DOUBLE-HEADER IS
ICEDBYRODRKES
Joplin liners Easy Meat for
, Pa's Pets and Omaha Quits
on Long End of Both
' V , Games.
Nothing earthly seemed able to stop
the Omaha club yesterday and they
romped away from the Joplin Mineri
with both games of a double bill.
The first fray was farcical, the score
turning out to be 12 to 1. ,, Martin J.
OToole, of times before distinguished
as a premier slabist, did the twirling
for us and had the beef-luggers from
down south at his mercy all the time.
Otto Merz, not to be outdone by his
team-mate, proceeded to give the poor
visitors another such trouncing while
they w t:t trying to get over the one
administt t'l them .by the boy with
the red thttch. ,
. , Miners Chalk One Up. -'
Joplin started out. to win the first
game by chalking up a tally in the
very, first frame on Cochran's single
and ; Devore's double. Which, of
course, was all right. The locals
weren't able to begin things at once,
and therefore left the first inning
blank. But the second saw them
chasing in three on three hits and an
error. Well after that the Rourke
didn't have much trf1 worry, about.
Marty OToole dished 'em up so they
couldn't. come near them and allowed
but three hits during the rest of the
game, ': ': i '
The second game Mas somewhat
closer and on account of the fact that
Omaha has blown up, once or twice
before, everybody was willing to stick
around until the last, bloke was out in
the ninth.
V ; Oo I Tight.
Handsome Otto didn't let the boys
from the foundry town get even a
vivid imagination of a score until the
eighth. In that frame Lindamore sur
vived on Williams' inuff of Cooney's
throw.. Ciltner, pinching for Maples,
singled to left pushing the darkened
shortstop aronnd to Joe Burg's sta
tion. Lamb flew out and Cochrane
singled. Davis grounded out and the.
scoring for 'the day was over as far
' as Joplin was concerned. . , r
Omaha annexed one in the second
on Schick's double . and , Cooney's
pinglc, and another in the fifth on
Merz' double and Krug's single. In
the sixth they added (to the misery
.' of Mr. Maples by adding another run
on Schick's double and Cooney's
single.. But that wasn't all.
Lay for Sanderl.
That Omaha bunch just lay waiting
for the Right Honorable Roy Sanders
and knocked in a pair of pearlies be
fore they were made to quit by Um
pire Brown just to fatten up the score.
And it only took one single. Smith
walked to . peri' the inning and
Schick sacrificed him to second. Ben
Shaw got a poke in the slats and
was therefore accordingly allowed to
amble down to first unmolested. Dav
Williams didn't cause a riot when he
struck out, but Otto Merz poked one
on the beezer for a double for the
two tallies.' i
Philip Boswald Cooney, thecrafty,
exemplified al that twas honorable
, and good. 'Phil-up made five trips to
the rubber in the first fracas and
succeeded in busting out thrci singles
and a triple for the joy of the popu
lace. True he did make a littla bobble,
but what's that among" friends? , He
accepted eight other chances and he'
only a little fellow. In the second
game, Cooney's double and single, his
acceptance of seven chances without
an error made the multitude lfave the
park striking their breasts and crying,
"Truly this is a great man; He hath
done great works among the Gen
tiles." .v- v-;,-

GRAND CIRCUIT
MEET AT HARTFORD
; ' - , s
Three Days .of Racing to Be
Held on Mile Track and
' 1 ' Two Days . on Half
I Mile Oval. : '
The Grand Circuit meeting'at Hart
ford will be held the week of Septem
ber 3 to 8 in connection with the Con
necticut, fair. There will be fivedays
racing while it-is in oroeress: three
of. them being over the mile track an,d
two over.tne nait-miie course, which
was opened last year. : The latter is
one of .the-fastest and safest in the
country. The day that it was opened
Azora Axworthy won a race over it
in 2:1014, 2:10. 2:10. while three
days -later. Diumeter marked it for
pacers with 2:08J4 when he won the
2:12 class. His three heats were fin
ished' 2:08J4,-2:08 and- 2:09,
and he was not all out in any one of
them.
Each of the purses for the two days'
racing on the half-mile track this vear
has been placed at $800. The trotters
are invited to appear in the 2:24, 2:21,
2:18 and 2:14 classes, while 2:14 and
2:18 events are offered for the pacers.
un the mile track the Charter Oak
Purse was renewed as a late closinar
event for 2:12 trotters with a ourse of
$2,500. This is the largest amount
that has been offered of late years for
an event of this character. The Con
necticut Fair association has also
added a free-for-all trot with a purse
of $2,500. This race takes the place
of the $5,000 Battle Royal for which
but three entries were received while
one of that number is now disabled
and turned out.
There are also two other class
events for trotters on the mile track.
They art for horses eligible to the
2:07 and 2:10 classes on August 20,
when the entires for the entire pro
gram close with the exception of the
races for 2 and 3-year-old trotters.
The 2:05, 2:09 and 2:12 pacers are also
invited to appear in their respective
classes at the Hartford Grand Circuit
meeting.
Some time ago the management of
the Connecticut fair withdrew all of
its early ctosing events for its Grand
Circuit meeting with the exception of
the races for 2 and 3-year-old trotters
and announced that it would depend
on a series of late closing events for
its meeting. ' This is an innovation
whicji horsemen have frequently asked
for as under it when they assume an
obligation for entrance fees, they
know that their horses are eligible to
compete.
Under the early closing event plan
horses are named in March and April.
At that time all except those that are
trained in the south are practically in
road condition. If they fail to come
up to expectations when tried the
owner has to pay one or two pay
ments in events in which he never
has an' opportunity to take the word.
On the other hand if his horse does
train sound, he is frequently com
pelled to meet horses which are held
over for the purpose of making a
sweep down the line.

