HE local amateur
followers will be
favored with
good selections
this afternoon
on surrounding
sandlots when
the outcome of
the confabs will
have direct bear
Ing on the bunt
ings of the sev
eral leagues.
' 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. It Is believed
nil attendance records at the first
week of the North Randall were
broken this week, ^attesting to the
wonderful attraction of horse racing
in Cleveland, despite the glowing
amount of It staged there, with the
Grand Circuit, halfmllers nnd matl
nees holding forth for the trottprs
and pacers and Maple Heights offer
ing three meetings for the runners.
Kalamazoo will give one of the few
5 $111,000 stakes of the Grand Circuit
season. It lias been named the Kx

ATURDAY after
noon sandlotters
once more got
Into action yes
terday afternoon
after a two
weeks' rest. 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.

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."
