ROURKES WIN IN
EXCITING COMBAT
Pa Rourke and Umps Bush
Stage Ten-Minute Argument
as to Where Pa Shall Sit
When Directing Team.
Two swell singles by Marty Krug
and Ward Miller, two beautiful hectic
heaves by Doc Manser and Hank
Butcher, of the hated opposition and
a neat and nifty double steal by Ward
Miller and Fin 'ardley, enabled the
le luxe Rourkes to trounce the pesky
Grizzlies 2 to 1 yesterday afternoon,
and thus make it .fifty-fifty on the
four-game scries.
Owing to the chill in the atmos
phere, or the amateurs or something
or other, the number of cash 'cus
tomers, yesterday did not reach the
usual Sabjath total, but those who
were on the job got their money's
worth. The ball game was nicely
played and interesting and Umps
Hush pulled some stage stuff that
made tnc nialinee all the more enjoy
able. In the. first half of the" opening
clana, Jush and Kourke staged a
ton-minute argument, much to the
amusement of the customers. A flock
of the Denver athletes 'were perched
on top ot their bench and threatened
to cave in the roof. In these days of
high expenses- and slim receipts, Pa
(liil not care to incur a' carpenter's bill
because of the carelessness of the
Denver athletes. He asked Bush to
remove -them, which the umps did.'
Tries to Move Pa.
Now it so happens Pa has a grand
stand chair on which he sits while d
recting the game, right next to the
Omaha bench. Hartzell, Denver boss
nagged Hush into telling Pa to
vamou.se inside the dugout, which Pa
refused to do on the grounds that his
chair scat way part of the bench.
For ttn minutes " Pa and "Bush
' chewed the well known rag while the
fans chortled in theirglee. Finally,
Hugh Jones took a hand and said Pa
could occupy his seat so the game
went on after Bush had consulted his
watch a couple of dozen times.
Banishes Nye.
Again in the fifth inning, Otto Nye
stole home. He made it hands down
as. Shesrdc hasn't touched him yet,
but Bush called him but Nye said
"what for" so Bush, who evidently has
' taken "less'ons in elocutipn and is
proud of his ability along this line,
waved his arms a la. Francis Bush
man and roared "out of the park.
Bush's reasons for his act were
somewhat indistinct and puizling to
the spectators, but no matter the
t tunt added to the afternoon s amuse
ment. .
Score in First.
"' The Rourkes made the two runs
which won the game in the opening
stana. After Cooney whiffed, Krug
singled to left and took second when
Doc Manser made a wild aha futile
throw to catch him napping at first.
Ward Miller cracked a single to left
and Hank Butcher made the mistake
of his ilife by trying to cut down
Krug at the plate. The ball hit the
grandstand with the result that Marty
scored standing up and Miller beat it
to third. Shaw whiffed, but Yardley
drew a walk and then Yard and Miller
pulled a double steal with Ward on
the scoring end.
Denver made her lone tally in the
eighth. Hartzell doubled to center,
took third on McCormick's single to
right and scored when Shcstak forced
McCormick at second with a grounder
to Cooney.,
Merzliurled a fine game of ball. He
allowed but five hits and did not is-

Mack Forbes and Woodman
To Feature Cleveland Races
Cleveland, O.. Aug. 12 With the !
:W trot, in which, the season s two
unbeaten trotters, Mack Forbes,
2:08, and The Woodman, 2:06'4,
will lock horns, as the big opening
feature, the secend North Randall
Grand Circuit meeting of this season
is scheduled to open tomorrow.
In addition to the 2:09 trot, which
has nine starters, the ooenine card is
composed of the 2:07 pace, with ten;
tne ;ews -year-old trotting sweep
stakes, in which the six crack babv
trotters of the year will match speed,
and the 2:17 pace, with five contest
ants. ,
Mack Forbe has won eight
straight races. The Woodman has a
string pf seven victories. They are
hailed as the two trotting sensations
of 1917. , While each has losf heats,
neither has dory so unless through a
break. Both have shoyvn sensational
nights of speed' and horsemen seem
about equally divided as to their rela
tive merits. This race is expected to
be . one of the biggest speculative
events of the entire season.
f The Cause of Constipation.
Constipation is usually due to a
lack of water in the excrement. To
effect a cure you must take more
water into the system. It may be
months, however, before this has any
appreciable effect on the bowels, but
when persisted in and fruit and vege
tables containing water are eaten free
ly the condition may be overcome.
In the meantime use the mildest laxa
tives obtainable and take only enough j
to produce the desired effect. Cham- I
berlain's Tablets are one of the best. !
They are easy to take and most j
agreeable in effect. ;

