O'TOOLE'S CLEVER
PITCHING WINS
FOR OMAHA, 1-0
Catcher Bill Kelly, Purchased
From St. Louis Browns, Old
Pal of Marty, Joins
Locals.
St. joseph, Mo., May 18.(Special
Telegram.) Omaha won from St.
Joseph today.'l to 0, the game being
marred by continual wrangling with
Doyle, who was far off color in all
of his decisions.
Lingle opened the scoring for the
Rourkes in the third when he singled
to left, took second on O'Toole's
sacrifice, went to third on Bashang's
out at first and stole home after
Jackson had been passed. .
, Donica flew out to center. This
was the only score made by he
Rourkes; although they threatened
heavily when a man reached second
base. In that frame Donica walked
nd was given a base on balls by
Luschen, who succeeded Curtis on
the mound when the latter retired
to allow a pinch hitter to bat for him.
OToole Pitches Good Ball.
O'Toole pitched good ball on his
first appearance of the season and
was given excellent support. The
orrel top was cheered by the appear,
ance of Billy Kelly, his former Pitts
burgh and St Paul team mate, and
thet two held a. fanning bee between
innings. '
The umpiring of Doyle was the
worst seen here in several seasons
and was farcial at times. A terrific
wind blew across the field throughout
the game, .making it almost impos
sible to correctly judge a fly ball.
The attendance was only 502, but
threatening rain probably kept many
away. A double header will be
played tomorrow. .

Twilight Base Ball Will Start
In Omaha Tuesday; Play at 6:30
Twilight base bail starts in Omaha
Tuesday. Starting Tuesday all base
ball games in Omaha exceot those
played on Saturday and Sunday will
begin at 6:JU in the evening. Satur
day and Sunday ttames"will start at
the usual hour of 3:15.
The twilight base ball bus has
buzzed in the bonnets of minor league
magnates for several years. Many of
them have been confident that tames
played during the hours of dusk
would be better attended than, afteri
noon games. But fcthey have never
gained enough nerve to tackle the
proposition before.
Thit year, however. Western league
club owners or at least some of them
will make the exoenment. - The
magnates will treat-it is an experi
ment But they consider it an ex
periment which will cost them noth
ing. For they do not believe it pos
sible for attendance at twilight games
to be poorer than attendance at the
daylight games now.

PEEVISH PESEK
STARTS ON TRAIL
OF ONE j. LEVIS
Billy Sandow Makes Caustic
Remarks and Mart Slattery
"Threatens to Make ,
Him Eat 'Em.
William Sandow, astute impresario
of the wrestling mat, has placed "his
foot in it." William has incurred the
wrath of J. Pesek of Shelton, Neb.
And William is in a bad way.
It all happened in Chicago. Mr.
Sandow, who it will be recalled once
brought Strangler Lewis to Omaha,
met up with Larney Lichtenstein.
who aids Mart Slattery in conducting
onn reseks ousiness anairs. Now
it so happens that Slattery's instruc
tions to Lichtenstein were to "chal
lenge any of 'em," so Larney chal
lenged Lewis as part of the program.
This made Sandow a little peevish.
Sandow had come west to choose
Earl Caddock. He wants Caddock
to wrestle Lewis on July 4, claiming
that Lewis by virtue of his victories
over Wladek Zbyszko and others is
entitled to the match. And, of course,
he resented the Lichtenstein in
trusion, a very natural resentment in
view of the fact that the tip has gone
out from Nebraska that the manager
who lets his wrestler get within strik
ing distance of Pesek is Groin? to
lose his wrestler.
Says Naughty Things.
So Sandow becan to sav things
about Pesek. Or, at least, Lichten-1
stein reports to Slattery that Sandow
did. The remarks were quite un
complimentary of Pesek's wrestling
ability, Lichtenstein reported, and to
make matters worse thejKwere utter
ed in the presence of newspaper men.
Slattery is beating it to the Windy
city with all possible haste. When
he arrives, he and Lichtenstein will
hop on the trail of the astue Sandow
and the plan is to track him to his
lair. He will either have to wrestle
fesek or takfc back that which he
said. As it is probable he will want
to do nether some lively sessions
are expected in Chicago.
Incidentally, the Pesek challenge to
the wide, wide world is still up with
no takers. Nobody seems to want
reseks game.
American League Donates
$5,000 to Aid Red Cross Units
Chicago, May 48. President Ban
Johnson of the American leaeue an
nounced last night that in response to
an appeal of the Red Cross for base
ball equipment forjhe use of hospi
tal units overseas, his organization
had appropriated $5,000 for the pur
pose and that shipment of parapher
nalia starts today for France. The
shipment will include 2,000 balls: 500
oats, nrst basemen's mitts, 50 catch
ers gloves, 150 fielders mitts, 100 chest
protectors and 50 masks.
. Hanlon to Box Cline.
Des Moines,' la., May 18. Jimmy
Hanlon, Denver, will meet "Irish"
Patsy Cline, Philadelphia lightweight,
in a i-rouna Dout nere way J8, it was
announced today. ,
Here is the line of reasoning ad
vanced by the moguls wlio favor the
twilight hour: ,
Base ball is largely dependent upon
week days upon the idle and transient
population. In a minor league city
especially in war times this class is
practically negligible. -
The well-to-do man who is able to
spare an afternoon or two each week
from his work, does not attend ball
games. He plays golf or goes motor-
By starting games at 6:30, after the
day's work is done, maijy of the work
ing class will go to the ball games. '
Whether the magnates have the
right dope is purely problematical,
Some fans say -yes; others say no.
Team managers' and players do not
favor the scheme. Base ball writers
aren't crazy about it either. But the
magnates believe it will bring in a
few dollars. And they need 'em.
So starting Tuesday it's twilight
ball for Omaha.
At the start of the current season,
Manager Barrow of the Red Sox
placed "Stuffy" at third because he