"FLORIDA LOTS" GET
ENGLISH IN TROUBLE
Postoff ice Inspector Nabs Man
for . Investigation When He
. Finds No Town on Map
... .. as Represented.
JR. .S. English, 3320 Sherman ave
nue, was arrested Saturday night by
Postoffice Inspector W. M. Coble and
is being held at. the Central station
under $1,000 bond for investigation of
an alleged lot sale plan he was pro
moting on the South Side.
Englfsh, according to - Inspector
Coble, opened an office in the Han
non building on the South Side June
5. He claimed to be t representative
of the Nassau Realty Development
company with home offices jn the
First National Bank building, Chi
cago. ,
He arranged with the proprietors
of the Besse and Lothrop moving pic
ture theaters to give a numbered
ticket free with each adult admission.
The tickets had blank spaces for the
name and address and were to be de
posited in a box at the door. The
duplicate check informed the holder
that he would be notified in case he
was awarded one of the free lots in
South Hillard. Fla.
A letter followed a few days after
the tickets were deposited inviting the
holder to call at their office. At the
office it was explained that by the de
posit of $7.50 jit payment of the ab
stract they would be given a free lot.
They guaranteed to take in the lot
as part payment on thirty acres of
land it the convenience of the pur
chaser and allow a credit of $35. In
case they eould not get the full
amount it is alleged that amounts as
low as 25 cents were, taken in pay
ment of the lots.
Inspector Coble says there is no
town in the postoffice directory by
the name of South Hillard and that
Hillard, Fla., is a town of 200 popula
tion. When arrested English had in
his possession records of the names
of South Side residents who had re
ceived lots and paid the initial fee.
No two paid the same amount. Cap
tain Vanous of South Side station
furnished postal authorities with first
information in the case.
Man Claiming to Have Been
Robbed May Have Other Name
Chicago, July 15. "Colonei Thomas
H.- Taylor' millionaire distiller of
"Pleasant Grove," may not ireally be
the name nor the address of the man
.who caused the arrest of five persons
of some prominence here on a charge
of robbing him of $6,000 in moey
and jewelry yesterday.
Charles Erbstein, his attorney, ad
mitted as much tonight when certain
allegations were called to his atten
tion. These were to the effect that
Louisville failed to recognize the
name and that "Pleasant Grove" was
not a suburb of Louisville, as had
been related.
"That all may be so," said Mr. Erb
stein, "but anyway he is a distiller
and he is a millionaire."
' Two. of the persons accused of the
robbery are Thomas H. Wickes, son
of a late vice president of the Pull
man company, and a woman" said to
be , Mrs. Wickes The others are
Mrs. Clarissa Conger, said to have
been a wife of Wickes late father;
W. F. King, a real estate man, and
Mrs. Laura Hooper, a sister-in-Jaw of
King.
Mr. and Mrs. Wickes and King filed
praecipes in damage suits aggregating
$150,000 against "Colonel Taylor" to
day. Hearing of the charges against
them was continued until next Tues
day. . "Colonel Taylor" alleges that
.the robbery occurred in. the course of
certain cabaret revels which began
last Wednesday night. On the night
of the alleged robbery the complain
ant had his 6-year-old son, Leslie,
with him. . -

WEDNESDAY IS BIG
DAY FORTHE FANS
Pennant Won by 1916 Bourkes
Will Be Hoisted to Top
of the Flagstaff on
That Day.
Wednesday will be the red letter
day of the year for Omaha base ball
fans. For on that day the pennant
captured by the 1916 Rourkes will be
hoisted to the top of, the flagstaff in
center field with appropriate cere
monies. ,
Mayor Dahlman will present the
gonfalon to the Rourkes after which
the players will march to the flagpole
and Marty Krug and Pa Rourke will
boost it to the top of the pole, from
which point it will fly the balance oi
the season. t
Emerson Dickerson, new president
of the Western league, will make his
first visit to Omaha for the flag rais
ing. It is pr6bable,he will be called
upon to make a talk or two while in
the city. Governor Neville also has
been invited to attend the event.
The largest crowd of the season is
expected to be on hand for the flag
raising. The Commercial club, Rotary
club, Ak-Sar-Ben, Elks and other or
ganizations are boosting and declare
they will have their entire member
ships out for the ceremony.
Rebel Oakes' Denver Grizzlies will
be the attraction.
Pa Rourke still has strings out for
several athletes. The Omaha mag.
nate thought he had a couple of nifty
men last week, but the deals missed
fire at the lost moment. He expects,
however, to obtain at least two more
good men within the week.
When the Rourkes start on their
second dash for the flag July 24,
Rourke expects to have a much
stronger lineup in the field and he de
clares that, although he missed calcu
lations on the first half of the season,
that his nine will be out in front in
the second heat.
