Saddle Mare Wins
Show Ring Honors
An Omaha saddle mare that won high
praises from Denver horse lovers for her
performance In the show ring last week

Fashion made a spectacular entrance
into tlio Coliseum, kneeling to tho audi
ence and making her prettiest bow after
entering tho gate. She then marched
across the arena and pivoted. When the
bnnlplay cd a Cakewalk Fashion tripped
the light fantastic In a manner which
made the audience enthusiastic, doing the
difficult feat of changing her gait at
regular Intervals at the same time.
The mare was handled by Tom Bass
ot Mexico, Mo., probably the best known
expert In his line In the United States.

John B. Barbour of the Pittsburgh Fed

was said tonight.
"My business affairs take up bo much

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Frank Farrell,
president of the New York Americans
said tonight he would Ignore Russell
Ford, lils formor star pitcher, who has

he will fight to the limit for "King" Cole,
the former Cub, who was drafted by the
Yankees from the Columbus club.
Farrell admitted he could do nothing
until Cole appeared In a Federal uniform.
"I will say, however, that Cole Is my
property; I Invested money In him, and
I will go to the limit to get this man,
he added.
Farrell said he believed Sweeney had
not Jumped to the new league. He ad
mitted Scout Arthur Irwin was sent to
Chicago to sign Zelder and Sweeney, but
because a member of Sweeney's lmmedl
ate family was dead, Irwin decided not
to try to do any business with the
catcher until next week.

Fighting to the end. as If the goal were

of the hardest fought basket ball games

Reatrlco High school five by tho score of
23 to SO Saturday evening in the South
Omaha gymnasium.
Tho Beatrice five looked for an easy
victory, but wero soon surprised to find
out that tho locals knew a little about
basket ball. Tho first half oponed with
both" teams rushing tho play, but Beatrice
soon forged ahead with a safe margin.
South Omaha followed up doggedly and
the first half ended with tho score of
18 to 6 In favor of Beatrice.
In the second half tho South Omaha
team played even harder than tho first
while the Beatrice team was fast becom
ing winded. Foley, the fast South Omaha
right forward got away with four baskets
In this half. Captain Herman of the
Boatrlco squad was thrown violently
against the wall and knocked almost un
conscious. Ho soon recovered and tho
game was resumed. In this period South
Omaha scored fourteen points while
Beatrice scored only nine.
Foley, the little captain of the South
Omaha team, was clearly tho star because
of his fast basket shooting and floor
work. The entire team played a splendid
game, although they were outweighed by
at least twonty-flve pounds to a man.

Selling the Goods
Without "Talk"
There are other advant
ages in the printed word
over the old stylo of
"salesmanship by conver
sation." It is true that
you can reach thousands
through tho printed word
while you are talking ,to
one customer but that
isn't tho only advantage
of the printed page in the
newspaper over tho talk
of the old-time drummer.
Tho man who tries to
sell goods through talk
wastes thousands of words
and every thousand words
means a quarter of au
hour. How often have you
seen a loquacious salesman
laboring for an hour to
soli a two dollar article
tho profit on which might
bo as much as forty cents?
If tho salesman received
four dollars a day, how
much profit did tho owner
of the store make on that
sale?
You not only reach a
largor audience through
tho printed advertising,
but you catch tho prospec
tive customer in a recep
tive mood. If ho is read
ing his newspaper ho iain
a menial attitude that
makos him responsive to
argument. Ho is far away

DUTCH PLATZ AND MURPHY MIX

vrlth Ilnaky Sioux by the
Name of Mnrphy.
Tho husky nnd somewhat rough basket
ball squadron conducted a successful In
vasion of Omnha Saturday and capped
the climax of said Invasion by plastering
warts all over a team representing tho
local high school. The boys on tho hill
wero simply outclassed becnuso not a
man on the Omaha team could shoot bas
kets when he got a free and unobstructed
chanco while tho Sioux City lads rolled
up a scoro ot twenty-five points, which
was just seven points more than Omaha
could amass.
Both teams informed Referee Hascall
that it would be appreciated If tho game
were permitted to bo "medium loose."
Hascall accommodatingly agreed and he
let tho boys romp to their hearts' con
tent. In a fow minutes Coach Stewart
appeared upon tho econo whimpering and
Pleading that little Dutch Plata bo re
strained from throwing Irish Murphy,
who weighs about thirty pounds mora
than Plate, all over the floor. The mutual
lovo between tho Irish and the Dutch was
manifested between Plats and Murphy
and tho duo had a great little scrap
whenever they wore together. Plats had
a shade on tho Sioux City chap because
ho was the fastest and he was willing to
go to tho floor while Murphy disliked to
akin his knees.
Some of the Omaha boys suffered se
vere roughings, but thoy stuck to their
Initial declaration to play loose and they
didn't object Bauman waa the roclpient
of a bloody noso, (whlch necessitated, his
removal In the second half. The lack ot
forwards who could shoot alone beat the
high sohool. With Hughes In tho gamo
It would have been a runaway because
of tho local team's superior prowess at
