    Church, Sunday School Baseball Leagues Adopt Number of New Rules
Changes Made in
Governing Laws
of Two Circuits
r -, <
Sunday School Loop Raises
Maximum Age Limit to 19
lYears—Changes for
Better.
rBy "ROSEY.
HE church and
Sunday school
baseball leagues,
at meetings held
last week. Indi
cated that the
managers of both
circuits mean
business this sea
son. In the past,
both of these
loops have ran
Uielr leagues in a
haphazard way.
But if the man
agers and these
connected with
the churches,
Sunday schools and the Y. SI. C. A.
have their way, and no doubt they in
tend to, it will be a different Church
and Sunday School league than that
which played under the same colors
last season.
This season, in order to do away
with the technicalities, violations and
oilier disturbances, which hindered the
operations of these circuits last sea
con, President Jack Barre, who pre
sided at a joint meeting of these two
loops held some time ago, appointed
Itoy Healer chairman, C. O. Keester
physical director of the "Y” and A.
•V Lewis manager of one of the teams
as a rules committee.
This commute was ordered to draw
up a new set of rules and report to
tha individual league meetings of the
two circuits. This the committee did
and the Sunday school leagues accept
ed the rules with one change. The
church loop made two changes.
In the Sunday school league, play
ers will not be allowed to play on Sun
day teams (playing in the Amateur
Baseball association while the church
loop rules will permit their players
to perform.
The Sunday School league raised Its
maximum age limit to 19 years. This
alteration eliminates tills loop from
any competition In the junior city
championship series.
The rules as adopted by both
leagues are very strict as to attend
ance, eligibility and supervision. Bast
season these leagues had no church
supervision to speak of. Under the
new rules a board of control, consist
ing of an adult member representing
each church and Sunday school, will
he in direct charge of each loop.
All contracts filed in either loop
must hear the O. Iv. of either the
pastor, Sunday school superintendent
nr a member of the hoard of control.
John Dennison, secretary of the Mu
nicipal Baseball association, is In a
large measure responsible for the new
rules adopted by the two leagues.
Dennison in a talk to the Sunday
school managers at a meeting last
Tuesday instructed the magnates of
this league not to forget the idea of
the organization of the league. Other
parts of Dennison’s talk consisted of
reminding the Sunday school players
that the church and Its principles
should lie upheld at all times on the
Ball diamonds.
Dennison's talk, which dwelt on the
idea of the league as a whole, was
well received by the league heads.
The church and Sunday school of
ficials of the city are taking an un
usual amount of Interest In these
leagues this season.
Part of this Interest Is due to the
criticism heaped upon the church
heads last season when a certain
church was disqualified just as It
made preparation* to enter the finals
of the city series.
This team was barred because of
the fact that the manager of the nine
had not limited the roster of his team
to members of the church represented
Under the new rules adopted by the
leagues the writer can see nothing
but success in store for the church
leaguers this season.

Ixtulavllle, Ky., March 21,—If num
bers count for aught, Harry Payne
Whitney holds a decided advantage
among those bidding for the 1925
Kentucky derby. The 12 thorough
breds named by the eastern sports
man give him more than a two-to-one
margin over his nearest rival. E. R.
Bradley, who nominated five from hi*
Idle Hour farm stable. Just how
many of Mr. Whitney's dozen will sur
vive the strenuous preparation to be
undergone between now and the run
ning of the $50,000 race on May 16. it
is difficult to surmise, hut certain it
is that with a full quiver for the cam
paign he should be among those pres
ent on Derby day with his usual entry
of (wo or more atarters.
Since he first manifested an in

Whitney has been a most liberal pa

an outside rhatire of proving worthy.

My Hardest Battle
ax Told l>>
EARL SANDE
(America’* Premier Jockey)
_J
TI'RF follower* who flocked to
the Saratoga track one August
afternoon In 1920 to witness the
running of the Merchants and Citi
zens Handicap will not forget the
finish of the event.
It was one of the most exciting nn
record—so close that no one except
the Judges could tell the winner. In
the seven years that I have been
riding I have never taken part in a
harder struggle.
There were a half dozen entries
for I lie race, a stake event at a mile
and three-sixteenths, lint two horse*
stood out above the rest of tin
field. One was Commander .1. K.
I,. Boss' great 3-year-old stallion,
Nlr Barton The other was Onome,
also a stallion, owned by Rear Ad
miral Cary Grayson.
Frankie Keogh was up on Gnome
while I rode Nlr Barton.
There Is always lots of Interest in
the Merchants and Citizens handicap,
one of the Saratoga fixtures, and for
many years a big feature event. It
was heightened in 1920 by the pros
pect of a stiff battle between Sir Bar
ton and Gnome.
Sir Barton had been in top form,
winning several important race** con
secutively. Gnome hadn't been run
so much, this being, if I remember
correctly, one of Ida first big com
petitions, but he had been showing
all sorts of speed and Admiral Gray
son and a lot of others fully expect
ed him to win.
Tlte weights were very much In
Gnome's favor, lie 'carried but 120
pounds. Nir Barton, on the other
hand, was given the top weight of
133 pounds.
Tlie race meant a good deal lo
ine. II was my third season of rid
ing and my second with Comman
der Boss. Already there was some
talk of a match race between Sir
Barton and the great Man O’ \>ar.
Naturally, I wanted to lie in the
saddle if the match were arranged.
At the start. I put Nir Barton at
the head of the field, along the rail.
Keogh was content to nurse Gnome
two or three lengths behind. We
held these relative positions for quitd
a while, although, as we neared the
finish. Gnome edged a little closer,
maneuvering Into position for the
final brush.
Sir Barton stayed in front until
we reached the head of the stretch
Then Keogh suddenly used pressure
on his mount and completely closed
the gap between n» with a fine burst
of speed. Nor had he exhausted
Gnome's possibilities A second lat
er he shoved the latter a head in
front of Sir Barton.
However, I hadn't taken every
thing out of Commander Hoes' entry;
either. I let him out a bit more am!
began riding him with all I had.
That Is—all except the whip. T
laid It on once. I think, Just as
Gnome started his charge, but there
after not again.
Between the eighth pole and the
sixteenth it was one desperate strug
gle. Sir Barton responded with a
terrific effort, hut try i< we could we
were unable to stiake off the Gray
son entry.
Beating down the stretch first.
Sir Barton would forge nliesil and

