In town a big sporting event that they
didn't "cover"' at all.
Hand ball at T. M. C. A., fellers'.
Some game!
John C ("Kid") Wharton, pi.M.inasivr
of Omaha, and George Itasmupeen, vice
president of the Nebraska Bridge and
Lumber Supply company, on the one
sMe. and George ("Battling") Brandei.
manager of the Brandels stores, and C.
C. Kelson, commission merchant, on the
other.
No use talking, these boys are comers.
They've got the pep and the punch.
W"hy, It took two umpires to run the
third and deciding game, whloh, as "Kid"
Wharton puts it. "was so vigorously
fought that it took two umptrss to Pre
vent blood from being split on the clean
floor of the revered T. M. C. A. build
ing."
Get an earful of this, fellers. Each
side has won one game. This was the de
ciding round out of three. The stake
as a lunch at the Fontenelle.
As intimated above, the sport writers
of the big papers weren't there, the "A.
I'." didn't have wires running direct
from the "gym." two continents wwe not
waiting with bated breath for the out
come. Nevertheless and notwithstanding
But on with our tales Let sport be
unoonflned.
The two bloodshed-preventing umpires
had ll they could do to do what they
were s'ipposed to do. At times It Is said
there were open accusations to this ef
fect: Kid" Wharton- "Ton fellows paid the
umpire to make that decision.
'"Battling" Brandels: "We didn't,
either."
Prlends, it was flerve.
At one terrible moment the "Kid" told
us this himself seated at his desk In the
P'istoffis at one awful. hair-raising,
blocl-curdllng moment, three of the con
testants ere prostrate on the floor.
Yes, yes, 'sth' truth.
The score stood at first It to 0 In favor
of Brandels and Nelson. H looked like a
walk-away. They oould see Whsrton and
Rasmussen settling the bill and tipping
the waiters and hat glrla over at the
Fontenelle.
"We ain't UckeJ vet." the postmaster
yelled fiercely to his .opponents, there
upon becoming seven times more active,
striking the ball with unfailing accuracy,
doing the work of an army of men.
Slowly the score crept up. Wharton
and Raamussen wiped out their row of
goose eggs and soon the score stood S
to 1L And so it mounted through won
derful playing, while the crowd cheered
and the umps prevented bloodshed and
the contestants picked themselves up
from the floor time after time.
The final score waa Jt to 13 In favor of
"Kid" Wharton and Raamussen.

John Donaldson, the king of colored
labmen; "Jap" Pacobi, star pitcher of
the Toklo university, during their 1918
tour of the United States, and Paul
Jones, a southpaw recruit, will probably
work against. the brewers.
Captain Oondlng will moat likely use
Olson, Hayes and Oray, reserving Hayes
to battle with Donaldson. Tho return
of Harry Welch to the local's lineup will,
add materially to their hitting strength.
The addition of Joe Vanous, at f lrat,
and Frank Woodruff on short, with Cap
tain Oondlng behind the bat, working
like a well-oiled machine, with Durkee
on third and "Grand Island" Graham on
second make the Etors Infield the great

tary of the Helena. Commercial dub, al
though l.e has been away from Omaha
a long time, still remembers the day he
and a few friends thought of organising
Ak-Ser-Ben. Acknowledging the reoeipts
of his membership card this year he
writes Samson a letter telling Just how It
all happened. He says he and Walter
Jardlne and Dudley Smith stood oa the
street in Omaha twenty years ago when
times were hard and watched tha dis
couraged Omaha people going homo from
their work, many of thorn without the
assurance that a meal would be waiting
for them.
This trio decided something must be
done to cheer up the people. So the first
thing to do was to cheer themselves up,
Internally. They accordingly adjourned
to what he terms "MoTague's" piaoe.
There over a glass or two they thought
out a plan that resulted In the organisa
tion of Ak-Har-Ben'a great festivities.

the organization grown to suoh tremen
