OMAHA HAS FIELD
DAY WITH I0WAHS
Hammer Berger and Fleharty
for Twenty Hits and Run Up
Score of Nineteen to Five
on Des Moines.
Pa Rourke's 1917 de luxe athletes
had a field day at the expense of Jack I
LOtteys coon creekers yesterday aft
ernoon and captured the fourth game
of the series from Des Moines, 19 to
5. The victory made it three out of
four from the league leaders.
Krug's men started the scoring in
the opening stanza and kept it up
during the rest of the game. They
made at least one run and one hit in
every inning except the fifth, when
Fleharty did manage to mow down
three of our sterling wood choppers
before any damage was done.
Every athlete on the club except
liradley got at least one run and one
hit. Leuschen was in only one inning
and didn't get a bat. Earl Smith and
Morrie Schick were the heavy hitters.
Both collected four safe sats, includ
ing a double each. Smith had a mar
gin on Morrie as he was at bat only
live times while Morrie was up six.
Krug and Shaw garnered three
blows apiece, while Joe Burg and
Marty O'Toole manufactured a
couple.
Berger First Victim.
Joe Berger was the first victim of
the Rourke onslaught. Smith's
single, Cooney's sacrifice and a safety
by Krug netted one run in the first.
Berger disposed of Bradley and Shaw
and escaped fairly well in the first.
But the second stanza was his ruina
tion. Schick started the gala inning with
a double. Burg beat out a bunt and
Brokaw walked, choking the sacks.
Spahr committed an error which
scored Shick and allowed O'Toole to
sneak safely to first. Then Earl
Smith cleaned the loaded runway with
a double which bounced off the center
field wall.- That was the beginning.
Everybody took a wallop at the pill
and before the round was concluded
Berger had been chased to the show-1
er and Pat Fleharty summoned for
mound duty. Pat got his bumps, too,
during the remaining innings.
O'Toole Quiets Boosters.
While the Rourkes were hammer
ing the pill to all corners of the lot,
O'Toole kept the coon creekers quiet
with six scattered hits. He didn't
exert himself much so Des Moines
did score four runs off him.
Arnold Leuschen, the sandlot
rookie, was sent into the game in the
ninth to show his wares. He was
nicked for two hits and a run.
The Rourkes hike today for Joplin,
where they start a two-week's rad
trip.

Notes of the Fray
Bight bits in nine times up Is a pretty
good record. That'a what arl Smith did
the last two days.
If the Rourkes continue their gait on the
road trip they are likely to return at the
top of the ladder.
Schick, Burg, Brokaw and O'Toole batted
twice In the second Inning. Schick made
two bits In the one stanxa.
Cooney and Krug pulled off a snappy
double play on Hunter and Hartford, two
fast men, too, In the fifth.
Morrie Schick hacked up against ths
right field fence to make a running catch
of Spencer'a long drive in the aeventb.
Cass boosted the pill over the right field
fence for a home run In the fourth. He
scored Sweeney and Spahr ahead of him.
Spencer made a nice catch of a long drive
hy Shaw In the eighth. The ball looked as
though it would have hit the bull sign if
Spencer hadn't gathered it In.
Sweeney greeted Leuschen in ths ninth
with a single., Spahr followed wKh a
double. Leuschen then retired 8nlper Breen.
Cass and Meade In order, but Sweeney went
home on Breen's out.
Omaha fans finally saw a balk called yes
terday. When Smith stole second, while he
had the ball In his hand Fleharty got ex
cited and made a balk motion which let
Brokaw score from third. And Ump Shsn
non allowed It. for which the ump probably
wilt be presented with the iron cross.

ZEHRUNG RESIGNS
AS WESTERN HEAD
Base Ball Magnates May Elect
Ed Dickerson of Central
League to Vacancy;
Play Season Out.
St. Joseph, Mo., June 7. (Special
Telegram.) Resignation of Frank C.
Zehrung, president of the Western
league, was tendered shortly before
noon today at a meeting of Western
league magnates here and was
promptly accepted. While there has
been a suspicion that Tip O'Neill,
the former president, would again be
selected to head the league, a dark
horse candidate in the person of Ed
Dickerson, president of the Central
league, was sprung by some of the
magnates today, and it is possible that
he may be the compromise candidate
upon whom all will agree.
In tendering his resignation Zeh
rung expressed the hope that the
league will flourish and that it will
be able to right itself financially
Big Row at Noon.
There was a lively row at noon
over the six-youngster rule, Omaha
and Sioux City coming out flatly
against its enforcement and openly
stating that they would not abide by
it. Rourke and Hanlon took the po
sition that to insist upon this rule
was to give the fans a cheaper grade
of base ball.
The magnates seem to have no fear
as to continuance of schedule
throughout the season and belief was
expressed at the meeting that the
draft rule will not hit the league un
til late in September, too late to harm
it in any way.
All clubs were represented, Frank
Isbell holding proxies of Lincoln and
Des Moines in addition to voting for
his own club, Wichita.
Want O'Neill.
Holland and Isbell are known to
favor recall of Tip O'Neill, but may
agree to Dickerson late today.
The statement of the magnates
shows that with two exceptions all
clubs are losing money, but never
theless they are optimistic and ap
parently believe the game will still
pay with good weather.
A resolution was adopted authoriz
ing the league's president to fine any
player using the emery ball or any
variation thereof 9pu. A second of
fense carries a thirty days' suspension.
This rule becomes effective tomorrow.

Omaha's Labor Strike
Whir?
v v
Omaha is suffering today from a serious labor crisis. Something caused it. Someone is
responsible. Every citizen of Omaha has a direct personal interest m that responsi
bility Building operations are tied up. The earnings of hundreds of men are stopped. The
convenience of thousands is interfered with.
The future prosperity of the entire city is concerned. The future welfare of every wage
earner, union member or otherwise, of every home owner, of every clerk and
tradesman, and of every citizen is involved.
The RESULTS of this crisis affect YOU. Therefore, the CAUSE, the RESPONSIBIL
ITY the RIGHT and WRONG of it interests you. In order that you may judge of
these things, the Business Men's Association of Omaha proposes to tell you the
facts of the case.
The Business Men's Association is composed of the vast majority of the employers of
Omaha. Its members believe in the "open shop." That means that they believe in
working conditions which permit every man to earn an honest living, regardless
of whether or not he belongs to a particular race, a particular church or a particu
lar union. .
Members of the Business Men's Association believe in fair wages, wages advancing as
need be to meet the increasing cost of living.
The Business Men's Association does not believe in the "closed shop," which restricts
individual enterprise and opportunity by refusing work to men who are not mem
bers of some union. The Business Men's Association does not believe in boycotts,
sympathetic strikes, restriction of output and unreasonable demands that savor -of
persecution.
The present labor crisis is NOT a question of the continued existence of unions in
Omaha. It is only a question of whether these unions shall exceed their rightful
function by forcing despotic domination upon all employers and all workers.
Don't forget that.
The freedom of the EMPLOYE is at stake in this question no less than the freedom
of the employer the freedom of the EMPLOYE to work for whom he pleases
and under what conditions he pleases, or whether he may work at all.
A minority of the wage-earners of Omaha are union members. The present fight
against despotic use of union power is for the benefit of the majority outside the
union and for the benefit of all Omaha.
The story of the strike at it will be told in this newspaper from day to day interests
YOU. Watch for it!