Some Dope in Figures on the Rdurke Hopefuls
had a a star first-baseman in Dick
Hoblitzell, but no third baseman to
speak of. And when Hobby began
to fall down on his batting, Barrow
sent Babe Ruth, the slugging pitcher,
who also is a pretty good pastimer
at first or in the outfield, to first
and retained Mclnnis at third.
But now Hobby is going into the
army and Barrow doesn't use Ruth
regularly at first he needs Babe's
pitching, for Babe is about the class
iest southpaw hurjer in the American
league. So he has" sent Mclnnis back
to the old station, the sack he played
so many years and at which he has
often been called by experts and fans
the best in the game. And Freddie
Thomas, formerly an Omaha player,
has taken up the job at third.
BIG BILL DRiSTY
WINS SIMON PURE
STATE JIT TITLE
Is Given Decision, Over Joe
Stangl "at Y. M. C. A. After
One Hour and Twenty
Minutes.
Heavyweight BUI Drlety, Omaha.
1SH pounds Dara Nordstrom, Omaha.
148 pounds Herb Engelman, Grand
130 ponndi H. Hesly, Omaha.
115 pounds Elden Huff, Omaha.
"Big Bill" Dristy won the heavy
weight amateur wrestling champion
ship of Nebraska in the state cham
pionship tournament at the Omaha
young Men's Christian association
last night. He defeated Joe Stangl of
Omaha for the title.
Dristy and Stangl wrestled one hour
and 20 minutes without a fall. Referee
Tolliver gave a decision in Dristy's
favor.
The original schedule called for a
15-minute match to determine the
championship. But at the end of the
IS minutes the referee could not arrive
at a decision. Two additional referees
were pressed into service and Dristy
and Stangl ordered to go another five
minutes. Again no results. The ref
eree called it a draw.
Decide to Quit
So it was decided to let Dristy and
Strangl wrestle until one had gained
a fall. They wrestled lor an hour,
There was no fall. Then they decided
to quit and put it up to Tolliver to
make a decision. He gave it to Dristy
as the aggressor.
ihe outcome apparently was un
satisfactory to both men, as they both
challenged the other to another match,
this time a two falls out of three af
fair. They made known their wishes
to Physical Director Weston of .the
"Y" so it is probable a return match
will be made between the simon
pures.
Nordstrom Wins.
In the 158-pound class, Dave Nord
strom of Omaha won by beating
Walker Barnaby in five minutes.
Herb Engelman of Grand Island
won the 145-pound title from Perry

of Omaha beat E. N. Konecky of Lin
coln in one minutes and 22 seconds for
the 115-pound title.

