Till: OMAHA SI NDAV 1 : 1 : 1 ; : Ab(UNT s. ii; 3 S Bringing Up DOKT TLK iO fr Judgments Oris la no rood Just waste D of tiro and yet wc go right on with the making of "dope," If there were- any thing In It the Omaha base ball team, for example, would be away out In front of all the other teams In the league, but It isn't. And why it isn't ts one of the mysteries of the game. In 101 garnet played up till Thursday of laat week, Omaha had made 012 hiU for 1.2M bases, more lilts than any other team In the league, and for almost as many extra basea as iienver, which lead In this department No team in either of the major leagues has averaged a many hits per game at Omaha. In addition to averaging nine hits to the game, Omaha has drawn 2G3 bases on balls, or nearly three to the game. This means that in 101 games, 1.176 Omaha runners have reached first base by either lUts or bases on balls Of these 41 reached the home plate, leaving 694 stranged on the paths. That tells the story in Itself. These figures do not take Into account the runners who were safe on errors of the oppon ents, or who reached first by reason of being hit by pitched balls, but Just tlmue who got on by virtue of batting ability. In these games Omaha's oppon ents made K7 hits, or fifty-five fewer than Omaha, and 444 runs. Just thirty seven fewer than Omaha, yet these ex tra hit and runs are lost In the stand ing table, for Omaha is far below the teams It has defeated in the aggregate. The Omaha, pitchers have given oppon ents JSt walks and have Yil thirty-four opposing batsmen. Just one conclusion ' can be drawn from this, and that is the Omaha team Is weak on base running ' iand on hitting when hits are needed. A team that can average twelve hits and almost five runs to the game ought to win a pennant in any league, but It mems it can't. "Booster" day was a long way from being the success It should, and we are loth to consider it a gauge of Omaha's interest In base ball. It was affected by threatening weather and Interest was divided between the ball game and the horse races, and so the crowd split. "With only one or the other attraction a good attendance might have been had at either. However, the thing is over, and not even the coroner can get any satisfaction out of a post mortem. Let us try again today and go out to the grounds and give Denver a royal send off for the last time this season. The (irlislles are putting up a scrappy fight to hold first Place, and you'll be well assured of a ball game, barring a rain storm. Let us call your attention to the work young Mr. Blodgett is doing In the box. As a rule left-handed pitchers are supposed to be wild, and especially un seasoned left-handers. But Mr. Blodgett is surely an exception. He has shot 'em over for thirty-four games, and In that time has allowed but thirty-three walks, less than one to a game. In the Zll innings he pitched in these thirty-four games, he has been hit safely but 192 times, much less than a hit to an inning, and he has hit but five batsmen. If the rest of the team had kept Its record up to Blodgett's thore'd be a different story to telL Some talk is heard of hard luck games, in which a pitcher held his opponents to no bits and yet a run was scored on blm. Twice in Omaha a pitcher has held his opponents to no hits and lost the game. In l&o Jimmy Martin for Omaha held Pes Moines without a sign of a hit for nine innings, and his team mates kicked in enough runs to lose. In VJ02 Norman Gibson, pitching for Kansas City, held I Omaha hitless, and only one error was made behind him. but the game went to Omaha, to t, which will about stand as a reoord for hard luck games. That Nebraska money certainly must look good, the may the wrestlers are try ing to get a bit of it. But they'll find that Joe Stecher is a wary bird as well aa a game, and when the match is made it will be too much on the level to suit many of the harpies of the mat. If they meet Joe they must wrestle on the square. Pitcher Hall of Topeka ts right up there at the top of the list of Western league pltohera He has pitched one game, nine innings, was hit safely fourteen times, hit three batsmen and gave six walks, but won his game. One guess as to the opposing team, Omaha? Somebody told you. The match between Mike Gibbons and Packy McFarland will be one of the most important meetings ln a long time. The men are well matched, are veterans ln the game and among the cleverest in the history of the rtng. The winner will have an undisputed title In his class. If Chicago allows Jack Curley to stage another wrestling match It will be her own fault Stecher la showing his good sense by keeping out of that mess. Here's hoping Lee Tannehill will help stop that gap at short; it has been the hole through which many a game has slipped from Omaha's grip. vWS' JOIW, OP WOULD It M MOV J f tw- I r WKrXT rfjT'l - ZJ' llf Ir Father 4P-SI ss- k-xj X I "NTT Ishsl. LCA.VE. LO OlMt OP MOUNT WITH THE OMAHA AMATEURS Board of Director of Local Associa tion Meet and Decide on City Series Dates. FIRST GAME NEXT SUNDAY By FRANK Qt IGLKY. Although rather chilly on the outside