Barman Smashes the
Auto Records Made
By Barney Oldfield
One Hundred and Thirty-Eight Milei
' Per Hoar Pace it Set on Straight
away Course at Dayton.
DAYTONIA. Fla., April 22. ((Special Tel
egram.) Man moved nearer the limit of
speed thla morning over the flat awaep
of Daytonla beach. Robert Burman
Burman smashed two automobile straight
away records. Thea were formerly held
by Barney Oldfield, who said he had
reached "tha limit of speed."
Burman drove the mile In 28.12 aeconda
and the kilometer In 137 aeconda. Old
field a records for these dlatancea ware
r.tt aeconda and 17.04 aeconda.
A mile In 28.12 aeconda means an approx
' Imate average apeed of 1. mile aa hour.
There Is ho question about the American
Automobile association accepting the mile
and the kilometer records. The trials were
held under the aupervialon of that associa
tion. "I have raced automobilea for years,"
aid Burman after tha race, "but I shall
never experience auch aensatlona again.
They were terrific. I felt aa If my body
was gradually being spread out In the
back of the seat. Tha wind resistance boat

leas to move forward. The control of the
wheel waa difficult. Any second 1 dreaded
tha car dashing ltaelf free from me and
kidding across the sands. In front the
wheel were doing a wlerd dance' and tha
wind, laahed by the great 'speed, bellowed

not hear clearly now. I tell you 1 was
glad when tha line waa crossed.
20X1X0 GAME STIRS LONDON
Hack Melatosk Given Credit fa
Boom EalatlaaT There.
LONDON, April 24. London aeems to be
boxing erasy. Tha bom la In large part due
to Hugh L. Mclntoah, tha Australian pro
motor, who. In partnership with Jimmy
Brltt, the ex-American champion, has al
ready put forward a aeries of con testa
which are In themselves indicative of fare
to follow. In London alone there are nearly
10,000 men who are either directly or Indi
rectly making a living out of tha boxing
game.
The majority of the Bouth Loodon music
halls run matinees once or twice a week,
while at the Ring. King s Hall and Won
derland huge programs are arranged at
least a couple of tlmea a week. In no In
tancea are the prices small, yet It la a
remarkable fact that on almost every oc
casion the places are filled.
' That much money la at present being
mad may be taken for granted, but there
are two aides, for, aa usual, tha number
of Small fry greatly outnumber thoae who
have made reputations.
In tha smaller halla tn participants in
tha bouts are engaged for a few shillings,
aad aa a rule, they are much more bat
tared than the men In the fig flghta for
tha big purse. The anxiety of these young
tera ta win supplies an almost pathetlo
tale, for to them aa much aa tha big men
a defeat la of consequence.
How long tha boom will last. Is. of course,
a matter of uncertainty, but It la at the
moment muck bigger than the wrestling
boom Of a few years back. Crowded houses
are tha rule, especially In the afternoons,
but It is a fact of Interest that In one
or. two neighborhoods of London, boxing
baa not proved an attraction.
HO far no attempt baa h made ta atop
the conteats, but It would not create sur
prise if by and by some object iona were
raised. It need only be said, however,, that
the flghta are Invariably conducted in an
excellent fashion, and at leaat In one case
women are eapeclally Invited and are pro
Aided with reeerved Beats, which. In addi
tion, are screened.
There la an absence of brutality, the
majority of the conteeu are dlatlngulahed
by the extreme fairness of the men in the
ring, and In many ways the sport Is con
duced In a much better fashion than sev.
oral other kinds which could ba mentioned.

