Judgments
ONE principal topic locally In con
nection with base ball Is that on
Friday Omaha 'will bo given an
opportunity to publicly testify
Its appreciation of the Rourke family.
That day Is especially set aside as
"Booster" day, and It is to bo made the
occasion of something in the way of a
testimonial. Evidence of the popularity
of the move is shown In the support It
has from the Commercial club, the Manu
facturers' association, the Retail Groc
ers and Butchers' association, the Ro
tary club and other similar organiza
tions, all of which have signified their
approval by recommending to their mem
bers that they attend. The grocers and
butchers propose to close their places
of business on that afternoon, to the
end that their employes may help to
swell the throng that will pack the grand
stand. Denver Is to be the guest of
Omaha that day, and It goes without
Haying, a real ball game jsilt be pre
sented for the pleasure of the crowd.
Other features have been provided, and
the entertainment will be as good as
ever was given at a ball park. The
only thing not fully settled Is Just how
many thousands will be out there when
the first ball la pitched. If all the talk
that is heard is realized, it will be an
overflow crowd. Remember, Rourke
needs the money and he more than de
serves the help. He's a good, game guy,
but he oughtn't to be asked to support
the game In Omaha all by himself. Give
him a real boost on BoosUr day.
Joe Tinker Isn't a prophet, and never
was; he' Just a good bail player, with
something of business ability, and a
knowledge of the game loom of long ex
perience. Therefore, his opinion are
worth listening to at least He ts out
with the statement that base ball Is go
ing to come at lower prices, next season.
The public, he says, is tired of having to
pay $1 up for grand stand accomodations
and 75 cents for bleachers, when it can
find a lot of other amusement at lower
figures. Joe sets the top price at 75
rents, with the genera ladml salon fixed
at 60, and he'll find a lot of support In
that. A lot of the fancy trimmings to the
game will have to go by the board, but
It would bo none the worse for base ball
If they did, while the empty seaU might
be filled if the cost to the consumer were
reduced a little. And none will deny that
the presence of big crowds of interested
looters will not help the game.
It's sliil a long way to the end of the
lane, but Just now it looks as if Chicago
were not going to be burdened with more
than ono pennant this time. The Cubs
have gone down the slide fast, and the
Sox are following. The eastern trip was
ery rough going for the Bresnahan
crowd, and Commy's crew failed to hold
the lead while on the home grounds. In
the Bun Johnson league It now appears
to the wise ones that Bill Carrlgan is go
ing to lead the Bostons home again ahead
of all others, while the National U still
more or leas of an open proposition, with
lnpo Just a littlo bit in favor of the Phil
lies. Interest in harness racing, which has
never died in Omaha, has come to active
life again, and this week will see a moot
of real merit. The men who are con
cerned In the affair are of such character
u8 will establish he sport on solid foot
ins, if they get tho least bit of encourag
ing support from the public. No good
riuion exists why Omaha should not be
limed an-.jntf the real racing centers of
the country. All conditions here are
lavorable, and it need surprise no one
if the meeting this week isn't the berfin
ninK of a movement that will place the
(Jat City in the very front of the Im
portant harness race centers of the coun
try.' Jimmy Gilmore's scouts woke up O.
H. U. camp during the week by grabbing
off a couple of American association
players. One of these was returned, but
the other was kept. It wasn't so much
this, as the fact that salaries In the
double A leagues are far In arrears that
concerned folks. Garry Herrman and Ban
Johnson both say a player who is not
being promptly paid has a right to Jump,
and this Is going to make the Class AA
magnates get busy and settle up, or
they'll lose a lot more of their stars.

DANIELS APPROVES POLICY
OF U. S. RUBBER COMPANY
A letter from Secretary of Navy Jo
Hvphus Daniels to Colonel Samuel P.
Colt, president of the United States Rub
ber company, proves that the Navy de
partment appreciates the recent move
of the United States Rubber company,
which aims to aid in the forming of an
adwiuate national defense for the United
States.
Colonel Colt believes that a great
many large corporations will follow the
lead of his company, and encourage their
employes to Join the militia of the various
states. The importance of th United
states Rubber company's action will be
appreciated when it is realised that there
are more than tt.OUO rubber company

WITH THE OMAHA AMATEURS
Brown Park Merchants and Ram
blers Are Winners in Two of
Omaha's Amateur Leagues.
CITY SERIES INTEREST KEEN
II Kit INK Ql'Kil.KV.
It Is a difficult matter to sntlpfy the
hunger of the base bull fans in and
around this neck of the woods, but not
withstanding this undcnlniMe fact, the
local base ball manipulators have ac
complished wonders in this respect.
Knockers can be found almost every
place, but their hammers have not been
very busy this season. Their taps have
been rather light. It does the heart of
the youngsters as well as the old fans
good, to see the Interest manifested In the
amateurs. The attendance this season
has amply demonstrated the fact that
the amateurs are now as strong as.onlons
with the local fans.
Last Sunday the. City league closed
the gates in a blaxe of glory and all
partisans are already prophesying an
other great season for 1916. This trip
the Brown Park Merchants amply demon
strated their superiority over all tho
teams in this league, thereby copping the
pennant. The Murphy Did Its hooked
second place, with the Gentleman's Hollys
close on their trail.
Ramblers Cop Rase
Last Sunday the National league rung
down the curtain with the Ramblers
holding down berth number one. The
Ramblers sure rambled while they were
on the Job, hooking everyone of the
games booked. By landing said exalted
position, they will be afforded an op
portunity to stage a battle royal for su
premacy with the rag grabber of the
Greater Omaha league. The winner of
this squabble will be eligible to fight it
out with the other teams of the National
association to ascertain what team Is the
amateur champions of these United
States.
Class B Fight.
From all indications it is nearly a safe
bet that the Kennedy & Beselln crew
and the Brown Park Merchants and
either the Brandels Stores or Drexel
Shoe Co. teams will fight it out for the
class B championship of Greater Omaha.
It is the opinion of the writer that the
Brandels Stores and the Drexel Shoe Co.
will tie for first place in the Mercantile
league and that tho final game will be
copped by the counter Jumpers from
Brandels Stores. And In event the Bran
dels Stores nail the honors in their league
they will In all probability beat out the
Brown Park Merchants and Kennedy &
Beselins for the championship.

Bartfield Out After

NEW YORK. July 31. New York has a
boxer who Is out to emulate Bob Fltx
slmmons. That is, he Is after the same
mark in the welterweight and middle
weight classes that Fits held in the mid
dleweight and heavyweight classes,
champion of both divisions.
This boxer's name Is Soldier Bartfield.
He has cleaned up every good welter
weight In the world, practically, and his
claim to the title among the 142-iuunders
Is almost undisputed.
The last time Bartfield went out of
his class to do battle wtlh a middleweight
was on Decoration day, when he fought
Mike Gibbons, recognized as about the
best in the middleweight division. What
he did to Gibbons, according to tho ma
jority of the New York sporting writers
who saw the bout, was enough and then
some. He floored the St. Paul Phantom

Among outher great achievements,
Coombs has a record of winning a twenty-four
Inning game against the Boston
Americans. He earned the title of "Iron
Han," when he pitched the Athletics to
three victories against the Chicago Cubs
in the world's series of 1910.
Perhsps few men playing base ball
have been seriously injured so often as
"Jack" and that he baa survived all of
tils physical misfortunes and Is still able
to toss winning ball today makes him a
base ba'l marvel.
The first time he was badly injured
was on May 20, 1911, during a game be
tween the Tigers and Athletics at Phila
delphia. While running toward the plate
to assist in making a putout he was hit
on the head by a thrown ball and was
