Central High school's 1918 foot ball .schedule was announced late yester day by Coach Mulligan. It includes six home games and four in hostile territory. North Des Moines High school is a new name on the Omaha school's schedule. This is due to the classy brand of foot ball exhibited iast year by the Des Moines school. The Lincoln game will be at Lin coln this ear. The St. Joseph game will be in Omaha on turkey day. Even this far ahead the contest with the Joetown lads is looked forward to as one of the hardest of the coming sea , soil. A game will be played every week during the season in order to play all tlie games on the rather long schedule. No rest will coine, even be fore the St. Joseph game, which will be piayed only five days after the Beatrice contest. Although Central High will lose many of its Missouri Valley champs when the June graduation comes around, several grid demons will be left to form the nucleus of a new championship eleven. A. Logan will captain the team. Eaton, Nobles Hall, Wiley and Swoboda,are good back field men from which to form the secondary defense. Russell, A. Logan, Crowell, Shafer' and Moser are "O." men who will help build up a stone wall line. With such a husky bunch left him, Coach Mulligan will have a good start toward the valley cham pionship for the third consecutive year. v No Base Ball. Prospects of good seasons comes from other branches of athletics also. Base ball, however, will be an excep tion. Captain Joe Wolf announces that because of the lack of a coach, pitcher, diamond and other essentials, Central High will have no team this year. Prospects for track are unusually bright. After much hard work, Coach Mulligan and Coach Bob llager of Lincoln have set May 4 as the date lor the state track meet at Lincoln Central High has a hue bunch to send to the Capital City, although ackiiig "Chuck Morearty, Noble, Maxwell, Paynter,. Crowell, the Lo gan brothers. Konecky, Nelson and Carson, are the ones who will prob- ibly make the trip. The date for the inter-class track net lias again been changed. The late now set is Alril 26. The. seniors ire doped to win with the juniors in scrnnH The followincr events are Carded: The 10-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 440-yard dash, mile and half mile relays, broad jump, high jump, discus, shot put, p,ole vault, mile run and hurdles. Nelson of Nebraska City Is a new sprl.iter who will enter the mile and half mile runs. Carson and Maxwell are likely winners of the hurdles. ; ,.v Lincoln Dual Meet. The dual meet with Lincoln will be held at Lincoln Saturday. Omaha track men have been training hard for this event, in which - they hope once more to beat their old rivals and wipe out, if possible, the defeat hand ed them at the basket ball tourney. The boys' tennis tourney, wjll begin in the middle of May. Warren Ege, champion, has been graduated, which will leave Howard Green and Albert Jeft'eris, runner-up last year, to fight for the school honors, if the dope is put right. Bob Buckingham, junior city champ, and Will Nicholson, to gether with Green and Jefferis, are planning on forming a team to rep resent Central High in a state tourney at Lincoln. Bob Russell has left for the wheat fields and will, therefore, be unable to pull in any points for the Purple and White at the track meets. Louis Rockwell, another sprinter, has left the school for the artillery division of Uncle Sam's army. The girls' tennis tourney is under ivay. Elizabeth Patton won in two straight games from Frances Rnss io 'he first' match played. Eleanor Ham ;iton, winner of the fall tourney; Mmily Mulfinger, runner-up; Ruth Hatteroth and Evelyn Stallard are oicked to achieve the semi-finals. Cahn and Symes Will Meet Monday Night for Cue Title Al Cahn and Harry Symes will clash in a 300-point 18.2 balkline match for the billiard championship of Nebraska Monday night at Symes' parlors. Cahn recently won the title from Symes by defeating the latter 300 to 171. Symes, however, believing his form was off, immediately challenged Cahn to a return match, which was pranted. Brown Outfielder Starts Home to Answer War Call St. Louis, April 13. Kenneth Wil liams, outfielder with the St. Louis Americans, left today for Grant's Pass, Ore., his home, where on April 26 he will answer a call for the army draft. Williams came from the Pa ll ific Coast league at the close of last season. Wyckoff Shows Class. Pitcher J. Weldon Wyckoff, who has been in and out of the big show several time;, is showing some high class twirling in practice with the Red Sox. Boxer Wounded.