last Wednoe-lsy night. It was not neces sary to consult a thermometer to notice the difference in temperature In the coun cil chamber of t!w city hall during the "uwuai cnflab of the board of directors of the Omaha Amateur uuoclatlon. Many arguments that involved technicalities relative to the constitution and bylaws of the association verved to keep tho direc tors and sfiectators at bloodheat while the different questions wore thrashed out. Arparently most all of the directors were in favor of staging thi elimination city series at Jtourke park, hut this would be entirely out c f the question, because when the Omaha team is out of town the Stors utilUe Ilorrkc park. Then it was sug gested that said games be scheduled at Rourke paik In the mornlnr, but this proposition was flatly vetoed by the ma jority. It was finally unanimously de cided to play at the Douglas Comty Fair grounds. Protests Overlooked, A couple of protests wars not acted upon because thu managers registering them failed to appear. The Twenty fourth Street Ramblers protested the game played with the Corr Electrics last Sunday because the Corrs played a man not under contract. Ordinarily the game would have ben ordered replayed, but as the Southern league will close the gates today the Rambler cannot vin the pennant unless they trim tho Somheest Improvement club tod.iy, jonsequeiitly 1t was decided that in the event Uioy copped tho game booked for today, in en they would he afforded an opportunity to re play thn game with '.he Corr Electrics, otherwise the standing will emaln the same.

And it takes money to get players ; that can grace a pennant winner. Charles i Comlskey, owner of the White Box, un derstands thai perfectly, which same accounts for the huge amount of money the "Old Roman" haa parted with for players. Comlskey's recent purchase of Dddla Murphy from the Philadelphia Athletic for a sum said to be 110,000 Just recalled the work Comlskey is doing to build up! a championship team. Early this year ' h created a sensation when It was an nounced that he had paid o0,000 for Eddie Collins, the great second baseman of the Philadelphia Athletics. Of course, that was the highwater mark in the purchase of ball players, but Comlskey was willing to beat it. He was ready to hand Con nie Mack SGO.OOO for Frank Baker, but the Philadelphia leader, with a little grouch on, refused the sum, and said, too, that ha would refuse even a million dollars. Mack had a little vengeance to spill, but that is neither here nor thera It's Comlskey that this little tale is about Before Comlskey paid that SOO.OOO for Collins he held second place In the list of big buyers for base tail players. He got there when he handed out S1S.&00 for Larry ChappeiL Barney Dreyfuas held the high card up to the Collins purchasing day, after paying fJS.M for Marty O'Toole, long since proven a flivver and Ills Other Records. It will be remembered that only a few years ago he handed out H1.0u0 tor Rus sell Blackburn and also paid Slt.B00 for Kay Schelk. Kight thousand dollar tnaiks were common in his offers, for he paid that much for ling Bodle. a like amount for Bobby Roth and the same for Rollie Zelder. The tlO.Oflu given for Mur phy makes Comlskey stand out as the greatest buyer, and any man who will spend his money to give the fans the best there u ln the market cannot feel much Drawn for The Bee by George McManus J41X& his share, and Gibbons, In order not to appear as a piker, spoke up for not less than llfi.OiK). He was promised that amount. The men are to weigh 147 pounds at 1 o'clock on the date of the bout, which will go for ten rounds, provided neither Is knocked out before that time, and the ohances for a knockout look mighty slim, aa both are clever boxers and know how to avert the deciding blow. of the effects of the so-callod hard times in base ball. Comlskey hain't stopped buying, either. Whenever hla new manager, Clarence Rowland, sees a player lie would Ilka to havo, all he has to do I to tfi I to wore and dicker for the desired player's serv ices. Then he tells Comlskey and that setttes It. Which ts the , way to get a championship outfit Hits Up Dirge on Mouth Organ When Player Strikes Out NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Contrary to gen eral belief, "Hughey' Jennings was not the first man to employ a whistle In base ball as a medium to asalst In coach ing. There was another and. incidentally, he was a red head, too. Of him. more anon. ln thu season of 19"7 "Hughey" Jen nings created a furore In tase ball cir cles by springing a little postman's whistle as an adjunct to his coaching. Previous to this Jennings worked bis voice so hard that he had to devise some other means to make known that be was In the game. The whittle was a success, and the manner in which "Hughey" used It brought down tho house; it also brought down the ire of "Bilk" O'Lough lin, the umpire, and he made a loud pro test and ordered Mr. Jennings to desist Ths next day "Hughey" was out on the lines as big as life and opened up with his little whistle. In a moment he had the bleacherltes hi an uproar of mer