FIRST BALLJAME PLAYED
Lincoln Beats Omaha at Itourke
Park by Eight to Three Score.
TOO COLD FOR GOOD BALL
Ronrke Player Ilo Not Exert Tlirm
aelrea Becauae of the Hilrfme
Cold of the Early Spring
Senaon,
Despite the crisp cold and moderately
wet diamond, Omaha and Lincoln played
& game of bate ball at Itourke pant yes
terday and the Lincoln athletes returned
to the capital ono victory ahead, the score
being S to 3 In favor of Uncoln. The
Lincoln lads were far niftier with tho
stick than Omaha and Alexander had a
little bad luck with his control In ono
Inning.
Omaha could make but three hits, two
of them triples. Wallace, who was sub
ttltuted for Clancy, leaned on n straight
one for a three-sack clout to left field.
Me later scored on Chase'a out to Mullen.
Chase made the other triple. Ills went
Into right field and he drove Alexander
and Wallace home ahead of him, Alex
ander getting to first on a fielder's choice
and Wallace on a base on balls. Thomn
on got the only other hit made by
Omaha.
The day was really too cold for the
nthletSk to extend themselves and tho
wiser heads, like Ward and Krug, did not
try any sensational playing. Oongalton
reposed on the bench while Bell cavorted
around the sun pasture minus the sun.
Ilx lilt- for Visitors.
Lincoln scored two runs off Stevenson
by virtue of six hits and three runs off
of Drady with two hits and a base on
balls. Then came Alexander's bad In
ning. Tho lad couldn't make his ball
cut the corners and he gava four bases
on balls In one Inning. Thin coupled
with an error enabled Lincoln to push
three runs across the plate without mak
ing cne tingle hit.
The Omaha pitchers confined their ef
forts to straight balls, but tho Lincoln
boys put a little stuff on them. Dessau,
who has been working all winter, put
a twist on his fait one and Monro and
Brian, both youngsters, extended them
selves considerably. Omaha will play in
Llnooln next Thursday and Friday and
will play here with Minneapolis Saturday
and Sunday,
LINCOLN.

HOLDS BIG POLE TO A DRAW
Zbyzko Unable to Throw Hmiane
in Two and Half Hours.
HUSSANE ESCAPES BAD HOLDS
While lie Is Unable Pot the
Shoulders of Xhyaako on the
Mat, la Never In Danger
Jllmaelf.
After wrestling for two hours and
thirty-four minutes, with both partici
pants on their feet the majority of the
time, the match at the Krug theater Sat
urday between Stanlalaw Zbysxko, claim
ant for championship of tho world, and
Farmer Burns' protege, Youslff Hussane,
was declared a draw. The match was
scheduled for a finish, but It was appar
ent that the two men were so evenly
matched that any fall would be merely
the result of a fluke or a lucky hold, so
the referee decided to call It a draw at
midnight as the Police Goxetto rules pro
vide that all matches be called by mid
night. But one real firm hold was secured In
the entire evening and that was a crotch
secured by Zbyszko, but tho Pole only
held It for a brief instant before the
wily Bulgarian squirmed out of it.
At the very start of the match it was
evident that It would be a prolonged
affair. Despite the handicap of somo
forty-five pounds weight In Zbysxko'o
favor It was clearly evident that the Bul
garian's superior speed would enable him
to clear himself from any lock Zbysxko
might secure. It waa also easily seen
that Zbysxko's weight and strength would
enable him to break any holds Hussane
might obtain.
Zbyaakn Buck Ftrat,
Tlio.two men grappled for twenty min
utes, constantly endeavoring to discern
the. qualities of each other, before
Zbyszko forced Hussane to the mat. But
the Instant Zbyszko attempted to land
a grip Hussune broke it and both men
were on their feet again. Repeatedly this
was the procedure. Zbyszko's strength
compelled Hussano to drop to the. mat,
but Hussane's speed never failed to en
able him to break and get to his feet
once more Several times Hussane forced
the Polo to tho. mat, but the Pole's
strength made It Impossible to turn him
over.
As proof that neither man had any
advantage not In any Instance did one or
the other of tho wrestlers force his op
ponent into a dangerous position. .Not
once was even one shoulder touching the
mat and not once waa either man forced
to bridge In order to escape.
Secure llend Holds.
On two occasions Hussane secured
head locka 6n Zbyszko, which worried
the Pole, but he always managed to re
lieve himself of the pressure. Zbyssko
once secured a head lock, but could not
hold It. The extreme care each man ex
ercised made It Impossible for either to
obtain any dangerous locks. The caution
was such that If either had made an at
tempt to obtain a lock hold he would
have laid himself open to the other. As
a result the entire match was without any
quicK footwork or fast grappling.
At the conclusion of the match Zbyszko
protested to Referee Loch, gesturing that
his own hand alone should be held up,
Loch stuck to his decision and declared
It a draw. After the match Zbyszko
stated that Hussane was a wonderful
wrestler and that his endurance and
speed and agility would even baffle
Frank Gotch.
Emll Klank, manager of Frank Gotch.
was present and declared It one of the
greatest matches ho had ever witnessed.
Oscar Thorsen and other wrestling pro
moters who were present as well as a
number of wrestlers agreed It was a
wonderful test,
llonae Sold Oat.
The Interest taken In the match sur
passed anything of Its kind ever held In
Omaha. Long before 8 o'clock the house
wan completely sold out and all the
standing room occupied. Alt during the
match a large crowd congregated at the
door of the theater waiting for the re
turns. It was a wonderful match and
will long be remembered by Omaha
wrestling fans and sportsmen.
In the first preliminary Joe Hill of
(-anaaa, weighing about 160 pounds, failed
to in row unarlle Loch. 140. pound wre.
tier of this city, in twenty-five minutes.
The Teddy brothers gave an exhibition
or tneir ruue wrestling stunt and Charlie
raters, a Papllllon heavyweight, threw
Young Harkcnschmldt of Denmark in
iwemy-iwo minutes In the final pre
llmlnary.

