In the first Inning at Pueblo Friday two
Omahans walk and yet the team can't
score. Fine!
Washington has a new center fielder In
Milan. He failed to get a hit in the two
games Friday.
Grant Is a new third baseman In ths Phil
adelphia Nationals. He made two hits In
the first game Friday.
Both Moren and Mathewson pitched a
three-hit game Friday, but Moren lost his
game because of a wild throw.
The Philadelphia lineup shows Collins out
of the game, but the Athletics took a
double header from New York Friday Just
the same.
Johnny Jones has retired for the season
and Holmes has sent for Zackert, who has
been pitching One ball for a month at
Waterloo, la.
King, Autrey and Belden were oa hand
with plenty of hits Friday to win an ordi
nary game, but the others did not come in
with the "timely."
Lincoln and Bloux City probably hold the
bun for town lot ball by their game Fri
day, when the score in runs waa 19 to 13
and errors I to 9.
King proves to be one of ths biggest
finds Omaha has ever made, "Home run
with two on base In the ninth" doesn't
that sound like It 7
Omaha )s scheduled for games In Omaha
with Des Moines next Monday and Tues
day. The teams cannot reach Omaha for
the Monday game, and It Is now the Inten
tion to play hero Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday.
Omaha may win the pennant, but not on
Its record In Colorado. There Is little ex
cuse for losing games the way the Rourkes
have done on this lsst trip. They are fix
ing themselves for the roost questionable
up-hill finish. . -
Some of the Rourkes have played miser
able ball out west, but fKtls King has
maintained his high standard. Friday hs
did all in his power to save the game by
driving a home run In the ninth lnntng
when two were on bases.
If It la true that Mordecal Brown will be
unable to pilch any more until next spring
It mesns much to the Cubs In their rare
with Philadelphia for the world's series.
There are many fans who think, even with
Brown In shape, the Athletics, with their
battery of southpaws, will skin the Cubs.
Of course the Cubs have a pitcher or two
besides Brown.
Few ball plsyers who have come from
the majors back to ths minors have main
tained their standards as well as Hogrlever
of Des Motnea. Hoggte la still a leader at
the bat. on the bases and In the Inside
game. His value to Des Moines, together
With that of Dexter, cannot be estimated.
And Hostile haa become a far leas belliger
ent person than be waa la former years.
Some fans are disposed to discount the
Influence of Jimmy Collins In Philadelphia
by pointing to the spurt of Boston sines
Collins left. That isn't a fair proposition
at all. Whlls Jim MoGulre, who took Boa
ton when Collins left, has wrought won
ders. It will be admitted by all Informed
fans that Jimmy's heart was no longer In
his work at ths Hub. He thought hs had
been badly Used and he never would have
played his. best again, but his old enthus
iasm was rekindled when be Joined the
Athletics and he turned himself loose. As
Boston s rlee dates from Collins' departure,
so Philadelphia s rise dates from Lis ar
rival there.

REMITTANCE MAN FOUND DEAD
Mystery Surrounding- William L.
Graves of St. Louis ait
Last Cleared.
CHICAGO, Bept 7. William L.' Graves,
the mysterious 81 a day remittance man,
who has been an enigma to Bt. Louis for
twenty years, yesterday. Drink was
the cause of his death, and the event
served to clear up the mystery of the man's
Identity. Charles E. Graves, president of
Charles E. Graves tt Co., Jewelers, Madison
street and Wabash avenue, admitted last
night that the dead dlpsomanlao waa his
brother. The dollar a day on which the
dead man lived was provided by his
brother.
"I spent seven years trying to save him,"
said Mr. Graves. "I was forced at last
to give him up. However, I could not let
him starve and for the past twenty years
he has received $1 a day. Since his twen
tieth year he has been in the clutch of
drink and every remedy on earth failed to
save him."
The death of William Graves was In
keeping with his life. He was found un
conscious from the effects of liquor in the
basement of an east St Louis saloon and
expired on his way to the hospital In the
police ambulance. In his pocket was found
an envelope addressed to Thomas Rudd
treasurer of the Graves company. The
envelope inclosed a postal, on the back
of which was written. "Yours of the fourth
received," apparently au acknowledgement
of the last dollar.
Graves was about 45 years old. He spent
practically his entire time In saloons and
In the company of section hands. He ap
peared at times to make an effort to redeem
himself and for weeks was observed to be
punctilious in the matter of shaving and
linen, but these fits of repentance gradually
became shorter and farther between.
Graves had . a wife, son ' and daughter
in Chloago, but they have long since re
garded him as dead.
LUSITANIA'S TRIP IS RACE
Maiden Voynsje of llngre Cunnrder
Will Test Ability to Cover
Distance.
NEW YORK, Bept 7.-The advent of no
hip was ever watched with keener inter
est than that displayed in the maiden
voyage of the huge Cunard steamer Lusl
tanla, which will sail from Liverpool for
New York this evening. The Lusltanla,
which Is expected to travel at a sustained
speed of 26 knots an hour, represents a
new departure in marine architecture, so
far as its engines are concerned, and
shipping men are deeply Interested to see
Just how they will act. The engines are
of the turbine type, heretofore considered
too costly to run for commercial use.
Added interest ts given to the trip of
the Lusltanla by the fact that the man
agers of the Cunard line will start for
New York the Lucanta, hitherto their fast
est ship and the record holder for ths
trip from Queenstown to New York, a
few hours before the departure of the
new steamer. It will actually be a race
and will thoroughly test, the capabilities
of the two types of steamers.

