EXCITING GAME
New York Plays Uphill Ball
Behind Tyler, But Manages
to Drive Two Pitchers
Off Mound.
Chicago, May 25. Chicago de
feated New York, 7 to 4, today in one
of the most exciting games played
here this season. The locals played
an uphill game behind Tyler and by
bunching hits managed to drive two
pitchers off the mound, and overcome
a lead which they had handed to the
visitors through erratic fielding by
Deal and Zeider.
Paskert's timely double, with two
men on and two out, tied the score
in the third and Deal's triple put the
locals ahead. Tyler tightened up
after that and the visitors were un
able to score.
Jess Barnes, who opened for the
visitors and who left tonight to join
the National armv. was forced to re
tire in the first inning. Demaree did
not fare much better and gave way
to Causey. Score:
NEW YORK. CHICAGO.

Valve Cap Hint.
Never permit a tire valve to remain
uncovered. In case the cap is lost
and no spars is immediately avail
able, tie a piece of rag or rubber over
the stem. If dirt once makes its
way into the valve stem, a leak is al
most certain to result.

DRIVE TO SELL
COUPON BOOKS
WELL UNDER WAY
Rotary Club, Early on the Job,
Sells Thirty Books; Other
Organizations Make
Plans.
The Chamber of Commerce drive
to sell ,1000 coupon books containing
a total of 20,000 admissions to Omaha
base ball games is under way.
The coupon books have been print
ed and are now being distributed to
the committeemen who have under
taken their sale.
The Chamber of Commerce hopes
to have the greater part of these
books sold before the current week
is over. Des Moines sold $6,000
worth of the books in two days and
in Hutchinson and Topeka the books
were sold in a relatively short time'.
The Chamber of Commerce will not
quit if the 1,000 books are sold be
fore the entire field is covered. In
fact, 500 additional books have been
ordered in the event this occurs. The
whole town will be canvassed and
every business man given an oppor
tunity to buy at least one book.
Rotarians on Job.
The Rotary club was one of the
first organizations on the job and
sold 30 books at a single meeting. The
club expects to sell at least 50 more.
The Concord club has appointed a
committee to undertake the sale of
30 books, Roy N. Towl in charge of
the City hall has appointed W. E.
Wulfe, H. F. Thomas, C. F. Smith
and Willian Horton as a committee
which will attempt to distribute 20
books among city employes.
George Adams, E. D. Benedict,
Philip Greenberg, R. D. Clarke and
William B. Hopson are members of
the Advertising-Selling league ap
pointed to sell books.
Purchasers Protected.
Purchasers of these coupon books
will be protected in the event any
thing happens to the Western league.
If the new "work or fight" ruling
causes the abandonment of profes
sional base ball before the summer is
over, as it is believed in some quar
ters, Pa Rourke has made arrange
ments with the Bureau of Publicity
of the Chamber of Commerce to pro
tect holders of books. This also ap
plies if the league goes broke. Rourke
will deposit all receipts from the
sale of the $10 coupon books in -a
special fund. If for any reason, the
Omaha team is compelled to quit be
fore the season ends, Rourke will
return part of the purchase price of
the ticket, taking into consideration
the number of games remaining un
played and the number of tickets
the purchaser already has used.
Rourke also had signed an agree
ment with the Chamber of Commerce
to maintain the Omaha team at the
highest possible standard and to ad
mit soldiers and sailors in uniform
free to all games on Saturdays, Sun
days and holidays.
MATCH OFF
Jack Curley Wires Eleventh
Hour Cancellation of Zibby's
Omaha Mat Go With Joe
Stecher.
The Joe Stecher-Wladek Zbyszko
wrestling match, scheduler for Toe
day night at the Omaha Auditorium,
has been called off.
Jack Curley, manager of Wladeli
Zbysiko, cancelled the engagement oi
his wrestler for reasons which are
as yet something of a mystery.
Carl Marfisi, making his maiden
ventrue as a wrestler promoter, yes
terday afternoon received an eleventh-hour
wire from Curley cancel
ling the Zbyszko engagement.
In Vague Terms.
The telegram was couched in vague
terms and it is suspected, contained t
bit of camouflage.
The telegram recited that Crtrley
"deemed it unadvisable to hold
Stecher-Zbyszko match at this time."
Curley also vouchsafed the informa
tion that "ruling does affect it."
This ruling clause is believed to
refer to Provost Marshall Crowder'i
work on fight order.
But as the Crowdcr order does not
go into effect July 1 and anyhow
Zbyszko has been discharged from
the army and Joe Stecher is a full
pledged farmer this is believed to be
some of the camouflage.
Calls Gotham on Phone.
Beyond this Curley offered no ex
planation for his action. So Marfisi
called up New York by long distance
telephone. The telephone company
reported Curley could not be located.
Marfisi then called Louis Meyer, Cur
ley's partner in the wrestling game.
Meyer told Marfisi that he could
not explain the cancellation at the
present time. "Certain things have
happened which make in impossible
for Zbyszko to appear in Omaha,"
Meyer told Marfisi.
Suggests Postponement.,
Marfisi then suggested a postpone
ment of a week and said he would
follow this course if Zbyszko would
deposit a forfeit of $5,000 guarantee
ing his appearance.
Meyer replied that the forfeit
could not be deposited as it waa un
certain whether Zbyszko could ap-
near in ilmnha within annihrr-
or even two weeks.
At his wits end, Marfisi called off
the match last night.
Cold Feet.
Several rumors and reports float
ed around Omaha last night. Some
advanced the theory that it was simp
ly a case of cold feet.
Zbyszko decided Stecher would
throw him, so he cancelled the
match," was the explanation.
In other quarters a persistent ru
mor had it that Zbyszko could not
come to Omaha for very good rea
sonsthat the authorities wouldn't
let him. How this rumor started is
unknown. It could not be verifified
at a late hour last night.
Marfisi does .not know whether , hs
is merely the unfortunate victim oi
some bad luck or whether he has
been fleeced.
Marfisi Marks Time.
"I am marking time, said Marfisi
'If I find Zbyszko really is unable to 1
come that he has an explanation
for his act I won't say a word. But
it I find that he has run out on me.
I -III L ' 1,
nc u dc a sorrier man. .
It is estimated the cancellation by
Zbyszko will cost Marfisi nearlv
$1,200. He has a deposit at the
Auditorium. He has spent large sums
in advertising. The total is not far
short of $1,200.
I he message from Curley came late
yesterday afternoon. At 2 o'clock
Saturday afternoon Marfis had
checked up the advance sale of tick
ets. It was more than $4,000. This
advance sale would indicate that at
least a $12,000 house would see the
show Tuesday night It might even
be a $15,000 house. .
Marfisi was in his office in the Om
aha National Bank Building. He had
just received word from Colonel
Pickering of Fort Crook that he .and
his staff would attend the match and
bring the 41st infantry band alone
to provide a little melody for the
fans. 'Marfisi was as happy as a kid
with a new toy. Then in walked a
messenger boy. And the rain began
to fall The match is off.
