Ta Rourke's cle luxe athletes pounced on the lowly Links again yesterday and made it three out of four on the series, with.. a 6 to 2 vic tory that pleased the Sabbath cus tomers immensely. One gf the largest Sunday crowds of the season was headed for the park when rain hit the city, and Pa was gyped out of about $1,500 in three minutes. - As it was, 2,000 persons took a chance on the showers and saw a nifty combat. The Kourkes got away to a two run lead in the opening stanza. Joe iiurg, the first man up, cracked a single to center and'Marty Kruz fol lowed with a bracing double to left that counted Toe. After Ihompson flew out and Smith grounded to his namesake, Bradley rapped a single to center, scoring Warty. Brottcm, Woodruff and Merz went down in a row in the second, but the head of the batting order repeated its first innuis performance in the third ' the only difference being they scored three runs this time. Smith Slaps Triple. Burg aglin started the festivities by singling to center. Krug switched tactics and sacrificed. Ihompson de livered a siiiKle to right, scoring Burg, and Earl Smith sent Shag scooting home with a triple to center. Earl scored on a wild pitch. The Rourkes marked un two hits in the fourth, but couldn't score. The two safeties scared Ducky Holmes, though, and he chased East to the sliower.auU brought out Reed. Reed got along all right until the seventh, when Earl Smith tried to kill Griffin with a blow, Bradley sacri ficed and Schick singled for one tally. The Links could do little with the brand, of curving dished out by Otto Merz. Only in the sixth could they bunch hits sufficiently to score. In that stanza Carlisle singled to center and scored on Bavless triple. Bay- less counted .on Lober's single to rip it. ' - Today Sioux City comes for a single game, winding up the long series .at home. It will be ladies day; Soldier Boys of Company B To Give Athletic Carnival Soldier bovs are going to stage four boxing bouts and two wrestling matches at Camp Hamilton, the gov inciit reservation, at the east end of the Union Pacific bridge the -after noon of Mav oU. The classic clash will be between Guy Buckles of Omaha, the champion of the regiments at the Mexican bor der, and Jack Thomas, exchampion of the, Panama canal zone. The men will travel ten rounds, if a wallop doesn't cut the frav a bit shorter. Thomas says that in the hey-day of his fistic career he met Peter Jackson. He is sure he can stpp Buckles. 1 lie Omaha boy is just as confident that 'Jie can win from the Panama pug. Al Greenwood, former lightweight champion of England, who has been living in Omaha, will cross gloves in a six-round go with Bat Garrison of Omaha. , Two preliminary bouts bjtween militiamen .will complete the-toxing program. ! ' John Filler, wrestling champion of the Fourth Nebraska, will tangle with joe Worton of 'Omaha in a finish tussle. There will be one other wrestling bout. Sergeant John A. Cotter and Pri vate C. W. "Roberts are promoting the affair. The proceeds will go to the, camp benefit fund. "Western League to Finish Out Season, Zehrung Says "The Western league will complete its schedule unless conditions now un- nreoeen arise. I have received no in timation from any club owner in the league of a desire to quit. In these words F. C. Zehrung. presi dent of the Western league, disposes Df the tumor that adverse conditions will make an abandonment of the eague imperative by midsummer at :he latest. Mr. Zehrung is free to confess that the start of the season has not been auspicious, but he at tributes the lack of attendance to bad weather and not to a general lack of interest because of the war. "In the first three weeks of play we did not have one good base ball dav," he said. "We cannot expect people to go to base ball games until we have base ball weather. The club owners appreciate this fact and none of them lias expressed anything but .confidence in the future. "Of course we do not know what the summer may bring forth. It may be that adverse conditions may cause us to take drastic action, but for the present we are satisfied." Cause of Despondency.

