IN ANOTHER' WIN

Carl East.
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.
Despondency is often caused by in
digestion and constipation, and
quickly disappears when Chamberlain's
Tablets are taken. These tablets
strengthen the digestion and move the j
bowels. , '

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.

ciety of Japanese and Americans at

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

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."

NETS.ARE SET TO
CATCH SUBMARINES
i
German Divers Easily Bagged
as They Glide Along Be
. ' 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. ,