AMATEURS HOLD
OWN IN SPITE OF
SUMMONS OFWAR
Five Leagues of Thirty-Three
Teams Practically Certain te
Survive Season, Despite
Adverse Conditions.
By FRANK JQUIGLEY.
When the whistle blew this season,
the Omaha Amateur Baseball asso
ciation answered the call with five
leagues, comprising a total of 33
teams. It is only one league shy.
At the present writing, the Greater
Omaha league is intact. . The City
league is short one team and will
cross the wire nexfT fall . with" five
teams. ,
All of the American league teams
are sticking like glue and it is a safe
plunge that they will all be on deck
at the termination of this season.
It is a wonder that more of the
teams in the Booster league have not
aviated.- A couple of them have taken
some extra heavy defeats, but appar
ently are not discouraged and are
plowing away harder than farmers.
This league contains eight teams.
Creams Melt Away.
Evidently the Graham Ice Creams
of the Intercity league c6uldn't stand
the hot weather and melted away.
They were rather soft as long as
they lasted. This blow-up leaves this
league with five teams to battle for
the rag.
So fans, you can plainly see that
the association is still as firm as the
rock of Gibraltar and unless some-'
thing imforseen germinates, it .will
finish in a blaze. q( triumph, regard
less of the scarcity of material.
Since the new ruling that protests
have to be accompanied with five
rocks, the managers of the various
squads think twice before protesting, .
and the second thought generally
saves a greenback.
Managers Frank Jacobs and Joseph
Wavrin of Holmes and Luxus narks.
respectively, wish to extend a cordial
invitation to those who happen to be
a proud possessor of a pass to bring
said introduction -with them, other
wise they will have to dig up two bits.
With the pass it only costs three cent:,'
war tax. Without it an additional 22
cents. So pass holders bring your
passes today because said rule be- -
comes effective today.
Classy Battles Today.
Two classy battles should be reeled
off at Luxus park this afternoon, the
initial offense between the Daily
News and the Krajicek Juniors and
the second show, Krajiceks 'against
the Metcalfs. The dope is in favor of
the News bunch in the opener, but
as the Krajicek Juniors here of lata
have been stinging the pill to reriiote
corners of the lot a different story
might welcome the fans.
A red-hot' Kineer. duel is antir.inaterl
by the followers of the Metcalfs and
the Krajiceks. These two sauads
are approximately evenly hooked-up.
in an proDabinty ueorge Frobst will
hoist the pill for the clothiers and
smiling Peter McCoy will slip 'em
over the pan for the opposition.
un tne ereen at Holmes nark the
Beselins and the Holmes will fight
to ascend from the cellar of the
Greater Omaha leasrue. To date
neither one of these teams has dished
up the brand of base ball looked for
by followers of Omaha's maiof
amateur league. It is problematical
just who Roy Stacey will put on the
firing line, while either Baker, Zink
or Grant will slide 'em over the
crockery for the Holmes. A pre
liminary game will be rolled on the
boards between the Trimble Bros,
and the Florence Merchants of the -American
league at 1:30 p. m.
a iarce eathermff of fan an A
fanettes will probably decorate the
side lines and bleachers at Miller
park to witness the duel between the
J. B. Roots and Trimble Juniors for
tne nonor oi the temporary leadership
of the Booster league. So far this ,
season neither team has lost a pam '
and they stand at the head of the
class with a percentage of 1.000. Un
doubtedly this game will be a knotk
out from the tinkle of the gong until
the abestos drops. It will shoot' in
at 3:30 p. m.
Sandlot Gossip.
For the Polarlnea. Wilson Atkins w.A
up the game against the Red Crowns with
a crack for four cushion.
Paul Kelly, who 1 twlrllnr for th Pni.r.
lnes, look rather sugary. Some Class A
Sunday magnate ought to try and nip him.
Carl Luebbe Is Koine- to ha mf
fence buster. He sipped one against the
Phillips store for the limit.
with the baaes chucked. Miller, the
holeter for the Social Settlements, lifted
one over the fence at Luxus park for a
home run against the Sample-Harts.
Manager Qolson la unusually quiet this
season about the Stag. Anyway they are
going good.
Emmet Mulvey, turned adrift by Joplln,
waa algned by the St Loula Brown and
then nt to Baltimore under option. Mul
vey kicked on the salary offered by Joplln. '
When Catcher Pat Collin hit a home run
which sailed over the bull sign, enthueiastio
fans subscribed 263 to a fund to give Col
Una. He announced he would buy a Liberty,
bond and thrift (tamp with the coin.
Toledo has recalled Pitcher Ray Sadt.3era
from Joplln. Toledo drafted Ray last fall,
then aent him back to the Miner this
spring, but , a shortage of twirlers com
pelled Bresnahan to demand him again, .
Peoria fans are reported to be sore be
cause Tom Palrweather failed to transfer
the Des Moines club to that city, and (bey
accuse Thomas of using Peoria as a whip to
stir Des Moines fans to support the team.
Al Hartman, the little southpaw who
alternated between the box and right field
with Denver last year and this spring, was "
given a trial at Topeka. but failed to cut
the mustard, ha Joined the Spokane club
and la holding down a regular octfleld
berth. , .
Indianapolis ha purchased Hank Butcher
from Fort Worth. Denver old Butcher to
the Texas club last winter after all the
Western team waived on him. He ha been
hitting less than .200 at Fort Worth Class
B company, too. McGIU must have singled
him out for old-time sake.
Chief Winnebago Johnson, who once ahut
out the Rourkea on a memorable Sunday
afternoon, when It wa believed he wouldn't
be able to even see the plate, let alone shoot
over th , 1 up, to hi old tricks. Too
much lemon extract ha reaulted la th
chief Indefinite luspenslen without pay by
th Baa Pranclar" '