UN GAMES CENTRAL GRIDIRON Western Pop Bottle Target 8 Are Named President Dickerson of the Western league announces his appointments of umpires to serve during the 1918 cam paign. The fouri pop-bottle dodgers are Spike Shannon of St. Paul, Johnny Mullen of Pittsburgh and Con Daly and Matty Fitx patrick of Chicago. The single umpire system will be used as a measure of economy. In order to save further, no extra or relief um pire has been named so that in case of illness or a mixup in orders which prevents an um pire from appearing, the tedms will have to find their own judges of play. FOUR AMATEUR LEAGUES START SEASON TODAY Greater Omaha, American, Booster and Inter-City Loops Pry Off Lid; City Next Sunday. By FRANK QUIGLEY. Once again Jake Isaacson, the old reliable president of the O. A. B. A. is going over the top and- delivering the groceries. In spite of unnurnber able obstacles and thousands of pes semists trying to discourage him 'be cause of the scarcity of players he has arranged for four leagues to be gin hostilities today. The other league will open the gates next Sun day. Because of conditions across the waves the base ball market is ex ceedingly bearish. These are the leagues thafwill start business today: Greater Omaha, Inter-City, Booster and American. The Greater Omaha will loop the loop with seven teams. It will be necessary for one squad to battle in foreign territory each Sunday. The Beselins drew the ticket today, but Manager Macey decided it was a trifle early for trouble in the gungles, so he booked a row for Miller park. Here is the schedule for' today: Armous vs. Murphys, Luxus park; Metcalfs vs. Longeways, Athletic park; Krajiceks vs. Holmes, Holmes park. The City league will be ready for business next Sunday. American Makes Grade. As expected the American league will make the grade with six fast clubs. Heretofore it has been cus tomary to donate the Class B cham pionship to the City league at the jump off, but according to Secretary Frank Delehanty the City league champs will find the Ameriacn boys a starchy proposition this fall. Under the supervision of Umpire Frank Holmes the Booster league will" float in with seven teams, six of which, will battle today. Arrange ments have been completed for an other gang to join this fast Class C organization and it will be equipped with eight teams" next Sunday. The schedule has been 'arranged to cover the -belated squad. ; Inter-City Ready. With, boss Patrick Boyle on deck the following teams. will -battle -for the medal in the Inter-City league, Krajiciks Jrs., Dresner Brothers, Phillips Department Store, Daily News and Social Settlement Consid ering their class these teams are fast and a dandy race is looked for in this the Baby organization of the associa tion. Nothing unique has been planned for today , amnog the amateurs and Jhe only gata stuff will be the brand ot base bail dished up by tup ex ponents of the- game. ' Umpires Appointed. - Chief Supervisor Jawn Gonding of the Municipal, umpires is ready for the bell to ring. He has secured the fol lowing tried and found guilty in dicator handlers: Arthur Moran, Frank Jacobs, Tom McQuade, Louis Rocher, Joe Watiley and H. Erickson. These fellows have had a world of ex perience with sandlotters, .conse quently the sailing, although the path is rocky should be easy for them. Earl Higgins, president of the Greater Omaha league has picked the following gents to do the czar work, namely Billiam Fox, Frank Holmes and James McAndrews. With such capable men Boss Higgins should not have much trobule. Sandlot Gossip. Two clever middle rushion artists lire basoballically dead, George Graham and John .EVcts. Anyway, the Itrandeis squad will be ln- tact until the next draft. Harry Bressman, formerly with the Hollye, Is now the boss of a bunch of pill tossers at Camp Funston. Huke will be ready to dodge pop.bottles for Jawn Gonding about May 1. Onle Shannon, who used to perform on the sandlots with the Omaha Brewery asso ciation died last week. Pneumonia was the ag-!nt. After staging a game come-back last sea on, George Kennedy has fallen by the wysidae. There are two Social Settlement teams. Qv In the American league and the other in thelnter-City. With AI Konecky as a general the Town pfnda should shoot close o the top in the Unrster league. The ' question before the house Is, Can Ptacey trim Lacy? Stacey is the boss of the TleselifM and Lacy has charge of the Holmes White Sox. Some Class A troupe should hook Joseph Adams. The percentage of