Earl Smith and Ernie Krue ger are the ones predictions say will be equal to the superior play of fast company. Smith is already a fin ished outfielder. He is one of those adept kind of outfielders who make easy catches of everything. No mat ter how far he may pursue a ball or what position he is in wherT making the catch, he does it gracefully. And he covers a world of territory. He can go to the right or to the left, or forward or backward, with equal ease. He also fields ground balls quickly and surely. His throwing whip is of first-class caliber. Smith's only chance to fail lies in lack of hitting. And the wise boys believe he will be able to hit big league pitching as easily as Western league curving. .Ernie Krueger is granted an equal chance to stick with the Giants. Er nie is a mighty hard-working, de pendable catcher. He's a big fellow with a good arm, and he's far from slow. And he murders the ball. A young catcher doesn't need any oth er qualifications to be classed as promising. It's about a fifty-fifty bet that Smith and Krueger will stick in the National. Kilduff may or may not stick. Kewpie is still a young ster and hi experience has been lim ned. It may be that he needs an other year m the minors. But, again, the kid may be so . improved next spring that McGraw will keep him. For his sake we'll be pulling. r Who profits in the deal for the great Heinie Zim, Chicago or New i York? That's a problem to stump the most exhaustive dope expert and if he doesn't conclude it is a case of fifty-fifty his dope sheet is bad. Zim merman is probably one of the most natural ball players and one of (he greatest ever born. But, liken unto Rube Waddell, he has the brain of a child. His slugging will probably win games for McGraw, but unless Muggsy can curb his irrepressive spiritj his boncheads will probably lose a few. Larry Doyle, who with Hunter and Jacobsen went to Chi cago for Zim, is an old veteran and has seen his best days. ' He should be good far . another year or two, though, at .least.' But it is thought Tinker got a good man in young Hunter. This lad is still in his teens, but he's played good ball at both third and first and he hits wU. East ern critics say he is bound to make a great player when he gets old enough to vote. Of Jacobsen little is known except that he's a likely looking re cruit. If Hunter proves to be a great ball player, as anticipated, or if Larry )Doyfe continues to retain his stride a few more years, Chicago will profit by the deal, but if both Hunter and Doyle, fail, the Giants will reap the harvest The' Boston Red Sox are likely to encounter some rough going the re mainder of the season as a result of the injury to Captain Jack Barry. There is no escaping the truth, Barry was the mainstay of the Boston in field. When Barry joined the Red Sox a year ago Carrigan's men im mediately took a brace. It was not until Barry was signed that Boston became a pepnant winning combina tion. Barry has always possessed that rare ability to put j fight into a team. He certainly put itiinto Boston. This, in addition to his wonderful ability as a player. Barry's services will be sorely missed by the Red Sox and it's a cinch bet Carrigan's men won't run away with the American league pan nantnow. The Giants pf 1916 will always be a mystery ball club. McGraw's ag gregation is one of the most puzzling enigmas that base ball fans have had ' to ponder over for several years. First the Giants dropped thirteen out of fifteen games. Then Uie same club won nineteen out of twenty-one. Then another slump, then a brief rally and again a slump. It's not a poor ball club; a poor ball club can't win nineteen out of twenty-one games. Then . what is the matter? You answer it; your guess is as good as ours. : Hans Wagner; the veteran short stopper, is staging something of a come-back himself this year. True, Hans has never been away, but he's having a better year this season than he has had since 1911, the last time Wagner topped the National league in hitting. ,ans is riding in first posi tion now with a mark around .330, and if he can continue his gait he'll lead the field home once more. Last year Wagner hit .274 and the year before .254, so it is something of a come back. , BIG DOUBLE BILL AT BALLOT TODAY Murphys Will Battle McCarthys for the Class B Champion ship of the City. RAMBLERS TO MEET LUXUS A Lincnln scribe voices the opin ion that Omaha is weak in the in field, which will blow up if sufficient ly agitated, and weak in one garden of the outfield. That being the case, ma we ask whcr,c Lincoln is weak? By FRANK QUIGLEY. Of course the two games billed for Rourke park today governed by the Omaha Amateur Base Ball associa tion will not pack the stands as full as last Sunday, when Lincoln split a double bill with Omaha, but a record-breaker of a crowd is expected by all the loyal boosters of amateur base ball. Some of you ardent sup porters of the amateurs at gratis games ought to kick through with a two-bit piece today for the good of the cause. The dudes that have am ply demonstrated their superiority in the various leagues will be fighting for the honor of representing Omaha as the Class A and B champions, so a couple of nifty battles will be un loaded. At 1:30 p. m. the Murphy-Did-Its, champs of the City league, who also sidetracked the Chris Lycks. leaders of the American league, will' collide with McCarthy's Sunnybrooks, the big noise of the Southern league. Last Sunday the McCarthys paved the way to tumble the Murphys by trimming the Stags, the kings of the Metropolitan league. According to the dope the Murphy-Did-Its ought to