ROURKES TURNJON THE S0XJ Rangers Take Hard Fought Game from Chicago Americans. CLOSMAN AND HIOKS WINNERS "Game called at o'clock." The above words will appear In the regular base ball advertisements run In the various Omaha newspapers this sum mer. Pa Rourko haa definitely decided to call the frames' this year at that hour, believing that It will, prove beneficial, both to the fans and the management. Two years ago, and previous to that time, all games In Omaha were called at 3:45. This hour proved to be some what late for a certain class of fans and the time last year was set at 8:30, fif teen minutes earlier than tho year before. But oven then the fans could not get out to the games as often as they wished. So Itourke, in the hope of satisfying the demandB of the supporters of the team, has finally decided to start all games this year at 3 o'clock, with the exception of double headers, when the first game will be called at 3 o'clock, the same as yca'rs past A Questionable Hour. At present It Is a question with a large number of fans whether this hour for starting ball games will prove a success in Omaha. In a city of larger propor tions. In point of population, 3 o'clock would not be one minute too early. But here In Omaha, where -the business men are outnumbered by their employes, thero Is room f,or discussion. But tho best 'way out of lUls-to -try it out and It Is with this In mind that Pa Itourke has declde'd on the earlier 'hour. Thero are certain classes of tans In Omaha who. will be able to attend this year, if tjjegaraes start at 3 o'clock, who could not attend as often as they wished in years past The majority of the per sons who attended games heretofore will, in all pTobabllty, be able to go at the earlier hour. The business man who wishes to attend a ball game and get back to the office before the day's busi ness is completed will be able to do so this season. n jj With the games starting half an hour earlier this year the majority of the con tests should be through at 4:G0i "Very few Western league games run longer than .one hour and forty minutes.

THE Gordon HAT EDGAR L. BRIGHT. Were It not for the fact that he must displace almost a perfect fielder, and a man who will hit .300 every season. Edgar L. Bright mjght be considered cer tain of a berth with the Rourkes this season.. This is his fourth year In profes sional base ball. He Is just 23 years of age, well built and fast, and he has a record behind him for his three years of service that would recommend him to much faster company than the Nebraska State league, with which he has been connected. Bright broke Into the pro- fesslonsl game In 1910, as utility man on the Auburn club. For the first month he worked on the pitching staff, then he was sent to the outfield, on account of his hitting, closing that season, with a bat ting percentage of .334, He opened the 1911 season as a member of the Auburn club, but finished wlfn Falls City, and last ' year he was with Auburn again. During the three years he has been In tho ICanras State lesgue he has, played ! every position on the diamond, Including ' pitching and catching. He came through ' with only one crrcr chalked against him in more than 100 games last seasoa He batted around the -ZOO mark and bad twenty-two stolen base. Ed Walsh, Chief Johnson and Jim Scott Are Victims of the West ern League Bntters' and Runner. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okl .April 4.-(Spe- ctal Telegram.) Tho Rourkes beat the , Chicago Whlto Sox In the closing gamu of the Berles today, 3 to 1. "Effective" properly defines the work of Cloaman and Hicks, two of Rourke's young southpaws, who did the heaving for the victors, tho former being a re cruit, and the latter serving his second term. Big Ed Walsh, Chief Johnson and Jim Scott, were effective, too, so far as hits go, for they allowed, the Rourkes only five, yet there were walks and errors at the wrong time and tho five hits for Omaha were worth more runs than Chi cago's seven. Closman showed In tho first Inning that he had tho sttuatlon well In hand. His control was perfect, he had all kinds of stuff on the ball, and be tween him and Shestak, ho never failed to make the rlghfselectlon. When he re tired after holding the sluglgng Sox to four hits and one run In five innings, to let Neff bat for him. Hicks took the mound, his. peculiar delivery not only puzxllng the batsmen, but enabling htm to catch two runners napping off first, the last man being the third oue In the ninth Inning. During the four rouds that Hicks worked, he allowed only three hits and did not lssuo a single pass. Borton nits First. Borton was the first man to reach Closman for a hit. After having two strikes called on him. tho third acci dentally struck his bat and went Into left field for a hit. Berger lifted a high one to Thomason, who dropped It after a 'long run, yet managed to recover the ball In time to force Borton at second. Closman then fanned Weaver and Kane retired the side by taking Schalks grounder for an unassisted out. Chicago's lono tally came tn the fourth. oBrto'n doubled to left, took third on Shestak" s passed ball and counted when Berger drove one between Coyle and Thomason for two sacks. Weaver ended the inning by flying to Coyle. In the seventh, Berger's single went for nothing and so did that of Jones In the eighth, mainly through a lightning double play on Lord's hot one to Kane. Kane threw out Jones at second andd received the ball at first again before the speedy Lord could get to the sack. Omaba Scores on Errors. Although Thomason connected with Walsh's delivery for a single In the first and Grubb for a double in the second, it was not until the fourth round that Omaha could make the circuit, and then they did It without a hit. Congalton got a life on an error by Buck Weaver, Kane dumped a beautiful sacrifice, lacking only inches of making It good for a satefy. Then Chief Johnson, who had succeeded Walsh, heaved a wild pitch and Congal ton stole home while Lord and Job peon were chasing tho ball after Schalk had caught Grubfs foul and' had thrown it Into the diamond. That was the end of the big Indian pitcher, for Jim Scott was proclaimed pitcher In time to receive the bumps. Ncff, hitting for Closman. waited for four wide ones and trotted to first. -Justice expected to sacrifice, but Scott became so determined not to let htm do It that he threw four balls. A sacrifice by Ooyle and a wild pitch by Scott let Neff home, and Justice scored a minute later when Thomason hooked a single to left. Thomnson Some Hitter. Thomason singled In tho ninth, but was caught trying to steal second. ConbsJ ton also hit safely, yet died on first Poo re: rouof-d-th xsT..mbgmgmgmf fff bmxm CHICAGO. AB. It it. O. A. B.