LINCOLN. April E.-fSperlnU-Th open
In of the trark f im for the University
of Nbraska will find the Cornhuskers In
the hext of trim for the dual meet with
the Ames Aggies next Haurday. Very little
la known of the strength of the Aggies and
I "'"' toe v omnuKKere may te aue lor a
surprise. It la believed by the roaches that
very 111 tie diffic ulty will be experienced
In taking the Angles Into ramp.
The squad has had the longeat and hard
est tranlng season ever undergone by
CornhiiKker. athletes. Beginning early In
the spring, the Comhurkera remained dur
ing the ffprlng vacation In order to get
j Into better condition. The weekly track
meet at which all of the squad were
eligible to take part and the big home
meet has ftroued more Interest In track
work an haa Indured collegiate stare of
Bellevue. Doane and Hastings, who have
played their alloted time and henre are
not eligible to participate In the Mlaaourl
valley meeeta, to take part In the home
meets. The augmented alxe of the aquad
haa resulted In considerable rivalry among
the members for place In the weekly
meets.
Nebraska will be weak In the distance
run, It Is feared, and In some of the field
events. The high Jump Is the Cornhuaker's
bliigeet bugaboo and although Christina
and Hlltner have been daily working out
in this event, neither have shown sufficient
ability to Justify any hope. Both are about
evenly matched. Christmas la alao doing
considerable practice In the sprints, but
with May. Powers and Reed eligible for
the dashes, It la altogether Importable that
Christmas will have an opportunity to
Mart In the sprints. Gibson haa been show
Ing such form in the four-forty yard dash
that he Is likely to be selected as a run
ning mate for Captain Reed.
L'nlesa Powers Is savtd for the hurdle,
May and Powera will undoubtedly start In
the hundred yard dah for the Cornhuskers.
Iteed and May will probably be the team
In the two-twenty yard dash, while Reed
and Cthnon look like the entries for the
four-forty.
Good l.onar-nutaace Material.
In the half-mile run there la considerable
material, but the failure of McGowan to
round into physical condition haa ma
terially weakened the chances of the Corn
huskers. Mcowan broke the Missouri Val
ley record laat year with but three daye'
practice, and should he appear strong
enough to run the race again this spring
he will not need practice. Anderaon la the
other started In the half-mile run.
Melick and Anderson are the entries for
the mile and two-mile events. Russell and
Powera will run the high and low hurdles.
In the field events, Munaon, who holds the
university record In the broad Jump, Is
still eligible, and haa shown good form
In practice. Collins and Harmon are
handling the weights and should be point
winners for the Cornhuskers In these
events, although Collins is particularly
strong In the hammer throw, and thla haa
been discarded by the Missouri Valley
conference. Gibson la throwing the dlacua.
Tha pole vault la cared for by Llndstrum
and Russell, so that tha Cornhuaker team
looks good on paper, with the exception of
the high Jump, the distance runs and the
relay team.' Reed and Powera are the
veterana on the relay team and hare suffi
cient speed to put the Cornhuskers In the
running all of the time, but the other two
members have been unable to round out a
winning quartet. Coach Field Is devoting
special attention to the relay team now.
Athletic Board Flaht.
The athletic board fight has developed
into a factional quarrel again among mem
bers of the various fraternities. Owen
Frank la the latest candidate to announce
himself. Frank waa a member . of the
board during his freshmen' year, but when
a candidate laat year, was defeated. He Is
regarded as a strong candidate and has
taken a prominent part in all branchea of
athletics, having won hla "N" In foot ball
for two seasons, In base ball and In basket
ball.
Shonka, Rathbone, Reed, Chauner and
Amberson, who are new members of the
board, will not be applicants again. Cher
rlngton doea not intend to enter tha race
either. Chauner haa withdrawn from
school and Rathbone la serving In hla
atead. The race probably will narrow down
to ten catfQldatea and owing to the various
"tteupa" already reported it la expected
that the election will result in a badly
split vote.
The interclaas athletic board of tha uni
versity has a big problem on Its hands at
present and tha matter may come before
the members of the Cornhuaker athletto
board unless a solution Is obtained before
long. ,
Freshmen In tha university ar rebelling
against the Missouri valley conference rulp,
which prevents the scheduling of games
outside the university for the freshmen
teams. When the Interclaaa gamea come,
the board eliminates all freshmen who
regarded aa varaity caliber, so that the
freshmen team work Is completely broken
up for the Interclaaa games. Tha elimina
tion of six of Uie freshmen from participa
tion in the intcrolass foot ball champion
ship last fall ralaed a big howl among the
first year men and particularly the players.
They objected to reporting for practice
eacU evening If they were to be eliminated
from taking part In the class games or
ware not permitted to play outside teams,
as haa been done in th epast. The same
thing happened to the freshmen basket
ball team and although tha first year men
were nearly as strong as the varsity, ths
elimination of their stars under ths claaa
regulatlona made it impossible for them to
even make a strjng showing In the inter
claaa championship. Tha election of tha
athletio board to do away with collegiate
foot ball haa remedied the situation In
thla sport, but the board muat take stepa
In ths other branches of sport.
XVhat action will ba taken Is largely a
matter of conjecture, but ths probable re
sult la to bring the rule to the attention
Of the Missouri valley conference In regard
to the scheduling of outside games by
university freshmen. The Cornhuskers are
not Inclined to swallow Some of the other
rules Imposed by the conference, so thai
the Cornhuaker. may be depended upon
to raise a nice atew when the rules com
mittee meets again. '

