THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 16, 1916. 3 S i Judgments NOW that the middle of July has been reached and the Rourkes edntinne "to gallop along at their pace-making clip, an Omaha fan doesn't have to be overly optimistic to entertain prospects of a flag raising day in the Nebraska metropolis. Of course, it is always possible for a ball club to "crack under the strain." But the Rourkes do not exhibit any symp toms of an impeding crack and the team is not the kind that cracks. If the Rourkes were the cracking kind, they would have cracked some time ago. Because, despite their success, the Omaha club is the hard-luck team of the league. At the start of the sea son Harold Irelan broke his leg. Then it was discovered Outfielder Anderson would be unable to report at all. John Priest, for whom a big price was paid, Iiroved a failure in the Western eague. Ernie Krueger was out for over two weeks with a split hand. Earl Smith hiked away to get married. Lou North, the best pitcher on the squad and also the class of the league, hurt his arm, Marty OToole hurt his foot and Kewpie Kilduff took ill. And last, but not least, as is always the case, there is that old concentrated ef fort on the part of every city in the league to trim Omaha. If you can find a team in the Western league that has harder luck than Omaha, we would like to inquire which one it is. And still the Rourkes continue to win and lead the league race. It doesn't take any expert prognosicator to pass the judgment that the Rourkes are the class of the league. Following the complaint of Harry Sillee that the hotels in New York were not of sufficient "class" for him, a roar has arisen from the ranks of the Pittsburgh Pirates because Barney Dreyfuss refuses to provide taxicabs to and from hotels and railroad sta tions for his players. This is indeed an heinous offense. Too little atten tion is being paid to the down-trodden athlete by the greedy magnates now that the federal league has expired. Such niggardliness on the part of Dreyfuss should not go uncensored. The players' fraternity should look into this at onoe. For if the magnate is not punished immediately he is likely to become more arrogant than ever and inclined to be still more harsh toward his shackled slaves. The bean ball problem is up once again. The bean ball will always be a problem and the Ebbett suggestion that a batter be permitted his base when the hurler throws a bean ball will not help the situation. Because what umpire, calling upon his well known judgment, could determine a deliberate bean ball? He couldn't do it and wrangles and protests would be constant. The bean ball is dangerous business, but on the face of it there doesn't seem to be anyway to avoid it unless all of the managers get to gether and agree to prohibit its use among their own hurlers and that is something which never will happen. The pace the Boston Braves are making in the National league bor ders pretty closely on the remark able. The Braaves are last in team batting in the league and they haven't a single pastimer on speaking terms with a .300 swat percentage. Yet the Braves are fighting for the lead. They used to call Fielder Jones' White Sox the hitless wonders, but with the Braves this title would fail to be explanatory. Cyrus Forsythe is coming into his own again. Cyrus started a bad slump the first of the year and it looked for a while as if the veteran was approaching the end. But a few weeks ago his batting eye returned and since then he has been playing a whale of a game and is now slug ging the ball at a .316 clip. Cy is still a young man and he should have a good many more years of base ball in his system if he'll keep his head up and tight. Wild Bill Donovan, manager of the New York Yanks, sent his trainer, an ex-pugilist, up into the stands at Philadelphia the other day to lick a fan who hurled remarks at him. The ex-pug trainer did it. All of which adds luster to the fair reputation of the manly art of base ball. Three Omaha hurlers are now lead ing the pitchers of the Western league.. Marty O'Toole with seven games won and one tost leads the league, while Lou North follows with nine won and two lost. Otto Merz with nine and four is third. The difference between a German submarine and the Athletics is that the submarine comes up from the bot tom occasionally. Christy Mathewson's fadeaway may be less effective than of yore, but the Giants' fadeaway percentage is still on the job. If the Rourkes keep on going they'll sail clear through the top of the league. Southwest Tennis Experts Hold Fast Meet at Orleans Orleans, Neb., July 15.--(Special.)