corner this tangle without much trouble, but the Mc Carthys are a puzzle difficult to solve, consequently the wise dopestert are utilizing the soft pedal. The Mc Carthys are an, erratic aggregation. One day they look like major lea guers and the next back to the kid league stall. y Maxwell to Hurl. The Murphys always go along at the same old merry clip. Maxwell will dish out the twisters for the blacksmiths and Donahue will dish up his puzzlers for the Sunnybrooks. The monickers, Murphy and McCar thy, look like fight, sound like trouble, so, fans, consult your roof and miss that Sunday dinner if necessary in order to lamp this tangle. Immediately after the Class B con troversy is a dead issue,, the Luxus and Ramblers will lock horns. Three games are billed between these two contingents for the purpose of eliminating one or the other from the three-cornered Class A fight. The team that wins two out of three will have to play the Armours, the cham pions of the Commercial league, in or der to be crowned. For the second consecutive season the Luxus copped the pennant of the Greater Omaha league, but the competition was keen, for the Omaha Gas company team was close on their trail, with only one game on the wrong side of the ledger. Ramblers Have Cinch. The Ramblers took life and games easy in the National league, and when the bell rung they closed the gates without a spec in the lost column. Ac cording to ' their manager, Otto Pechac, the Ramblers will go into this contest with the dope all against them but determined to give their reputa tion a rosy hue. J awn Dennison is not making any predictions.' Holland will hoist them over the rubber for the Luxus and Kaufman will curl them for the Ramblers. A starchy battle is looked for. Lineups: FtBHT OAMB.

Out at Ducky Holmes base ball emporium, Thirty-first street and Ames avenue, a banner attraction is on the bill of fare for tomorrow aft noon (Labor day), when the River, view Bloomers will bump up against the Fontenelle Bloomers. They were scheduled to play at Riverview park some moons ago, but some of the north end troupe were opposed to staging a Sabbath matinee. These girls are scholars of the game and they put up an exhibition that is amusing as well as thrilling. Thursday evening the Krajiceks, winners of the rag in the Inter-City league, and also the class C cham pions, were banqueted by their back er. The directors of the , Omaha Amateur Base Ball association and otherInvited guests helped the Kraji ceks to take care of their sumptuous repast. Apparently the only regretta ble feature of the evening's entertain ment was that the Krajiceks could not win a pennant every week. Holding Tournaments. Tournaments in wholesale gobs are now on the menu in Nebraska and Iowa, where base ball is the chief recreation, and the salaried ginks, semi-pros and amateurs with nothing to do but pose as fashion plates, are taking advantage of said tourna ments. Quite a number were out in the sticks last week picking up the jingles for playing with country town teams that wanted to fortify them selves so as to be in a position to meet the opposition, and quite a few are billed for three squares and a side dish of ten ringers or more this week, ' Maybe There's Some Sentiment in Ball After All; Ask Hitt When Roy Hitt gets back in shape he can be depended on to work to the limit for the Vernon ball club. He figures he has a debt to pay to Prexy Ed Maier, but adds that he fears he'll never be able to show his gratitude. The reason? Here it is as Hitt him self gives it: , "The night I was operated on' in San Francisco a wire was received from President Maier telling them to spare no expense. When I got up, a bunch of receipted bills was handed me all paid by Mr. Maier. They amounted to over $700, and my salary has gone on all the time I have been out. And I don't for get that when I was ill he wired up saying he would make the trip north if there was anything he could do." Maybe there's some sentiment in base ball after all. Hitt has been with the Vernon club since it was organized. It looks as if his serv ices had been appreciated,. Jimmy Kane Shows Brandeis Five Some New Floor Stunts V : The Brandeis basket ball team, which won the championship of Omaha last year and competed in the national tournament at Chicago, is already practicing for the approach ing season. By making the extremely early start the Brandeis lads are stealing a march on their opponents. Jimmy Kane, former Western league player and one of the best professional bas ket ball players in the game, is giving the Brandeis boys some pointers on the way the pros play the game back in Pennsylvania. Jimmy is showing the locals some stunts that never have been seen in this part of the country. Despite the fact that Dutch Platz and Mark Hughes will not be on the squad, the department store five ex pects to repeat. Some new players, who come highly touted, have been added to the lineup. V Jake Isaacson will again manage the quintet. I Anderson Goes to . Big St, Louis Swim Adolph (Swede) Anderson, crack Omaha swimmer, has gone to St. Louis where, tomorrow, tie competes in the annual river swim, held under the auspices of the Missouri Athletic club. Anderson will represent the new Omaha Athletic club, and carries the distinction of being the first person to ever wear the colors of the local club in a competitive event. "Swede" has been training faith fully for the event, under instruction of Pete Wendall, who was formerly swimming instructor of the Central Young Men's Christian association of Chicago, and he believes he will be able to finish among the winners.

