OMAHA WINS SLOW
GAME JFROM LINKS
East Loses All Interest in Pas
time After Rourkes Score
Three Runs in Second
Inning.
Ducky Holmes' Lowly Links were
unusually loly yesterday. They
played a very nifty game of ball.
They almost played al good a game
ts the Dahlman Knights. The score
was 10 to 2 i favor of Omaha.
Monday's day of rest probably put
the Links on the blink. They needed
another day of rest to rest up from
Monday's rest.
Mr. Carl East, renounced by the
Browns, was on the firing line for the
Links. He allowed ten hits and gave
ten bases on balls.
He got by the first inning alright,
although he issued three walks, but
in the second stanza two hits, a walk,
a hit batsman, an error and a sacrifice
fly, gave the Rourkes three runs and
Mr. East's interest in the pastime
ceased on the spot.
In the third inning, the Rourkes
mixed three hits in with a bunch of
walks, errors, etc., and scored five
more. The other two runs Came in
the fifth and seventh on hits.
Jim Park hurled a nice game
against the Links and his mates
played good ball, but they couldn't
make it a ball game.
Omaha goes to Lincoln for a four
game series lasting 6ver Sunday. It
is to be hoped the Links continue to
exhibit the same sterling brand of
ball displayed yesterday. The
Rourkes would win four straight,
z Labor day, the RoUrkes return
jiuiuc lor a series wun st. Joseph.
Then comes Des Moines for four
days and the asbestos drops on the
local 1916 base ball season.

Hetmanek Comes Back at Loch
On Latter's "Hunch" on Victory
Joe Hetmanek, manager of Joe
Stecher. can't see Pete Loch's
"hunch" that Marin Plestina wilj beat
Stecher at the Omaha Auditorium
Labor day night because, as Loch
reasoned, "they never come back."
Hetmanek says Stecher's come-back
is a cinch and that Plestina is due for
the skids Labor day.
Hetmanek disputes Loch as fol
lows: "If Pete Loch, manager of Plestina,
thinks that he has a good hunch that
his man will win when he meets
Stecher in the Labor day match, I
think that there is a big disappoint
ment waiting for him.
"I am not predicting any easy vic
tory for Joe and no one else should
underestimate Plestina's ability. I
myself know that he has improved
wonderfully in the last two years, and
since he has been in training
with Farmer Burns. That he is a
touch bird can be seen; outside of
Joe Stecher none of our foremost
wrestlers cared, to take a chance with
him,

Cossaoks of Don
Demand Russia
Stand by Allies
Moscow, Aug. 28. After the
religious delegates had spoken, Gen
eral Kaledines, leader of the Don
Cossacks, representing the council
of Cossacks, mounted the tribune of
the national conference today ami
read a resolution adopted by the Cos
sacks demanding, above everything,
for the salvation of the country, the
continuation of the war until com
plete victory was attained, in close
union with the allies. General Kal
dines proposed, with the same end in
view, the following measures:
First Placing the army outside of
politics. t
Second The suppression of regi
mental committees and councils and
the restriction of the functions of
those which may be maintained with
a purely economic mission.
Third Revision of the declaration
of soldiers rights.
Fourth Reinforcing discipline by
strong measures and the application
of those measures to the districts in
the rear.
Fifth Restoration of the rights of
commanders to inflict punishment
The reading of the resolution was
punctuated by cheers from the right
and by some protests from the left.
Men With Pay Roll Killed
And Robbed by Chicago Bandits
Chicago, Aug. 28. Two men, car-
rying$8,100, the pay roll ot the Wins
low Brothers' Iron works, were shot
to death in front of the plant today
by five bandits, who escaped with
the money in an automobile.
Louis Osenberg and Barton Allen,
the slain pay roll messengers, were
returning from a bank in an automo
bile. As they stopped in front of the
entrance fo the iron works a car con
taining the robbers drew up.
Three of the bandits leaped from
the machine and opened fire with re
volvers. Osenberg and Allen fell with
bullets in their heads. The bandits
fired more than twenty shots. A
score of pedestrians witnessed the
killing.
Greek Parliament Votes
Confidence in Government
Athens, Aug. 28. A vote of confi
dence in the government was passed
in Parliament today at the conclu
sion of the debate on the speech from
the throne. Premier Venizelos spoke
for six hours. The majority report
on the speech was aceepted and the
chamber adopted a resolution extend
ing greetings to Serbia.
"Stecher is now anxious to make
good, and that is the only reason that
he has decided to tackle Plestina in
this match. He knows that if he can
beat him that there will be no other
nut too hard for him to crack.
"Pete Loch is wrong when he says
that no man can ever come back
after a defeat and be as good as he
was. It may be true about some
'has-beens' where the age got the
best of them, but I think Joe Stecher
is a long way from being a has-been.
Frank Gotch, Tom Jenkins, Mah
mout, Stanley Zbyszko and many
others, who all have suffered a re
verse at some time, all turned out to
be great wrestlers. I could also point
out similar cases in the boxing game
and even where Plestina himself had
a slump at one time, and yet he is
better now than ever before.
"Joe has been working hard for his
Labor day match, and he shows up
in training better than he ever did
before. 1 can't see anything but a
victory for Joe and a disappointment
for Pete Loch, ' Plestina's manager."
