Boston Braves Let Boys
Under 16 in Park Free
The Boston National league club
was', somewhat disappointed when it
inaugurated its free gate for boys and
only about 00 came, but on its sec

idea, for upwards of 2,000 turned out.
The, plan is to admit boys under 16
free fo one section of the bleachers
each- Monday that the Braves play
at home. If tLC plan works out the
club i mai open the gates on other
days besides Monday.

Girls' City Net Play
At Field Club Monday
' The annual girls' city tennis
tournament starts at the Omaha
Field club Monday. Over thirty
girls will take part.
Some fast tennis is expected when
the fair triisses clash. Among the
favorites are Addie Fogg, who has
won more' tennis titles than any
other girl in Omaha; Ruth and
Ruby Swenson, the Central high
twins; Virginia Green, another Cen
tral high crack, and Claire Daugh
erty. "
Katherine Krug, who won the
championship last year, will not de
fend her title, but her absence is in
no way expected to detract from
the class of the tourney.
Braves to Give Rehg and
Powell One More Chance
Walter Rehg and Rabbit Powell are
to have another chance in the big
show, the Boston Braves having' pur
chased them from the Providence In
ternationals. Rehg once was with the
Pirates, while Powell had a trial with
the Detroit Tigers. The Braves sent
Infielder Massey and Pitcher Reul
bach to Providence in part payment.
Providence also gets Outfielder
George Twombley, who recently was
released to Louisville, hut refused to
go. He has consented to play in
the International. To make room
for the new outfielders the Boston
club has released Wilhoit, who was
taken in by Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh Lands Wilhoit
And Debus by Waiver Route
The Pittsburgh club has claimed on
waivers Outfielder Wilhoit from the
Boston Braves and Shortstop Adam
Debus, a St. Louis Cardinal recruit.
The latter recently was bought from
Fargo of the Northern league and
never as much as had on a Cardinal
uniform.
Chicago Cubs Pay Price for
. Vangilder of Defunct Loop
The Chicago Cubs have taken on

considered more than a chance was
worth. 1
championships are eligible for this
eVent
It is probable several other Ne
braska shots, however, will attend the
big , handicap to compete in the
Grand American Handicap, which is
open to all amateurs,1 and the other
minor, events. The handicap' will be
100 targets at unknown angles to be

PESEK AND PETERS
TO MEETLABOR DAY
Negotiations Now Under Way
Between Rival Managers
Call for Match at Eourke
Park in September.
'"
John Pesek, the Buffalo county mat
marvel, who has yet to suffer his
first defeat, and Charley, Peters, the
Papillion carpenter, whose only con
querer is Joe Stecher, will clash in
Omaha Labor day, if plans now under
way are consummated.
Jack Lewis, well known, Omaha
sportsman, who has taken over , the
management of Peters, and Martin
Slavery, PeselcSj business agent, have
had several conferences, and it is pro
posed tcr stage the bout at ' Rourke
park. Pa Rourke has agreed to pro
mote the event. Unless a hitch oc
curs in the proceedings and this is
not expected the bout will fce held.
The match will be Pesek's first on
the big time. The Buffalo county lad
has been wrestling a little over a year.
Most of his matches have been con
fined to his home county or the
smaller towns of the state. He has
wrestled once before in Omaha. It
was a twenty-minute preliminary with
Jim Londos before the Stecher-Peters
match. This will be his first match
as the main attraction in a big city.
Like Stecher. Pesek is a Bohemian
farmer lad. And, like Stecher, his
first big match on the big time will be
in Rourke park in Omaha.
Pesek is not as large as Stecher,
but he is much faster, and there are
those mat students who believe he
will in time be a much better man
than the Dodge lad, if he is not al
ready. Held Caddock Off.
Pesek first gained prominence when
Earl Caddock failed to throw him in
a handicap KO of one hour.
Charlie ' Peters, ha3 done no wrest
ling since he was conquered by
Stecher last February. Jack Lewis,
who has just taken over the manage
ment of Peters, believes, however,
that the Papillion man can be made
a champion with proper handling, and
he intends to outline a business season
for his charge. He intends to pit him
against the best grapplers in the game
in the hope gf eventually landing a
match with Caddock.
Decision to hold the Pesek-Pcters
clash Labor day in Omaha came when
it was found Stecher would not wres
tle Plestina. Pete Loch, Plestina's
manager, offered Stecher a guarantee
of $3,000 to wrestle in Omaha, or of
fe'red to accept $1,500 guarantee for
Plestina to wrestle in Lincoln, but
Hetmanek refused both.
Ebbets Decides His Club is
Flivver; Seeks New Players
President Ebbets of Brooklyn is
said to have concluded his team is
a flivver and is going to rebuild it
with youngsters. Among the raw re
cruits then announced are the 'gray
haired Bill Leardy and Frank
O'Rourke, who had a trial with the
Boston Nationals as far back as 1912.
All of which reminds us of the good
things that were said for the "young
ster" Fabrique last spring.

