- Pu! Musser, Dei Moines pitching
tee, was put out of commission by the
Rourkei yesterday and Omaha cap
tured the second game of the series
from the Boosters, 7 to 2. (
; Two bad innings proved the undo
irj of Musser. They weren't bad in
rings from the Omaha view point,
tat to Musser's way of thinking they
were disastrous. : In the second of
ibe fourth, Jackson's men made the
run which made the winning njrgtn.
After Hanford whiffed in the scc
' id, Tony Dcfate caught one of the
, nsser slants on the nose. When the
, asters got the pill back in the in
i.ild, Tony was perched on third. , He
irried there only a moment for

I ; Notes of the Game
SAND LOT LADS
UPSET DOPE IN
SOME HOT GAMES
Krajiceks Again Are Tied for
FiVst Place; Positions Also
, Changed in City.
' League.
By FRANK QUIGLEY. ,
The , attendance at the various
parks yesterday, while larger than
last Sunday, was quite satisfactory,
taking into consideration the side
dish of dust that was served gratis to
base ball devotees.
To keep out of the cemetery ama
teur base ball must have the support
of the public, not particularly in a
financial manner, but by the presence
of live wire fans to encourage the ex
ponents of the horsehide game to de
liver their best and to mucilage
themselves to the game even if they
habitually draw the losing number.
Become Real Fans.
So you fans that to date have en
rolled as slackers, should resign and
gfo out and lamp the local pill hoist
ers. After you see a game or two
you will undoubtedly become inocu-
lated with the fever so strong that
base ball will be the paramount item
on your recreation menu.
By handing: the Beselins a bunch of
goose eggs, while the Murphy Did
Its were swallowing a dose of de
feat administered by the C. B. Longe
waysv, the Krajiceks are again tie for
first place with the Longeways in the
Greater Omaha league. Pete Mc
Coy was the chief illumination dur
ing the Krajicek-Beselin brawl. He
made 17 of the puffers split the at
mosphere and secured a pair of two
base whangs. A pair of teams are
also knotted for rung two in the
urcaier umana,
i Dope la Upset.
Yesterday's games changed things
around in the City league. Now a
pair of teams are tied for the roof
and three, are fighting for corner two,
- Neither the Sample-Harts or the
Florence Merchants were , pulled
down, although the Merchants had to
fight an uphill battle to conquer the
McCaffrey Motor company. The
Harts and Merchants has a 1.000 per
cent in the American league and the
Social Settlement boys made them
selves stronger in the basement by
collecting the short end.
Both the Trimble" Bros., Jrs. and
the J. B. Roots clamped the lid on
tighter for the attic posish of the
Booster league by winning by a large
margin. The Trimbles had 25 runs to
spare when the show was over and
the Roots punched the clock with
eleven runs to the good.
Ice Creams Melt.
Evidently the sun was a trifle warm
for the Graham Ice Creams, for they
melted away and by so doing the
World-Heralds won their initial argu
ment of the season by a forfeit.
One of the best games jerked off on
the local municipal lots was th: quar
rel for " first place between the
Dreshers and Daily News. After a
grueling battle, rtunnir which several
thrills kept the tans intoxicated with
excitement, the Daily News copped
by a 2 to 0 score. McDermott, kinker
for the News outfit struck out 22 and
allowed only three hits. This boy
uugm to DC ripe lor v-iaus a company.
Battle to t Tie.
The peculiar attraction of the after
noon was the seven-round bout be
tween the Krajicek Jrs. and the Phil
lips Department store, which ter
minated with a 15 to 15 knotted score
For the Krajicek Jrs., Carl Luebbe
cracked one for the limit and for the
Phillips, Harkins tickled one for four
cushions and said belt knotted the
score in the fifth stanza with the score
14 to 3 against them and the game ap
patently lost. The Department chil
dren trucked 11 counters across the
pan. During the remaining two in
nines each squad drew blood once.
General Manager Joseph Wavrin
of the parks controlled by the associ
ation wishes to announce that here
after the enclosed parks will be thor
oughly soaked with water every Sun
day morning, so the dust mat nas
heretofore proved annoying to the
fans will be cut to the minimum.
No Game at Detroit.
