' DAN TIPPLE HARD
Timely Clouting Give Rourkei Vic
tory Over Indianapolii Ameri
can Association Clnb.
BLODGETT PERFORMS NICELY
Because the Rourkes chose to hit the
pill In the snoot when men occupied the
runway, Omaha returned a victor over
Indianapolis in the fray at Rourke park
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Daniel Tipple,
lata of these parts, and the veteran Men
were tho unfortunate athletes who suf
fered aa a" result of the aforesaid timely
clouting. The score was 5 to 47
Thomas Blodgett. fuithpaw rookie from
Waterloo, went on th firing tlno In oppo
sition to tho pulchrltudlnous Daniel.
Thomaa had all the belter of tho argu
ment. Nary a run was counted against
him during the five stanzas he labored
and only three hits bumped. That Is con
siderable hurling for a rookie against a
. Class AA team which has had the ad
vantage of training In the sunny climes
of California.
Tipple worked four Irn' and three
runs were counted. After Tip's demise In
the fourth, Men ascended the mound and
lost the game, which his pals had tied
up when Franklin Johnson . took up
heaving duties for the Rourkes. 'Twas In
tho etfchlh round Men was battered and
two runs pushed across. y
' Krnsr Kftoeks Doable.
General Marty von Hlndenbcrg Krug
opened tho bombardment against tho
helpless Tipple. Ho smote a powerful
double In the opening chapter and scored
when' Thomoson, who had walked, stole,
second and Gossett chucked a punk heave
to second. Marty had taken third when
- Payne, , who had walked, tried to come
home on Marty's double.
Schllobnar walked In the second. Was
sacrificed by Whelan. and romped homo
when Kafora nicked a slant for a single
to center.
Payno was given free transportation to j
open the third. Krug laid down a neat
sacrifice bunt, and Doc counted when
Thomason slammed, one into left field,
lilt Johnson HardJ
Franklin Johnson started to hurl for
the Ttoorkcvlnlans in the sixth. John-
sou's advent was welcomed by th
Ilopslcr sluggers, who took a greater
fancy to his heaving than to the south
paw c tuxes of blodgett. Herman Dronkle
greeted Johnson with a triple to center,
which bounced over Tommy's noble bean.
Franklin then uncorked a hectic heave
nnil BronUie waltzed home. .
Johnson walked Mitchell In the seventh.
Gossett followed with a slam to -left and
Johnson uncorked another wild pitch.
Men chopped a Texas leaguer to right,
scoring Mitchell and Gossett. -
Men, and Butcher singled in succeoffon
in the eighth. Crandall bit on bad ones
and Mitchell rolled a grounder to Krug.
Krug threw out Mitchell at first, and
then Schlldbner and Whelan started to
run down Butcher between first and sec
ond. In the meantime,- Men galloped
past third arid homeward bounff before
discovered. Whelan 'lamped him sliding
Into the plate, but it was too late; the
scCy e was counted. '
Krnr(r OoV the Work. ' v-'
That put the Hoosierrone to . the good,'
so Krug called upon his gallant youths
't3 start something. . They did." Aiten
dropped a two-bass clout into .right and
scored when Schlieoner busted a hot one
to left.' . Whelan wentVout, but Krueger
was on deck with, a two-sacker knock
which landed against the left fjeld fence.
Thus was th game won, although tho
Hooslers made two safe hits In the ulti
mate chapter. - '
Marty Krug was tho demon stlcksmith
of tlis matinee? He poled three doubles
out of as many trips to tho plate. Frits
Bchlicbner ' counted two knocks, as .did
Thomason. Payne made a ' couple of
swell slops of had-hlt drives at third.
Anion;; the familiar . faces on the In
diauapciis lineup were several who onco
pastimed In this loop. Tipple was a
Rour:te last year, while Butcher was with
Denver and Blackburn with . Lincoln.
(iosKCtt and Kelly both played at St. Jo
seph, snd Men pitched for Omaha a cou
ple of months in 1902. Mets Is now a first
sacker and nbout as big as Jess Wlllard.
Jack Hendricks, who piloted Denver a
couple of seasons, runs the Iloosters for
Jim McCJill. who also owns the Grlzslles.
Jack Is getting, heavy, evidently enjoying
prosperity back In Indianapolis.
The .iiooslors will play tho Rourkes
again today. The game will be called at
S o'clock.

