Pillayintf a hani;-up article of base
ball tliat Martled the funs who have
hern watching them the last ton days,
ihe de luxe Kourklets walloped the
t;i lights out of the lowly Links from
i incohi yesterda, 8 to J.
The Links were completely out
massed. They never had a chance to
.MH'X the combat. Lou Nortli held
ii-m in the hollow of bis hand in
(.very inning except the eighth, when
the Ducklings nantered their only
tuo runs, and the Rourke arttlleiy
unmercitullv hammered the offerings
the ancient Jack Halla, the class
ft the Lincoln hurling corps.
About -MUM fans turned out for the
contest. It was the biggest Saturday
crowd of the year, drspiti: the chill
in the atmosphere, which made it a
bit uncomfortable in the grandstand,
and the threatening sprinkles which
occurred just before the game. And
it was the most enthusiastic crowd
that ha attended a ball game this
year. The Kourkes had a lot of moral
support and they dotrved it. It.hu
the fervency of the fans yesterday
there will be some doings at the bar
gain bill thi- afternoon.
Scare in the First.
I he th"i-bhing public was tilled
with a little apprehension in the
opening Mana. After Karl Smith
made a nitty catch of t.irli-le'- poke
to left, Tony Smith smeared a double
into right field. I homaou was duek
oup, but North became wild ;iud
walked Lobcr, and that gent -camp
freu to second wiieu irei,iti uio uieu
a pitch. North. hnvcer -teadi'd. and
f'ok care ot .Morse.
Karl Smith opened the Omaha half
nf the fir-t round with a double to
left, but his mates failed to work him
around.
A mental slip by Lattimorc gave
the Kourkes their first marker in the
cond spasm. Hruie Kruegcr start
ed the festivities m this stana with
a drive to left, and JYrsythe bunted.
Morse mussed it up and loth Ernie
anrf Cy were safe, after which Kil
dim laid down a neat sacrifice. Burg
hit a roller to Lattimorc and Laity
decided to make the play for first.
This enabled Krucger to score. Laity
cottjd have cut Krueger down at 1 he
rubber it he had tried, and his failure
to do so brought down the wrath of
his mates upon his head:
Shag Takes Hand.
North held the Links tight in the
third and fourth and Halla prevented
any scoring by the Kourkes, but in
the fifth Shag Thompson took a
hand in the doings and started Mr.
Halla on the road to ruin. With two
down in this frame, Marty Krug beat
out an infield hit. Thompson, after
waiting for the count, cracked the
pdl into right field. The drive was
low and hard and carried a lot of
english. The ball hit several feet in
side the foul line, but the drive
was so hard and the english so great
that the pill bounced over the fence
into the bleachers and Shag galloped
home for a home run. Krug raced
in from first at a ten-second gait.
Marty didn't know the ball bounded
into the bkachers and he ran him
self purple in the lace in his ctfort
to score.
That drive proved the undoing of
the veteran Mr. Halla, f"r in the
slammed his curves all over the park.
Krueger Cracks Double.
Ernie Krueger started the sixth
with a double to left, and Loher
dropped Forsythe fly to right. hil
dutt scored both men with a double
which sailed over Leber's bean.
Kewpie counted a moment later on
North's single over second.
In the seventh Thompson gae the
carnival a sendoff by hitting a single
to center and taking second on a
passed ball. Miller beat out a bunt,
and Ernie Krueger made his fourth
hit of Ihe game, scoring Thompson.
Miller va. put out at third, but For
sythc deliered a single which sent
Krueger home.
The Links got their only ufh in
the eighth. Halla .'pened the inning
witn a single to center and Carlisle
doubled to right, sending Jack to
third. Tony Smith's single scored
both men. Tony stole second and
tried to score on Hunter's single to
center, but was thrown out by
Thompson.
North in Form.
Lou North hurled a swell game of
ball. Only in the eighth did he
falter, and the Omaha lead was so
great at thai time he didn't have any
thing t" worry him. He was given
woiidertul support. ,ary an error
did the Rourke.. commit, and some
of the fielding was big league stuff.
Krug and Ktlduft engineered a double
play in the second that was a beaut
and Shag Thompson made a couple
of swell catches in the field.
Ernie Krueger was the hitting star
of the day, but was given a race for
honors by Thompson. Ernie nude
four hits out of as many trips to the
plate, for a perfect average, while
Thompson made three hits, one of
i hem the homer.
A double-header will be played to
day. The first game will start at 2
o'clock.

