FOUR TO THREE THE
St. Joseiih, Mo.. Sept. 23. (Special
Telegram.)--Those Drurrimers again
won from the league champs today
and once again extra innings were
necessary to turn the trick, the game
this time going eleven innings, or
nearly so, for only one was down
when the Drummers pushed the win
ning run through.
Once again, it was one of those
games which seemed to be won by the
Rourkes- in the early stages of the
contest, for they held the score 3 to 0
until the eighth inning, when the Hol
landers tied it in a knot and then won
out in the eleventh. .,
Recruit Does Well.
Whitey Kinneen, St. Joseph corner
lot recruit, essayed to pitch for the
Drummers and despite the fact that
the Rourkes gathered three runs off
his delivery, t did well. Sommers
batted for Kinneen in the eighth and
tlien succeeded him in the pitcher's
box and twirled a nice game for the
three innings in which he worked.
The Rourkes scored one in the first,
when F. Smith was safe on Otto Will
iams' error and went to second on this
same play. He took third on a wild
pitch and scored on a sacrifice fly by
Thompson.
Another in SeVenth. ' "
Another run came in the seventh,
when Kilduff singled and was forced
at second, North being safe at first.
Merz walked and Smith- likewise.
North scored on Irelan's sacrifice fly.
The third and final run for the
Rourkes came in the eighth. . Krueger
singled after one was down and For
sythe sent him to second with a nice
single to left Krueger scored on Kil
duff's sacrifice flv.
In that same inning, the Drummers
made it three all. Fusner walked,
Beers singled and Sommers, batting
for Kinneen. singled, scoring fusner.
Wright was safe on an error by Merz
and Beers scored on Utto Williams
sacrifice fly. Kirkham singled, scor
ing Wright ,
: Getting Tight.
The ninth and tenth went by with
out either side scoring, although both
teams got men as far as third base in
each of these innings
Then came that eleventh and with
it the winning of the game for the
Holland crew. McClelland beat out a
scratch hit and Fusner singled. Beers
' sacrificed, sending McClelland to third
and Fusner to second. Sommers
walked, filling the bases, then Wright
hot safely, scoring McClelland and the
game was over. - - -. ..
. The' Omaha line-up was again
switched considerably and one was
hardly able to recognize in this team
that which had won the pennant in
the Western league. In pite of this
the Rourkes played good ball tnd the
game was a tight little attair ail the
way. -
. Spike Shannon was ill and Johnny
Williams and Harry Krause acted as
umpires. Both got by nicely and both
were likewise the object of some good
natured jollying from the people in
the stands, of whom there most have
been at least 100. '"...,

Kansas Students
if Scoff at Coach's ;
Stories of Gloom
'Lawrence, Kan., Sept. 23. Despite
reports coming from the Jayhawker
camp here that all may not be well
with the University of Kansas foot
ball team this year, students and
coaches do not feel much gloom, and
are predicting fre'dy that the Missouri
Valley Conference wjjl have to reckon
strongly with the Kansans before the
honors for the season are finally
awarded. For, they point out, the
Jayhawktrs have gotten into the habit
of turning out strong teams and this
year they do not look for that an
cient tradition to be overthrown.
Coach.Chauncey Olcott and George
Clark, his new assistant, have a squad
of "K" men, although many of the
last season's team are on the border
as National Guardsmen; that should
fill capably any back-field and make
up a heavjr line. . Headed by Captain
Adrian Xmdsey, picked last year as
all-valley half by nearly all critics,
the ten veterans working out daily
on McCook field promise to make
thei' going hard for their opponents.
Olcott is in his 'second year and, it
is declared, should have his system
of play well worked out. That, per
haps more than anything else, may
mean the rapid construction of an
efficient scorintr machine.
1 he old men on the sauad. in ad
dition to Captain Lindsey, are Krost,
utuiic; ncatn, ena; rast, nau; JNeil-
sen, full; Peterson,r half; Reedy,
tackle; lodd; quarter; Tuble, guard;
and Wilson, end. Others expected
to make the varsity squad art Fiske,
half; Russell, quarter; Burton, tackle;
Miner, center; Lasletf, end; Pringle,
guard; Harte, tackle and Foster quar
ter. '
The schedule follows: September
30, Kansas Normals at Lawrence;
October 7, Illinois at Urbana; Oc
tober 14 Ames at Ames; October 21,
open; October 28, Kansas Aggies at
Lawrence; November 4, Oklahoma at
Lawrence; November 11, Washburn
at Topeka; November 18, Nebraska

