ROURKES TANGLE
WITH CDBS TODAY
Sollie Zeider, Pickles Dilhoefer
and Other Stars With
Invaders.
SMITH COMES TO TOWN
' The 1917 Rourkes will be seen in
' action against real opponents for the
first time this year today. They bat
tie the Chicago Cubs second team at
; ; Rourke park this afternoon at 3
o'clock.
if The Cubs scrubs have almost as
: formidable a lineup as the first team
and several of the players will be
.'j regulars -when the two nines are
combined.
j The principal attraction with the
'I Cubs is Pickles Dilhoefer, the young
M catcher secured from Milwaukee. Dil
hoefer is heralded as a second Ray
Schalk. He is about the same build
and acts very similarly to the White
Sox star. ,
Rollie Zeider, veteran of many cam
paigns, is another member of the sec
onds. Nick Carter, hurler, who came
to the Cubs last fall after a sensa
tional year at Indianapolis, is an
other. Hunter, who plays short, was
with the Giants and Cubs all last
year.
Rex Dawson, former Lincoln pitch
er, is slated to be a regular with the
Cubs this season. Tom Seaton, for
mer Philly and Federal star, is a
member of the Cubs hurlers who will
be here this afternoon.
And, last, but not least, Earl Smith,
star Rourke gardener last season,
breezes into town today with the
Windy City outfit. Earl will be
dropped here and take up an Omaha
uniform after today's fray. ,.- f

Pesek Followers
.Win Big Sum When
i. Referee Awards Go
In the neighborhood of $2,000
changed hands Wednesday night at
Shelton, Neb., on a wrestling match
between Tim Londos and John Pesek.
After thirty-seven minutes of wrest
ling, Londos was disqualified, the ref
eree charging Londos was using a
strangle hold. Londos insists he had
Pesek in a head chancery and bar
lock and that the strangle hold was
an .hallucination of the referee, who,
he charges, was a Pesek man.
Londos was backed to the sum of
Cl,100Jy friends. In addition a num
ber of Grand Island sportsmen
dropped big chunks which, it is be
lieved, raised the total lost to $2,000.
A switch was made in the referee
at the last moment. The referee orig
inally decided upon was to be an out
sider. Just before Londos and Pesek
dimbed into the rooes Martin Slat-
tery, Pesek's manager, refused to ac
cept the agreed-upon reieree ana de
manded a local man.
When Slatterv made this move.
Chris Jordan, who went out to Shel
ton trom umana witn ionnos, inea
to get Londos to call off the match,
hur lira said he was willing to take
a chance. Then Jordan tried to get
all bets declared off, but the Shelton
ites refused. ,
After the disqualification of Lon
dos, Slattery said Pesek would wres
tle Londos again in Omaha or any
other place. It is probable efforts
will be made to bring them together
again.

Johnny Dennison
Lands Quartet of
New Star Athletes
'johnny Dennison, manager of the
new Melady Bros., team of the
Greater Omaha league, announced
five new signed contracts yesterday.
They are Chugs Ryan, shortstop; Os
car Grant, pitcher; Phil Tracy, third
baseman; Ernie Rushenberg, catcher;
Johnny Shieldscatcher.
The acouisition of Chugs Ryan
means probably that Ed Minikus will
be shifted to second. Ryan was the
shortstopper for the Armours last
year and was regarded as one of the
best hallway men tn umana. Mini
kus and Rvan should make a great
combination around the keystone
sack.
Tracr was with the Gas Company
last year. He was a member of the
Luxus in 1915. Grant hurled for the
Castle Hotels in the Saturday league
last year and was some hurler. Grant
and Guy Holland will do the bulk of
the twirling for the' Meladys this
year, although Johnny is said to have
a third pitcher in mind. Rushenberg
is a Luxus veteran. Shields is a
graduate.of class B company, but
Dennison is Confident he is of class
A calibre. He believes Shields will
prove to be a winner.
Dennison's crew will play their
first practice game of the season Sun
day at Melady Meadow; Twenty
fourth and Vinton streets. The Town
sends will oppose them.
