CAMP DODGE TO
PLAY OMAHA IN
BENEFIT TODAY
Earl Caddock and Gibbons
Brothers, Originally Schedul
ed to Appear, Ordered to
Remain in Camp.
Today is Military Day at Rourke
park.
The base ball team of the 351st
field hospital division of Camp Dodge
will play the Omaha Western league
. club in a benefit game for the Camp
Dodge athletic fund.
Three events were originally sched
uled to make up the program. In addi
tion to the ball game, Earl Caddock
' world's champion wrestler, and Mike
, and Tommy Gibbons were scheduled
- to give exhibitions. An eleventh-hour
, wire was received yesterday, however,
; announcing that Caddock and Gib
bons had been ordered to remain in
camp by the Camp Dodge com
mander.
Changes in Plans.
The disappointment of Caddock
nd Gibbons has necessitated several
changes in the program. Instead of
ttarting at 2 p. m., the hall game will
Start at 3:15, the regular starting
nour.
Prices of admission alsoiave been
changed. Regular prices will be
charged; 30 cents to the bleachers and
50 cents to the grandstand, including
Rar tax. Persons who had purchased
tickets at the advanced scale of prices
ran get tncir money refunded at Bar
katow Brothers.
Camp Dodge has a formidable dia
mond aggregation and is calculated
to put up a stiff battle against the
Kourkcs, if it does not adminster
a dose of de'eat to the local athlete
. The soldier pitching staff is all that
could be desired and inchides two
former majoi leaguers. They are
Sheehan, formerly of Connie Mack'j
tthletics, and Rustenhaven, formerly
of the New York Giants. Sheehan
last Sunday pitched five innings
against the Minneapolis team and held
the Millers scoreless and allowed only
one hit. The Rourkes will have to
be on their mettle to combat this kind
of hurling.
All Ex-Professionals.
The rest of the team consists al
most entirely of ex-professionals.
McCarthy, centerfielder, is another
former New York Giant. Art
Ewoldt, who played third base for
. the pennant winning Des Moines
. team in the Western league last year,
is another Camp Dodger. Tierney
played with Kansas City this spring
until he was called into the army
about a month ago. He plays sec
end for the army team. Players from
the Central association, Three-I
, league, Western association, Central
' Northe ' league, Southern
' - ie!'.ig? 'league, Kansas State league
and several other minor organiza
tion! and one or two college men
make up the balance of the team.

"Tip" Long in Omaha on
Short Furlough From Navy
Clifford "Tip" Long, former Creigh
ton foot ball shining light, and Omaha
amateur base ball star, has arrived in
Omaha from Minneapolis, Minn., on
a seven-day furlough. "Tip" enlisted
in the hospital corps of the navy,
June R and was stationed at Goat
island, San Francisco, for six months.
On account of a high ranking in a
competitive examination, he was sent
to the University of Minnesota to
take a special course of intensive
training to become head of a base
hospital ward. This course will last
for four months. June 1 he will be
transferred to a seaboard hospital.
Long was one of the most brilliant
quarterbacks who ever wore a Creigh
ton uniform, and made a renutatinn
for himself on the coast as a member
of the navy team. He has also played
behind the bat with several amateur
base ball organizations. In 1916 he
was one of the heaviest hitters and
most consistent player on the Mur-phy-Did-It
team.