HIGH GRID CRACKS HEARSIREN CALL Intense Rivalry Expeoted to Lend Excitement in Scrap For State Championship. SOME CHANGES IN RULES By KARL LEE. v The Welcome call of foot ball has sounded once again. Spring and sum mer have passed and the first day of chill the glad weather of the grid ironapproaches. Autumn, with its pigskin stars wilt soon be in the field. Nebraska high schools will - more than welcome the game this year. The intense rivalry existing among the leading teams at the close of the last season only serve to show in a de gree what state competition will amount to this year. Three or four teams that have been sniffers in the last three seasons are coming into the field with well-balanced, well-coached aggregations that will contest strong ly such leaders as Beatrice, North Platte, Grand Island, Central High ; and Lincoln. Aurora, Gothenberg and Kearney are reported to have ma terial enough - to make any coach look forward to a particularly fine season. I ' .. Expect Another Dispute. For various reasons the state cham pionship this year will probably be disputed. The windup of the season last year gave North Platte and Lin coln equal contention for the title, while by a process of comparative scores Beatrice and Central High had just as good a claim except that they were disgraced perhaps by one de feat. Lincoln came through without a defeat and having defeated the prin cipal teams of the Missouri Valley without effort claimed the valley championship. An attempt has been made to or ganize a sectional foot ball league. The idea is to, schedule only such games as will definitely eliminate all but top contenders for the title. These teams would play games for the title on Thanksgiving dates. Grand Island is enthusiastic for the plan. The president of the Board of Education there, A. O. Abbott, an nounces that the school will enter into any plan that will bring about a speedy and fair determination of the honor. Grand Island suffered but one defeat last year and that was by Central High. North Platte, the counter contender for the 1915 title, voiced an opinion. Superintendent of Schools Wilson Tout of the city, who also acts as coach, stafed that it would be better to leave the organi zation of such a league until the close of the foot ball season or during the basket ball season. Most coaches of the state have not taken up head quarters yet and opinions will not be known unitl they return. The Omaha schools are thought to be in favor of the plan. The idea itself is a progressive one and would be well-liked all aroun9. Cook County (III.) the center of Chi cago high schools, entertains the most interesting football competition in the entire country because oi just such an organization, while the states of Indiana and California are also sponsors for identical leagues. Changes in Rules. The changes in rules, although not materially altering the style of play, give the referee increased powers of decision. Many of the argumentative difficulties which high school teams experienced in games of the last sea son have been cleared up. Three principal, systems of rules obtain. First Fouls behind the goal line are exhaustively defined. A foul of any sort behind the goal posts while the ball is free inevitably results in the awarding of a touchdown by the referee to the offended side. If the foul is committed while the ball is in the air a safety is awarded the attack ing side. ' The referee shall also have jurisdiction over all roughing or foul ing on the line. . Under no circum stances, the new rules say, shall a player lock his arms or hands at any time or any place in the game. Vicious striking on the face with the heel of the hand is also termed ."unnecessary roughness" and deserving of a pen alty as such. On Free Balls. Second A free ball or a ball out of bounds is definitely defined. A ball that crosses the goal linle on the kickoff but either before Or after touching the ground also crosses either side line extended, the ball is a free one. If recovered by the de fensive side it is a touchback; if re covered by the kicking ' side it is a touchdown. Other rules pertaining to this section are: 1. If on the kickoff or on a free kick the ball goes into the stand or into the crowd behind the goal line it shall be a touchback. 2. If on a block kick the ball goes into the stand or into the crowd be hind the goal line it shall be a safety. i. If the ball is passed backward and goes into the crowd behind the goal line it shall be a safety. 