tiny 122 cubic inch piston
displacement, racers, proved them
selves capable of all asked of them,
also was the concensus of automobile
men. That the tiny racers could
stand the grind of the 500 mile derby
and come through in such excellent
condition, was a matter of astonish
ment to automobile men. Drivers of
the foreign made speed creations had
no comment to make regarding the
relatively poor showing of their cats
Whether Indianapolis will stage an
other race, was uncertain. Rumors
have been current that the speedway
officials alarmed at the anti-sport
Memorial day bill, passed by the In
diana legislature, but vetoed by Gov
ernor McCray, have been seeking a
site to which they might move the
track. Cleveland is reported to have
made bids for the next race.
The death of Hubert Khoup, 16
year-old LaKayette, Ind.. school boy,
who sustained fatal injuries when
Tom Alley's car plunged through a
fence during the race. i« the first
fatality' at the speedway since 1919.

Pair of Second
Division Teams
Bother Leaders
Athletics and Dodgers Make
Kad) Season Spurts Prom
Right Hand
Column.
By Associated Press,
New York, May 31.—Two major
league clubs this spring have risen
from second division depths to chal
lenge the supremacy that the cham
pion Nevf York clubs, the Yankee*
and Giants, have enjoyed for the past
two years.
The Philadelphia Athletics in the
American, and the Brooklyn Dodgers
in the National, may not be able to
sustain the early season spurts that
have carried them rapidly toward the
top, where both the Yankees and
Giants now are e-tablished, hut so
far they have proved the sensation
of both leagues.
Both teams went well against
western clubs in the initial inter
sectional clashes of the season, the
Athl/tics winning 8 out of 13 and the
Dodgers 8 out of 12, and both checked
the winning streaks of the champion
New York clubs. But the Brooklyn
ites, since May 8 have captured 13
out of 18 games and climbed to third
place, while the Athletics have won
but 11 out of 20, two defeats yester
day at the hands of the Red Sox
doming as unexpected setbacks.
| The IJodgerB capped the climax or
their spurt by taking three out of
I four from the Giants at the Polo
grounds this week, an achievement
even more noteworthy than the recent
triumphs of the Athletics in two out
of three games with the Yankees at
Philadelphia.
Connie Mack has developed a your.g
and powerful club after eight years
of experimenting, whiie Wilbert Rob
inson. Brooklyn leader has produced
his team with young and veteran
talent alike.
Ray French, ot 'ained from the Pa
cific coast, showed promise at short
until an injury forced him from * be
Brooklyn lineup.