PROTECT WILD
FOWL INSTATE
Omaha Sportsman Interests
Congressman Lobeck in Pass
ing Enabling Act of Treaty
With Canada.
Washington Bureau et The
Omaha lice, 1211 O Street.
EDGAR S. SNYDER.
Washington, April 20. (Special.)
M. C. Peters of Omaha, who is an
enthusiastic lover of the great-out
doors and a champion protectionist
of the migratory fowl, has written a
letter to Congressman Lobeck. in
which he asked his assistance in pass
ing the enabling act ot the United
States-Canada treaty, protecting the
migratory game birds that pass across
this country.
"Many of our people," says this
well known nimrod, who by the way,
is one of the deputy game wardens
of Nebraska, "cannot get away from
their homes for an extensive trip and
t hev take their recreation in huntine.
"There is nothing better for a man
than close communion with nature,
and I am working hard to encourage
everything that pertains to game
protection. At present every one is
so concerned in the war that we can
do nothing towards introducing into
the state some new wild fowls to
beautify our prairies. I hope that
after the war we will be able to
bring in some pheasants to take the
place ot the prairie chickens, wnicn
are rapidly disappearing.
To Protect Birds.
"Our winters are so severe that be
fore bringing in the fowl we must
plant more brush that will grow quick
ly so the birds will have a haven
in the heavy storms. There must
be numerous kinds of edible seeds
planted. Its a big proposition and we
will not undertake it until later, but
this enabling act, whereby the birds
will be protected from the breeding
erounds to the warmer climates where
they pass the winter, will do much to
ward restoring flocks ot birds that
have been depicted."
The legislation sought by Mr.
Peters would put in force the treaty
made between the United States and
Canada as to migratory wild fowl
and creating a closed season for de
fined species. It was concluded in
Washington, August 16, 1916, and on
July 3, 1917, the senate passed the
enabling act, putting in operation the
provisions of the treaty. January 17,
1918, the senate bill was reported fav
orably from the committee on for
eign affairs of the house and is now
on the union calendar of that body, to
be called up any time the calendar
is reached.
The act which is known by Its
short title of the "Migratory Bird
Treaty Act" makes it unlawful to
hunt, take capture, kill, attempt to
take.'capture or kill, possess, offer
for sale, sell, offer to purchase, de
liver for shipment, ship, cause to be
shipped, deliver for transportation,
etc., any migratory bird included in
the terms of the convention or any
part, nest or egg of any such bird
Houston is Interestd.
Any violations of the act is a mis
demeanor and submits the offending
party to a fine of $500 or not more
than six months imprisonment. The
act also empowers the secretary of
agriculture to employ persons and
means to enforce its provisions,
The department of agriculture not
only took keen interest in the negoti
ations leading up to the treaty, but
assisted in their final conclusion.
Secretary Houston in a communica
tion to Secretary of State Lansing,
has this to say of the needs of such
legislation.
'Not very many years ago vast
numbers of waterfowl and shore-
herds nested within the limits of the
United States, especially in the far
west, but the extension of agricul
ture, and particularly the draining on
a large scale of swamps and mead
aws, together with improved fire
arms and a vast increase in the
number of sportsmen, have so altered
conditions that comparatively few
migratory game birds nest within
our limits. The greater part of the
supply still remaining, the value of
which must be estimated at millions
of, dollars, breed largely in the
Canadian provinces and consist of
birds that winter within or to the
south of the United States and
journey back and forth in autumn
and spring across our territory.
Millions of Sportsmen. '
"That a great number of people m
the United States are interested in
the protection of our migratory with
birds is evidenced by the fact that1
there are about S.006.000 sportsmen
in this country, and their number is
steadily increasing. These men are
all dependent upon the continuance
of our supply of wild fowl for their
sport, and a very large number of
them are in consequence taking an
active interest in the present treaty.
In addition, the value of the proper
protection of our migratory insec
tivorous birds is of the deepest in
terest to farmers for the practical
assistance they give in destroying
insects injurious to crops.
, "Furthermore, millions of people in
the United States are deeply inter
ested in the conservation and increase
of our bird life from an esthetic
viewpoint, as well as on account of
their practical utility. As a result,
the number of persons who approve
and are deeply interested in the con
clusion and enforcement of the
present treaty includes many millions.
There is no question but that the
federal migratory bird law and the
present treaty for the protection of
migratory wild fowl now being ne
gotiated between the United States
and Canada are conservation meas
ures of prime importance."

