Fellow players looked to see the bat fly' in a half dozen pieces if he landed on the ball, but it didn't. In stead Kircher got a hit with it and Kircher announced he had a "find." He made a bet he would get a hit a game for three games with his boy't "King of the Field." He more than made good, and he got four htj in five times up in the first game in which he used the dinky. But this is no advertisement for this brand of bat. Before the week ended it broke square off and- Kir cher' s jinx breaker was no more, . , l Broken At Last OMAHA.1 AH. R. rf. .. i 4 B 4 0 ! f.

"BUGS" GROVER PROVES TOO MUCH FOR KRUG'S CREW Refuses to AIJow a Hit After Third Inning and Sioux City Walks Home With Vic tory, Three to One. The baje and despicable Sioux brought Omaha's winning streak of nine consecutive games to an abrupt halt yesterday afternoon and the Rourke's home-coming was the occa sion for ignominous defeat. The bad news read 3 to 1. "Bugs" Grover, once a member of the Rourke clan, is largely responsible for the sad tidings. After theUhird stanza "Bugs" refused to allow a single Rourke to connect safely. He subdued our heroes in almost regular order during the last six innings. The one run chalked up by Krug's men was chalked up in the third. Tony Brottem let himself get hit in the slats byva slow ball. After Cecil fanned, Shag Thompson vindicated the family name by bouncing a doubje elf the right field fence, Brottem trotted home on the blow. Score in Second. Sioux City marked up one tally in the second. Connolly beat out an in field hit and swiped second, scoring a moment later on Willie Lee Crosby's bingle to right. Gilmorc's infield hit, Holly's sacri fice and Rader's safety to center counted a second run for the enemy in the third. One more was added by the Indians in the fifth. Grover beat out an in field hit and Gilmore sacrificed him to second. Holly reefed a single into center, scoring "Bugs." Thompson la Victim. Cecil Thompson was the victim. He hurled fair ball, but at the three inter vals mentioned the Sioux ganged hits for runs. Merz hurled the last inning and was touched for two knocks, but a fast double play engineered by Joe Burg cut off potential Sioux tallies. Omaha started after Grover hard in the first three innings and made four hits. Some bad breaks prevented more than the one score. But after the third Grover got warmed up and the hbme boys could do nothing with him. A double-header will be played to. day.The first game starts at 2 o'clock.

(Duesenberg) CADDOCK TO QUIT WRESTLjMAWHILE Iowa GrappIer Xets Physical Condition Run Down and x Must Rest for Sev , eral Months. Earl Caddock, claimant to the heavyweight championship of the world, will desert the wrestling games for the next few months. Caddock's physical- condition has run down from the over burden of so many matches and Earl has decided to forsake the bone-crushing pastime until he has recuperated completely. It is probable Caddock will remain on his Anita, la., farm most of his rest ing period, but he also will spend several weeks in the mountains. dkddock now is far from the per fect speciman he was when he de feated Joe Stecher in Omaha April 9. His activity has caused a general de cline in hijs physical makeup. Since trimming Stecher in April Caddock has engaged in a dozen matches, six to the month. As a result he has not given his body an opportunity to build up. Physicians assert Caddock loses much more strength in the ring than the ordinary wrestler, because prac tically all of His opponents have out weighted bim twenty or thirty pounds. The handicap in poundage forces Earl to strain himself more than would a man of equal weight. Jess Willard Now Owns Buffalo Bill Wild West A telegram was received from Jess Willard at Holyoke, Mass., to the ef fect that he has purchased for $105,- 000 the Buffalo Bill show from Edward Arlington, who was its sole owner. Willard will continue the show under his own management. The telegram is as (pllows. "Arlington sells Jess Willard syndi cate Buffalo