The ncore was IS to 6, when, after more than two hours' toll, the last man had been fanned the Omaha-White Sox game yesterday, and Chicago had the eighteen. So many Western leaguers were . at fault, thero Is no man on whom all the blame can be placed, Norman Coyle hod three errors In loft field in five chances, Bchlpko bobbled twice and Justice, Thom ason and Johnson once each, a total of eight. Lots was touched for three, hits and threo runs In the fifth, the first In ning ho pitched, four hits and three more runs In tho seventh, three hits, good for as many tallies In tho olchth, and a home run, a throe-bagger an1 three slnslcs In the ninth. Of tho twenty safeties piled up by tho Sox, sixteen were garnered off him. i Good name Up to Fifth. Until tho slaughter of Lots began It (was a good game. Clean hitting by Rnth and Collins gave the Sox a marker iu tho opening round. Thomason was safe on ah error In Omaha's half and Congalton pdld a neat single to right but It counted for nothing. In tho fourth Chicago made another on a pass to Jones, followed by Weaver's two-Backer. Omaha came right back, Kane walking, taking socond on Weav er's error, stealing third and then pass ing tho pan when Schlpke dropped a hit Into right Chicago again stepped out in the fol lowing round, registering threo on Coyle's muff of White's hlgn one, singles by Rath and Lord, followed by Collins' double, only to have Omaha scoro a like number in the second half on singles by Coyle. Congalton and' Kane and doubles by Grubb and Johnson. Lunge Holds Them. Doo White went to tho bench after Omaha had scoredthree runs off him In tho fifth. Lange, who succeeded him, held the Omahas at his mercy when hits meant runs until the last round. Then Coyle got to first whn Mattlck let his ldnx fly fall to the ground. Thomason was an easy out at first but Congalton drove u lilt over second, sending Coyle home. This was tho end, for Kano filed out to left-tuid Grubb had threo strikes called on him. Scoro: OMAHA.

Tho fight occurred Just as the train was pulling Into this city from Kansas City. The Journal this afternoo.i declares the training trip has not been us har monious as 1iad been expected. Evers, the Journal learna from persons who toik tho trip, haa not been ablo to cnutrol hlu temper, and thero have been numerous minor squabbles. The new manager is said to have been rather sharp in his, criticisms and has engagod In feuds with newspaper correspondents as well as with members of his equad. While theie were no open outbreaks, resentment was ob vious nnd Semmons brought the atmlr to a crisis today. Evers Loses Temper. The fight started when Evers asked Semmons if he had ordered tho team to report for praotlcs this afternoon, tIio trainer replied that he gave such instruc tions when Instructed to do so by the manager. At this Evers lost his temper and Is said to have applied foul langiiaSe to tho trainer. The latter replied with his fist and Evers fell over into a seat. The players ended the fray and prevented further damage. He admitted using tho language to which Semmons objected, but said he did not mean It tho way the trainer took It Semmons left ths squad at the railway station. He said Manager Tinker wanted him at Cincinnati. Semmons added that ho would Ign a contract to (rain tho Cincinnati team. Disease Germs in Most Unexpected Manner.