earned runs per game off this southpaw's delivery Is annual ly is very small It Is a cinch that If Goodron can get his curve ball to breaking properly he will be a sensation. He is working for the Na tional Cnfih Registers. The army landed a real performance for the hot corner when Millard Durkee was ushered into service. Abe Sampson is a candidate for a berth with a fast team. Pouglas 276 will corner him. To date the only crew that Bert McAn drews has signed with is the navy. Queries are going the rounds relative to Joedy Gillham. So far he has not signed up. At corner two Harry Williams will pickle the cherries for thet Brandels troupe. Jt Is strange that the proposed Knights and Ladles of Security team has not ma terialized. Until he Is ealled for service Boss will be stationed behind the stick for the Holmes White Sox. Although the Chicago White Sox did not lose a single regular via the draft, the Holmes White .Sox cannot kick through with the same story. ' ' - Walter Spellman, th sensation behind the stick for the Holmes White Sox. is now somewhere "over there." lumpen ujuci ue ut'itu ns nas nn heard the call of the municipal chief, Jawn Chink Tompsett must be deaf. He has not Gonding. Four Members 4 - Omaha Pfatt, catcher. J. It's All Off; Great Alex Must Answer Call of His Country Lincoln, Neb., April 13. Grover Cleveland Alexander, star base ball pitcher for the Chicago National league club, has been called to go in the next draft quota to Camp Funston, a telegram from the chairman of the county exemption board at St. Paul, Neb., Alexander's home, said this afternoon. The telegram, addressed to the Lincoln office of the Associated Press, follows: ' "Grover Cleveland Alexander called to go in next quota, but he is not officially notified as we are not yet informed by provost marshal just when they will entrain for Camp Funston. "L. H. ATWOOD, Chairman of Local Board." BOY WONDER SOUGHT BY MANY CLUBS SIGNS WITH ROURKES Van Gilder, Kid Who Played With Bloomington Last Year, Signs Omaha Contract; Wanted By Chicago Cubs, Giants, and Other Big League Teams; Due to Go Up. A boy wonder, so tight by the Chicago Cubs, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Columbus American association club and several other teams in the major and Class AA leagues, was landed by Bellicose Bill Jackson, manager of the Rourkes. , The boy wonder answers to the name of E. R. Van Gilder. He hails from Cape Girardeau, Mo. He pitched last year for Bloomington in the Three-I league. A rookie rule existed last year in the Three-I league and Bloomington, in scouting the tall and uncut for tal ent which could be described as pure ly rookie, found Van Gilder. He was pitching amateur ball in the wilds of Missouri and looked as though he had never in his life seen a pavement. But he knew all about pitching, as the Three-I sluggers soon found out. Van Gilder stands about six feet two, throws a fast one like a cannon ball and makes his curves jump quicker than a flash of lightning. SCOUTS TUMBLE. He was such "a sensation in the Three-I that Charley Barrett, one of the best scouts in the business, air most broke his leg getting an offer in to the Bloomington management. The Chicago Cubs also tried to get Van Gilder. But Bloomington had a working agreement with the Giants and in tended to send Van Gilder to Mc Graw. Then the laague blew up and Van Under became a free agent. The big kid pitcher immediately be came the most popular person in Cape Girardeau and he received more mail than the village bank. Every club in the business tried to get the kid. But Van Gilder wasn't sure where he wanted to play; he wasn't even sure he wanted to play. So no body got him. Reports April 14. Jackson entered the race last fall. He wrote a ton of letters to Van Gilder. Since he arrived in Omaha less than a mo'nth ago he has writ-t ten half a dozen letters to the youngr ster. Yesterday Van Gilder wrote Jackson a letter saying he would re port here April 15. . Incidentally Bill Rourke was among those who tried to land Van Gilder. Bill heard about the boy last fall and when he went to the Louisville con vention in Notember he stopped off in St. Louis and called Van Gilder up" over long distance telephone. That was before Rourke had considered Jackson as manager of the Rourkes, so when Bill told him yesterday that Van Gilder was coming to Omaha, , . 1f l1e. ymana magnate almost tell Out I of his chair. of Rourke Family Who Will Represent in Western League Pennant Above: Manager Bill Jackson.