Bill show for $105,000. Edward Arlington, who was the sole owner of the entire Buffalo Bill show, sold the complete outfit, including two trains of cars, 200 horses and all equip ment, to Roy O. Archer, private secre tary to Jess Willard. heavyweight champion, who will operate the show under his own management, starting at Holyoke. Wally Schang Shaves Brush Which Mates Called a Jinx Catcher Wally Schang of the Ath letics finally yielded to the demands of his team mates and shaved off his mustache. The other players said the hirsute adornment was a jinx. Omaha to Be Thomas Last Race; To Join Uncle Sam's Aviation Corps i The Omaha classic, July 4, may be the last speedway race in which Joe Thomas, captain of the Mercer team, Will participate. For probably before another month drops into the 'abyss of time Thomas will be fighting bat tleSjin the air for Uncle Sam instead of pursuing fame and fortune on the gasoline circuit. Thomas is a birdman of a year and a half's experience. Aviation was his first love. He was an exceptionally skillful pilot and gave promise of be coniing one of the most celebrated aviators America ever turned out be fore he abandoned this field of en deavor for automobile racing. . Joe quit flying because of the wishes of his mother, who feared for herboy when he was in the air. Whether or not he selected a safer occupation in motor racing probably would be a matter of dispute for most persons. , Joe has notified the government that he is ready to steer one of Uncle Sam's flying machines any time he is called and it is expected he wilt be summoned within the next few days. Thomas made his debut as a race driver in 1911, placing third with a stock Mercer in the inter-City road race at Tacoma. The following sea son he won two road events, his most notable achievement being his tri umphant drive of 75ffmiles from Seat tle to Vancouver and return. In 1913, Joe accepted a position as median? ician on the Mercer fac,ory team, pumping oil for Eddie Pullon in 1914 and 1915. He was promoted to driver last spring and proved worthy of the trust that had been placed in him, finishing second in the Corona boulevard race. Thomas also drove at Sheephead Bay last fall, but his car failed to finish inside the money. Thomas suffered an almost fatal ac cident at Chicago. He was leading the race by a mile and a half at the Younger Generation Who Will Test Jheir Veterans In Omaha Speedway Derby July 4 OMAR TOFT, ' (Omar Special) IRAL (Hudson) PETERS AND PESEK TO CLASH IN BOUT Papillion Carpenter and Buf falo County Marvel Carded to; Tangle on Mat in Omaha in July. Charley Peters, tl.e celebrad Pa pillion carpenter, and John Pesek, the Buffalo county mat marvel, will clash in a wrestling joust next month. The match will be held in Omaha and Jack Lewis, well known local sportsman, probably will undertake promotion. The date will be set im mediately 'after the Marin Plestina--Henry Ordeman1 bout here July 4. Both Peters and Pesek rank high in the regard of Omaha wrestling fans. Peters came into prominence two years ago and was undefeated until last February when he suc cumbedto Joe Stecher's scissors atter forty-six minutes of gruelling grap pling. Pesek flashed like a meteor across the wrestling sky last winter. He has been seen only once in Omaha. He wrestled a twenty-minute preliminary with Jim Londos before the Stecher Peters bout. Later he defeated Lon dos. Pesek also stayed an hour in a handicap match with Earl Caddock. Caddock failed to throw him at all. Peters and Pesek both are after matches with Earl Caddock. Peterson Moves String From Indiana Into Ohio Ed, Peterson, president of the Omaha Driving club and Omaha har-, ii ess enthusiast, has shipped his stable of fast horses from Indiana polis, where he has had them' in train ing, to Marion, O. Peterson's string includes Baxter Lou,2:llj4, the step per he bought last fall; Ben Earl, 2:0O5; Greatness, 2:10; Spriggan, 2:08;, and several others. They are in charge of Marvin Childs. Ben Earl is carded to clash with