FOOT BALL ON THE CAMPUSES

BELLEVUE GETS A NEW COACH
Faeee Difficult Task to Hold Title
a State Champion Student
Will Coach High
School. . -
Bellevue, the high school. Diet! Athlsth, -association,
the business colleges and other '
Institutions have signified their Intention
of putting foot ball teams on the gridiron
this fall. With the completion ot the car '
line to Bellevue It Is but a short run for
Omaha people to make the Journey, to that'
beautiful burg to witness the games played,
on the college campus. Crelghton will play
both on Its college campus and at Vinton
Street park and the Omaha High school
tsam will play at Vinton and Diets parka,
Bellevue has a difficult task on Its hands
to maintain the reputation as state cham
plon because of the loss of so much of Its
old material A majority of the cracks
which went to make op last year's team
have left the college and It Is now up to
the captain and coach to find new material
among the Increasing number of students)
In the college. The Benson boys will be
missing this year, as well as many of
the others who have helped to make the
name of Bellevue famous on the gridiron.
Coach Crow has his work set out before
him In getting together a bunch of new
material which will make good.
The Omaha High school team manage
ment Is to be placed In the hands ot a
student manager this season and the boys
will have more latitude In which to work
than they have had for some time. There
Is no reason why the Omaha High school,
should not have a splendid foot ball team
and It Is up to the boys themselves to see ,
that they have one which will be a credit x
to the school and which will be able to
play from the start of the season to tho ,
close without having to cancel gsmea at
the . end of the schedule because of a k
falling off In the Interest of the players
themselves because they have been beaten .
a few times.
Little Chana-e In Rules.
The actual matter of the rules has not -been
materially changed owing to the satis
faction that was found with the -wholesale '
revision which took place In tho rules of
1906." The particular detail of the few
alterations follows later. . .
Meanwhile, It Is worth while to look over
the new arrangement and the headings,
which will give a fair Idea of the general
plan.
First come the rules relating to the field
and the ball. Then those relating to the
number of players and substitutes, then, ,
the length of the game and scoring. Fol- '
lowing these come definitions of all the ,
terms used. This group of definitions Is .
followed by rules relating to the kick-off,
and the position of players on scrimmage
as well as kick-off, kick-out, punt-out and
place-kick, also' on tree kicks. Then come
sections covering the putting ot the ball
In play and the detail of the game. Follow
Ing these, unlawful interference with play, ,
obstruction of opponents, passing or throw-.
Ing the ball, and on-slde and off-side. Then
the rules relating to the necessary gain on .
downs and distance of the kick, aa well aa,
a description of a try-at-gosl.
The next two groups govern the conduct
of players as well as the conduct ot per
sons other than players. Following these
come penalties and the duties of the offi
cials, with brief ofj rules over which each
has control. Appended to these are note
giving briefly the suggestions and Interpre
tations placed on the rules.
The main alterations are as follows: An:
Increased length of the game. Owing to.i
the fact that It waa found, under the newi
rules the players were rather less exhausted'
than in the old game. It was determined
to Increase the playing time' another ten
minutes by adding five minutes to each
half.
It waa voted to continue the method of
two umpires, but to define their duties more
specifically, so that one would aid the
referee In decisions down the field. This
one Is practically an assistant to the referee
and Is called the field Judge. The other,'
generally speaking, has control of ths deci
sions that belong to the lineup.'
Ten-Yard Rale Same. '
The ten-yard rule la preserved exactly as
before, that Innovation having met with
almost general approval. In that It made
far less effective anything like mass playa
and forced the open play which everyone
so much desired.
Forward passing has been altered to a
certain extent making It less risky- to use
it on the first and second down. Instead,
of losing the ball In case the forward pas
strikes the ground before striking a player
of either side, the same side retains posses
sion of the ball by losing fifteen yards -in
distance. When the forward paaa is es- .
sayed on the third down, however.- and it
strikes the ground without striking a
plsyer, or la otherwlae made Illegally, tho
ball must be surrendered to the other elds
exactly as formerly. a
In order to cover a point upon which
there waa some discussion last year, the
following legislation was enacted: That a
line man may carry the ball," provided he
does not leave his position In the line Until
the ball Is put In, play.
It was also determined that the forward
psss or tripping op hurdling by the side
that did not put the ball In a scrimmage,
should be penalised fifteen yards.
In order to more clearly settle the point
about the rlghta of a aide on a fair catch.
It was enacted that a man should be re
garded as having an opportunity to make
a fair catch when It waa possible for him
to reach the ball before It should atrlko the
ground.
In order to prevent signalling by one man
and a. catch and run by . another. It was
legislated 'that If one man of the side
algnals his Intention of making a fair eaten,
and then another of his side, who did not
signal, makes the catch, this player may
not run with the ball nor la he entitled M)
the privileges coming from a fair catch,
butthe ball must be put down at the polas)
where he caught It for a scrimmage by hat
side.
All questions of hurdling were put wit
the Jurisdiction of the referee. ' ' '