John I'es.ek, the Shelton mat artist, will not have to go far from home to take on a match to a finish, provided he is willing to stage such a performance for a $2,000 purse. For that s the sum Grover Yoder, man ager of Jack Taylor, former Canadian champion, is willing to post that the latter can defeat. Pesek. Yoder puts no strings to. his offer and states that Taylor will accept the offer of Pesek to wrestle,' winner take all, or any other financial arrange ment. "The only possible dravfback may be the amount we can post. We do not happen to have $10,000 or $15,000 in loose change lying about, but all there is of it will back the bie Cana dian and I am ready to post $2,000 if Slattery sayj the word," stated Yoder here. Pesek and Taylor met in November of 1916 and at that time Taylor pinned Pesek to the mat in 14 min utes, Yoder says. Tiey then wres tled for over half an hour and the match was called off for no other rea son than that the backers of Pesek felt "something slioning." Tavlor de clares. At Grand Island, several weeks ago, ihey met again, Pesek se curing, the. first fall, and then both men 6tayinsr their time out. Tavlor stated that ht would be ready to take fesek on tor a finish within three or four weeks if $2,000 could induce him to accept this challenge.

Prvnklent Rickey was said to havs held his ulnr to be worth manjr thousands of dollars. Although his failure to stun was not at tributed, with authority, to this situation, It Is known that President Rickey vlsltsd Hornby at his home and, If any concessions were demanded, met them. CINCINNATI. With two exceptions the Cincinnati Na tionals will Include In their lineup during tho ISIS season practically the same names that Braced their roster last year. Toney, their star pitcher, will probably not be with them, owing to the draft; Kopf, their regu lar shortstop, has entered the army, while a young pitcher, Edward Oerner, will like wise be missed, having entered the service l.f the United Rtates. Both Kdpf and Oer ner are recorded "voluntary retirement" on the Cincinnati, club books. . Hut even with these players out, the lineup win look not -unlike that of last year. As a li'Sd off, Heinle Oroh will be found In his old place at third base, while EHrle Nale the left fielder, will be aeo ond In the batting order. Then will come Kdilie Roush, champion hitter of the Na tional leaaue. who Diana cehterfleld anA the fourth man will be Hat Chase, the guardian of the Initial lack, and himself a slugger of no mean reputation, having carried off the premier honors In this line the season before lsst. Following Chase In the batting order, unless Manager Mathewson sees fit to change the list following the northward trip from Montgomery, where the team has trained, will come Tom Griffith, right fielder, a tried and true ball player, while Russell Blackburne, last year's' utility man, will be at short In place of Kopf. Then will come the battery, and while the loss of Toney, If he Is lost, will hurt, yet the squad In this respect Is by no means one to be placed In the Ignored column. In addition to Oeorge Foster, secured from the Boston Americans, Pete Schneider, Ruether, Kller, Breseler and Mike Regsn have all shown good form at the southern training canlR, while Jacob us Is also a likely youngster. Conley is another pitcher, but It Is probable thst hs will have entered the service of Uncle Sam before the season starts. CHICAGO. ' A team 10 per cent stronger than the club of a year ago Is Manager Fred Mttoh ell's boast of the Chicago Nationals this season. The new strength of the club ap pears to be In the acquisition of drover Cleveland Alexander, the pitching star, and his battery mate, Catcher Ktlllfer, who were purchased from the Philadel phia club for 160,000; and George Tyler, a southpaw, obtained from Boston In a trade Involving I.arry Doyle. Kxperts rate Mitchell's pitching staff as one of the strongest In the league. In ad dition to Alexander, the Chicago pilot has Vaughn, Douglas, Tyler, Carter and Hen drlx as box performers. The recruit pitch ers are Harry Weaver and James Walk ers, leaders respectively In the Eastern snd Southern" leagues. Mitchell Is enthusi astic about both. BOSTON. The Inability of the management of the Boston National league club to reach sat isfactory contractual arrangements with several of