Single G. 2.00, Pop Geer's famous stepper, in a match race at Youngs town. O., in July. It is believed tne Omaha horse has an excellent chance to defeat the Geer entry on the half mile oval. ' Peterson will campaign his animals on theGrand Circuit this year and hopes to drag down a wad of the1 money with Ben Earl and Baxter Lou. Ben Earl was the leading money winning pacer of 1916 and Peterson, believes he will repeat. Baxter Lou worked in 2:03-14 t Lexington last fall and at that time loomed up as the class of the stake prospects. Joe Thomas time and he says his car was traveling at 118 miles an hour when a tube pinched. While fighting the car Joe encountered an oil spot on the track and the machine promptly turned over and shot off the track. Ry a miracle Thomas and his mechanician escaped unscathed and the car was hardly damaged. V: v. Jv)J' - 4 V .aaMaasat W$ -'WW' VAIL. OTTO HENNING. (Ogren) HOLMES THREATENS TO CANDUCKLINGS Link Leader Peevish at Actions of Athletes and. Intimates' that Sweeping; Changes Are to Come, A change in the Western leagde presidency won't be the only one to concern Lincoln, for Ducky Holnies, dissatisfied with the work of his ball team lately, is threatening a shakeup. Right now Holmes is paying atten tion to his pitching staff and there the first effect! of his decision to make changes will be felt if new pitching is to be had. ) The. enforced absence of Howard Gregory, 1'ie league's leading pitcher, unquestionably has been a factor in the recent losing streak, but the other hurlers on the Lincoln staff have not been performing up to standard. Carl East, one of the league's leading ding ers during. the race of 1916, has been a constant loser and his pastimingTias been featured by an indifference which will result in drastic action unless he speedily gets down to brass tacks and pursues the pastime with the zeal which made him a winner during the campaign of lait year. Gardiner started the present season with a brilliant burst, but of late the ex-Virginian has been turning in more defeats than victories, due to a lack of control. Southpaw Jack Halla has not been the Halla of 1916. Perhaps the chilly weather has been a handicap to Halla in attaining prime condition and a week or two of genuine summer may ee Veteran Jack back in win ning form, but the fact remains that Halla's inability to duplicate his vic tories bf a year ago have factored more or less in the Ducklings' recent Slump . Ducky's decision to strengthen his pitching staff has been manifested by a deal fcr the acmiisition of Case Hagerman. He may not be able to come back, but the risk is worth the taking, at any rate, as the other ding ers on the Lincoln staff are going badly and the acquisition of Casey may help in the one department where it is apparent the Ducklings now need strengthening. Meantime, Ducky has In mind another switch. The infield needs bolstering in one position and the boss of the Ducks has been on the trail oi an infield performer for the last ten days. Developments along that line may be expected soon. College Phenom Takes' One ' Look at Big League, Quits McKinley, the William Jewell col lege pitching phenom, who was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals on the strength ofj a great strike-out record, reported to the team, stayed one day and hiked back to his home, sending a letter which he said "explained every thing." It did perhaps, except that McKinley's toes may have been chilled when he saw a big league ball bunch. Standing oj Teams WESTERN LEAOUE. NATIONAL LEAGUE. W. L. Pel W. L. Pet.

Ordeman has a wholesome respect for Plestina's wrestling ability, know ing only too well that any grappler capable of beating Ad Santel is indeed a worthy rival. Henry defeated San- -J u . . tei several years ago, consequently he knows how tough . the California wrestler is. Carl Matteson," George Torman, uiationnson and Lawrence Ryder, all 200 pounders, and good wrestlers, are assiaeing Ordeman in getting into condition for his joust with Ples tina.