RACING RECORDS DUE TO GO
Directum I , and William, Pacers,
and Etawah and Peter Volo,
Trotters, Should Do It
SPORT COMING BACK ONCE MORE
NEW. TORK. April 8. For several
years all world's harness records have
been so low that It takes a mighty horse
to win championship honors at either the
trot or pV. yet in 1314 more than a
dozen new records of Importance were
estsbllshed, the turf having enjoyed such
particular stars as the pacers. Directum
I, William, R. H. Brett and Anna Brad
ford, and the trotters, Etawah. Peter
Volo and Henry Todd. '
. It U hardly possible that so many, new
records will be established this year as
In lt14, but it should be a far ( more mo
mentous year .of record breaking for the
reason that the turf was never before so
well off In extremely fast trotters and
pacers that are just about due to reach
the flush of capacity. There will be as
spirited a contest for the trotting stal
lion crown between Etawah and Peter
Volo as occurred between Kremlin and
Stamboul In 1K2, but their 'fights should
not compare with the battles th.at Direc
tum . I and William will wage , for the
pacing crown that has for so long been
worn by Dan Patch,
While great things are expected from
both Etawah and Peter Volo this year
and trotting horsemen will wager even
money that these young horses will re
duce the Harvesters' stallion record of
2:01, hot any horseman would place so
much as one dollar against the Standard
Oil company that either will set aside
the'-trotting record of .1:68, made In the
open by Uhlan three years ago. As the
years pass by turfmen realise -more and
mora what a matchless trotter tho son
of Blngen was before M.r. BilHngs ' re
tired him, , and as a gelding's record his
la. apt to r stand for, a long, long time.
Nowadays horses of superlative blood
and aatural speed are kept entire, and
it is notable that the tiest unsexed: trot
ters now in training are only four: BUr
Winter, t:0C; Tommy Horn, 2:Wfe. Omar,
2:06, and Brighton B, 2:05V4.
Twelve years have elapsed since Lou
Dillon placed the record for mares at
1:686, and since then only Hamburg Belle.
has ' shown championship possibilities'.
Hamburg Belle a led soon after winning a
race record of 2:11 la 1909. The best
mafes in ' training this year are Juan,
2:044; RythmcII, . 2:044. and Margaret

proved so much in October that she wa
separately timed in 2:044 at three years,
lady Wanetka's flight of speed In the
Kentucky Futurity was so dazillng that
on all sides she was picked for a cham
pion at maturity.
Petr Volo should beat the 4-year-old
colt record . of 2:03, but with Lady Wa
netka out of the way the filly record
of 2:04 seems fairly safe." There are In
training soino fast 4-year-olds,' such as
Liiclle Spier. 2:07; Esperansa, 2.09: Miss
Perfection. 2:09, and Josephine Watts.
2:09, and in California there is In train
ing a real trotting freak, the bay filly
Virginia Barnette, daughter of Moko and
the noted race mare Zephyr, 2:07. in
her only start Virginia Barnette at three
years' raced against Star Winter, 2:06;
0i Bertha Cary, 2:0Ur and other ageu trot
q ters at Phoenix last November. Slis won
0 the first heat in 2:08' and 'was second to
0 star Winter in the next two, each under

