CLfuzpionship Teami of Omaha and
Duluth Will Battle at Rourke
Park Thii Afternoon.
E3T " COMBAT 13 EXPECTED
Providing the dispenser of the well
known weather doesn't take it into his
I ,i to crab the doings and hopes aren't
pnrtlculaviy bright in view of yesterday's
jrertlctlon the local amateur base ball
Aon will close in a blase of glory this
afternoon at Rourke park when Uie
, l.uxu. champions of Omaha, will battle
te Kdtsons, champions of Duluth. In the
f ft of the inter-clty series fames held
vnder the ausplcea of the National Ama
teur Base Ball association in Omaha.
Omaha amateur fans have been looking
forward, to this combat for weeks. They
have long wondered and pondered on the
.ajMaMilty of the Luxus crew relative to the
strong amateur teams of other cities. The
- 3-iuluth team comes to Omaha heralded
as champions an 4 the local fans will get
their wish.
Duluth has already beaten the champs
of St. Paul. This trick they turned on
their home lot a week ago. They are
confident of trimming the local lads as
well.
Luxus Oat for Blood.
But should they make good their boast.
It will only be after a tough tussle. For
the Luxus are going into the game today
with fire in their eyes; they are out tor
blood. All week Manager Johnny Den-
tilson has been tolling with bis pupils. He
has been drilling them hard and when
they take the fiftd today they Wlll be in
Shape to put up the battle of their career.
Little chubby Guy Holland will be on
the mound for the brewers. His south
paw slants have been baffling to local
swatsmiths. and there isn't much chance
that the Minnesota chaps will turn the
tray Into a slugfcBt. On the other hand.
Alder, the Duluth hnrler, la said' to be a
stlngr youth and advance indications
point to a pitchers' battle that will be a
corker.
Eleven members of the Duluth squad
arrived in Omaha yesterday. They are
. i - a. u ir.i-i t m..
malnlng three players on the team will
get in this morning.
Aato Ride Today.
At t o'clock this morning the Duluth
lads will be given an automobile tour
around the city. Acting Mayor Butler,
Commissioners Hummel and Drexel, Dick
Grotte and Jake Krug will provide ma
chines for the amateurs. . The ride will
take about two hours.
- This evening after the gam Manager
Dennlson of the Luxus will give a ban
quet for the visitor and his own team.
The amateur association hoped to give
the banquet, but found its funds too low,
ao Manager Johnny stepped forward and,
offered to foot the bill' ao that the visitors
could be banqueted. , .

The big attraotion this afternoon will
start at 1:90. At 1:M a preliminary came
will be jlyed. This game will be be
tween W' Brown Park Merchant, ruaw
ners-up in. Class B city series, and
an all-star nine picked from players In
the American league. This game should
be a good one and well worth the two-
bit admission prloe Itself.

Jack Holland Says
Western Intends to
Break from 0. B. B.
That the Western league Is planning
to secede from organised base bail and
to affiliate with the Federals is a state
ment aocredited to Jack Holland of Bt.
Joseph. Holland, says ths report, be
lieves there Is an oganised plan to throw
over the traces and that it will be made
public soon.
All of which Is denied vehemently by
the owners who attended the meeting in
Omaha. That the Western league In
tends to stick to organised ball to the
finish is their emphatic declaration.
Holland, is appears, Is somewhat put
out because he was dropped from the roll
of the board ot directors. Jack also an
nounces that he intends to fight to the
last ditch what be terms the attempt to
oust himself and Isbell from ths board.
However, Mr. Holland seems to have si
ready been ousted, and about ths best he
can do Is squawk vocally.

New Elmwood Park
Course Has Number
Of Tough Hazards
Both BXkpervlaor of Recreation English
and Charley Johnston, Happy Hollow
club professional, who planned the course,
are antruslastlo over the new Elmwood
park golf course which is being laid out
this fall and will be opened for play
next spring.
"It will be one of the sportiest courses
In this part of the country," declares Mr.
English, "and It la not a short course
either. The eighteenth hole is one of the
best I aver saw. The ball must be pitched
erw ths creek that runs through the
park and over some high trees into a bull
pea where the green is situated. It
take a mighty good shot to land right
"In another place the fairway Is but
seventy-five feet between two rows of
high trees. If the drive doesn't go di
rectly down the fairway, It's trouble for
the golfer.
"Another feature of the course that
should prove attractive tor match play ti
that it is possible to follow all the way
around the eighteen holes by automobile.
Thus you can ait in your car and watch
a golf match, a feature I do not believe
any other course In the country possesses.