Detroit, Mich., May 12. The New
York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers
rambled on the weather Jhis after
noon and lost. After jumping from
New York after Saturday's game and
arriving here shortly after noon, the
two teams were prevented irora piay
inc bv a slow drizzle that began just
as the game was scheduled to start.
The teams left tonight for the game
in New York tomorrow.

SCENE CHANGES
MAKING OF FOUR
SECOND BASEMEN
Pratt, Magee, Doyle and Ged
eon All Show Improvement
After Being Transferred
to Other Clubs. .
New York, May 12. Four , trans
planted second basemen in the big
show are playing better ball this sea
son with theirew teams than they
played before. j
The four in Question are Derrill
Pratt, who came to the Yankees fromj
the Browns; Lee Magee, traded to the
Reds by the Browns in a three-cornered
deal with New York; tarry
Doyle,, who came back to McGraw via
Boston and Chicago, and Joe
Gedeon, formerly with.the Yanks and
now the regular second sacker of the
Brownies. . "1 ,
Pratt's hitting, so far this year, has
been an improvement ; over 1917,
while Larry Doyle's great work with
the stick has put new life into the
Giant infield. Joe Gedeon, who was
always an in-and-outer, while wear
ing a Yankee uniform, largely, per
haps, because he was not kept in the
lineup , continuously, is busting the
pill in better form now that he is
with St. Louis, and Lee Magee, who
was let out by the Yanks because of
batting slumps, seems to have caught
the slugging spirit since going to the
Reds.
Not only are these four players hit
ting oftener and more timely, but
their infielding is snappier. It often
works wonders to give a player a
change of clubs, for . some players
grow stale when they are with one
team for a few seasons.
Carpentier Unfit.
The war has evidently robbed the
fistic world of a wonderful fighter in
the person ;s of Georges Carpentier,
who has been retired from the fly
ing corps because of the effects of a
long illness which left him unfit for
flying. Carpentier is now a physical
instructor at the Ecole Militaire de
ioinville-le-Pont, one of thet great
rench army schools near Paris. The
French champion, who was twice dec
orated for bravery, and whose work
with the French airmen was men
tioned many times, is said to have suf
fered partly from a nervous break
down and it is doubtful whether or
not he will be fit ta battle over the
championship route again.
Chase and Maisel Two Big
Leaguers Who Lost on Change
In discussing the uncertainty con
nected with big league stars changing
.their positions, Matty cites two exam
ples of men who were unsuccessful in
their ties at new posts. These were
Hal Chase, the well known first base
man, and Fritz ' Maisel, the speedy
third sacker.
When Frank Chance was manager
of the New York Yankees, Chase was
placed at second, but he proved awk1
ward at the position and soon discov
ered that first was his natural post
Maisel was tried in the outfield and
later at second base, only to go back
finally to the hot corner.
Frisco Fans Are Aroused
V TS . fl : - t T
i ' uver ruur snowing 01 i earn
witn tne coast league season a
month old the San Francisco Seals,
chamtions of last year, were safely
03 the'bottom. Jerry Downs is not
to be blamed. The club management
has tried hard to give him the players
he needs, but without success. How
ever, the fans do net look at it that
way and the fans threaten to blow the
whole works into the bay unless
something is done to make it a win
ner. .
Boston Red Sox Take on -
International Athlete
The management of the Boston Red
Sobc announces the signing of Frank
Truesdale, who was with Toronto
last season and is held to h a free
agent under the decision of the na
tional commission. Truesdale spent
the last winter and early spring play
ing bail in New Mexico and is said
to be ready for work. .
Frisco Loses on Deal.
Harl Maggert is not likely to be of
much use to San Francisco. He has a
bad knee, too susceptible to injury
and the deal for him was just so-much
energy and money wasted. Mean
while the San Francisco club is keep
ing the wires hot in its search for
an outfielder.
Magee Likes Ham.
Lee Magee of the Cincinnati Reds
has a record of se-en consecutive hits
off Earl Hamilton. He made 'five in
the game Ham pitched in Cincinnati
and got two in his first two Jimes up
in the game the left-hander pitched
for the Pirates against the Reds in
Pittsburgh. "