HOT WATER FOR DIRECTORS BY FRANK QUIGLEY. A communication was received from the National association by the board of directors of the Omaha Amateur Base Ball association which requested that a representative of the Omaha association should be present at the meeting of the various delegates on August 17 at Indianapolis. The di rectors decided in the negative rela tive to sending an agent to Indianap olis because they have set aside no appropriation for this trip. The main purpose of the meeting is to decide when and where the elimination cham pionship games will be staged and the final championship contest. The Omaha boys will be satisfied to take a chance on the ruling of the dele gates present because they are rea sonably sure of a square deal. A motion was made and passed at the meeting of the directors that players connected with the Brandeis and Joe Smiths and other teams of a similar standing, would be barred from participation in games coming under the jurisdiction of the Omaha Amateur association. The Walnut Grove Athletics were allowed to sign three men of a class B caliber to take the place of the same number of de serters. Scrap in Omaha Loop. Although the Fourth of July is his tory fireworks were very much in evidence at the meeting of the mag nates of the Greater Omaha league last week. The excessive heat did not deter the various managers from being exasperated during the session. It was decided to let the Frank Dew eys under the wire next Sunday to fill up the gap left open by the de parture of the Ducky Holmes ag gregation. The games credited to the Armours and Luxus as being for feited by the Holmes crew were ordered cut out and if these games have any bearing on the champion ships they will probably have to be played as postponed games with the Frank Deweys, because the Deweys are only supposed to play one round. The Deweys were not required to put up the customary forfeit but they are to forfeit their share of the gate receipts, said dough going to the oth ers teams in this league. The writer is of the opinion that the Deweys ought to consult an alienist and as certain what is wrong with their think tanks. Pretty soft for the bal ance of the Greater Omaha winners to spend the mazuma earned by the Frank Deweys. Of course, after the Frank Deweys earn twenty rocks and reimburse the Greater Omaha league's strong box with same, then they can gobble at the balance. It looks as if this league ought to be tickled to get a team to promise to supplant the Ducks, with out practically forcing them to play for their health. Twenty-five dollars of the Ducky Holmes' forfeit money will go as originally intended and the other $25, minus $3 association dues, will be hung up as an incentive to make the boys close to the cellar en deavor to land berth four. When the Deweys enter the field their standing will be nought and the Ducky Holmes standing will be rele gated to the wood pile. John Boek hoff, the manager of the Armours, was in Chicago and did not have a voice at the meeting. He would have probably raised a racket, tennis or some other kind, when it was sug gested that the games forfeited to the Armours by the Ducky Holmes team would not be allowed. Circumstances have been such that the Armours in variably fall in line to meet the fate of different decisions made by the magnates of the Greater Omaha league. Possibly the decisions are just and the writer is unable to figure out all the contingencies, but anyway the Armours are up against a starchy proposition. End Is Near. The final struggle for supremacy in the Class A Saturday league, known as the Commercial league, will be put on the boards next Saturday, either at Luxus or Ducky Holmes' park, when the Armours and Hotel Castle will clash. They are now knotted for the first stall. This wrangle will be worth the price with a tip on the side. Next Tuesday the Ramblers will ramble out of Omaha on a smoke wagon labeled for Aurora, Neb., where they will stage their initial ar gument of a two-weeks' run through the state, which will probably termi nate at North Platte. They have one more game booked before the National league closes its books, that game being scheduled with the Centurions. It has been ru mored that the Centurions will for feit this game, but if otherwise, ar- Smiling Ralph Mulford Driving 111.9 Miles an Hour "7 -' ' 5t . iaa u-St' 0 ! I i V RALPH nvZTORD 3 was, ' aN"S rangements will be consummated to play this game the Sunday after the Ramblers' return. Two League! Through. ; The regular schedule of the Boost er and Inter-City leagues terminates today. The Krajiceks are the unde feated leaders of the Inter-City league and they can't lose today, because the team booked to oppose them has abandoned the field and they will chalk up a forfeit game, hence they can now be heralded as the cham pions of the Inter-City league. Three teams in the Booster league, namely, the Tradesman, Trimble Brothers and the Beddeos have each dropped three games and it will be necessary to play a few additional games, which were postponed during the season in order to ascertain which one will hook the rag. Hereafter any player connected with the Greater Omaha league will have to secure written permission from his manager in order to play with an out-of-town team, otherwise his contract will be null and void for this season and next so far as active participation in games governed by the aforementioned league is con cerned. This resolution is evidently a good one, because all the managers greeted it with the stamp of approval. The association granted Bernard Hageman, manager of the Trimble Brothers, power to sign one new player. Several players formerly with the La Siestas have joined the Beselins and the directors approved the move. The protest between the Tradesman and National Cash Registers was de cided in favor of the Registers be cause the score was 3 to 2 in their favor when the curtain should have been dropped. A protest between the Trimble Brothers and the Na tional Cash Registers was waste just woke up. Freddy Welsh Will Defend Title This Fall in Colorado Denver, Colo., July 15. Freddie Welsh, world's champion lightweight, has definitely accepted an offer of $17,500 for a twenty-round decision battle for the championship before the Colorado Springs Athletic club, known as the hundred-million-dollar club, on Labor day. It was first reported that Welsh had signed articles, and he would have but for the fact that he was compelled to catch a fast train for San Francisco to get there in time to bid good-bye to his sister, who will sail for the Malay peninsula. The articles will be signed upon the deposit of a guarantee, which will be accomplished upon Welsh's return here. The club officials were pre pared to put the money in the bank today, but all arrangements could not be made before Welsh left The purse offered by the club for the bout is $20,000. Today's offer made to Welsh is far more liberal than the demand of Welsh and his manager, but the terms of $13,000 required a privilege of the gate receipts. The right to choose the opponent rests with the club instead of with Welsh. Though it is generally ac cepted that Charlie White will be the man who will meet Welsh, it is also within the range of possibility that Johnny Dundee or Benny Leonard will win the right to contest for the championship in his place.