4. If a blocked kick bounds over a side line fence the ball belongs to the blocking side at the point where the ball crossed the side lines. Third Formations come in for a bit of legalizing. It will be entirely proper for the quarterback to nose up to the Very shirt of his center if he sees fit. In receiving a forward pass, however, it is required that he drop back at least a vard from the line of scrimmage. A guard or tackle may carry the ball or form interference on a forward pass formation provided he has traveled at least five yards after being dropped back that distance from the line of scrimmage. The guards or center may run with the ball if re ceived from a second man provided they are eligible to take the pass by being at the time on the end of the line. . Kid Brother Will , Succeed Smith in Left Next Season Despite the fact the Chicago Cubs have purchased Earl Smith, Smith will continue to be the name of the left fielder for the Omaha, club. But it will be Floyd Smith, not Earl Smith. Floyd Smith is Earl's kid brother. He has been with the Rourkes for three weeks now and Marty Krug has been watching him carefully dur ing the practices, although he hasn't played him because of the close pen nant race. Marty has about come to the con clusion that Floyd is going to make good. He's only 20 years old and he's far from a finished player as - yet. But he seems to have the goods, and Krug thinks he'll be fully capable of filling his illustrious brother's shoes. Rourke Predicts Victory r , ' For Both Boston Clubs That both Boston clubs will re turn victorious in the major league pennant races is the opinion of Pa Rourke, owner of the Omaha club. Pa believes the Red Sox will con tinue to hold their lead down the home stretch, because Carrigan's hurling staff is the class of the league and his club is a well balanced or- fianization. In the National, he be ieves the Braves will beat out Brook lyn, because the Robins have a couple of weak spots which result in defeats on many occasions when closely con tested games are being played. Speaker Point Better. Trla Speaker, preset leader of Ihe major leasue wallnpera, flnlatiad last aeaaon with a battlnt average of ,aji and tied with Pournler of Chicago for third place among American leasue balamen, . OMAHA MAY PLAY WNNERSJN A. A. Seven-Game Pott Season Se ries With American Asso ciation Champs. PLAY DURING AK-SAR-BEN The Omaha base ball club, provid ing it wins the Western league pen nant, may play the winners of the American Association race in a -postseason series in Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben week. Negotiations for this "little world's series'' sre on now. The stunt was suggested last spring by the Ak-Sar-Ben entertainment committee. .The suggestion was that the pennant winners of the two leagues, no matter what club it might be, play a seven-game series during Ak-Sar-Ben, starting on a Tuesday and finishing up with a double-headed Sunday. This series, it was believed, would bring many people into Omaha and thus greatly swell the number of Ak-Sar-Ben visitors. The committee sug gested it would put up a purse for the athletes to play for. Now that Omaha looks like the pennant winner, the plans carries ad ditional attractiveness because it is only natural that Nehraskans would be more interested in seeing Omaha battle the A. A. champs than Denver or Wichita, for instance. , Omaha Stands Chance. The series should provide sonic in teresting base ball, too. The Ameri can Association is not so much faster than the Western, and there are many fans who have seen both Omaha and the A. A. clubs play, that aver Omaha rduld return triumphant in just such series. At the present time Indianapolis looks like the winner of the American Association rag. This would make the post-season conflicts still more at tractive,, because Jack Hendricks, manager of the Hoosiers, is a former Western leaguer, has a host of friends in Omaha and is well liked here. Coach Mulligan Enters Nebraska Medical School Harold Mulligan, coach at the Cen tral high school, has entered the Ne braska College of Medicine and in tends to learn to be a physician. As a result Mulligan will not teach any classes at Central high as he did last year, but will confine his instructor ship to that of athletics.