Weighs Two Hundred. ' Ordehian weighs 210 pounds and stands fan even six feet. He bis been wrestling since 1907 and during that time has beaten such men as Jess Westergaard, Charley Cutler, Dr. Rol ler, Fred Beell, Charley Olson, Raoul Dfi. Rouen, Leo Fardelfo, George Tur ner,, Raymond Cazeau, Hjalmar Lurr din, John Perrelli, Ad Santel, Jim Eason, Jess Pcderson, Jim .Galvin and hundreds of lesser luminaries of the mat world. , It took George Hackenschmidtthe "Russian Lion," three hours and twen ty minutes to gain two falls on Orde man the last time "Hack" was in this country.' ' . ' HIGH SCHOOL LAD MAKES NAME AS MARKSMAN. The neighbor's cat, which Harry Keiner," 4318 Sewatd street. Central High school freshman, killed with his slingshot, when he was 10 years old, didn't have the proverbial nine lives of most tabbies. And though Harry received a severe calling down from the -neighbor and a more severe spanking from his mother for his ex cellent marksmanship, he neaver re gretted the. fact. i According to Keiner, who is now 16 years old, it marked the beginning of his interest in shooting. When Lieutenant Oscar L. Keat iiig, started the rifle team at' Central High school at the beginning of the school term, Keiner had no difficulty in qualifying and though but a fresh man, before the season was over had demonstrated he was the crack shot of the school. In the shooting at the East Omaha range, Keiner qualified as an expert rifleman. His score was 91 out of a possible 100. Keiner was not given first honors; because he did not shoot the required number of shots but his performance was such that Lieutenant Keating has declared him to be the test shot at Central High school. i RALPH MULFORD DUE TD ARRIVE IN OMAHA TODAY Captain of Hudson Team Leaves Chicago for Gate City , Preparatory to Speedway Races July 4. By FRED S. HUNTER. Within anotherxl Omaha will be t mecca for all speed enthusiasts and the railbird, who delights to clock the speeding steel steeds as they sweep around the board oval, once more will be in his elenjent. Before the week is out, It it ex pected practically every one 'of the! gasoline speed merchants scheduled to drive In the Omaha Speedway classic July 4 will be on the job. Ralph Mulford.Nvinner bf second place in the 1916 local event and cap tain of the Hudson team this year, left Chicago last night and it due in the Gate City this morning. He is accompanied by Arthur Hill, last year -Dario Resta's manager' and this year manager of the Hudson crew. . The three Hudson machines were shipped Friday and should be here upon the arrival of MulforH and Hill. Vail Drives Overland. , Ira Vail, Mulford't sensational teammate, is driving overland from Chicago with his mother. He already has started the journey and should roll in Monday or Tuesday at the latet. The Duesenberg team, consisting of Baby Pete Henderson, Eddie Hearne ' and Tommy Milton, is expected to ar rive the first part of the week. Much is expected of the Duesenberg , team this season. Disciples of speed ( expect to see this trio of classy drive ers become as famous as that won derful team of old, Burman, Strang; and Chevrolet, if they continue to? gether long enough. Hearne it the veteran of the team. He is one of the sensational type. He drives for all that is in him, takes every chanca that presents itself, yet always is care ful to conserve his engine and car, Henderson and Mil(on are of the younger generation. Both are great drivers already, ut as they gain ex perience they will become still more proficient. Changes to Occur. Some switches in the drivers may occur .this week. Gaston Chevrolet and joe J3oyei will drive the two Frontenac entries, in all probability, y Louis Chevrolet has een masked to , take part in an invitation meet at Uniontown, Ta., and probably will ac cept. In the event he does, his brother, Gaston, and Boyerwill tool . his cars here. Otto Henning, scheduled to drive an Ogren July 4, and Dave Lewis, pilot of the Hoskins Special, are said to be candidates for the vacancy on the-Mercer team. If one or the other is signed to drive the yellow mount it will mean a change in the driver ; of the Ogren or the Hoskins. It also is said a change will be made in the Hudton team, that anpther driver will supersede Art Patterson, who has been teaming with Mulford and Vail.- It has been reported Billy Chandler, who has been acting. as, master mechanician for the crew, wjU be.given the, mount.- Chandler drove . a i Crawford in the Omaha race last year. ... 'Work on the speedway is rapidly being pushed' to completion.,, Some rerlairs are being made on the track, infield and grandstand, and the man agement declares it will have the" oval in first class condition by the middle of the week. Elimination contests probably will start next Saturday and be held that day, Sunday and one day next week. Brooklyn Takes Both Games of Double-Header Brooklyn, June 23.