Some Weak Spoti Found in Lineup
of the Foot Ball Team Made Up
' ' , by Univeriity of Omaha. "
POACH PATCHING UP THE HOLES
Coach Delamatre of the University of
Omaha foot ball squad is dubious over
the prospects this se's If more foot
ball candidates do not torn out. The
coaeh has been handicapped in this re-
sixx't from the start and meausrys to
remedy the weakness have met with
small results. A determined effort Is to
be made this week to turn out all avail
able material.
Delamatiw la building the ;varslty team
around only four veterans since t'sptaln
Bruce broke a bone In his right hand.
The baok field will hinge on Earnle
Adams, a speedy halfback, who wag the
offensive maiiiMtay of the lineup last
year. The other veterans, Sclbert,, Jenks
and De Bolt, will be used on the line.
Need a ttnsrtrrhsrk.
The serious problem of filling the quar
terback ppfltlon was solved laat week
when "Jap" Iacach, formerly of ' the
Houth Omaha IIIkIi school, came out for
the team. I .each has been showing up
unusually well. He Is heady, shifty on
his feet and la excellent In running down
punts. Korbmaker, another newcomer
from the South Omaha High school, has
cinched the poaltioi at center.
One of the problems confronting the
coach Is the developing of a punter and
drop kicker.' Adams seems the logical
man, but lias not had much experience in
this line.
For the first time in years the line
gives promise of developing Into a real
stone harrier. Wilson, a 240-pound guard
with several years of high school expe
rience, Is showing up well, and so Is Jen
kins, Gangleman, Lowe and Allerton.
There are a number ot good mn out
for the ends, but so far no selection has
been made. ,
Delamatre has .not given his squad
much scrimmage practice. The siuad
has been tacklhig,-booting the ball and
running signals, but has hardly been in
condition for scrimmage work. Dela
matre expects to start this work Monday
at a practice game.
The game with York college at York,
scheduled for Octolwr 1, has been changed
to September W. Ths Omaha team will
leave Wednesday evening, returning home
Friday.

next Snturdny with the hardest early sea
son game In Its history. Drake, a Mis
souri Valley conference team, will pro
vide the Huaker enthusiasts a teat for ths
gridiron machine, which' Coach SUehm
has been hastily whipping In shape ths
last week.
Athletic Manager Guy E. Reed today
completed arrangements for ttt biggest
0enlng dny crowd In Cornhusker ath
letics. Tho Nebrsska mn linger has ar
ranged an especially attractive program
for the Inauguration of the 1916 season.
Secretary Walter Whlteen of the Lin
coln Commercial club, extending an In
vitation to th ememhers of ths Omaha
city commission to attend the game, re
ceived a" letter yesterday from Mayor
Dahlman, stating that he and other
Omaha cltv officials would be on hand
for the game. Governor Morehead, the
members of the Lincoln city commission
and the members of the governor's staff
also received invitations.
The Omaha city officials will be enter
tained at the Lincoln club at noon lunch
eon as guests of the club, with the mem
bers of the Lincoln commission. Special
boxes have been reserved for the visitor
a' the game. ...
Mayara la the Ceater.
Mayor Jim and Brother Charley Bryan,
mayor of Lincoln, are to stage the open
ing festivities. Just prior to ths calling
of the game Jim and Charley will ad
vance to the renter of the field, flip a
coin to decide who will kick off and then
the game will be on.
Reed has added another feature, which
he believes .will bring 1,000 Nebraska high
school foot ball players to the game. In
V Rations were sent out this week to 850
Mgli school In Nebraska asking the
members of the teams to attend. Reed
also arranged that every member or a
hlghaschool team who ran present proper
credentials from the superintendent or
principals of the schools will be admitted
free. A special section of the grandstand
has been reserved for the high school
crowd. , .
For a half hour preceding the game the
I'nlverslty Cadet band will. give a concert
end during the halves a free vaudeville
program will be given.

Hue on Nebraska's first opponent, but

The fight for quarterback is between
Caley and Cook, with the chances now
apparently favoring Caley. Cook was
first placed In charge ot the first eleven,
but .Friday night Stlehm put Caley in
charge, after the speedy little Sterling
boy had given a daxxiing exhibition of,
funning baok punts. Caley has also
shown great form in handling forward
passes, and his work bears close resom
blanos to that of Warren Howard tn this
respect. Cook, on the other hand, had a .
bad week, but the Beatrlos boy is ac-
counted a clever player and a game
fighter, and may succeed tn winning the
place.
Balls and Rusrauasen appear to be fix
lures at ends, although all of tha dope

hi work last year, while Shields seems
to have taken a new lease on life and
his practice work ha been th feature