O.but In California It la claimed she pos

YALLEY TEAMS ARE

Intend to Take Mtaiure of Big- Nine
Conference Schools in the Big
Drake Relay Games.
KANSAS IS THE STRONG ENTRY
. DES MOINES. April 3. (BpeclaU-Wlll
some of the schools of the Missouri vslley
this year be able to beat the schools of
tho Big Nine In the ra-es of the univer
sity class at the Drake relays? Will the
stsr four-mile team of Kansas, for In-
stance, be able to defeat the Illinois. Wis
consin, Minnesota and possibly the Chi
cago team? Will Drake's half-mile quar
tet, which took the measure of every
team west of the Mississippi river at some j
time lust year, that compelled Chicago
to make a new world's record at the dis
tance at ft. Lmiln, he able as It will run
this year to turn the tables on Chicago
or ao-.ot the other teams from the east?
Will 'the Nebraska quarter-mllers be able
to take the measure of the Northwestern
quartet, the Illinois speed merchants of
! of Coach StagR"s new mile team. If that
worthy should settle his present, perplex
ing problem In favor of the mile combine
tlon? Is Missouri or Ames or Iowa, each
of which schools has some thought of a,
wonderful combination of quarter-mile
men. able to producer a team which will
wrest the honors from the easterners?
And can any ft the teams from the west
side of the Missis's! ppl river produce a
team wlifch run win from Michigan or
Purdue or Chicago, with the question
mark tlll after th Chicago entry, as the,
versatile and cratty coach of the Ma
roons has not Indicated which ofall of
his star teams he Intends to try for lau
rels with.'
Let It he known that the record of th
past all Is In favor of the eastern schools.
Kansas has won. twice' In the Drake
events, in the half-mllo In 1912 and In the
two-mile In 191.1. Missouri was winner of
tho four-mile In 1911, and Drake won. the
half -mile in 1P11. These three Missouri
valley schools are the only ones which
have . won firsts In the four years stnoe
the schools of the two sections have been
meeting. This year's meeting will be, the
fifth, and this year's struggles, more han
ever before, will be wntcled as an Indi
cation of the strength of the section. The
teams now are largely selected. Except
'for the Chicago entries, and Ptagg can
produce a brilliant half-mile team, a
swift mile aggregation, a sensational two
mile quartet and veteran and sturdy !
mllers for the four-milo, tho entries and
their strength can bo forecast. The east
ern teams to be beaten will be Illinois.
Wisconsin and Minnesota In the four
mile, Michigan and Purdue In the two
mile. Northwestern or Illinois In the mile,
and Illinois In the half-mile. Chicago Is
conceded a chance to win the half and
milo and either the two or the four-mile,
as Stagg should pick his distance men.
Kansas Stroma; Entry.
The challengers of these teams from the
west seem Kansas : In . the four-mile,
Ames, Iowa or Missouri in the two-mile,
the same three teams with Nebraska
added In the mile and Drake, Nebraska
and possibly Ames In the half-mUe. The
Drake four-mile team, (which took third
to Wisconsin and 'Illinois last year,, re
tain three ot Its last year's member.
but It la not considered a strong a the
Kansas entry Md on form and records
the Jay hawkers must be conceded tb
honor of making the best bid of the
Transmlsslssippt in the event which thl
year promise to be the class of the meet
meet. -. . . . ,
Team of the west, however, have oom
pelled the teams of the east to set some
phenomenal ' record to win. Last year
Illinois tied the world' record in the two
mile. At th same meet Chicago set the
best record ever made In April In the
half-mile. In 1911 the Chicago combina
tion of Straube, Bklnner, Menaul and
Davenport came within fractions of the
world' record In th mile. Even last
year, under favorabje conditions. In one
of the greatest meet ever battled' the
record were close to the best record
known. - '.
That any western team that win a first
this, year will be a' near record breaker
seems to be the dope at present. That
the western teams will come nearer than
they have In the past also would aeera
to be the dope. The long line of relay
run In the eastern, section, beginning
soon after the Christmas holiday and
continuing through the winter, bring bet
ter condition and "bloom" in running to
the contenders' from that section, condi
tion being an all-Important factor In the
early spring meet like the Drake relay.
All the western teams have started Work
earlier In the winter than before and
some better Individual men will this year
ncip we teams from the sunset aide of
the big river.
