ROURKES LOSE
SECOND GAME OF
SERIKTO FOE
Marty O'Toole Suffers One Bad
Inning and Wichita Wins, 3
to 1 ; Coy Hits Home '
Run. '
Marty O'Toole suffered one bad in
ning yesterday-That one bad inning
beat the Rourkes. Wichita won 3 to 1.
- The fatal stanza was the sixth. Mr.
Carey opened the spasm with a single
to right. Joe Berger followed with
I double to the same spot. McBride's
Mcrifice fly to Jiolderman scored
-Carey. Then came the dirty work.
Mr. Coy was the agent. He .tapped
the pill over-the rightfield fence. It
was the first home run of the year on
the local lot. The homer scored
RergeY ahead of Coy and gave the
Wolves the fray.
,,That one round was Marty's only
bad one. The rest of the time he
hurled good ball. At no other time
did Isbell's crew evenHireaten. i
But, alas, Elmer Koestner(also was
pitching good ball. Elmer was a little
wild, but he always steadied in the
oinches. 1 , -,
Holderman Hits Double.
- In the fourth the Rourkes managed
So sneak over one run. After Pefate
whiffed, Holdernian dropped a Texas
leaguer to center. When Wolfe hesi
tated on the play Doc scooted to sec
ond, making the blow a double. Cal
lahan popped out, but Keliey Jaced a
tingle to left and Holderman came
jrancing home.
Wichita has won both games of the
series here, inability of the Rourkes
to. hit the Wichita brand of pitching
has resulted in the two local defeats.
The Wolves wind up their series to
night. It will be ladies' night. The
tame starts at 6:30.

Caring for the Top.
The top should never be folded
when damp or wet. but should be
kept "open until thoroughly dry.
Gasoline should not be used for re
moving spots, as many tops have rub
ber in their composition and the oily
substance tends to disintegrate it.
Good castile soap and water are best
for removing stains. Rub the lather
in with a stiff brush and wash with
clean water. Chloroform is often
used for removing stains.

Spirited Athletic Carnival
Enthuses Fort Omaha Soldiers
By FRANK QUIGLEY.
Although the sky faucets were
turned on yesterday, nevertheless the
hoisters of the horsehide hereabouts
were ready to don the spangles as
per the menu card, with a few ex
ceptions. Three games were forfeit
ed, but the reason if not accounted
for by atmospheric conditions, still
remains a mystery.
You would swear the Council Bluffs
Metcalfes were rigged out in hobble
skirts from the headway tlicy made
acainst the Murohv Did" Its. When
the smoke cleared away, the Black
smiths had captured the duel by 14 to
2, which incidentally landed them at
the top of the Greater Omahaeasue.
During this battle four circuit smashes
were rung up. Two by Hay, one by
Samuel Feltnian and another by Wil
lie Probst. The C. B. Longeways are
entertaining all comers at roost two.
This bunch slipped the Holmes boys
a bunch of goose eggs. Manske, their
ilicrry pusher, made 15 swing fruit
lessly at the breeze and only allowed
one hit.
Armours Near Winners.
The Armours nearly won another
game. Tjiey kept the lead until it
was about time to close the gates
and then the Bessclins stole frf3m be
hind and by the assistance of Carl
Rathke's home run with a gent loung
ing at cprner two, the weed gentle
men gained a margin, which, the
Packerville boys could not regain.
The Sample-Harts would have wil
lingly cancelled their game, because
James Mirasky, their star clubber was
out of town, but they played and
temporarily lost the rag to the Flor
ence merchants by the close score of
4 to J. It was a fast game from the
bell until the curtin. E. Nufer for
the suburban boys was in grand con
dition and his puzzlers sort of be
wildered the Sample's heavy clubbers.
Said piece of misfortune puts the
Sample-Harts in position two and the
McCaffrey Motor Co. and Trimble
Bros, are tied for the third station,
Billiam Curran, the cheerful leader
of the Social Settlements, is still play
ing that tune, At the tail with a lone
some nine.
Trimbles Over the Ropes. t
In the Booster league the Trimble
Juniors just got over the ropes with
the bacon by whipping the Home-
sieaas, ts to . I he Juniors are on
top, with the, J. B. Roots and Ram
blers knotted for berth two. Joseph
Becker was the principal instrument
that made rambling good for the
Ramblers. He hopped around at
short like, he ate frog-legs for lunch.
Now, that the Ramblers have hit
their stride the Trimbles will have
to move fast to hold the lead. The
Harley-Davidsons cornered 5 runs,
while the opposition yanked in 20.
It is a good thing it wasn't Friday
the 13th or the Davidson's manager
would have something to blame if
on.
The biccest surprise haooened in
the Intercity league when the Dresh
er Bros, dropped a game to the
World Heralds. Now the Daily News
children are leading the procession
in this lague and it will be a diffi
cult matter for the Tailors to. make
up their lost ground.
Togged Out in Glad Rags.
Carlan. the hot corner custorian
for the Ramblers was togged out in
his clubbing rags. He cornered three
middle cushion raps. Southpaw
Moore of the McCaffreys had h;s
foolers fooling the opposition. He
breezed sweet 16. The Men's Fash
ion Shop team was crippled yesterday
Dy the absence of Lmest Deemers,
.who recently had his right arm
broken by a pitched ball.