then Gnome. The fact is, tlie lend
< -hanged with every stride. Frankie
Keogh was using the same laities
ns I employed—that is. not draw
ing his whip. I was hand riding
for all I was worth.
The stands were in an uproar.
Tile rest of the field was out of it
and all attention was centered on
tile two horse*. We were making
genuine speed, so that, coupled
with Hie uncertainly over the re
sult, was speculation as to the
time we were making.
For a space (inoine held the lead
liy a head. .Kicking and pushing
all I knew how, I was unable lo
make tip Hint lead until the last 20
yards. Then Sir Itarton responded
to the call with one final flash. I
thought it had In-ought us the vic
tory, hut I wasn’t certain until Hie
official announcement. It turned
out that Gnome had been beaten
by the hare margin of a nose.
We surely had been hurrying
some. When the time was hung tip
we found that we had equalled the
track refold for a mile and three
sixteenths with a mark of 1:55 3-5.
The match between Sir Barton and
Man O' War was pulled off In the
following October, but, unluckily for
me, I didn't ride Sir Barton. I was
to have done so. but, at the last min
ute, Frankie Keogh was substituted
for me.
I immediately' resigned my place
wit it the Boss stables. Numbers of
offers came to me, among them one
front San Hildreth. I decided to join
him and this led to my connection
with Mr. Harry Sinclair when th«
latter took over the Hildreth stable,
a connection that has given me the
opportunity to ride in a long success

R E T G II T O N
Prep will make a
determined bid for
city and state
track honors this
season.
This is the opin
ion of ('oath
Knute Drennan,
who has had hls
flock of Junior
Blue jay* working
out nightly on
the gymnasium
oval and declares
them to lie the
cream of any
ever produced at
Prep.
"A dual meet with South High, the
Council Muffs relays, the city mer
and the possibility of entering the
state meet, has brought the best in
the school out for track,'’ Drennan
declared.
Drennan has three dash men of
more than ordinary ability in Captain
Powers. Halplne and Jergen. Powers
has been making exceptionally good
[ire «ea»on time on the indoor track
in the century and 220, while Halplne
and Jergen look good In the 100-yard
sprint.
Yeager has been clicking off the
440 in fast time, while Freeman and
O'Burn seem to be the class of the
milers.
Olds In the high Jump and pole
vault, and Canlglla in the weights
should score points for the Bluejays.
A date has not been set for the
Creighton-South meet, hut it will
probably precede the Council Bluffs
relays, May 2.

A famous Doctor
Why He Succeeded
From hard work on the farm to the study of medicine in Phila
delphia, Pa., and Cincinnati. Ohio where he graduated in 1S62. then
to a country practice were the stages thru which Pr. Ray Y. Tierce
passed.
He was never idle a moment. In his youth, after a hard da\'s work
it was his delight to tramp and hunt in the woods as well as trap. He
was a keen student of Nature, and he knew the roots, herbs and medi
cinal plants that grew in the woods.
In his younger days he practiced medicine over a large district. It
was then the new oil fields near Titusville and Hydetown. Pa. Riding,
driving, sometimes all night in the woods, he visted his patients over
a large district. Then he determined to put up some of his favorite
prescript iotia in ready-to-use form in order to reach a larger number
of families in the United States.
He thus early moved to Buffalo, X. Y., and established the
World's Dispensary where he put up Dr. Pierce's Golden Jdedicftl Dis
covery for the blood as well as the Favorite Prescription for women,
carefully preparing them from roots, barks and herbs and placed them
with druggists all over the United State
During the las! sixty years, or for over half a century-. Dr.
Pierre's Discovery, for the blood, has been sold in larger quamties by
druggists all over the United States than any other medicine. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Dieeovery is a tonic in its effects on the
stomach and digestive aparatus: an alterative in ita action on the blood,
liver and skin. It increase* the appetite, stimulates the digestion, en
riches the blood, clears the skin of eruptions and blemishes, and makes
both men and women feel as they did when they were young and car*
free.