Umpires; Clneea and Owetuh (Correspondence of Th Associated Press.) Havre, May 4. The work of the Belgian Hying corps has been far more important than could be sup. posed from the limited publicity that has heen triven tn it. Belgian aviators have participated in a great many of the combined bombing expeditions of the allied fly. in BT corps and have specialized in night bombardments, A correspond ent of the Associated Tress has just learned of one of these exploits, dat ing months back, that seems not to have been told. A Belgian airplane, piloted by Ad jutanf Jenatty, brother of the auto mobile racer, with Lieutenant Rolin as observer, took the air above the German lines. Rolin was lookine for comrades in the air when he spied passing under him in a ray of moon ngnt a machine that he recognized as a licrnian. Jt was followed by second and a third. , Follow German to Camp. There are the Germans." he said to Jenatzv. . Let us follow them." The Belgian machine followed the German flotilla until it arrived above the aviation camp of Ghistelles. The Ucrman machines began to descend in long spirals. Jenatry and Rolin fo lowed them. They saw the German pilots making luminous signals, t& wnicn a searchlight trom the aviation camp responded. Then the whole camp was lighted up; sheds, landing ground, guiding searchlights were all well in view. One German machine landed, when tne neid was plunged again into ob scurity, to be lighted mi aorain an in. stant later, to darken again after each landed. The three German machines had reached the ground, and in their turn Jenatzy and Rolin cut off the gasoline supply from their motor, de cided to take the big risk. Lieutcn- and Kolm repeated with an electric lamp and the signals that he had just seen the Germans- give. The search lights below responded. Drop Bomba Into Crowd. Jenatzv and Rolin saw below i crowd of helpers and soldiers sur rounding the three machines that had already landed. - Diving down full into the glare of the lights that had Deen provided tor them in the sup position that ihev were Germans they plunged straight over the sheds at a feeble height, releasing the four Domns tney Had aboard, f-our for midable explosions shook their ma chine as if it were buffeted bv mitrhtv waves, four immense flames shot into the air, followed by a thick, white smoke, under cover of which the Bel gians turned right about, opening with their machine guns upon the dis mayed soldiers and mechanics of the camp as they passed over the field. The lights went out, the anti-aircraft guns Struck up, machine guns searched the air, but the two Belgians were already out of range, laughing heartily at their "swaflze," the name that is given in Brussels to a first rate joke. Japanese and American Society Is Americanized (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Tokio, April 28. The new so ciety of Japanese and Americans at Tokio has"been completely organized under the natne of "The 'America Japan Society," and held its inaugu ral dinner on Mav 11. The purpose of the organization as set forth in the constitution ist "The promoting of friendly relations between Japan and the United States and the diffusion among th Japanese people of a more a curate knowledge of the people of the United States, their aims, ideals, arts, science, industries and economic conditions." The post orhonorary president will be held by the resident American am bassador to Japan. Viscount Kcntaro Kancko was elected president. The honorary vice presidents include Dr. Jokichi Takimine of New York and Lindsay Russtll, president of the Japan society of New York. The executive committee is composed of twenty represenative Japanese and Americans. . -Mr. Russell was present at the meeting which adopted the constitu tion and elected the officers and made an interesting speech concerning the workings of the New York society. He said that there was a fine oppor tunity for co-operation between the organizations of New York and Tokio. May 11 was fixed as the date of the Tokio banquet, because it was the day set for a "made-injjapan" ban quet at the University of Missouri in the Kansas Newsaper Week. , NEW RUSS CABINET IS NOW IN CHARGE: Premier Lvoff Explains-to the People of ttie United States asons for Coalition Organization. Roa Petrograd, May 18. (Via London.) The formation of a cabinet in which six1 socialists are included has been completed. After the reypption into the tabinet of socialist representatives of the council of deputies, Premier Prince Lvoff received a representative of the Associated Press and authorized him to transmit to America an expression of the premier's confidence in the future. Statement of Premier. j Premier Lvoff said: N "The most serious crisis in the mod ern history of Russia has hcen-satis-factorily settled and conditions al ready show marked symptoms of im provement. It is my impression that the new coalition cabinet will receive the support of. alt reasonable Rus sian citizens. We have for the