the players early this spring has seriously handicapped the work of the Hquad during the southern training trip. Until these differences were adjusted the work of the Boston Braves gave Indica tion of dnrertaln playing caliber In the league race, i The situation In the Braves' Infield was complicated during the training scsson by the upset in the trade thst sent Jesse Barnes and Lnrry Doyle to the New York Olants in exchange for "Buck" Hersog and "Jimmy" Smith. Hersog was dissatisfied wtlh his contract and did not Join the Bos ton club at the spring training quarters In Miami, Fla. President Percy Houghton counted on Herzog to play shortstop, but had "Johnny"' Rawlings of the Pacific Coast league tried out at short with the Idea of fortifying the club against the pos sibility that Horzog falls to come to terms. BROOKLYN. Not even the most optimistic Brooklyn fan contends that, the Brooklyn Superbas are likely to be a formidable element In the National league race of 1 1 8. Any berth In the first division would be considered sat isfactory for the Superbas. , PITTHBUKOJT. Never In the history of base ball In Pitts burgh has the National leaguo team been so scientifically trained as this year. Under the critical guidance of Manager Hugo Bezdek there has been Injected Into the preparatory work the same tactics of condi tioning men that has successfully charac terized his career as a foot ball coach. Every man on the team has been studied as to physical limits, temperament, etc., that go toward the makeup of a first class athlete. The team looks good for a place in the first division. The draft is taken several good men from the Pittsburgh team such as Evans and Mllllgan, pitchers, while Infielder Boecker and Pitcher Ponder have enlisted, but a well-balanced team remains, consist ing of several fine young players to add to a foundation of oldtlmers. The acquisi tion of Cutshaw and Stengel from the Brooklyn club har strengthened the local team In several ways, and has bolstered up the Infield, which was very erratic In per- rmance last year. Race This Year XtZ. Steil, second baaenMn. flow the American League Clubs Will Look This Season (OobUbmiI from rage 14.) Mo., probably will tee further service In the minora. BOSTON. Tn enlistment ot players and the trades made during the last winter leava the Bos ton' American league team a mora or ) uncertain quantity at the beginning m the Hit pennant season. Much depends aMpn the ability of Manager Ed Barrow, lk new field general, to build up a snteotb working machine, particularly In tho Infield, The Red Sox havo two Infield stars, "Stuffy" Mclnnis and Jobnny Evers, but Mclnnls Is being tried out at third base In placa of his regular position at the Initial' sack and there Is doubt regarding Evers' ability to regain the form which made him tho best known of all second haaemen a few years ago. IJsve Shean, formerly of the Cincinnati team, will be available, however, as a re sult of the trade which sent Oeorge Foster to Cincinnati, NEW YORK, The prospects of a successful year for the New York Americans from tho stand point of a pennant factor hinges apparently upon the ability of the pitching staff. In every other department the Yankees appear far stronger than was the case one year ago. Both the Infield and outfield should be more effective In fielding and batting than last season and the catching end ot the batteries is fully up to the standard of the past. The new manager of the club, Miller Hug gins, realises that the hurling corpa la not as formidable ss the Other sections of the team but If the pitchers can be developed In steadiness and effectiveness It la pos sible that tho offensive and defensive strength of the team as a whole will offset any weakness In this direction. During the 1(17 campaign much high olass twirl ing qn the part of Yankee boxman went for naught owing to the Inability of the team to score even one or two runs. ST. LOUIS. A rejuvenated olub will ba St. Louis' In the American league base ball race this season. Among the several contributing causes to this condition are the lack of harmony among the players last season which made Imperative a rearrangement of personnel, demands upon the players for army service and a disposition by the management to see what new timber It might find through the medium of trades. Business