FIRST TWILIGHT
: GAMEfSEASON
Drop Fivef Inning Contest, 3 to
2; Fans Threaten to Mobx
Umps Doyle; Fuhr Called
to War.
-The inauguration of twilight base
ball in Omaha from the standpoint of
it tendance was a huge success: from
the standpoint of everything else it
was a total wreck. . ,
The attendance was more than 600,
Jiore tl(an twice as great as at any
acck-day matinee held in Omaha this
year.
But tht ball . game, itself Omatia
lout it -only went, five .innings, the
crowd threatened to mob the ump.
md it rained. ,
The score was .1 to 2 in favor of
Hutchinson. The Hutches must have
had a hunch the conflict was to be
abreviated for they! scored their runs
early. In the second and third in
nings to be precise. '
In the second Fuhr made an error.
Then Benson and Banner made safe
hits and one run cotTlited.
Two in Third.
With one down in the third McCel
land hit a groover in the nose for a
single. Falk lammed one over Hol
derman't disappointed knob for two
sacks and McClelland scampered
home.' Then Benson sent Falk home
with a single.
Omaha scored one in the first when
Donica was punctured in the riblets
bv a nttched hall stnU sernnrt anrt
'scored on Hanford's single. Defate
singled in the fourth with two down
and went to second on Pitt's error.
' He scored on llolderman's double to
right rv
; Ump. Chokes too.
Then the wind began to blow. The
dust was swept across the diamond
and players and fans began to choke.
It is suspected Umpire Jack Doyle
also choked. With one down at the
start of the sixth he called the game
on account of darkness.
This made the home fans sore and
they bombarded Doyle with cushioins
and threatened him with all manner of
physical violence. It was all threat: J
tuougti. c ceyond a' bump or two in
the beatl by a cushion, no damage was
done, t
r t. ' . ... . .
i-unr. wno pucnea lor umana,
burled his farewell game. He received
notice from his local draft board in
Missouri that he had been called for
service.- He leaves for his home to
day. Hutchinson again today. The game

STECHER-ZIBBY
WINNER TO MEET
CADOQCK JULY 4
Positive Announcement That
Winner,of Omaha Match Will
Wrestle Champ Made by
Promoter Marfisi.
The winner of the Joe Stecher-Wladek-Zbyszko
match at the Audi
torium next Tuesday night will meet
Earl Caddock for the wrestling
Earl Caddock for the wrestlingfl
championship of the vorld in Omaha
July 4.
That is the unqualified announce
ment made yesterday by Carl Mar
fisi, who is promoting the Steelier
Zbyszko brawl.
The positive announcement is the
conclusion of common gossip in the
wrestling world for several months
that Caddock and Stecher would meet
again July 4. Until a week or so ago
it was generally agreed the matr.i
would c held. Then Gene Melady,
Caddock's manager, informed Steelier
he would have to beat Zbyszko before
he (Melady) would talk terms for a
Caddock-Stecher match.
Marfisi stepped into the gap . and
made the match between Stecherand
Zbyszko. And yesterday Melady gave
Marfisi permission to announce that
the winner would be given the in
dependence day match with Caddock.
Site is Selected.
Marfisi did not "announce that the
match would be staged in Omaha,
but recent happenings here lead to
that conclusion. It is said a deal for
a location had already! been made and
all preliminary preparations for the
staging of the match concummated.
Promotor Marfisi also made another
important announcement yesterday.
He announced he would issue instruc
tions to Referee Ed Smith to give a
decision in the Stecher-Zbyskc match
unless it happenedto be absolutely im
possible. "There must be a winner
and a loser in this match," said Mar
fisi, "and Smith will receive instruc
tions to name the winner at all costs if
it so happens there is no fall before
the two hours and a half are up."
LEWIS EEFUSES
TO MEET PESEK
ON EM TERMS
Mart Slattery, manager of John
Pcsek, Nebraska's newest wrestling
sensation who has issued a'xhallenge
to any grappler in the world, was in
Omaha yesterday uoon his return
from Chicago where lie went in an in
effectual attempt to lure Ed Strangler
Lewis out of his hole.
Lewis m Chicago announced that
he would make mince meat out of
I'esek, or words to that effect. Slat
tery took the next train to Chicago.
But when Slattery arrived. Billy San
dow, Lewis' manager, began to change
his tune. He said he was willing to
wrestle Pesek in Omaha if he got a
guarantee of $2,500.
Slattery insisted that if Sandow
thought Lewis was no good he should
be willing to take alliance on a per
centage. A wrestler as good as San
dow thinks Lewi$ is ought to pull
enough in at the gate to be willing to
take his own chance on the percent
age, Slattery held.
But Sandow apparently remembers
a certain July 4 when Lewis got in
very, very bad in Omaha and con
tinued to demand the $2,500 guajan-
Thus is the prospect of a Pesek
Lewis match far away as Slattery
doesn't know where to find an Oma
ha promoter who would give Lewis
a nickel of guarantee money.
Slattery would like to book Lewis
for a match, as he believes Pesek will
tfim the Strangler. Afte.r a confer
ence with Jack Lewis, local promoter.
Slattery returned to his home " in
Sbelton. y "