AS GOOD AS FOR FIVE YEARS
By JAMES E. LAWRENCE.
Lincoln, Aug. 2b. (Special.) The
Cornhusker toot ball clan will be gath
ering here next week for the opening
of gridiron activities at the University
ot Nebraska.
Dick Rutherford, tor three jears the
greatest athlete in the university, who
will show his hand this year as assist
ant t" Head Coach Ii. J. Stewart,
formerly of the Oregon Aggies, and,
his bride arrived in Lincoln Wedncs-
day, but immediately left t'-r Beatrice!

Recti, business manager am! aistant
athletic director of the university, will '

Many High School Stars. j
Heed brings the word that he has'
written letters and received answers
from over 500 prospective freshmen :
who will enter the university in Sep- i
tcmber and who played their allotted i
years on the high school foot ball
teams in the state. It is the greatest,
bunch of material for foot ball squads
that ever entered the university in one I
season and Reed confidently declares j
it will be the greatest tirst-year team:
Hiiskers have ever seen. Practically,
all of the men who are coining have'
hail two to four year.- experience in
high school toot ball and with another
year on the university squad should be
a great ltoost for foot ball at Nc-i
braska.
Dick Rutherford .--ays that out on
the coat thev hae it in their noodle'
that the Oregon Aggies will give the
Uuskers a Mrong s-panking when Ne
braska journeys there the a?it of Oc
tober, Diek looked over the situation
there and found thfy were accustomed
to putting out a whale ot a team, but
h? docs not exaetly pin much faith in
the talk of whipping the Hunkers.
Rutherford lias a lot of confidence in
the strength ot Nebraska toot ball
teams and be looks tor this year's
elcvfii to be fully up to thoe of the
last five years.
Married in California.
The Nebraska assistant coach was
married to Miss Titikelpaugh at Long
Beach last June and spent the entire
summer at Pasadena.
Captain Tim Corey is expected to
reach Lincoln this week after spend
ing most of August in tackling some
of the mountains in Colorado. The
big Busker leader is in superb phys
ical trim and reports that the other

OPEN SEASON ON
ATHLETES CLOSES
Draft Period Starts and No '
More Minor League Players
Sold to the Majors.
THREE ROURKES TO GO UP
The open season on athletes closed
last night at midnight. So if any ,
major league club decided if wants!
the ticrvices of our pennanl-purstiing
Rburkes, it will have to draft or wait,
until October. ;
For the drafting period started at
midnight last night. From now on un
til September 15 the club owners arc
given a chance to make up their draft
lists and on September 15 the draft
opens. The major leagues get the
first crack, after which comes the AA
loops, the A, etc. The Western league
is a Class A organization and there
fore get third chanre in the draft.
It is believed the Rourkes will lose
one more player in the draft. That is
Ray Miller, the first packer who has
been such a sensation in this loop this
year. It is thought a double A club
will put in ad raft for Ray. San Fran
cisco of the Pacific Coast league is
one club which is sweet on the Roin kc
first sackcr.
Rourke May Draft One.
Rourke is stiil undetermined wheth
er he will put in a draft for ajjy play
ers of lower class. There are one or
two bushers. Pa likes the looks of and
he may try to draft one ot them.
Ihe deals Pa Rourke completed
Thursday and Friday for the sah of
Earl Smith, Ernie Krueger and Kew
pie Kilduft tu big league clubs con
tain a provision which will prove pop
ular with Omaha fans. In case any one
of the three fails to make good in
fast company, they will return to
Omaha, under the provisions of the
deal.
The Chicago Cubs bought Smith.
They have until May 1 to try him out.
It" they keep him after that date, they
must pay the purchase price to
Rourke. Otherwise they must turn
him back to Omaha.
Short Time on Krueger.
The New York Ciants. who pur
chased Knirger and K ihlutf, w ill only
have until April JO to h.ok these
youths over. This is a prt tty" short
time and in cave M i t ira w does not
keep them he inu-t eml tlntu hack
in time tor tiie Vtt--ni league open
iiig. It is the belif, however, that both
Smith and KruoRer will sink. Smith
is a finished ball player right now and
Rourke believes he i a bt ttt-r outfield
er than Kelly, Maun. Flack or any
nf the others on the Cub roster.
Krueger also has been playing in ma
jor league style this year and the
(jiants are in need of a ged receiver.
Kilduft may need another year of
experience. Hut it Kewpie shows the
same stuff in tlic Giant training camp
he did with the Rourkes this spring
it won't be any surprise if Muggsy
holds on to him.