Here Is Eddie Rickenbacher a$
He Looks in the Khaki in Paris
Here is a picture of Eddie Ricken
bacher, Omaha boy and declared by
most speed enthusiasts to be the
greatest racing driver who ever
steered a car, in the khaki of the
United States "Sammy."
The photograph was sent by "Rick"
to F. J. McShane, jr., director of con
tests of the Omaha speedway, and one
of Eddie's closest personal friends. It
was taken in Paris where the famous
speed demon is a sergeant of the
signal corps- assigned to General
Pershing's general staff. He has
charge of the staff's motor fleet.
"Rick" put in his application tb join
the American forces shortly after war
was declared. He was scheduled to
start the 1917 speedway racing season
at Cincinnati Memorial day at the
wheel of a Detroit Special.
Two days before the race, however,
Eddie was summoned to Washing
ton. He was sent to Long Island to
conduct an aviation school, but when
Pershing's 'staff was ordered to
Europe, Eddie was transferred and
sent across the water wiih the, first
detachment.
They used to call fhe Omaha boy
around the speedway circuit "Baron
Edward von Rickenbacher," as he is
of .Swiss origin, but the "baron" and
the "von" have been canned for all
time now.

YOUTH AGAIN
his veteran opponent in every
Beckett, Seymour Lake Country
dope Friday by trouncing Sam
9 Becket earned hk victory because
he totally outclassed his rival. He got
more distance out of his drives, his
approach shots were cleaner, his putts
more accurate and he was more suc
cessful in keeping outj of trouble. Both
Beckett, and Redick played more or
ICm erratic golf. At times their work
was superb, at others it was inclined
to be ragged, especially on the green.
On the whole, however, Beckett was
the most consistent
It was in the second lap of the thir
ty-six hole match that Beckett clearly
manifested his superiorty. The first
eighteen holes were played evenly.
Beckett got away 'to a flying start
on the very first hole. When Redick
drove out of bounds and failed to re
cover, Beckett won the hole and had
Redick at a disadvantage of 1 up at
the start.
.Redick recovered, however, and ev
ened the score on the third hole and
made it 2 up on the fourth. At the
end of the first nine holes Beckett
was 1 down to the Country club man.
Comes Back Strong !
But playing the inside, Beckett
cagie back strong and with plenty of
nerve and confidence evened matters
up so that when the morning round
of eighteen holes had been completed
the score stood even all.
Beckett started out strong again on
the afternoon round and when the
first hole had been completed had
Redick 2 down. By winning the tenth
and eleventh holes, however, Redick
evened the score and the big gallery
following the play anticipated a Gar
rison finish. '
- But it was not to be. For starting
at this -point Beckett began -to play
paf golf and Redick was left at the
post. The Seymour Lake lad played
some of. the best golf that has ever
been seen in Omaha and captured the
twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth snd
fifteenth holes in succession and won
the match 4 up and 3. It was a gen
uine victory.

Both men took threes on seven, but
on eight Redick regained his lost ad
vantage. Both men sent screaming
drives down the fairway and-their
seconds were long shots, but Redick
landed in a bunker fhom which he
made a difficult approach shot. to the
green only to dub his putt with the
result that Redick took the hole 4-5
and was 1 up.

rivals started the inside nine with
Redick 1 up. Beckett took a five on

up.
,, But Beckett came back like a whirl
wind on eleven and startled the gal
lery by making a 290-yard drive to
the green. His drive sailed clear over
the trap and went straight for the
flag. ' It is unusual even to attempt
to drive over the trap on this hole.
Putting for a two, Beckett easily won
the hole and reduced Redick's lead to
1 up.' Beckett also took the twelfth
hole and made the count even up. .
On thirteen Beckett drove one a

Redick succeeded in halving the hole.
The fourteenth was halved, but
Beckett slipped on fifteen, taking a