HAL M' KINNEY GOES EAST BY RUSSELL PHELPS. -. Over in another column you'll find an account of how several thousand "speed mad" racing fans heered themselves hoarse as the "daredevils" "circled the oval," "hit the boards." "flirted with death," and all that And all well enough. Motor racing is a grand game; but there are those, and they are legion, who would hold out, even if the whole world, Mars, Saturn and all the rest of the planets were motoriied to the 'steenth degree, that there is but one real sport horse racing, the proverbial sport of kings. The roar and sputter and deafening, power-spitting engines of the gas boys' sulkies" overshadowed and drowned out most everything else in the sport line here during the last week, especially over at East Omaha, a place referred to by the buzz wagon scribe as the "motor speedway," but nevertheless stubbornly contended to be, by the perpertrator of this column, the "harness racing track of tha Omaha Driving club." Horses Stay in Clear. A few horses horses that are being quartered at the local track for one reason or another, instead of starting in the numerous meetings, looming up on all sides of Omaha these days, nervously pawed the ground and fid geted in their stalls during the week and wondered what the noise was all about. But the horse will again have his inning in Omaha in a month or so, and the chances are ten to one that the thousands of loyal Omaha sport men and sportswomen who journeyed out to the speedway yesterday, will repeat the performance August 22 to 26, inclusive, the dates of the Great Western circuit meeting at East Omaha under the auspices of the Omaha Driving club. That it will be the greatest harness racing card ever hung up in Nebraska or the middle west is conceded by even the doubting Thomases of the horse fraternity. The great, Great Western circuit, offering in stakes and purses a sura that totals up a quarter of a million dollars for the eleven meetings, sched ules the first program tomorrow at Cleveland. Then in order come: De troit, Peoria, Galesburg, Burlington, Omaha, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Springfield and Sedalia. The talent is predicting the most suc cessful season the Great Western has ever experienced. Hal McKinney Goes East. Omaha's greatest pacer, Hat Mc Kinney, owned by Tom Dennison, was taken to Galesburg last week' after completing the most notable early meeting campaign in the fa mous stallion's racing history. The pride of the Dennison stables is in charge of Bob Sebastin, the well known driver and trainer. A picked caretaker was taken along to give constant attention to the kingly ani mal that so successfully cleaned up the free-for-all pacing events in Ne braska the last couple of months. Hal McKinney is to be given daily workouts on the mile track at Gales burg, and then, if in his owner's esti mation, the son of Hal B. has shown himself to be well fitted for the longer distance, he will be entered in the big noise. At just what meeting Hal McKinney will make his debut on the Grand, Mr. Dennison has not as yet decided. It all depends on what the pacer does at Galesburg in the way of training on the mile oval. Mr. Dennison went to Cleveland yesterday where R. C. H., 2:13, a fancy trotter in which he owns a half interest, will start in the initial pro gram of the Ohio city meeting. Peter son Brothers of Omaha own the other half interest in R. C. H. Marvin Childs will handle the reins. Local racing interest the last week centered upon Fremont, where the second meeting of the Nebraska Speed association drew large crowds and afforded the fans three days of classy stepping. Several Omaha- owned speed merchants got in trie money, large delegations of local fans watching their favorites work by, and horsemen making the run to the meet ing each day and returning the same evening. The horses entered for the third meeting on the Speed associa tion circuit will be turned at West Point on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Death of Dan Patch. The death of Dan Patch at Minne apolis last week marked the passing of the greaest pacer the world has ever known. His death was followed in a day by that of his owner, M. W. Savage, one of the counrty's fore most horsemen and a man whose name was always linked in horsedom with that of his champion pacing wonder. Dan Patch, champion of champions, with a mark of 1:55, died of athletic heart, after having carved for himself a niche in the horse world that many believe will never be filled. In oacinsr his sensational miles a few years ago. uan ratch strained his heart many times to a point almost beyond equine endurance, the organ being called upon to stand t strain almost to the breaking point The famous horse had been used only for breeding purposes for sev eral years. His offsprings were nearly as great as he, for records within a few second of the untouched 1:55 mark have been made by some of his progeny. Dan Patch was great both as a racer and as a sire. And he was a game horse game to the last drop, and it was his indomitable courage that resulted in the weakness that finally caused his death. HHUni of Na AnU.

