EXTRA EXTRA POLICE RAID
ALLEY CRAP GAME
About 12 policemen swooped
down on a alley crap game about
9 of the local boys was indulging
in a little alley golf when some
one called the cops. Although the
cops had the alley surrounded from
all angles it looked like all the
boys are going to take a ride.
But all the boys decided to run
for it. Why, those boys run so
fast they made Jesse Owens look
like he was standing still. Dood
le rey jump over a 9 foot fence
without the aid of a pole. Esther
Rochardson run so fast and bis
feet got so hot he last both of
his shoes. No, he didn’t stop to
pick them up, he kept right on go
ing barefooted. I am willing to
back any of those boys in the next
A.A.U. for the 100 yard dash.
Any of them can run the 100 in
8 flat providing that a cop is the
starter.
TWO LOCAL MEN FORM PART
NERSHIP
John Riley and Joe Owens made
their business venture the other
day. Mr. Riley, the silent partner,
what I mean by silent is Joe is
the Boss. They run their business
on a percentage basis after Joe
deducts the expense they split the
remainder 50-50. The first day re
ceipts they took in 2.50. Here’s
how Joe deducted the expenses:
98 cents for gas, 12 cents for oil
22 cents wear and tear on tires,
25 cents parking space in front of
HM and upe of telephone, 25
cents for fixture of one flat tire
left: a balance of 68 cents to be
split 50-10 between 2 partners net
34 cents.
A piece Mr. Riley didn’t like
the way Mr. Owen conduct the
business so he promptly resign
for he swears there was only one
pint of gas put in the car for 2
days and no oil put in for one
week. But figures don’t lie. Mr.
Owen looking for another parL

UNITED CASH COAL LOSE 12
TO 5
The Florence Merchants beat
the Coal Boys for the third
straight time. The coal boys use
3 pitchers but could not stem the
tide. The coal boys got enough
hits .to win a doubleheader. 3 trip
les and 2 home runs a few errors
and plenty of free tickets to first
base caused their downfall). If
the coal boys had won Sunday’s
game, they had a chance to win
the Pennant, but now the chance
is slim.