Pirate Contracts
Will Be Exhibited
in Arkansas Court
HOT SPRINGS. Ark.. March 29.-Con-
tracts between the Pittsburgh National
league club and Its players will be ex
hibited In court Thursday as a result of
a decision here today by Chancellor J. P.
Henderson In Injunction proceedings of
the Pittsburgh club against H. II. Cam
nltz and other agents of the Federal
league.
The chancellor previously had Indicated
that to prove contract relations between
club and player the contracts should be
exhibited In court. At today's session
counsel for the Pittsburgh club stated
that the club was willing to exhibit tho
contracts, but argued that the salary
paid each player waa a private business
relation. It was agreed that the salary
clause be subject to the scrutiny of the
court alone.
The court granted the Pittsburgh club
until Thursday to produce the contracts.
At that time the merit of the case with
reference to the anti-trust features of
organized base ball and the validity of
base ball contracts will be argued.

FOUND BY RAILROAD SQUAD
Hidden Under 11 Trap Door In a
Clonet "f Ilouac Occupied by
John Lnrklna, Who la Ar
reatcd for Theft.
Special Officers Lowell and Cashman
of the Union Pacific, after a two weeks'
search, day and night, located and ar
rested In a shack at Sixth and Pierce
streets early yesterday morning John
Larktns, atlas John Smith, besides re
covering property to the value of 1300
stolen from the railroad, automobile con
cerns and local carpenters.
Smith, as he Is booked at police head
quarters, when placed under arrest denied
all knowledge ot the affair and a search
of his shack at first seemed to sub
stantiate the assertion that he had none
ot the stolen goods. On the second In
spection of the structure a cunningly
concealed trap door at the baso ot a
closet revealed the property taken.
Railway Journal In profusion taken
from the cars In the yard were uncov
ered, besides gallon upon gallon tins ot
lubricating oil, together with carpenters'
tools, some of which were stolen from
houses In the' course ot construction Im
mediately after the tornado.
Tho patrol, which was called to the
shack, was actually filled with the miss
ing goods, which were brought to police
headquarters and stored In the garage.
As an example of Smlth'a cleverness,
a recent Inspection of the various cars
In tho yards resulted In a report that
they were In satisfactory condition. It
was only by chance that, passing be
neath a car, a yardman discovered that
the evidently first-class brass Journals
on the axle proved to be made of wood.
This report resulted in a hurry-up In
spection of the cars, which revealed the
fact that the majority of them werfft
supplied with the wodden substitutes.
Officer Lowell explained that the thief,
after Jacking up the cars, had removed
the brass and then substituted It with a
nicely whittled block of wood, painted
to look like the genuine article.
A quantity of these blocks were taken
from Smith's shack.

BALTIMORE, Md., March 29,-Slght has
been given to tho left eye ot David Kane,
9-month-old son ot Mr. and Mrs. Herman
Kane of Gettysburg, Pa., through tho
grafting of the cornea of a plg'a eye to the
child's eye ball, according to a statement
ot physicians at a hospital. Certain tests,
they assert, have brought out this fact
without doubt. When the bandage was
I removed from the eye, It was declared, tho
child followed the course of a lighted
candle which was moved In front of him.
Another test that brings out the fact
more clearly Is that the child now winks
his eye If a finger or a small object Is
waved close to the eye.
The disease from which little David has
been a sufferer since he was 3 weeks old
Is known as stnpholoma of the cornea.
Tho operation was performed last Mon
day and the cornea of the pig's eye was
used because it Is said It more closely re
sembles the human cornea than that of
any other animal.