first time the prospect of a government which will combine both moral au thority and material power. "Most of the difficulties of my first revolutionary cabinet arose from the fact that in all questions I and my colleagues were obliged to rely solely upon moral- suasion. There was no actual governmental power with material force, such as you ha.ve in America and in the other demccratia countries of the world. After two months' experiment we discovered that moral influence was sufficient weapon with a vast ma jority of reasonable Russian citizens who desired tranquility, but unluckily both in the civilian population and tne armv there were individuals and small groups who actively aimed at anarchy, and repudiated all forms of discipline. Material Force Needed. "It became nlain that the govern ment could not remedy this condition without material force and this force could only be obtained if representa tives of the socialist and allied left narties entered the government and agreed to support it unshrinkingly in a policy of combined freedom and or der. If this solution! had proven un reachable we were threatened with general anarchy, followed by a na tional disillusion, with the revolution and a reactionary counter revolution ary movement as the final stage, This normal course of unsuccess- f,,l raunlnlinna 1,aa I tin,, hn avoided as the result of ihe agreement between the temporary government and the council of deputies. The council has undertaken to support the government against anarchy and dis order and further to work for the restoring of discipline to the army, naturally on condition, whtch we granted, that the army will be de mocratized. 'My hope is that when the present enemies of national tranquility see that not only the so-called bourgeois, but also the workmen and the social ists themselves, stand for the restora tion of order, they will, without com polling us to take action, abandon their present anarchial methods, which it continued would result in the ruin of Russia. The program of policies which we have agreed upon with our new colleagues contains great concessions to the socialists, but these concessions were an indispen sable condition of socialist collabo ration in the government. in the future democratic Russia must not only enjoy freedom, but must take on itself the rcsnonsibilitv of defending its freedom. Personally, 1 do not doubt our democracy j fit ness for higher governmental work. During the negotiations which led to a settlement the representatives of the council of deputies showed that they thoroughly understood the dan gers threatening Russia and were de termined to do everything possible to save the country from anarchy, defeat and dissolution."

' neatk the Surface of Water. ' The submarine,, being a meclunieal fish, is just as catchable in nets as a shad. Great Britain has been using such nets with notable success. , They make, the lane across Dover straits, through which millions ' of men and millions of tons of munitions have been safely ferried. They are laid , across roadstead and harbor en trances, and in all sorts of places throughout the "danger lone." , ' We arc already establishing them. The submarine that gets caught in them usually remains. Off the coast of Britain one may see long strings ' of floats with the fast motorboats running constantly up and down the lines. If a float disappears the first boat noting the fact circles around the spot with its Runs trained and ready. If the submarine comes up it is instantly sunk. If not, because en tangled, the watcher grimly waits five -' days to make certain that no life re- -mains and then tells a destroyer, which raises the victim and tows it to port. But even more dramatic Is subma- , rine catching by a couple of motor boats, a net and art airplane working together. The airplane assumes the role of a hawk and sees the sub merged submarine as a hawk sees a fish, or else if the U-boat is too deeply submerged, recognizes the line of reg ular waves which the latter always makes on the surface. A puff of black smoke from the airplane or a wireless signal warns the boats,, which rush ahead of the submarine and spread the net across its coming track. The victim's captain, seeing noth ing, steering by compass, gpes blindly . on, only to find suddenly that some thing is wrong. The bow of his boat wants to go down, its rudders refuse to obey the helm : its screws may stop , turning. He does not know what the matter is, down there in the dark. He, may, -shudderingly suspect the great net in which he is enmeStie'd. If he cannot move he knows that his buoy ancy is only due to what air there is in his air tanks, tit must-go up or else ' go down and stay -there., Human na ture prevails and he goes up for day light and then the shots ring out And -after that nothinsr but some bubbles and a long slick of oil on the restless sea. , Last summer the- British admiralty said that 127 German U-boats had been netted the number since then s is not announced.
