. Buck Sterser, red-headed and left
handed, and now the property, body and
aotil, of tha Pittsburgh National league
club, was atrociously cut, mangled, mal
treated, battered, pummelled and knocked
Into a state of absolute Incompetency
yesterday afternoon by Pa Rourke's ath
letes, who have no use for Pirates since
they played them that day last April j)
hen the mercury vu hovering around
tha freeilng point. While It is true that
most of the athletes who performed that
"Jroien day have long sinca departed for
: parts unknown, tha tone or two left put
up a stiff kick when they found out
i Sterzer was to perform, and their mates,
' all members of the players' fraternity
'and in good standing. Kicked too.' Har
mony Is a wonderful thing. Anyway, Mr.
f crier was bombarded so severely in tho
second and third rounds that Jack Hol
land, gradually forcing the west corner
of the visiting dugout Into the ground
with his weight, put the derrick In ac
tion, plucked Mr. Sterzcr out from the
box and hoisted him over Into the club
house. Thus the Rourkes copped. 7 to 2.
Ned Pettlgrew, utility outfielder, was
railed to take up the burdens of battle.
Ned pitched In a manner reminiscent of
tha halcyon days some fifteen years ago
'When Ned chucked the pill for a living.
He didn't allow a run despite the fact
that tho Rourkes hit htm. Our athletes
riade a hit In every inning and they had
eleven gents stranded en the runway.

Doe Seabaugh entered the fray for
Omaha yesterday. Doc Is a grcut ath

eligible for the sprinters' fraternity of
which Bunk Congalton and Ralph Willis
are charter members. Doc will be In
itiated some time during the week pro
viding he fails to swipe any bases.
Josles Fall to Show.
Messrs. Willey. Pursell and 8toloft,
S-tgte leaguers who were booked to Join
tho Josles yesterday, failed to appear.
A a result, Bob filled the break in tho
Infield made by the absenco of Stoloff.
It is thought that Btoloff Is recruiting a
regiment of Germans out in the state
preparatory to going to Europe with Frit
Schllebner to capture Paris. Tho duo are
scheduled to depart' for the war zone
after the Western league season la over,
o Omaha fans can gamble their coin
that Paris will fall about October 13.
Stenser got himself Inv., r;fficultles In
the second by passing Bunk Congalton.
Bunk, being a speed demon, it was only
natural that he scored. Thomas; Schlleb
ner and Seabaugh beat out infield hits,
coring Bunk and choking the paths.
Ralph Willis then came up to bat and
made his annual hit. One thing about
Willis' annual hits, they are regular hits.
This was a two-base swipo which cleared
n id bucks, ceauaugn demonstrating hiu
worth as a runner by scoring from first.
Willis then went to third on Patterson's
punk chuck. Payne's slngio scored him.
Krug forced Payne but Marty scored
when Congalton singled after Bell had
walked and Thomason had whiffed.

MANCHESTER, Vt, Sept. 6.-The twen
tieth amateur golf championship of the
t'nlted States was won today by Francis
Oulmet of Brook line, Mass., a member of
the TVoodland Oolf club, who thus at
tained national honors for the second
time. He defeated Jerome D. Travers of
I'pper Montclair, N. J.. the 1M3 title
holder, by a score of (i up and 5 to play.
Oulmet first gained Rolf fame a year ago
when he defeated Harry Vardon and Kd
vard Ray, the Knallsh professionals, for
the open championship In a notable
ninety-hole medal play contest at the
Country club where, as a fiady, he
earned the game, Travexs h&2L.won the
national amateur championship four
times.
The match today was marked by
Oulmet's poor putting, In tbe first nine
holes, his wonderful brace in the second
nine and his perfect play during the
afternoon. On the other hand, Travers,
annougn wild rrom tne tee, played a
strong, short game, which gave him the
advantage up to the seventh hole on the
morning play, where Oulmet separated
the match for the first time. At the
home hole Oulmet took the lead, which
he maintained to the finish. Travers was
even more uncertain In his wooden shots
la the afternoon and conceded two holes.
Makes I.onsr Drives.
Oulmet proved the longer driver and in
the afternoon round the better putter.
The Iron game of tbe pair waa about
equal.
With a one-hole advantage Oulmet
started the last round with a perfect
drive, while Travers sliced Into the rough
and followed with a poor second. As
Oulmet was on the green when Travers
reached it in three the lalter, after miss
ing a long putt, conceded the hole.
1 ravers played tne second even worse
than the first, making an approximate
six. 1
At the third Oulmet made it four up by
running down an eighteen-foot putt for a
three and added another to his lead at
the fourth when Travers overdrove the
green. Travers hooked his drive for the
f'fth Into the rough and Oulmet took the
hole easily, making him 6 up.
The next four holes were well played by
both, although Travers was obliged to
run down a long putt on the eight In or
der to halve It

By JAMI.K K. I.AWRK.K.
LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. J.-(Speclal.)-If
a carefully-kept gridiron can contribute
In any way to tho success of a foot ball
squad. Manager Guy K. Reed, of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, feels there is no rea
son why'the Cornhuskers should not re
peat on an "all-victorious season" again
this fall. The Cornhunker field was never
in better ahape than It la right now, and
Reed spent the last week getting It into
nnal shape before the arrival of the
player In two weeks to begin practice.
At an expense of nearly SI.UOO Reed re
sodded the athletic field early last sum
mer, although the, sod on the field was
nearly as good as any grounds In the
MIsHourl valley. The favorable weather
conditions, with constant care by the
athletic authorities, has made the foot
ball field as green aa a meadow, and
Reed don't think It will be possible for
any teams to pull the same kind of an
alibi that Minnesota hod last fall of a
"cement ground."
Reed saved considerable money In al
lowing the bleachers on the south eldo of
the field to stand all summer. Hereto
fore it has been fiintomary to tear them
down after tho foot ball soaon and con
struct them again in the fall. The bleach
era will probably remain permunent here
after. Reed will this week start to laying out
the field. In this connection he will in
troduce an innovation at Nebraska which
has been used to good success In the Jay
hawker Institution. Numbers will be ar
ranged on e;ich aide of the field the en
tire distance so that the spectators as
well us officials may know the exact po
sition of the bull.
Under the new Missouri Valley ruling,
Sttehm will be able to start practice on
September 20. He will Usue his official
call a few days previous. The conference
adopted a rule that all members muxt ob
serve September 20 as the opening date
for practice. Heretofore Stlehm has been
handicapped in that some of the schools
have started a full two or three weeks
ahead of Nebraska, practice depending
on the registration date of the college.
It will give Stlehm two weeks in which
to prepare hla squad for the opening
game with Washburn. Stlehm has al
ready decided to follow the usual tactics
of no scrimmage the first week, but will
be content with conditioning the men.
