Herr Schllebner. Now. let's not enter upon any TT invidioua comparisons. We all admit Jim Kane. Chnrley Mullen and poor old Bill Dwyer were Kood first basemen and heavy swatters, but we are now considering; the case of Herr Schllebner. He cover first like a hen her first brood of chirks. He never missee, boots or fumbles. His arma and lega are made of Indian rubber and his hands re shovels smeared with Klue. He la quirk, alert and tireless. But It ' is of Herr Schllebner'a prowess with the pole of which we fain would apeak. We de al re simply to rern'nd you, gentlemen, that our distinguished Omaha first baaeman la now poling 'em a little better than .400. He is in fact leading- the Western league In batting. If Kalaer W.lhelin had him and one or two others like him. he wouldn't be taking so long to cross that Belgian lot. The moment we laid our glad eyes on Schllrb we knew he was "there." And. oh, what a joyous realiza tion to know that someone is "there," He Is a genuine first baaenian and as free a hitter as this league has seen for many a day. We wish we had several pitchers just like him, and two or three other young men scattered In sundry snots over the diamond. But, at that, hitting Is not the weakest point with the Rourkes, as, of course, all know. Control," .said both ManqUard and Babe Adama when aked the secret of their success in holding, out. in that twenty one Inning Giant-Pirate game. Why la it more young pitchers do not properly value this clement of control In the art of pitching? No pitcher has ever become lastingly great without It and those who have perfected It best have! been the best pitchers. Peerless pitchers come and go. Regiments of them have come' and gone in Mathewson's day. Every year reeme to develop a new prodigy... who someone f Is ready to rank head and shoulders above the "Old Master.

Spink well says In the Sport ing News that one of the sad features of the European war Is the possible Inter ruption of the plans of Ted" Sullivan to tour Ireland this fall and winter with two American ball teams. We hope things play Into Ted's hands yet and If they do we want to suggest a pair of team, i for mm to take, as follows, to wit: First i . . 7 . I team: Catchers, Schalk and Schsng: n,t r r. CI J' 'T.' :rr'r":: base, Hoblltzel; second. Olson; third, Nle- hoff; short, Pecklnpaugh; outfield, Rlg gert, Leibold, Moelier. Second team: .Lw.cr., nu uoin, pjicners, Flnneraa and Ragan; first base, Mullen; second, Collins; third, Morlarty; short, Sweeney; outfield, Walsh, Murphy, Burns. Which team would you bet on In Ireland? It may be a poor base ball year and all that, but you notice how those Boston Braves are drawing the crowds, don't you? Let any team play ball and the fans are the first to find It out. That Is true of Omaha as well as Boston or Kalamasoo. The Braves have had to move over to the larger park of the Reds In order to accommodate the horn crowds. And just think what a fine plant that Is ws have out there on Vin ton street. If there were any good reasons why t hA team that nbivtil tha hall Omaha did at Lincoln should go down and hand j i opeaa live games H migm oe easier iu bear, but there is no such reason. We need a team of greater strsngth in some spots, but ws are not getting all there Is out of the team ws have, not by four miles and a half. Six out of seventeen james Isn't enough. There is this to be Sold for McGilt, even If he does not win another pen nant, hs Is doing the best he can by the Denver fans In spending his money for good ball players whenever It seems necessary. Bobby Carter says Styles is a good pitcher and ws believe he could be much better If he tried. What's this rumor from Wichita of Styles being disaffected and anxious to Join Wichita? Perhaps you've noticed that Charley Mullen Is hitting around .Z'Q In the American league, which Is some hitting for the first time up against those peer less pitchers. Well, another shirt of pitching scenery. That ought to bring it. We don't like Styles' style of loafing hen he ought to run.

STELLAR ARGUMENT TODAY Rlnsllna Brother' Mine nml Chris Lycka to Measure I p Their Bnae Ball Prve ThU Afternoon. By FRANK OIK.Ll'.V. Last we,ek the majority of the members of the board of directors that govern the affaire of the Omaha Amateur association congregated at the city hall for the pur pene of settling a few arguments that bobbed up In the different haguea since their last conflab, and to talk over the advisability of holding a field uievt towards the termination of the aeaaon. Ixiuls Kochcr, one of the directors, aent In 1 is resignation, which was accepted. It was decided that the Monmouth Parks and the Beacon Prcst should play a gams that was credited to the Beacon Presa, but never played on account of a mlxup relative to the diamond on which the gaine ahould be played. As the Beacon Presa failed to have a representative on the floor, the decision waa unanimously agreed upon.i Here of late the Brown Park Pharmacy brigade have been utilis ing the services of a gent tagged Will iams, who, according to the City league coiwtltutlon, la not eligible to participate in the City league games becauxe his mor.hjker has never icsched the hands of the secretary nnd 1iis name should have been 'attached to their Hat now In the possession of the secretary, on or before July 1. Of course, it' is i difficult matter for the class "B" teams to live within the rules of their league, and exceptions have to bo allowed occasionally, but the majority of tho magnates are opposed to giving the leaders any advantage. ....-( . t Disease Field Day. A few triVHl matters were adjusted and then the field day question, waa discussed thoroughly. Here are. the events that will be Indulged In: Hook slide, fifty-yard , , " " , whether or not they are connected with ny of the leagues will be eligible to enter the field meet providing they Join the association.