Manager Qulnn is credited with negotiating the several trades which brought new faces Into many American league camps. Early In the year ho an nounced that Pratt, second baseman, and Plank, veteran pitcher, has bean traded to the New York Americans In return (or whom the locals received Nunamaker, Malael, Hhoeker, Cullop and Oetleon. An other trade sent 8hotton, outfielder, and I-avan, (hortstop, to the Washington Amer icans wfth Galla, pitcher, and a cash con sideration given in return for them, A three cornered deal sent Lee Magee, upon whom waivers has been asked, from St. Louis to the Cincinnati Nationals, who In turn gave a player to the New York Americana, Hen dry x-. outfielder, was given to the Browns by the Yankees. Peter Johns was pur chased outright from the Columbus Ameri can association club, as was Williams from the Portland club of the Paciflo Coast league. Tho acquisition of Olahn from a Kentucky bush league and Lelfleld from the St. Paul American association olub added two new pitchers to the roster. Ad ditions to the pitching staff were necessary because of the enlistment of Koob In avia tion service, the decision ot Wellman to retire from the game for a year and the trading of Plank. Jack Powell, veteran pitcher In several leagues, early announced his Intention to come back and has been tolling In training csmp to that end. PHILADELPHIA. Despite tho fact that the last winter saw the last of tho regulars disappear from the club, much la expected by the Philadelphia fans of Connie Mack's Athletics this season. Nothing but optimism pervades tbe team, and while no pennant aspiration Is claimed, the followers of the club expect to sea a greatly Improved club, one that will make a far better record than those ot the tire ceding three years, when the Athletics fin ished at tbe tall end of the prooesalon. During the winter Connie Mack ahunted to other clubs Stuffy Mclnnls, the last member of the former world's champions' great Infield; Amos -8trunk, one of the best outfielders In the American league; Joe Bush, the sterling pitcher, and Wally Shang, a good catcher and a very handy fielder. WASHINGTON. Manager Griffith of the Washington American bsse ball club recently remarked that his team had a chance of finishing anywhere It the draft did not take any mere of his men and would probably finish nowhere if the call continued. If Sam Rica, the best batter on the team, fallal of ex emption the team will have received a body blow, but there Is still a chance of Rice coming bark. The addition of Out fielder Bert 8hotton and Shortstop Lavan, secured during the winter from St. Louis, has undoubtedly strengthened the Senators In spots where they were weak last sea son, whlrh with the well known strength of the pitching staff, headed by Walter Johnson, should land the outfit in the first division. CADDOCK VICTOR IN MATCH WITH FITHJ CHAMPION Speed and Head Work Win for Camp Dodge Wrestler Against Greater Strength and Weight. Des Moines, April 13. Sergeant Earl Caddock of Camp Dodge dis posed of another challenger of his , claim to the world's wrestling chain- ' pionship here, tonight, when he threw John Olin, Finland's premier mat man, in two straight falls. It was a match replete with thrills, Caddock taking the first fall in 54 minutes 10 seconds, with a torturous toe hold and the second in 10 minutes and ten seconds through use of a head scissors and bar arm hold. From the start the superiority of the national army man was evident irl his squirming from what few holds his opponent obtained and clampings on powerful grasps in a manner that had Olin baffled. Speed and head work won for Cad dock ' against the Finn's greater ' strength and weight, and the combi nation furnished some spectacular mixing before the Iowan, putting r pressure on a painful toe hold, forced ' his opponent to concede the fall. Caddock was behind or atop Olin ... 46 minutes in the struggle for the first fall, while the latter played that posi tion for about six minutes. In the second fall which followed, Caddock forced matters every minute. It was the third embryonic cham pion Caddock has eliminated in five months, the two previous being Yus- , sif Hussane, the Bulgarian, and VVIadek Zbyszko, the giant Pole. ffsK 1 THESE AMAZING BARGAINS MONDAY They offer you a chance to se cure fine quality Spring cloth.