ROURKE WILL LOSE
SEYENOF CHAMPS
Purchase!, 'Becalms' and Draft
Take Half of Pa Start
Into Faster Company.
MEANS A WIXTER OF WOBK
When the curtain was rung down
on the 191 Western league race Pa
Rourke, owner of the Omaha "club,
was confronted with something of a
task. Although his team had finished
in fourth place, the greedy Omaha
fans were not satisfied. They de
manded a winner.
. So last , winter Pa went "oul with
the firm intention, of assembling a
ball club that would prove a winner.
He combed the country from one end
of it to the other. He spent several
thousand dollars. And he gathered
the winner together.
j Ana now aiier nis year ui suites.,
fi Kourke is going 10 nave 10 n
all over again. For his 1916 cham
pionship nine has virtually been rid
dled by purchases and recalls by
clubs of higher classification.
Seven 'Will Be Missing.
Seven of the players who captured
the 1916 emblem for Rourkeville will
be missing when the roll is called
next spring. They are Earl Smith,
Ernie Krueger: Kewpie Kilduff, Lou
North, Shag Thompson, Marty
Q Toole and Bobby Marshall.
Of these seven players three Were
ourchased by National league clubs.
Smith has already gone to the Chi
cago Cubs. Krueger and Kilduff go
to the New York Giants. Lou North.
the property of the St. Louis Cardi
nals, has been recalled, as has Shag
Thompson by Connie Mack, to whom
the little outfielder belongs. Marty
O'Toole returns to Columbus in the
American association . and Bobby
Marshall goes back to St. Paul in
the same loop. "
Have Work Cut Out
A bunch of heavy shrapnel couldn't
have worked much greater havoc in
the Rourke ranks. Pa Rourke and
Marty Krug certainly have their work
cut out for them if they hope to fill
these seven vacant places with talent
of equal prowess. -
Of course, there is the chance that
some of these Rourkes will fail to
stick in the big show and will be re
turnedbut it isn't a safe chance to
bet on, in fact Pa himself doesn't be
lieve there's a chance at alt. .
. "Smith Making Good. "
Earl Smith is already making him
self solid in Chicago. Tinker isn't
working Earl every day, wisely giv
ing him an opportunity to watch the
play from the bench during half of
the games. As a result Earl will be
more fully capable of occupying a
garden regularly next year. , There
isn't one chance' in a hundred for
Earl to be sent back.'
Ernie Krueger, it is believed, is as
certain to deliver the goods on the
big time as Smithy.. Some Omaha
fans aver Kewpie Kilduff needs more
seasoning and will probably be re
turned to Omaha next spring, but
Rourke is not so sanguine. "Kilduff
is just the scrappy kind of athlete
McGraw likes," declares Rourke, "and
I don't think there's a chance for him
to be sent back." -i
Merely Loaned to Pa.
Thompson and North were merely
loaned to Rourke by Mack and Hug
gins, respectively, as. were O'Toole by
Columbus and Marshall by St.- Paul.
Thus Rourke has got to : find two
catchers, two pitchers, two infielders
and one or two outfielders.' Quite a
task, fans, quite a task.
At that Rourke's problem is less
dffficult next year than this year.
This year Pa had to build a team'
around Krug and Forsythe. Next
year he'll have Forsythe and Floyd
Smith in the outfield, Miller, Krug,
Irelan and Burg in the infield, Cecil
Thompson, Harry Krause and Otto
Merz for moundsmen. A little easier
than this, year, but a mighty difficult
one for all that. - -

Did You Ever Hear
Cozette McManigle Brannon Holds that Distinction
Jonesboro, Ark., Sept. 23. There is
located in this town the only college
in the country having a woman for. a
full-fledged foot ball coach. She is
Mrs. Earl W. Brannon, wife of the
coach of the Jonesboro Agricultural
college foot ball team. Mrs. Brannon
had been assisting her husband, but
this year she will coach a team of her
own. She will have full charge of the
Aggie Preps' team and will be the
sole guide and board of . strategy of
the eleven, ' ' 1
Here is what her husband says of
her: "She 'broke in' as a scout, when
I sent her to scout some formation of
prospective- rivals in their, early sea
son games.- She showed me that she
knew "inside foot ball as well as any
of my assistants.
"Last season sne neipea to pian our
offense and defense for every game,
and showed an uncanny, ability in
picking the weak places in formations,
shifts and plays. i
"This year she will have a regular
assistant who will teach her players'
the rudiments of the game, such as
blocking, tackling, charging, passing,
punting and kicking. She will contrib-'
ute chalk talk explanations to this "
work, besides planning and organizing
the team play. .
"She will have complete charge of
the preparation of her team for the
seven games wnicn are upon tne
schedule.
"During the last season, which was
a very fortunate one for the Aggies,
Mrs. Brannon was a fulfledged mem
ber of the board of strategy. Her in
sight into the possibilities which de
veloped durihg the season was by far
the keenesf-of any of ,my assistants.
"She appeared on the field regularly
and helped direct the practice. It was
impossible, ot course, lor. ner to dem
onstrate the rudiments pf the game,
but she was very adept in explaining
clearly the fundamentals-as well as
the intricate points.": 1 i
PLAN FIELD DAY