Many a man la Interned In Canada for leu than that GRAND CIRCUIT TO START THIS WEEK Two Hundred and Twenty Seven Horses To Enter the Oeveland Track Meet. GREAT OPENING PREDICTED Cleveland, O., July 15. Two hun dred and twenty-seven horses are nominated to start in the nineteen events which are fixtures for the opening grand circuit meeting over the North Randall track here the week of July 17. The entries aver age twenty to each race. In addi tion to these entries there will be another event to take the place of the 2:21 trot, which failed to fill to the satisfaction of the local officials and has been declared off. All the other events are well filled and in most of them are entered horses of such high class that many local horsemen are predicting that the meeting here will be the greatest opening week in the history of the grand circuit. Despite the fact that the season has been very backward, the condi tion of the horses appears to be un usually advanced, and thrilling sport is anticipated. The big event of the week's pro gram is the 2:08 trot, the Ohio state, with a $3,000 purse attached. A close second is the free-for-all pace, with $1,200 purse. In the Ohio stake are entered a bunch of fast young horses who made names for themselves in colt races last year, but are appear ing for the first time this season in the big stake events on the grand circuit. Perhaps the most prominent of them are Peter Mae, a Cleveland horse, who is touted to be a coming two-minute performer, and Sprlngan, the San Francisco trotter, who won the $20,000 stake at the Panama-Pacific exposition last year. Others of fame are Bacelli, a Cleveland entry, and Guy Nella of Memphis. This same field will go into the M. and M. stake at Detroit after the Cleveland meeting. In the free-for-all pace art included such renowned speed mer chants as Directum I, 1:564, who along with Russell Boy, 2:02M, It entered by Thomas W. Murphy of Poughkeepsie, N. Napoleon Di rect, with "Pop" E. F. Geera op, will alto get into this event. Other secondary feature races arc the Edwards, $3,000 stake, for 2:10 Dacers: the Forest City tweeottaket. with $500 added money for two-year- old trotters; the Kandall sweepstakes, with $500 added for three-year-old trotters, and the Fatig tweepitakea. with $500 added for three-year-old ..J ,h.

Announce ment that a wealthy railroad con structor of Seattle has engaged to finance a trip of the University of Washington crew to Poughkeepsie next summer is an outcome prima rily of the success of Washington crews against Stanford and Califor nia in the sorinir regattas on the west coast. Also, the report of Hiram Connibear, the Washington coach, who attended both the Hudson and Thames regattas, may have had something to do with the matter. Connibear saw nothing in the work of any of the eights to impress him with a sense of the superiority of the eastern crews over his boatload of huskies: at least, his general atti-. tude, if not his words, impressed those who met him in this way. Con nibear came to the Atlantic seaboard with manifest intention of supple menting his knowledae of rowing. and now he is attending the Harvard summer tchool of coaches in order to increase his knowledge of scienti fic conditioning. Of Stanford much it seen to inter est on when tha Palo Altant rowed at Poughkeepsie In 1915; the crew did not know a great deal about row ing, but they had the theer brute strength to impose upon a polished and powerful Cornell eight the very year of endeavor. Aa Washington this year defeated practically the same Stanford crew that rowed on the Hudson two teatons ago, defeat ed them by several lengths over a three-mile coarse, there is little reason to doubt that tha men of Seat tle would have made a creditable thawing at Poughkeepsie this year, and probably will do to in 1917, since mott of the oarsmen of thit year's crew are retained. Tha cost of the journey to the Hudson It estimated at $4,000, and thit turn, at laid, wilt be advanced by a railroad builder, Horace C Henry.