MW OBSTACLES FACE PROMOTERS
OF BIG RING
Protesting Citizens Ma':e Com
plaints and Colonel Miller
Demands $10,000 Bonus
at Once.
St. Paul, Minn., April 20. Colonel
C. Miller, promoter of the pro'
posed Willard-Fulton fieht. con.
ferred with Governor Burnqtiist to
day. Shortly after noon Miller an
nounced at the capitol that he would
eave tor the east tonurht. It was
understood that local negotiations
were at a standstill.
Colonel Miller said he could not
state definitely where he will go when
he leaves here tonight. He said the
location of the fight might not be de
cided for two or three weeks.
He told Governor Humanist that
the contest might draw $150,000. This,
he pointed out, would yield $15,000 to
tne state and that the government
would collect $15,000 in war tax from
ticket buyers.
More Obstacles.
The probability that the chamninn-
hip fight would be held in the Twin
Cities on July 4, dwindled to a mere
possibility today. More obstacles
were met by the promoter, Colonel
J. C. Miller.
Although Miller announced that he
would mark time until next Tuesday,
when the Minnesota safety commis
sion would formally consider the ad
visability of permitting the contest,
it became known that Miller is again
considering offers from other cities.
Numerous protests filed at the state
capitol, coupled with the announce
ment that the safety commission
would be guided by public opinion,
was one cause for uncertainty. A
statement credited to Colonel Miller
that he would insist upon the $10,000
bonus, also helped to cloud the situa
tion. Wants Guarantee.
It is understood that Miller said
he wanted this guarantee money to
immediately start work on the arena.
Some of the men interested in the
fight are reported to have taken the
position that such a move would
force Twin City enthusiasts to bear
a heavy financial loss if the fight was
called off at the eleventh hour.
Colonel Miller has intimated that
he is greatly interested in the move
to have the fight staged at Camp
Grant. Rock-ford. 111. He also sairl
that persons in Ogden, Utah, have
made him an offer.

Annapolis Midshipmen
Annapolis, M. D., April 20. Uni
versity of Pennsylvania oarsman
scored a double victory over An
napolis midshipmen, the varsity fin
ishing nearly two lengths to the good
in the fast time of 7.56'A, while the
freshmen came across a little more
than two lengths in 8:16. Both
races were rowed over the Henley
course mile and 5-16.
The time was good considering the
bad weather conditions. The navy
varsity is regarded as about the
strongest eight that Glendon has ever
developed at Annapolis and naturally
the defeat was very disappointing to
navy followers,

PESEK TO CLASH
WITH HUSSANE ON
MAT AT LINCOLN
Newest Nebraska Wrestling
Sensation Matched to Meet
Balkan Bonecrushep at
Capital May 2..
Lincoln. Neb., April 20. Whether
John Pesek of Shelton, Nebraska's
newest heavyweight wrestling sensa
tion, is entitled to a rating in the
first rank of America's heavyweight
grapplers or must be content with the
designation of 'false alarm, will be
decided, one way or the other in
Pesek's next mat engagement. The
Shelton wonder has been matched
with Yussif Hussane, famous wrest
ler from the Balkans, for Thursday
night, May 2, at the city auditorium
in Lincoln. The articles of agree
ment, approved by Martin Slattery
of bhelton, acting for resek, and
Jack Curley of New York, manager
for the Bulgarian strongman, call
for a two-fall match, with a time limit
of 2 1-2 hours and a referee s de
cision.
Pesek has been making rapid
strides toward the top of the heap
during the past few months. Jhree
weeks ago at Grand Island, the Shel
ton grappler took the measure of
Canadian Jack Taylor, pinning his
opponent for the first fall in 21 min
utes and then getting the decision
from the referee. The flopping of
Taylor has convinced the enthuiastic
followers of the Shelton boy that he
is a second Frank Gotch. They point
to i'esek s strength, speed, aggressive
ness and defensive ability as a cora
bination which even Gotch could not
match at the same age. In all events,
the Pesek fans have been putting the
pressure on Manager Mart Slattery,
who has announced that the Shelton
cyclone will first take on Hussane at
Lincoln and, if victoripus, then will
go after Zbyszko, Strangler Lewis,
Joe Stecher, Earl Caddock and all
the other top-notch heavies
Meets Tough Opponent.
In contracting to come to grips
with Hussane, the Shelton phenom
must prepare to meet a tough op
ponent. During the present mat sea
son, the Bulgarian has been doing the
best wrestling of his career. Three
months ago at Des Moines, Hussane
kept Champion Earl Caddock right
on the jump for upwards of an hour.
In fact, the official time of the first
fall was 1:03. A month later at
Madison Square Garden, New York,
Hussane carried the battle to the
Dodge county demon for an hour
and ten minutes, Stecher finally get
ting a fall by the use of his famous
scissor squeeze. By way of proving
that his game battle in Gotham was
not a scratch, Hussane collided with
Stecher at Boston only a few nights
ago and held the Nebraskan at bay
for 33 minutes past the hour.
The Hussane match should be a
real test for Pesek. On the dope, the
bout billed for May 2 in Lincoln
looks like an even break. In case
Pesek wins his manager should not
hesitate to send the Shelton boy
after all top-liners in the grappling
sport

Brandeis to Play Holmes'
Crew at Sioux City Today
Fred Bradford will take his Bran
deis team to Sioux City today for a
game there this afternoon with
Ducky Holmes' Western league club.
The Brandeis held the Rourkes to
the close score of 3 to 1 last Sunday
and Bradford declares that if his ath
letes can hoii the Rourkes down they
can wallop Sioux City. Morrie Olson
will be on the mound for the semi
pros and Morrie can be counted upon
to pitch a first class ball game, so
Bradford's prediction may come true.
At least, the Omahans' will give the
Sioux a good workout.