A game between two bitter
rivals, Hezrie Stars and Mose
Ranson HSS broke up in the first
of the 7th inning in a free for
all fight. Freddie Harris one of
tho outstanding ball players was
hit on the head with a baseball
bat by John Harvey one time star
player of the old Tuxedo Ball
team. Freddies friends took him to
a doctor. He was not seriously
hunt. John Harvey boasted that
he could whip any man on the
HSS bench. His challenge was
quickly accepted by Freddie who
squared off and let go a right
that knocked Mr. Harvey down.
Ho stepped back to let John get
up when John decided to get up he
grabbed a baseball bat and sock
ed Freddie on the head. This all
started on 3rd base when Tapley
was i-afe on a bad throw. A little
misunderstanding between Tapley
and Wen. “Penn” Franklin arose,
then Hall of the HSS, short stop
per cafe over to intervene and he
and Hezzie Stewart begin to fight
which was quickly stopped be
tore any damage was done, i ne
playing field was a mass of hu
manity was impossible to restore
order. After about 30 minutes of
free for all the cops arrived. The
first question the cops asked was
who had guns. There was no
guns had by anybody if they
lid there was none in in sight
then. The copn went o-n to remark
that they would stop the game
from being played on 22 Burdette
I’m not santioning fights or any
unlawful act but why condemn
15000 for what 4 or 5 people do.
What we need is a policeman to
keep the crowds back so some of
those kids and grown ups won’t
get hurt. They crowd on the field
so thick -the players don’t have
enough room to run after the
ball. We need a policeman to
stop those young kids who spec
ialize in making trouble by snatch
ing bags of peanuts off the ven
der wagons. Two kids (white)
were selling peanuts. Eight kids
raided them and .took them all.
We don’t approve of such action.
That’s why we want law and
order. We have 2 or 3 thousand
people over there every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday and the
public enjoy the games. So why
let a few break up the pleasure of
the majority. I am sure if the
Park Commissioner is asked he
will afford the right protection.
HAPPENINGS ON 22nd & BUR
DETTE ST.
Wednesday, July 26
Hezzie Muffins ran the youth
ful 4C something awful. The score
7 to 4. Somehow it seems the 4C
dub just can’t beat hezzies stars,
but they put forth every effort to
jeat the HSS. On paper the HSS
iave the best team or is that the
HSS play the Stars too cheap. The
iC team hustle all the time every
:eam in the league play awful
bard against the HSS but don’t
srt>m to bear down as hard when
hey £ieet the 4C Woodson Cen
er or the Stars. Looks like they
ret a real kick 9»t of knocking
VIose outfits over.
Mose’s HSS beat Woodson Cen
er 3-2 in a well played game but
lidn’t score the winning run un
til the 6th. This boy Franklin is
missed awful bad on 3rd base. If
Franklin on 3 base, Freddie Har
ris on 2nd base and Perry Harris
tenth man Vanis in center, Mil
ton Moore in right, put Cowboy in
left then the HSS will be hard to
beat. They have hitting power and
the best infield. In fact they got
the best team only need a few mi
ner changes. There is no use of
talking moral support is needed
to win ball games. It seem like
all the 1 or 2 thousand fans pull
and root against Mose but he keep
on winning.
On July 28
Hezzie Stars won a raggety game
from Woodson Center score 8 to
2. Woodson Center is like a horse
in and out. They play unbeatable
ball on day come back the next
and play a sorrowful game. They
got a real good team. In fact they
got .the best season player on ei
ther team. Weak on pitchers. Their
best bet is Ace. But you got to
catch him right or he is wilder
than male lion in Africa. On the
same day, the 4C beat the HSS
in a weird contest score 12 to 9.
The game had more thrills than
you could have witnessed in a cir
cus. First HSS in the lead, then
the 4C in the lead. That game was
any body’s contest until the last
man was out. That was a very
hard game for Mose to lose. Hall
that brilliant short stopper made
■ ■ ■ ' ■ 1—-—
a sensational catch when Doodle
rey fumbled an easy fly ball. That
Hall waii right to catch it after
it bounce out of Doodle rey hand
to save 2 more scores. The scores
would indicate a roten game but
on the contrary, the game was ve
ry good, packed with excitement
and thrills, with a huge crowd in
attendance, about 2000 fans. The
outfield was packed with cars
made ground rules necessary What
| they need over at 22nd Burdett
St. is a cop to keep the fans out
j of the playing field. It takes up
too much of Mart’s time to keep
tho crowd back and begin to get
dark before the games are fin
ished. The smaller kids crowd a
rournl the base line and the ball
player have very sharp spikes on
their shoes. If one of the players
stepped on one of the kids the re
sults would be serious injury may
be a big doctor bill or a broken
leg. Mart homas does the best
he can to keep them back but as
scon as he starts to umpire the
game they crawl right back and
the older fans crowd the players
off the bench. Maybe if we all
get together and ask the Park
Commissioner to build a larger
stand, you can’t tell, he may do it.
Also ask him for some slides and
other playground equipment so
the smaller kids can enjoy them
selves while the game is in pro
gress. Sooner or later some of
them kids are going to get hurt,
'o lets get together and ask for
what we want. They have all sorts
of play grounds in the white sec
room for a wading pool and
swings at 22nd Burdett St. Maybe
Charley Payne can help our cause
also the State Senator.
__nOo
Monday, July 31. The 41 beat
Woodson Center 6 to 5 in a five
inning game. The game was packed
with thrills and frills.
Mr. George Bryant, Director of
th0 Omaha Civic band was on hand
to dish out his popular music. The
crowd was well pleased. Just as
many listened to .the band as wit
nessed the game. Thank you, Mr.
Bryant, don’t let a little incident
I like what happened keep you from
coming back soon.

Recards fingered the gofgeouslj
woven belt and smiled. At length
he said. “Believe it or not, Leo
but this is an Inca belt."
Zaner grinned tolerantly. “Now
I’ll tell one; what’s it doing out ol
Its showcase?"
, “I know this sounds a bit Incredi
ble,” Recards spoke again, “but
I'll bet every penny that I own that
this particular belt is woven after
the design of VIRACOCHA—the sea
foam god of the Incas.”
Leo played with the shiny blads
i of his hunting knife with delibera
tive movements. At last he faced
Recards and asked seriously:
"What makes you believe this so
strongly?”
“Listen, Leo,” replied Recards,
half excitedly, “I have been study
ing Inca lore for many years and
everything which I have read
points to the fact that this belt waa
made by an Inca Indian. And noth
ing can convince me that it wasn’t.”
“Hmn,” said Leo. “You certain
ly are sure of yourself. Well, you
are supposed to know your archae
ology; so I guess that you know
what you are talking about. And
It’s possible that the big fellow
whom we fought recently could b*
an Inca warrior.”
“I’m not very sure about the In
ca part,” Interrupted the older man.
"But I do know that he has plenty
of warrior in him; my head still
hurts.”
Zaner rubbed his own head. “You
said it—that Indian certainly could
take care of himself.”

A. Now here's just the thing for hot
formal nights. It’s simple in lines, but
attractive as the deuce, and should
look equally well on anyone, no matter
what complexion. For best results it
should be done in white mousseline de
soie, writh a black crepe under skirt.
Note the interesting neckline, and how
the yoke comes down under the wide
belt and flows down to floor length.
B. Bathing suits are snappy, attrac
tive and brief this year, so here’s one
in keeping with the general trend. It's
in a form fitting lastex (of any colov
you like best, as long as it doesn’t
scream at you) cut rather low in front
and in a V shape in the back. It laces
both sides (in a contrasting color if
yxiu like) right up to the waist. But
for goodness sake make sure the lac
ing cord is durable, or it might be em
barrassing no end.
