DENVER WALKS OFF
. WITH GIFT OF GAME
.Cecil Thompson Donates Eight
. een Hits and His Teammates
4 Contribute Errors to Make
- Eleven to Six Defeat.
' The. Denver Bears clubbed out
eighteen bingles yesterday and walk
led away with the first game of the
Rourke-Denver series, li to 6.
Steve Dale, who did the pitching
for the visitors, held Omaha to four
hits till the ninth frame, when he
loosened up a bit and gave them four
runs on three hits, two walks and an
error.- ' ,
Cecil Thompson was slaughtered.
Actually slaughtered. ,Only three of
the . eighteen hits went for extra
bases, but that was enough. Pitcher
Dale got two of these, a pair of
doubles. Nicholson was given a ter
rible initiation into the mystic circles
of Omaha balldom and was made to
run all over the right pasture. Of
course,' he wasn't the only one who
had to cover ground in order to give
the scores a chance to note the hits,
runs and errors. Tere was Earl
Smith wth his bum hoof. And Shag.
The absolute count of the number of
miles traveled by these three gents is
staggering.
Five Errors Help.
Krug, Williams and. Burg didn't
think Cecil gas going right, so they
helped him out with five errors and
Cecil himself bobbled once. .
Miller made his first appearance
here as arbiter and. his first was. pleas
ing in every respect. .
The thamps, woh will be acknowl
edged s'uch at tomorrow's game, when
the pennant is hauled up on the flag
pole: mid fitting ceremonies, made a
valiant fight in the last frame. Smith
was safe at second on Hartzell's er
ror. "Shaw flew out to Butcher and
Williams tripled. Burg followed with
a double. Cooney grounded out and
Brottem pinching for G Thompson
walked. The spectators by this time
were beginning to come to, so Nichoj
son ripped off a single, his second hit
in ' the garne. ,Krug walked and J.
Thompson, weakened by his stren
uous day in the field flew out to Mc
Cormack. Place For Williams.
Dave Williams will probably .take
Bradjey's present place permanently,
That is, on the bench. Dave only
hits .occasionally,- bobbles as often
and can't keep cool. ,
' Nicholson, will ' doubtless prove
what what Omaha has needed for
some time, and if Smith recovers- from
his. "bad-'foot and bad slump at the
same time," these two-with Thompson
should make a good outfield. ,
'The flag will be raised "this after
noon before -the game.

another during the day, fully 1,000
people watched the shooting at the

MOVE FROM ST. JOE
THOUGHT CERTAIN
Western Magnates Decide to
Transfer Franchise If Hol
land Says Word and Leave
to Carry Out Plan.
Emerson Dickerson, Jack Holland
and Frank Isbell, left Omaha Mon
day for Hutchinson, Kan., to com
plete the transfer of the St. Joseph
franchise to that city. The final
word still remains to be said by Hol
land, but the transfer is far more than
a mere probability and needs but the
consent of Holland to be effective.
It is understood that the meeting
here covered the possibility of extend
ing the league south next year. An
expression was obtained from one of
the owners that Tulsa and Oklahoma
City would probably be in next year's
schedule. The Denver people must
make rapid strides toward supporting
thtir team this list half of the year,
or they will be deprived of their fran
chise at the close of the season. Sioux
City is another town that has not been
paying.
Senate Near Compromise
On Food Control Amendments
Washington, July 17. Sentiment in
the senate toward compromise differ
ences on the food control bill appar
ently cryslalized today on a group of
amendments drawn up at joint con
ferences of democratic and republican
leaders. , '
While on the senate floor another
day was spent in criticism of the de
fense council and other executive
bodies, a reprint of the bill was made
embodying the leaders' proposals,
which are expected to remove many
basic objections and develop general
support. ' ',
Principal revisions recommended by
tlie leaders are for limitation ot gov
ernment control of foods, seeds and
fuels, including kerosene and gasoline
creation of a special board of food ad
ministration of three salaried , com
missioners instead of administration
by an individual; fixing by congress
of a basic minimum price of $1.75 per
bushel for No. 1 northern wheat ex
tension of governmen licensing to
elevators, farm machinery, factories,
packing houses, coal mines and deal
ers, fertilizer producers and whole
salers of such products and govern
ment purchase and sale, to secure rea
sonable prices of fuel, wheat, flour,
meal, beans and potatoes only.
Voting on these proposals and other
amendments is expected to begin to
morrow. Reserve Officer Secretly

vestigation.
(Br Associated Fru.)
Chicago, July 17. Joseph E, Davies
of the federal trade commission and
a corps of thirty investigators, clerks
and stenographers arrived here this
afternoon to conduct the govern
ment's first searching inquiry into the
entire meat Industry.
The subject will be gone into lit
erally from the prenatal days of a
calf, for the inquiry will run from the
cost of cattle feed to the market bas
ket. Francis J. Heney will act as attor-'
ney for the commission. Mr. Davies'
first work here was to confer with
Walter L. Fisher, counsel for the live
stock interests. Cattle men have long
demanded an investigation of market
ing conditions. The packers pro
fessed willingness only if the cattle
men themselves were investigated.

H. Smith, Attorney General Willis E.
Reed. Charles W. Pool, neertarv rf
state, and Ed Westerling of the state
treasurer's office.
, The officials of the Federal Land
bank of Omaha are gratified that the
people of the Eiahth district are nre-
pared to finance the operations of the
bank without the assistance of outside
capital. They are convinced that, al
though the applications for loans now
aggregate the sum of $12,000,000, they
will find this district - sufficiently
prosperous so that the investors will
meet the requirements of - the bor
rowers. Treasurer E. D. Morcom. repre
senting the Federal Land bank of
Omaha, and Registrar-Attorney
Merton L. Corey, representing the
Federal Farm Loan board, are man
aging the sale of the bonds, They
today predicted that the investors of
these four states would subscribe for
$1,000,000 worth of bonds within the
next thirty days.
The board of directors was in ses
sion at Omaha on Tuesday, Wed
day and Thursday of last week and
pressed its gratification at the
response of the public in purchasing
farm loan bonds and reported favor
ably upon conditions in the four
states.
The only complaint' thus far voiced
against the management of the Fed
eral Land bank of Omaha is that a
number of associations have been
refused the entire amount applied for
in loans. The officials, while on the
one hand. they have sought to assist
the deserving farmers m strict keep
ing with the spirit of the federal farm
loan act. have on the other
hand discouraged loans to irresponsi-
oie Borrowers and have flatly , re
fused to make loans in excess of a
conservative valuation. The farmers
seeking capital and the investors fur
nishing this capital are generally well
pleased with the operation of the
plan thus far, and it is assured that
the Federal Loan bank of Omaha
will be one of the largest and most
successful banks of the entire sys
tem. n low