ONE MORE OMAHA
AMATEUR LEAGUE
IS AIM OFO.A.B.A
Directors Seek Leader Capable
of Organizing Another Class ?
B Circuit; City Loops
Start Today.
By FRANK QUIGLEY.
It is up to some intelligent dude to
organize another Class B league from
the material that has been scattered
to the winds by the magnates of thi
various teams because of the fact thai
the Omaha Amateur Base Ball asso
ciation only allowed each team to
scramble under the wire with a dozes
athletes. Although the base ball man
ket is not bubbling over with stars,
it seems as though there is plenty oi
material for another league. Many
ot the stale children, or rather, spavs,
should re-eniist so as to keep the bast
ball pot hereabouts boiling over until
the boys across the pond finish their
game. The association is anxiously
waiting for some gentleman of good
stock who if used to meeting and
surmounting all kinds of obstacles to
throw his lid into the arena and get
busy with the talent available. This
aforementioned gentleman is in
Omaha somewhere. He ought to
bloom soon.
At that the association waltzed on
the green sward last Sabbath with
four leagues and the City league will
join the procession this afternoon,
making the grand total five.
Of course the association can swing
over the course with five leagues, but
the directors and all -of those con
cerned would feel more contented if
another league was organized.
Because th. Walter G. Clark sport-'
ing house, backer of a team bearing
their appellation, refused to cough
up for shoes which, since leather has
bumped the clouds are worth eight
Dones lor a couple, the Clarks threat
ened to abandon the field this vear.
As a consequence Frank Jacobs, the
cheese of the City league, sauntered
towards the meeting of the City
leaguers last week with a iaw sunk
like the Titanic. But he recovered
his spirits and also the flock that in
tended to pay the graveyard a visit
when the foreman of the Clark .
troupe announced the cheerful news
that his boys would not relinquish
their franchise in Jhe City league.
Dennison Signs Up.
Possibly Jawn Dennison, for man
years a drawing card in Class A cir
cles, really intends to discard the
base ball spangles, but he is such a
shrewd duck that it is a conundrum
to figure out what- is swimmino
around in his upper story. Anyway
he spread his John Hancock on a
Central Furniture Store contract last
week.
Another Class A plaver of reoute
haB of his own free will dropped back
in Class B company. His monicker
is' Frank Mirasky and he is planted
in one of the gardens for the Sample
Hats.
As soon as the constitutions re
cently ordered are printed President
Isaacson will call a meeting of the di
rectors of the association. Said gath
ering will probably take place in the
city hall some day this week. Another
new rule recently tacked on the con
stitution is that the managers of ths
various teams must report the score
of their games to Frank Quigley, the
oinciai taDuiator not later than 7 p. m.
He can be reached over Douglas 2256.
Managers, this is a matter of utmost
mportance and whether vou win or
lose you should attend to this matter
so that an accurate record can be--compiled
each week of the standing! 'i
of the different leagues. . '
Too Free With Contracts.
Two players to date have violated
the rule relative to hitchine un with
two different squads, namely, Billiam
Pinault and George A. Balderson.
The initial offense perpetrated bv
Balderson was with the Central Fur
niture store and later he attached his
nom-de-plume to a Holmes contract ;
"inauit hrst signed with the Sample
Harts and later with the Walter G.
Clarks. Written notifications wera
sent to both players informing them
to whom they should report. Balder
son is the property of the Central Fur- :
niture store and Pinault s services are
controlled by the Sample-Harts. Fail
ure upon the part of these two play,
ers to comply with the rules would
probably result in their suspension for
tne Daiance ot the season and if they
play with the wrong team the game
in which they participate will be for-,
feited to the opponents, unless in th
meantime they secure a release from
the team which was first tendered
their services. At the next meetino
of the association a new rule will
probably be adopted to govern this
problem.
