.' The' Murphy " Did ' Its, Class B
amateur' champions of Omaha for
two seasons, are' going v to invade
Class A circles next year.
Bert Murphy, backer of the Murphy
Did It crew, believe his lads make up
the fastest little ball team around
these part and that with a strengthen,
itifjt spike. or two they will be of suf
ficient class to give any Class A team
a run for its money. '
The Murphy s, as they stand now,
are almost of Class A caliber and
local sarrdlot Jans believCthey will
make good in the superior classifica
tion. It is probable the Murphy's will
apply for a berth in the Greater
Omaha league. -
By winning the Class B champion
ship of Omaha two ! years running,
the Murphy's bet permanent posses
sion of the Townserid cup. To win
this trophy, the Murphys twice won
the City league pennant and then de
feated the pennant winners in i,he
Metropolitan and American leagues.
Even though going into Class A,
bert Alurphy will probably retain Joe
Mqcan as his manager and the ma
jority of the players who made up his
1916 and 4917 ;teanis.
South High Drills for
v Opening Contest Friiday
Coach Patton of South High is run
ning his men through stiff drills pre
paratory to the . opening foot ball
game of the season against Blair Fri
day at Luxus park. Rugie, star tackle
on last year's eleven, and ' captain
elect this year, will not attend school,
but Patton has filled this vacancy with
Macisetll, .one of his promising re
cruits. A captain will probably be
elected sometime "during the week. ;
Working against, obstacles, Fatton
has worked up anXexceptionally good
team. The line, which is made' up
almost entirely of , new 'men - will
average 150 pounds and the backfietd
will not exceed 140 pounds. The num.
ber of new recruits turning out each
night is gradually increasing. i Patton
hopes to have a team that will have
established a name for itself in state
circles. Season tickets are now on
sale at the school for the four games
that are to be played at home for 50
cents each. These are the four most
important games, Central High being
included among them.
Coach Jones Bewails Lack :
Of Heavy Men at Iowa
Iowa City, la., Sept 25. Coach
Jones still is in doubt over the lineup
of the University of Iowa's foot ball
team. He has been working two elev
ens every day, but it is in need of
stronger forward walls and several
heavier men. His tentative first team
now includes seven veterans. Captain
Davis, half; Jenkins, quarter: Hunzel-
man, tackier Kelley, guard; Hamilton,
fullback: Nunt. half: Reed. nr!
Bender is the other end and O'Donnell
ana McNtchoIs the other guard and
tacxie. xmock, a sophomore from Dav
jenport, is doing Veil at center.'
Cincinnati, O., Sept. 25. Boston
won the first, game of a double header
here today by hitting Reuther ind
Bressler almost at will and piling up a
total of thirteen runs while Tyler al
lowed only six; widely scattered hits
and no runs.
The second game eveloped.into a

Result of Hearing in Washing,
ten is That Acceptance of
Contract Will Be Prob-

t . .
(From a Staff Corrtfspondent.)
Washington,' Sept. 25. (Special
Telegram.) In a conference lasting
two hours yesterday the representa
tives farmers holding under the can.
al in Scottsbluff and Harlan counties,
Nebraska, and the attorneys 'for the
bondholders endeavored to iron out
their differences. Instead of what
was anticipated, r. quiet meeting of the
representatives, the hearing took
on a stern judicial aspect and the ar
ray of talent present plus the pres
ence of three members of the house,
gave-an interest to a case that has all
the ear marks of becoming a cause
colebre -
' , Many at Hearing.
In addition to the presence of Rep
resentatives Kinkaid, Sloan and
Reavis, there were L. L. Raymond of
Scottsbluff and Charles P. Craft of
Aurora, representing the farmer's in
terests. , : ' i
Mr. Wright, the resident repre
sentative of. the bondholders, was
present, associated with Judge J. J.
Sullivan of Omaha, who was instru
mental in working out the so-Called
Omaha agreement which is now the
bone of contention on the part of the
bondholders. Attorneys . Hawkins
and Donham of New York, together .
with Mr. Alexander, one of the larg.
est bondholders, completed the New
York end of the controversy. The
hearing was before Mr. Bradley, as-"
sistant to Secretary, Lane of the De
partment of the Interior, the .depart
ment being still further represented
by Messrs. King and David of the
Reclamation Service and Solicitors
Finney and Mehaffey. , .
v Speculate on Outcome. :
. The main contention of the at
torneys for the bondholders was that
the Nebraska statute passed for the
express purpose of permittiag the dis-
trict to enter into a contract with the
bondholders was unconstitutional.
Later it-devcloped that even tbouglv
the act was declared constitutional,,
the bondholders were seeking better
terms than contained in the Omaha
agreement. Congressman Reavis
contended that it was the duty of the
secretary of the interior to approve
the contract, which position Repre
sentative Sloan amplified by having
a good natured "run in" with Judge
Sullivan. ;
" As a result of the hearihg it is be
lieved that . Assistant 'Secretary Brad
ley will recommend to the secretary
the contract be .accepted unless in
the meantime the representatives of
the severatinterests'get together and
formulate a contract that will be ac
ceptable to, everybody, '

Food Shortage Makes Milk . -:
; Conservation Imperative
While Ford J. Allen, general dairy
agent for the Northwestern, does not
take a pessimistic view of the milk '
and butter situation, he urges con
servation , upon the part of consum.
ers. '. ' ',.' .
Mr. Allen -'makes the entire terri- '
tory through which the Northwestern
operates and is in the city from the -Chicago
headquarters, having come
.here after a trip through Wisconsin ' '
and Minnesota. He finds that the
number of milk-producing cows is
about the same as last year, but, ow
ing to a shortage of feed in many lo--
calrties, there is likely to be a'deW
emeu - snortage during the -coming
winter.
