ROURKES DROP TWO
MORE TO BOOSTERS
Tailend Coon Creekers Cap.
ture Both Ends of Sabbath
Double Bill and Make
' Sweep of Series!
' The Rourkes blew their chances for
the pennant yesterday when they
wound up the season at home by
dropping both ends of a bargain bill
to the tailend Boosters. The first
game went to Des Moines, 2 to 1,
after ten innings, and Jhe second one
was captured by the visitors, 4 to 1,
in seven innings. Coffey's men by the
twin victory made a clean sweep of
the four-game series. s
The first fray was a nifty pitching
duel between Men and Payne and
if one wanted to be mean the blame
for the defeat might be shifted to
the 'umps. A close decision, which
appeared to be wrong, gave Des
Moines the winning tally in the ,tenth.
... Omaha scored one run in the sec
ond inning of the first game on Yard
ley's single, Brottem's ' sacrifice and
Park's hit, and with Mere bowling
along in fancy style, the game was
was 1 to 0 at the end of the seventh.
i But in the eighth Jack Coffey poled
s mighty double to left and scored
on Spahr's single. , y
: Lose in Jenth.
The game went into the tenth.
Spahr opened that frame with hit,
but was iorced out by Payne. This
made Payne mad so he swiped sec
1 ond, and when Brottem'n throw was
- bad continued to third. Ewoldt hit
a close " grounder to Krug. Krug
; didn't play -the ball very well, but
even so it seemed Ewoldt was oui
The umps, however, called him safe
and Payne scored the winning run.
The Boosters leaped on Marty
O'Toole in the first inning of the sec
ond game and salted the fray with
two runs, as U JJoul refused to per
, mit the Rourkes to do any hitting.
Yardley was knocked out in the
first game in sliding .into second and
was unable to play in the second pas
i time.
The Rourkes gc to St. Joseph to
day for four games. Then they jour
ney to Des Moines for another four
: .-in!e rfes to close the season next
Sunday. ;,, y;,

To Eeport Race Riot
Belleville. Iill., Sept 9. Mayor
Mollman of East St. Louis, III., was
indicted yesterday on t charge of
- malfeasance in office. The grand
jury recommended that Mollman be
removed from office.
.The indictment charges that at the
-time of the recent race riots in East
St Louis the mayor failed to call on'
the sheriff of St. Clair county and on
the governor for assistance in pre
serving order as soon as he should
have done. ,
Maurice Ahern, secretary to the
mayor, also was indicted on t charge
of conspiracy with the rioters. This
charge is based on the accusation that
he instructed the police to prevent
photographers from taking pictures
of the riot scenes, thus interfering
with the collection of the most valu
able evidence. ' i '

Wolf Dined Off Si.
Louis Pastor's Shin
Rev. Dr. Thomas C. McNary, pas
tor of the Northminster Presbyterian
church, St. Louis, is probably the only
clergyman in the United State whn
can exhibit two deep scars from wolf l';r'f
k:... ...u:i. I : j ... . i y-rey,ci
mice, wiui.il uc ictcivcu on me streets
of Chicago, ; - 1 ' .
Nor does Dr. McNarv belonsr to the
modern ilk of "converted" circus per
formers, prize fighters, or ball players.
It was as a plain American citizen, a
bashful young Pennsylvanian study
ing in McCormick Seminary to fit
himself for his life-calling, that the
young man met, saw and conquered
the wolf on the streets of Chicago.
And if one has any doubts as to the
young theologue's valor or veracity,
an eye witness exists in Rev. .Dn
Francis W. Russell, nastnr of th
West Presbyterian church of St,
Louis, also a young student at that
time. ,.
Tom McNary, the theologue, was
faking a stroll through Lincoln park,
Chicago, with Russell as his com
panion, and they passed in front of,
the zoo, at the moment a wolf, vicious
from( long restraint; burst its bars.
It was up and at them in a moment,
snapping young McNary's shins, f
Russell had a brilliant idea, stimu
lated by the fact that his toft gray
mackintosh was on his arm. He tried
to smother the beast, catching him
up in a roll just as the wolf made a
dash for Russelt'a breast.
"No use hurting the poor fellow,"
the humane Russell declared. "We
can drop him back over the wall."
But the drop back was elusive, and
the wolf again emerged,1 to finish his
meal off McNary's ankles. Neither
young man had any weapon, and they
simply fought the wolf off with their
fists. Several persons watched, in
cluding one of the zoo keepers, but
no one offered assistance, perhaps on
the principle that wolves in one form
or another are. always to be found in
Chicago.
After a valiant struggle, the park
was at last made safe for democracy
and the young men retreated, Mc
Nary weak and bleeding. It was near
commencement time, and the young
man took two weeks' rest for the re
pair of his nerves. When- he was
ordained, he limped a little. The wolf
ran away, but finally was killed. St

To Save Berlin's Fuel,
(By Associated' Press.)
Washington, Sept. 9. Price of $2.20
a bushel for wheat, fixed by President
Wilson, will be maintained, . it has
been made clear by the food adminisV
iiion, aespite isolated protests irom
farming interests that the figure iV
too lo,w. Virtually the only objection
of any consequence, it . was said,, has
arisen in North Dakota, where the
crop was unusually poor.,
North Dakota farmers are demand
ing $3 a bushel for their' wheat nd
are asking for removal of the food
administration's regulations designed
to prevent speculation. They particu
larly object to restrictions against ele
vators storing grain more than thirty
days.
. Dr. R. A. Pearson, assistant tw the
secretary of agriculture, is just back
from a trip throughout the west with
a report that he found the wheat
price generally acceptable except in
communities where croos were fkr
. a '
oeiow normal. , -
farmers Get 33 Per Cent More.
The result of the nrice fixed, fond
administration officials say, is that the
iarmer win receive aoout JJ per cent
more a bushel than last year. On the
other hand, through arrangements
made for the elimination of specula
tion and to control distribution, the
consumer should, they contend, ob
tain, a saving of at least $3 a barrel
on, flour, or 20 per cent under the
average of the last four months,
i Herbert Hoover, the food adminis
trator, foresees some actual suffering
among farmers in North Dakota and
in localities in other states, whatever
the price. The failure in some dis
tricts, he said today, means that some
growers will lose money.
Food Officials Stand Pat.
'"The plan generally," he said, "is
running smoothly, except for the nec
essarily expected local misunderstand
ings and the food administration will
not depart one iota from the prices
determined on by the president for
S3.

wheat will flow regularly to flour-consuming
centers and to thallies. '
The arrangements made by the rail
roads permit their handling wheat
more rapidly this year than last.' So