Murphys, Class B Winners
Mix in Feature Event.
TO BE HELD KEXT SUfJD
Afield day ipr members of
Omaha Amateur Base Ball asso
tion for next Sunday is a plait on
among persons interested in the san
lot game in Omaha, If Rourke park
can be procured next . Sunday the
event will be held.
' A base ball field day. would be an
innovation in Omaha. Such events
have been held in other cities smd
have proved popular. Fungo hitting,
bunting, long distance throwing, acr
curate throwing, circling the bases,
et cetera, make up the list of events
for a field day program.
1 The plan is to hold distinct events
for each class, A, B and C, into which
the Omaha Amateur association is
divided.
As a feature attraction of the day
it is proposed to stage a ball game
between the Armours, the class A
champions of Omaha, and the Mur
phys, the class B champs. The Mur
phys are anxious to battle the class
A champs. They believe they have
the better team. The Armours say
they are willing to, take a chance with
the Murphys.
Prizes would be put up for the win
ners of the various events and a purse
put up for the ball game.
It is believed the field day would be
a fitting culmination to the most
prosperous season the Omaha Ama
teur Base Ball association has yet
enjoyed. ,

rous sea at Rourke park thifj after-

fessional, nine. , . ' ,
For Jimmy has collected art aggre
gation of sluggers. None other tj)an
Gus Williams leads the list. Gus, be
it known, is some long distance hitter.
He used to make home runs off of
American league pitching. He would
still be making the circuit clouts in
the big show if he didn't have the
unfortunate faculty of muffing fly
balls.
Gus always has been a .300 hitter.
This year he played with the Nash
ville team, which won the Southern
league pennant and he lost many a
ball by dropping it over the wall. Gus
promises to put one over today just
for old-time's sake.
Kane himself is also something of
a slugger and has been known to clout
'em over the fence. Ed Spellman,
who will do the catching, is another
chap who likes to make long distance
drives.
Synek on Second.
Frank Syntk, who will play second,
was good enough to help Dennison
win a pennant in the Texas-Oklahoma
league, so that bids more trou
ble for Olso. Joe Burg will play third
and Frank Butler will play short for
the All-Stars, while Ben Hams and
Guv Hoffman will occupy the out
field in company with Williams. Cecil
Thomosnii will do the hurling.
So if Morrie wants to maintain his
record he'hVIiave to put a lot of stuff
on the ball or Kane's aggregation of
hitsmiths will lost it for him. .
The game will be played at Rourke
park this afternoon and will start at
3 o clock.

BACKFIELD LACKS BEEF
By JAMES E. LAWRENCE.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept.23. (Special.)
With the greatest wealth pf ma
terial in the history of the University
of Nebraska, Cornhusker foot ball ad
herents are realizing for the first
time that Dr, E. J. Stewart, Nebras
ka's new coach, is up against a man
sized job in giving Nebraska another
all victorious season. ,
The "first week of actual scrimmage
in the Husker camp was unsatisfac
tory from all angles. It revealed for .
the first time what a loss the Husk
ers suffered in Chamberlain, Ruther
ford and Abbott. It also revealed
that Nebraska has no one to . take
their places, even in a small way.

ranged a game with the St. Louis
champions to be. v "
But they arived early today un

even taken the time to inquire whether

So they went without a game today
and will be compelled to battle the
lowly Arcades, who are out of the
championship running her, tomorrow
afternoon, - '' i r.v----.
The Murphys-Arcade game will be
played at the fair ground park at 1:15

won the first game today. If it wins
again tomorrow it will, clinch the pen

Only Six Veterans
Back at Oklahoma
Norman, Okl., Sept: ' 23. Bennie
Owen, coach at the Oklahoma univer
sity, is facing the problem of building
a foot ball machine this season with
only six veterans from the 1915 un-
defeated team in the going. But the
former Kansair is pounding along on
the Sooner field here and optimisti
cally says: , l
"Chances ..are ' good for a winning
team. Perhaps it won't be all-victorious.
It wil be as heavy as the ordi-x
nary Oklahoma team." j i
Eight of last year's veterans did
not return to scnooi this year and
among them was Parke Geyer, full
back, whose ability as a forward
passer made him feared in every game
in which he played. Homer Mont
gomery, end, has returned, however,
and Owen undoubtedly will attempt to
build the team around him. Other
letter men are Frank McCain, half
back; Moutford Johnson, quarter and
half; Jesse Fields,-end; Oliver Hott,
tackle, and William Hott, guard. The
Oklahoma schedule is:
