' The Metropoli tan loop will once more hold me majority or glimmers with the feature clash between the league- lead Ing Murphy-Did-Its and the runners up of the Class “A” division, the Woodmen of the World, at Fontenelle park at 3:30 o'clock. The tT. P. Enginemen and the Walter O. Clarkes will battle for the near cellar position at Athletic park, while the slipping Standards will lock up against the rising Knights of Columbus at Muny beach. The out come of this test will settle the mid standing question with the Laundry men lending by a half game margin The Nebraska Tire nine seems to be the only outfit with an easy chair when they mix with the lowly Schneider Electrics at Rivervlew dia mond. Two double headers are carded for the American boys, the main show be ing staged by the Paxton Billiards and the Besty Ross at Miller park. Should the Carter Lake win and the Besty nine take both ends of the feature repltition bill, the Class "B" 1 loop will be in a triple knot for the leadership. The Paxtons will enter a crippled lineup and such a thing might materialize. The Postoffice Employes and the Kinney Shoes spend the afternoon together at Thirty second and Dewey in another repetend. The V. M. H. A. who pulled the under rate surprise last week end, will meet the Union Stock Yards team at West Elmwood in the finale. The West Side Boosters will have tp step to keep high on top when they fight it out with the Omaha Camp at Fon tenelle in the opener. Unless the top teams proove victorious in today's tilts, a big shuffle will take place In the team standings. The Corr Elec trics remain idle, being given a for feit. The C!a=s “C” youngsters are all tuned up for this afternoon when the triple tie which has been hovering over first place for the last few weeks. ‘ looks good for a tumble. The Naples Banks and the Barker Clothes Shop will decide who stays on top at Muny beach. The Banks lost a close game at the hands of the Clothiers during the first round and with keen rivalry fans will see a mean exhibition. The DeMolays who have i»een stepping out for the last few weeks will at tempt to continue their comeback against the Leavenworth Merchants, who are tangled In the leadership knot at Athletic park. The Vinton Mer chants should not be extended In turn ing back their opponents at River * ".'y^w and with the leaders meeting each other the lower clubs will also workout for the lower positions. The following is this afternoon’s schedule: Grand C. Moves to Toledo Track After a successful opening at North Randall, Cleveland, marked by ex ceptionally fast performances and big crowds, the Grand Circuit horses shift to Toledo next week, where a card nearly as rich as that offered at Cleveland will he presented. Grand Circuit racing with the pari mutuels Is safe at Cleveland despite an eleventh-hour attempt to stop the wagering. The case against the mu tuels was thrown out of court as without justification.

Sev eral close con tests resulted, with five tests being decided by single-point mar gins. while four /} teams failed to organize and were forced to forfeit. But one upset was dished out, that being In the Northern Sunday school loop, and with this exception the league leader ships remained the same, with two teams going into a knot in the first group of the Industrial league. The Creamery organization was left untouched when the three upper rate nines triumphed over the three lower teams in their respective or der. The Hardings nearly slipped one over on the league-leading Klrsch brauns and held the top notchers to a tie for eight innings, finally allow ing the clean slate artists to take the test, 5 to 4. The winning run was sent across in the last of the ninth, when one man walked and Moore singled. The Omaha Police downed the Cud ahy nine at Fontenelle, to the merry tune of 3 to 0. when Crawford proved overly effective for the Cop pers. These two teams now are tied for the Industrial leadership, with four wins and one defeat each. The Guarantee Fund Life had to extend themselves for the third successive time to turn back the Omaha Steel crew, 6 to 4. in order to keep on top of the second division scramble. Omaha Printing nine won its flrist victory of the season when they trimmed the Omaha Nationals by a near Shutout, 8 to 1. only iour games were played in the Church league and with the excep tion of the Olivet Walnut IJM twist all developed Into slugfesrs. The Hillers defeated the Olivets after a successful ninth-inning rally. 5 to 4. The Clifton Hill team, leaders of the North group, were idle, being award ed a forfeit, as were the Wops in the South division. The Wheelers had easy work in making way with the Christians, 11 to 2. while the Diet! nearly upset things again when they tied the North Presbyterians in the sixth inning, only to be left In the dust by a 21 to 10 count after the ninth frame. The Northern Sunday School league received the fateful upset when the North Presbyterians handed the Florence lads their first under score. Florence was minus three stellar per formers. The Walnut Hill nine won from the Central Parks, sfter sn ex it a inning affair at Fast Klmwood. while the Hirsts ran wild against the Clifton Hillers, 21 to 4. In the Southern youngsters' scramble the Wheelers forfeited to the Wildcats and let the Hanscom lads lead for a while longer. The First Christians came near getting their second sue ressive drop when the Westminster boys stayed with the runners-up In a 24 to 23 slugging bee. The Wops forfeited, arid the Congregational? have dropped out of the running. Mishaps to Airplanes Carrying Fight Pictures Albany, Ore., July 7 —The efforts of three men In an airplane with D.

Gibbons Lands a Left to Dempsey’s Jaw in Second Round Husker Stadium to Be Completed for Fall Games Construction of Memorial Field Is Now One-Third Completed. Lincoln. July 7.—The new memorial stadium at the University of Nebras ka here. Is about one-third completed, according to Earl H.iwklns, who is in charge of the building. Mr. Hawkins graduated from the university in 1916 and was mptain of the basket ball team and a member of the Comhusk er football squad. About 135 men are employed in the construction work, and the average amount of cement poured into the forms is about 25 yeards an hour. When working at full capacity, this average is exceeded.. The structure will require 90 carloads of cement. 500 cars of sand, and 690 tons of steel, it Is estimated by the officials of the construction company which is doing the work. More than 70,000 cubic yards of dirt must be removed from the oval, and 5,000 yards of black dirt must be brought in for surfacing, the officials said. Work on the stadium began early in June, and has been in operation about a month. With the work one third completed, it is expected that the stadium will be completed early In September, In time for the opening of the football season. 4,000 Acclaim Gibbons as Hero of Home Town St. Paul, Minn.. July 7.—Hailed an a conquering hero, Tommy Gibbons came home today from the battle ground at Shelby, where on Wednes day he lost a referee * decision to Jack Dempsey, pugilistic king, after a 15-round fight. It was reminiscent of the war-time welcomes of soldiers, and left Tomniy tongue tied ns he was whirled away from the Union station to breakfast at the Town and Country club. Many of the 4,000 persons who welcomed him at the station, which was Jammed to overflowing, also greeted him at Como park after breakfast and paraded behind him through business streets at noon to Rice park, where city and state of finals •'officially" welcomed him. It was perhaps the greatest cele bration of a defeat a fighter has ever been honored with. Governor Preus, unable to attend In person, sent a formal statement declaring that ’boxing. If placed on the level established by Tommy Gib bons and his brother Mike, would not bs a problem for our lawmakers. As governor, I more than gladly welcome Tommy Glbhona homo to his native state."