riment. The mualo pleased the fans and the innovation was a great hit Mr. trLoughlin again ordered the auburn haired one to put the whistle up. Mr. Jennings asserted there was no rule to compel him to desist and forthwith started another tune. "Milk" chased blm to the bench. It took more than benching to squelch Jen nings, for he was on hand the next day and opened up with a merry tune on his pet whistle. and the bard-hearted tSLoughlin suspended "Hughey" for ten days. Then cams the final decision from "Ban" Johnson, with the remark that ahlatles were ail right for steam engines snd policemen, but were out of place on a well regulated ball park. A wild Irishman by the name of Bran nick, .who played In the south Michigan league a few seasons ago, used a mouth organ in a very effective manner in con junction with his ability as a coacher. WAK DUES HOT HURT SPORT Base Ball Alone is Slowing Up, and that Cannot Be Attributed to the War Alone. EVEN EACTNO IS COMING BACK NRff YORK, Aug. 7. Just a little over a year ago when the FXiropean nations went growling at earn other and getting ready to spring at each other our little sporting world was all a-tremble. "If the threatened war cornea to pajaa and goes on for any extended period, business in this country will go to smash and wtth It all our American sport fix tures," walled ' many. Much heed was paid to the cry, but now almost a year has passed and sports In the Iand of the Free are in such fine shape as to make it appear that there is no such thing as a war. True, base ball has "slowed up" a bit, but the European conflict cannot be blamed for that. Conditions here have been a greater cause of that than any thing else. But we're through wtth that "What's) the matter with base, ball 7" question that has caused some people to become "red headod." We're going to let some of the "wise guya" find out all about It. Let's get to the other things. Foot ball, for instance, didn't feel the sting of Mars one bit last fall. The crowda were bigger and more enthusiastic than ever before. Even the minor games drew good-sited crowds and the season wound up with a record of having scored the biggest hit In the great college game's history. Then hockey went too, aa did soccer foot bull, basket ball, and other games which enjoy but little prominence. Tennis Is Booaslma. It was) thought because of their Inter national associations that both tennis and track athletlos would be hard hit by the war. Of course, the International phase of both sports was wiped out for the time being, but that fact did not. In the least, h. int.r.. In th. nUMm. Tennis Is enjoying a boom this year It never be - fore knew. Kxc.llent court men are de- .11 ve lh rnunfr nit TTnrle Sam bids fair to have such exponents ere long that will make him stand supreme ln the game for many years to oome. Then the Interest which Is being taken In the coming national championships at the West Hide Tennis ejub proves that there are those who do not play who are lending an Interest to the game. Despite the double trip-hammer blow caused by the war and the death of James K. Sullivan, track and field sports have had, and are still having, a won derful year. Indoors last winter the meets were almost uniformly successful. Out of more than sixty meets In the lo cal territory not more than six failed to make expanses. The present outdoor season has been a winner, too. Han ill capper Obertubestlng of the Amateur Athletio union, who handlra praotloaily every entry that la turned In, estimates that the outdoor athletio activity this year Is something like 20 per cent greater than In 1M4. Next year, with the national championships at Newark, track sports J will boom to an even greater degree. Ooalnar Goes Uooit. Boxing is not "ln the dumps" after a year of war. The ordinary shows are drawing fairly well, and the good ones are playing to big houses. Boxing suf fers a bit from over-production, perhaps. but, on the whole, the sport is on a good, sound basis from top to bottom. Racing is making a grand effort to come back, and ln this case it may be said that the war has been more or lass of an aid to the resumption of Interest in the sport. America's best horsemen are back ln their own country grinding nut their living and giving to the home folk what they have been handing to for- pinner for several years. The breeding In dustry has taken a lesson from the war, too, and when that branch takes a bond the trials and speed contests of the thoroughbreds are always sure to prove most Interesting. With continued good ' handling the old sport of kings is almost sure to regain the high place in sport It once held. Golf Oslui Rapidly. It seems that It will take more than a world-wide war to shake the enthusi asm of the golfer, and as for swimming, ll s going along merrily, and the various aquatic stars are going along on their way smashing records Just as though they were being chased for their honors by a foreign star. No, the war hasn't hit sport In Amer ica a bit. All It has done Is to doprlve it of that most wholesome International flavor the thing most sought by the pro moters.