Eugene Silver, who is managing the big

June 6 to 11, stated Saturday that entries
for the event would amply fill each day
with races.
The aero man plan to come to Omaha
the latter part of May or If that la not
satisfactory perhaps the middle of that
month. They would furnish numerous in
teresting flights each day, as there are
thirty-five men In the parly, ten of whom
are regular flyers. One of the Interesting
races would be a handicap event between
an aeroplane and an automobile.
Tho Omaha Aero olub will hear from the
biro men some time In the next week as
to what proposition they will make Omaha.
It Is understood that aa Omaha can give
them practically any open date this spring
they will make a very reasonable proposi
tion, j. J. Derlght, president of the club,
is making th arrangements with the Mols

Clabs.Lnlto for Meets.
"Th Omaha Motor club and the Omaha

make them the biggest raoes that. Omaha
or ths middle west sver saw. And without
boasting I think w can aay that our aero

"Th Moiaaant brothers, who wish to

With them is Rene Simon, the man who
flew over the Insurrecto camp at Juarex,
Mexico, recently and who is popularly
known aa the "fool flyer." Rene Barrier,

Ralph Duff ofNebraska City, the new

be' held each Saturday and Sunday.

Manager Silver haa sent out invitations
to many of the famous drivers of the
country and he will probably hear from
th majority of them shortly after May
1. Chevrolet or Burman, the one with a
Bulck car. and tha other with either a

Following the big meet in June tha next
event of racing importance outatde of
Omaha will probably be one of the races
of ths grand national circuit here in July.
No arrangements have been made for
this aa the time la far ahead, but this
event Is Omaha's tryout and ths local
motorists, represented by the Omaha
Motor club are anxious to make a good
getaway.
The proposition of where to put the
crowd after they have entered the gates
la going to be an easy one for ths rsclng
people, but the transportation one looks
harder. Th street car is now extended
to th Elm wood park entrance, but as the
track is some distance beyond this it has
been decided that until aoma street car

will be used to. carry the people back and

tion of the traftlQ In liquors that formed
th b'asla of the strict law afterward en-'
acted through ths efforts of Neal Dow.
Mr. Appleton was then a resident cf Port
land, the home of ths Dows, and Neal
Dow, who was born In IsOi, was already
a eltlsen of considerable promlnenoe. Mr.
Appleton afterward returned to Ipswich,
where he died In ISO. The result of his
advocacy of prohibition was to be felt
for many years after his famous report
was laid befor his Colleagues.
Mr. Dow'g Quaker training predisposed
him to favor any reform that promised
to better social conditions, and he was
an early advocate of the absolute prohibi
tion of ths trade in Intoxicating liquors.
In 1861 be was elected mayor of Portland,
and on of his earliest acts was ths draft
ing of "a bill for the suppression of drink
ing houses and tippling shops. When the
proposed statute waa shown to the lead
ers of th temperauoe movement In Port
land they opposed It on account of Its
radical character, which they believed
doomed It to defeat In the legislature.
Its author waa not to be turned from his
project becauss hla proposal waa too good,
and be personal lyt ook th draft to Augusta,
where the lawmakers wsrs In sesalon.
Mayor Dow waa able to get a publlo
hearing for his bill. This was held In the
hall of th house of representatives. Leg
islators and cltlsens crowded the room.
At the end of the hearing th legislative
committee unanimously accepted his meas
ure. It was printed the sams night The
following day was th Isst of ths session,
and th Dow bill was hurried through all
th parliamentary stages to final enactment
without change.
The statute provided for searches of
suspected places, the seizure of goods and
their destruction, and for the punishment
of violator of tbs law by fines and im
prisonment. As tho "Dow law" or the
"Main law" It became th model for
prohibition legislation throughout the na
tion. Its author became Internationally
famous as an odvocats of temperance.
Three times bs went to England to speak
agatnat the liquor trade, and his trips
through America were too numerous to
be recounted. Tet he found time to serve
gallantly in ths Civil wsr, receiving two
wounds at Port Hudson and afterward
undergoing eight months of imprisonment.
The history of the law waa the earn aa
that of similar laws In other states. It
waa enforced strictly in some places, care
lessly In others; applied with great rigor
at some times and allowed to fail Into
abeyance at other. Certain communities
practically licensed liquor sellers by Insti
tuting a system of arrests and fines, on
payment of whlcb the dealers were allowed
to go unmolested for well understood pr
lode. Ths bootleggers snd the Vespers of
blind tigers thrived, snd except for brief
Intervals the people of Maine had no dif
ficulty tn assuaging their thirst.
This condition could not be otherwise
than unsatisfactory to the advocates of
prohibition, and after a while the agitation
for constitutional prohibition began. It was
felt that one Incorporated In the funda
mental law the policy would be Irrevocably
fixed on the state. This agitation enllated
Mr. Dow's most energetlo support and re
sulted In the submission to the voters tn
1884 of sn amendment to the constitution
In which It was declared that the manu
facture, sale and keeping of intoxicating
beverages was forever forbidden. The leg
lalature was ordered to pass suitable laws
to make the prohibition effective. The
amendment was carried by a popular vote
of nearly three to on.
In th generation that- has passed nine