SALE OF COUPON
BOOKS TO START
IN OMAHA FRIDAY
Chamber of Commerce Will
Begin Disposition of 20,000
Tickets to Omaha Ball
Games.
Sale of the 1,020 admission coupon
books to the Omaha base ball games
which the publicity bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce proposed to
dispose of, will start Friday, when it
is believed the Red Cross drive will be
over.
The coupon book sale is for the pur
pose of keeping base ball in Omaha.
It was feared that financial distress
would force the Omaha base ball club
to close its doors for the current sea
son at least, and the publicity bureau
after a special meeting decided to un
dertake the sale of $10,000 worth of
tickets to keep base ball in Omaha.
Of). Talmage. chairman of the pub
licity committee, has appointed a com
mittee representing 30 lines of en
deavor to sell the tickets. Each com
mitteeman will organize a sub-committee.
The coupon books also will
be placed on sale at the Chamber of
Commerce.
Friday has been designated as
Chamber of Commerce day at the ball
park, following a recommendation of
the publicity committee to the execu
tive committee. EaclLxmember of. the
body will be urged tope present with
his family when the game starts at
o:ju p. m. i
The Chamber of commerce is con
fident the drive to sell the tickets will
be a success. Hutchinson, a town of
less than 40,000 people, sold $15,000
worth of tickets; Sioux City and Des
Moines $10,000 each Topeka $12,000,
and St. Joseph $6,000. Omaha is more
than twice as large as any of these
cities so it is belieyed Omaha will
easily sell $10,000 worth if not more.

ticket sale has been named as fol

US I '
Wieldinps
By FRED S. HUNTER.
ANDY Graves, the kittenish youth
who pitches or plays any other
position that happens to be vacant
for the Armours, pounded out two
home runs Sunday. One came when
three runners were on the bases.
Andy owns to 45 yearson earth,
but there is a prevailing suspicion
among the local sandlotters that he
arrived in the U. S. A. with Ponce de
Leon and was co-discoverer of the
fonntain of .jerpetual youth in that
celebrated pay-strike in Florida. H.
Wagner, L. Doyle, L. Lajoie and a
number of others have been cheating
on the calendar for a long time, but
old man Andy can give them spades
and deuces- and still rake in all the
chips on the board. Andy was play
ing the game when the present gen
eration was wearing knee pants. He
may not have played the first game
of ball, but he played the second.
Some day. no doubt, Andy's ving and
eye will fade, but nobody in Omaha
expects to live to see the day.
It Is Sure to Happen.
THERE will be a great stroke of
humor in the press coop at
Rourke park sometime during the
Omaha-Hutchinson series.
When the umps announces Mr.
Tedeschi is to pitch for Hutchinson,
one of the tcorers will ipimediately
demand as follows: "How do you
spell that?"
Ajid just as surely as one asks it,
one of the others will burst into fa
cetious melody as follows: "How
the 'ell would I know, I can't even
pronounce it."
The press coop is the abiding place
of genius.
Earning a Victory.
SANDLOT base ball is the game
of games. We have it from a
Scribe Who reoorts the amateur
doings; they are always more bitterly
fought. Quite true. They are gen
erally fought twice, once on the dia
mond and once when the protest is
filed.
Claiming the Title.
WE perceive that Colonel Fred
Bradford claim's fhi semi.nrn
championship of Nebraska because
the Brandeis beat the Lincoln Clean
ers. Brad is a piker. He ought to
play Paris. Ky., and then claim the
championship of France.
Not a Chance.
WE notice that during the futile
search for a location for the
now defunct Willard-Fulton
brawl, nobody once mentioned Hava
na, Cuba. It will be recalled the
Willard-Johnson fight was staged in
Havana, Cuba. In other words, of
course not. y

Belgians Not to Visit Fremont.
The delegation of Belgian soldjers
will not stop in Fremont as planned)
according to a telegram received by
Mayor Wiley from the publicity man- .
ager of the government information
bureau.
P. O. Carlbert probably saved his
life when he jumped from his road
ster at the Lincoln highway crossing
of the Union Pacific tracks at Ames
as the engine "died" von the track
ahead of a freight train. The car
was demolished- Mr. Carlbert spent
the winter in Fremont with his sister
and was on his way to Nampa, Idaho,
his home. He purchased the car- to
make the trip and intended to visit a
number of places of interest on the
way. He will go by train.
Fremont Gets Rairl.
A rainfall of .55 of an inch Mon
day night was of great benefit to
crops. This makes a total of an inch
in this vicinity within the last week.
Winter wheat is badly damaged as a
lesult of the drought, and will not
make over half a crop, it is estimated.
Spring wheat and oats will be a short
crop. Native hay will be almost a mi
nue quantity.
