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.

'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. Bases on balls: Off Ehmke. 9:
oft Leonard, 1; off Maya, 1. Hits: Off
Leonard, 9 In five Innings; off Ehmke. 7 In

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."

GIANTS SLOW DOWN,
WHILESOX CLIMB
National Leaders Drop Twenty
Points, But Chicago Widens
Gap in American
League.
New York, Aug. 26. The lead of
New York in the National league de
creased twenty points last week be
cause the Giants continued to play in
different base ball while Philadelphia
won six of its eight contests. 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. Detroit also showed
improvement over the previous week
and won five out of seven.
New York showed no improvement.
and Washington during the week won
only one game out of six, in com-