GERMANY FAVORS
HINDENBURG PEACE
Catholic Centrist Party
Changes Its Views After Re
cent German Victories
in the East.
. Copf nliagert, Aug 12. The, Catho
lic Centrist party in the Reichstag,
which through the party's organ Ger
mania, announced it was satisfied
with the cahinet arrangements of Dr.
George Michaelis, the imperial chan
cellor, and desired no further conces
sion to parliamentary government is
suspected by the progressive ' news
papers of having lost much of its in
terest in the peace resolution.
The Pan-German newspapers open
ly boast that a considerable part of
the Reichstag centrists have expert
enced a change of heart under the iri
tiuence ot tne uerman victories in
the east and now are in favor of the
so-called Hindenburg peace.
They call- on him to enforce this
program in foreign affairs as the
chancellor's constitutional duty and
prerogative. The Pan-German press
is led to take this stand not only by
Dr. Michaelis attitude since the
Reichstag met with him but by his
conferences with Field Marshal Von
Hindenburg.

"I Told You So"
Yesterday I begged and pleaded with you to see DOROTHY
DALTON in "THE FLAME OF THE YUKON," telling you that
it was the best picture Thomas H. Ince ever made.
We did a wonderful business yesterday and never did I ever
see more pleased audiences. .....
Furthermore, personally, the picture is even better than I
expected. When the wizard of the screen tells you that a pic
tur is gTeat, you are bound to expect something, but even then
I was pleasantly disappointed.
Never have I seen such perfect types, such sustained action,
such new and novel photographic "shots" or views, such a caBt,
and such a story. . . : .
There are seven long reels to this picture, but they pass
before your very eyes in a space of time that seems only a few '
, minutefe, so engrossed to you become in the story.
As I told you yesterday, it's not so' much the money, I am
after in this case, as it is to have you see a real honest-to-good-ness
picture.
I'm candid in saying to you we've paid more for pictures,,
but I'll also say that we never had, one that "delivered the
goods" any more than this.
This picture is only on today that's why I'm taking this
extra ad asking you to come, but PLEASE DO COME, even '.
if you pass up some other picture here, because every time you
see an extra fine .subject, you become just that better photoplay
fan, and I'll be honest that's what I'm after. '
Come down critical; analyze this production from A to Z and
1 11 bet you you'll go out just as big' a booster as I am. i .
You've believed in me before do it now,' and you won't re
gret it. .'.-. . ' ; ''" r , , .'. .-, .. : -. ''

SHOWS RIGID LINES
OF ARMYJRAFT LAW
Married Men Not . Exempt Un
less Families Would Other
wise Become Burdens ,
. on the State.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Aug. 12. Renewed
emphasis was laid by Provost Marsha!
General Crowder today upon the fact
that congress framed the army draft
law, in the interest of the nation, not
the. individual. For that reason the
lines are . being drawn tight ' in the
matter of exemptions, , ''
The government has acted slowly
in. bringing home to the people the
rigid character of the act. There his
been much discussion of the exemp
tion problem.: based on1 an erroneous
view of the law's purpose, which 'as
sumed -that married men, for instance,
would be .exempted without question
and that the burden of the military
duty ;wa! to be carried fully by the
single men among the 10,000,000 regis
tered... , : ', ..'..;.-
General Crowaer has taken the po
sitidn 'in recent ruling that married
men will be exempted only; when -it
is to the interest of. the government
that they .should be excused from
service..' If the rernoval of the drafted
man from his "family circle probably
would result in '.he family becoming"
a public burden it is to the interest of
the government to leave him in his
.civil. occupation so he can care for liis
dependents... ' , ," ' . ' "- 'u
',; Restrictions Are Tightened. '
' An interpretation similarly rigid has
now been pla.ced.upon exemptions for
industrial reasons.' The government
has taken : the lead in scrutinizing
closely individual cases among its em
ployes before asking that they be ex
empted.. "