ment there has been a persistent effort to
obtain resubmission snd sn unceasing st
tempt to devise a system under which the
Intent of Its authors could be realised.
Numerous laws, countless popular move
ments, the selection of devoted prohibition
advocates as peace and prosecuting of
ficers have been tried. At present the en
forcement of th laws Is entrusted to a
special commission, which acta InrfAtMin-
dently of the sheriffs or police. The ques
tions or enforcement and of resubmission
have entered Into the consideration of
every publlo problem, affected nartv an.

Last fall democratic majorities were
chosen to both chambers of the legisla
ture and a democratic governor was

pulled off on the campus. elghton sue.
climbed to defest before Highland Park
yesterday afternoon, by the sior of 11 to 7.
Th game was more Interesting than 1ht
score would Indicate, too. fir In nearly
every Inning a rally was started, but
usually died without adding to the tale
Crelghton started off In whirlwind fash
ion. In Its f'.rst half McKee gained first
on an error to Joseph. Kyle and Kellv
popped out. In anoverthrow to catch him
at aocond McKee reached third and gal
loped home on Kronek's fly to left fielder,
who, being bumped by center, dropped It.
Kronek gained, third In same fashion ss
predecessor and on the catcher's miss
crossed th plate. Mattson fanned out and
ended the Inning leaving Crelphton two
scores to the good.
Tn the second Inning the pitcher walked
Ruasom. who tallied by a Merles of bad
throws.
The Highlanders, In th thlr. got on the
Job to test the Infield's mettle, which In
tlh sinning was not equal to the test. When
the Inlng waa over the visitors had scored
Iwo runs and these at the expense of errors.
The next slipped by rather quietly, but In
the fifth and sixth Crelghton scored In
each and seemed to have cinched the game.
Their hopes were In vain, however, for
the unhappy eighth decided the result.
Paul Kelly pitched a rather steady game
up to this but the Highlanders now seemed
to take kindly to his pleasant pellrts.
r-lmpson started th rally with a swat for
three raps, and scored on Hohson's Texas
lesguer. Warren flics, but Is followed by
Welmer and Joor with successive singles.
Jones grounded to Kelly, who missed, and
scored Wrlmer. With each corner occupied
Welch driven neat single over second bag,
scoring two, and Joseph follows suit equal
ing the feat by two more, but Is caught
.stretching It to second. The six runs scored
put the odd now at 8 to 6.
Crelghton gslned one In Its half, on'y to
be handicapped by three more for Highland
Park In the ninth, in Its laat half Crelghton
made a desperate attempt to even, but re
tired with a Ions run. which campleted the
tale, with Crelghton enacting the sorrow
ful part.
Despite the errors, which stsnd out con
spicuously, the gam was characterised
with some neat drives when most needed.
Nothing sensational happed, but the nearest
approach to It was Kronek's stab of a high
fly that caused him to reverse his position
In respect to the earth to get It.
