THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY. AUGUST 27. 1917. " 5 j? Drawn for The Bee by George McManus 1 M. f . - - - - t . r--.. ; & gf OMAHA AND LINKS SPLIT DOUBLE BILL Ducklings Capture First Fray, t to 0, After Eleven Innings, But Rourkes Hammer Home Second One. Five; thousand tans 'were treated to some of the best base ball in years yesterday at Rourke park, where Omaha and Lincoln clashed in a dou ble bill. Lincoln won the first game, ) to 0, after eleven bitterly fought innings, and Omaha captured the second fray, 11 to 3. The Links wer covered with horse shoes, rabbit feet and all other known good lucK charms in the first game. Dame Fortune favored them with at least one break in the luck every in ning, although it must be admitted the Rourkes lacked the punch and errors contributed to the enemy's vic tory. One of the most peculiar and heart breaking plays ever seen in Rourke park occurred in the tenth inning of the first game. Shaw opened the stanza with a sin gle. Yardley sacrificed him to second. Brottera pounded a terrific liner right at Gregory. It hit Gregory on the knee, bounced into the air and Berg hammer caught it with one hand and then caught Shaw off second for a double play. The ump s ruling was that the ball did not hit the ground before caught by a Lincoln player. Fill Bases Twice. Twice in the first game Omaha filled the bases, but couldn't score. Three times runners were on second with nobody out and failed to com plete the circuit. In the seventh Marty O'Toole, who had been hurling, great ball, collided with Selk sliding into third and was so jarred up he. could not continue the game. In the fatal eleventh, with one down,' Thomason was safe, whin Cooney dropped his fly and took sec ond when Coone's rather bad throw to first was juggled by Shaw. Bay less made an infield hit and Yardley made a mess of it and Thomason came home with the winning run. That was the way the luck hroke against Pa's Pets in that first game. Chase Jinx""in Second. But the Rourkes took out their "spite on the jinx '.n the second. They chased the hoodoo from the grounds in the very first inning and put the game on ice with five runs off Jack Halla. Williams doubled, Miller sin gled. Shaw doubied, Yardley tripled, Brottem was safe on an- error, Thompson beat out a bunt and Nye was safe on an error. That spelled the five talties and salted the combat away for the Rourkes. The six runs scored in the eighth were merely to show the Links it could be done. " The last game of the Omaha-Lincoln series will be played today, start ing at 3:15. Miners and Salt Packers Split Double-Header Joplih, Ho., Aug. 23.

Three-bass 'Hunch' Leads Loch to Predict Easy Victory for Plestina Over Stecht Pete Loch, manager of Marin Plestina, has a "hunch." Loch's hunch is that Plestina will win over Joe Stecher at the Omaha Auditorium Labor day in a walk. He bases his hunch on that old adage that "they never come back." "Stecher was the champion for two years," Loch explains his hunch. "Then he encountered John Olin and lost. Then he tackled Earl Caddock and the finishing touches were put to him again. "His matches with Olin and Cad dock were his last two big matches. The others were setups and didn't count. He lost both of those big bouts. He's gone and he'll never coflie back. "Who ener heard of a champion that came, back? Frang Gotch? Oh, yes, Frank lost to Bcell and then hit: Burns. Stolen base: Cobb. Double plays: Ehmke, Bush and Burns; Veach, Spencer.

BALLOON IS "EYE" OF THE ARTILLERY President of Aero Club De clares United States Should Have Balloon Squad for Every Battery. "The importance of balloon work in this war cannot be overestimated," said Allan Hawley, president of the Areo Club of America,- Saturday, at the Omaha Commercial club. "Balloon work is of equal importance with air planes and the two together will win the war. The balloons are the 'eyes of the army," and the artillery de pends on them for almost all infor mation. "There should be a' balloon com pany to every battery in the war. This means about 600,000 men should be trained for balloonwork at once. Think what that would mean to Fort Omaha if they were all to be trained there. It is possible that they mav be. if' the government trains that many." Mr. Hawley has been in many fa mous balloon flights. In 1910 he piloted a balloon in the international balloon race from St. Louis. In fortv six hours he landed in the wilds of Canada, where he was lost for a week, living on what he could find in the woods. President Hawley of the Aero Club of America, Henry Woodhouse, a governor of the club, and other mem bers of it now touring the country in behalf of aerial warfare, have been asked not to join the army. More Good Out of Army. "This is because the president feels we can do more good out of the army than in it," said Mr. Woodhouse Saturday. As members 'of this club are probably the best qualified in the country in aerial navigation, the con clusion is drawn that their tour as speakers for aviation will lead to great results. "Great things are going to be done at Fort Omaha," said Mr. Woodhouse. "And the officers there appreciate the kindness of Omaha to them. I heard so many times remarks on the hospi tality shown them in Omaha and how it has been enjoyed. From the first, they say, the Commercial club of Omaha has been with them."

The league leaders won four games, lost three and played a five-inning tie. In the American Chicago retains the lead by a slightly better margin than at the end of the the previous week. The series at Chicago between the American league leaders and Boston was the most important of the, week, but the three games between the Brooklyn and Pittsburgh Nationals were equally as interesting. Many Innings Played. In all the SiiDerbas and Pirates played forty-five 'innings, enough for five full sanies. The Icaaue record for the longest came was broken on Wednesday when the Superbas triumphed over Pittsburgh by a 6 to 5 score in twenty-two innings. Pitts burg also set a new maior league rec ord by playing fifty-nine innings in tour consecutive extra inning games. The play of McGraw's men con tinues erratic and is not as finished as during July and early August. Philadelphia, on the other hand, has snown marked improvement in the last two weeks, due esoeciallv to steady pitching and opportune, al- tnougn not extremely heavy hitting. The four-game series between Chi caog and Boston for possession of the American league lead ended in a tie with each team winning two games. ueveland gained on the leaders by winning five out of six, its only de feat being on Saturday at the hands of New York.