For some time It looked as If the Advoa contained pennant poasiblllties, but they have been doing the mule alunt lately. Wally Spellman of tho Alam toa has got it on all the alouths in the country when 1 comes to catching ducka stealing bases. When the J. H. Bourgeois team nailed Oavia they cornered a fcood pitcher.. His shoots have proved very effective to date. Walter Overman Jumped Into the lime light hint Sunday by umuxking four on the biii-Tier out of four trips to tho plat ter. Ralph Tuttle of tho Armours haa been switched from the keystone pillow to the Cobb patch. He can play moat any old place. Policeman Johnstone of the Rrandels Ptores siuad says with vehemence that h a gang will be on top when the curtain dropa. Walter Peterson, the leader of the Advos, Is a regular bear handling the birdxeed relative to the ability of his squad. Bammv Felt man came to the rescue hist riuuday with the bingle that copped the gravy for the Ktorx sgaint the l.'nion Giants. Here of late the locals have failed to pull off any overtime events. Apparently they are able to turn the trick In nine rounds. Down at l'apllllon. Neb., Patrick Ken nedy will probably utilize hi base ball ability on Sundays for tee balance of the seaaon. Last Sunday the Mercantile league closed the gatua. Their games booked for today and next Sunday are postponed events. On Sunday. August 3ft. the BrodpEaaM Crowns will play a bunch consorting of items tnat formerly performed with the Crowns. Willard Qtilgley will probably be back In the harness next arasnn. He Is too IniHV in tiio political world to play base bull now. Vp at Winslde. Neh., Oeorge and Jamea Sutey picked up some shekeU for holding down the initial sack and center field, re spectively.

For the Auto Row tribe, fireener twigaled a pearli of a game against the lunlees, allowing them only one hit and whiffing fifteen. Recently Knlcely, the best pitcher that ever twirled fur Woodbine, la., was com pelled to vurrender la favor of General Brlght's Disease. Holland, formerly with the Advos and the Mi-rphy IM Jts of the City league, is now associated with' the Twenty-fourth Street Merciiants. That renort shout the Walnut Hill Mer chants blowing up should be taken with a grain of salt Nothing along those II ncs is perceptible. Ararda of the SV.uth Omaha A. O. TT.

Jamea lianic Is behind the willow, Holland is doing the twirling, and John Dougherty works at bag one. Lately the majority of the local contln genta have inoculated lha betting fever. The only thing that plunging on a ball game is to help Kill the sport. Those Brown Park Pharmacy boys are especially good bumping the pill Into un- guarueu territory. rnis is me reason why they Ice so many games. H that Browning-King company team, doesn't wake up they will find themselves in t ne stale or oui.vion as lar as oeing pennant contenders la concerned. One thing In favor of the Dundee Woolen Mills Reserves Is that in Tom I li nt en they have a lender with all the pep essential to land them at the top of the ladder. Probably Stnngle of the Alamitoa left his specs at home last Sunday for he fullcil to rtglater a bingle. Something radical must be wrong when he falls to connect. Here is the gang of old warriors that v ill fight the Brodeguard Crowns on Eund.i, Augubt 9(i : Dolson, Mattewe. Adama. Oorden. Dodd. lleny, Conklln, Bilney and Bell.

The losers of the Has Beens sgalnst Regulars bout in the lirotlegaard Crown cainp will have to dp up the Kale for a combination banquet and bad to be nuiu at the Koine hotel. At Wilber, Neb., Prucha. a former Cieighlon leather egg warrior, and well knMn in local bass ball clrciea, Is per loiiaing behind the but. His wora this season is rather sugary. Iast Sunday at the B. aV M. switchmen game Bill Victor was the particular slur Willi the club, lie gutting three has out of four trials. Behind the hit station It.

Any maiiatier that cares to take a chance on lila twirling ability can ccmmutie with hliu over buzzer Doug las lboi. You never hear much about the ability of Murray, hooked up with the Alsmltos, but, nevertheless, tho oppoHltlon always know he is on ttie Job. Last Sunday the Alamitoa nailed five hits, two of allien were credited to Murray. Since Birt McAndrews became the property of the Joe Smiths of Council Blutfa, he Is holding down Comer two. He received the polish necessary to hold that posit. on while lit held down the hot corner for the A. O. V. V. Perdae to Glaats.

With the spirit oi temembranca of those happy days gone by, With a dream of sweet October and a thought of bitter fight.
