Four-Bit Bat Breaks Jinx
For Texas Loop Comedian
George Kircher, now playing sec
ond base for Kort Worth in the
Texas league, is a great comedian,
but his team mates thenight he was
carrying the joke stuff pretty far re
cently when he came out to the ball
park carrying a 50-cent bat labeled
"King of the Field No. 13," and
walked to the plate with it v. lien it
came his turn to hit.
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,

"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.

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

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

Papillion Carpenter and Buf

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

Ben Earl is carded to clash with

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

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.

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.
