whssourians Tie Score in
Fourth Inning, After Which
Rourkes Make Run in
J Each Frame.
Joplin, Mo., June 15. (Special Tel-tgram.)-Ctrefully
camouflaging their
real intentions behind alternate pe
riods of brilliant and bush league
baseball, both the visiting Omahans
and the Miners furnished the handful
of fans today with an exhibition that
can be described by no word except
weird." 1
The visitors scored six runs in the
first inning on flock of hits and
error. .They got another in the
fourth fend then the Miners tied it
up in their half of the same inning,
but the excellent pitching of Hale,
t youngster who relieved Merz for
Omaha, kept the Miners scoreless
the remainder of the game, while
Omaha counted one run in the fifth,
sixth and seventh innings.
Mer relieved Manske for. the vis
itors in the fourth wjth the .bases
full. He walked in one run and
hit Boehler, forcing in another. Then
he benched himself. Hubbel was not
to blame for the poor showing made
while he was on the mound. Three
of the hits obtained by the visitors
off his delivery should have been
outs, , Steward showed well every
thing considered. He is a new fling
er who works with his port side.
Hulswitt obtained him from the St.
T . i r r J
Louis Browns Friday.

A certain trolfer had qualified in the

down the fairway the player found
himself on the edge of a green which
was as fast as lightning, sloping away
toward the woods. Mis approacn

Honolulu Swimmers Set
Three New World Records
Alameda,! Cal., June IS. Honolulu
swimmers today established three new
world swimming records for various
distances, according to officials of the
Pacific Athletic association, at a meet
ing held under the auspices of that or
ganization. Duke Kahanamoku, world cham
pion, broke the former record for 110
yards, by making the distance in
1:011-5. The old record of 1:031-5
waa established by Cecil Healy of
Australia.
Clarence Lane swam 80 yards in 42
seconds, breaking the old record by
three seconds, and Harold Kruger
swam the 60-yard back stroke in 38 2-5
seconds, breaking the former record
of 40 seconds, held by Clarence Dan
iels. i China Lad Goes Back.
Bill Tin Lai, the Chinese infielder.
who got a trial with the Phillies, has
been released to Bridgeport of the
Eastern league ,
the other members of the club have
deferred classifications because of de
pendents or are outside of the draft
regulations. Baker is the only Yankee
over the draft age and Marsans is a
citizens of Cuba, so it is not included
in the draft.
BOOST IN RAIL
RATES SAD BLOW
TO BALL MOGULS
Increase in Transportation for
Clubs of Two Big Leagues
Will Be More Than
$150,000.
The high cost of base ball, viewed
from the standpoint of the magnate,
had another item added to the stead
ily mounting bill when the- increased
railroad fares went into effect June
10. It has been estimated that the
expense of transporting the major
league club teams about the country
has increased fully a quarter of a
million dollars this season as com
pared with the rates prevailing a year
or two ago.
Veteran big league base ball officials
state that the average mileage of such
a club will equal about 10,000 miles
each year when figured over a period
of several seasons. Some clubs will
run above these figures and others
below, according to the manner in
which the Schedule breaks for them
from year to year, but an average
of 10,000 miles can be counted upon
as about correct for the purpose of
estimating increases.
In ante-bellum days the rate
throughout the various states included
ina major league circuit averaged
about two and one-half cents per
mile per member of the party. This
gave a total of about $2,500 per play
er per season with several hundred
dollars additional for Pullman reser
vations during long trips. This par
ticular item was offset to some extent
by the saving in hotel bills where
night jumps were made.
Increase is Huge.
Under the new ruling the rate is
increased almost a cent a mile, in
addition to the regular charges for
special reservation and the travel war
tax. If all the traveling is done in
Pullmans the rate will be three and
a half cents per mile or a total for a
full season of $3,500 per player plus
a war tax of eight per cent, equal to
$288. To this will have to be added
the regular extra charge for sleeping
berths or chairs where long night or
day trips arc. made. Provided the
increased rates did not ko into effect
until the middle of the base ball sea
son the additional expense would be
approximately $500 per player and for
each club about $10,000, based upon
an average of 20 to a party. With 16
clubs in the two major leagues the
total would be over $150,000.
While the major leagues can prob
ably meet this' additional expense
without serious financial setback, the
same cannot be said of the various
minor organizations. It will undoubt
edly cut heavily into the narrow mar
gin which now marks the difference
between profit and loss in the minor
league club accounts. The problem
IS already rprpivinor rariftil ctttrlv frnm
base ball club officials all over the
country. The Pacific Coast league
win try the experiment of transport
ing players from city to city by autO'
mobile and motorcars while trolley
service has been suggested in the east
as a means of keeping down traveling
expenses.

CONCHA
DERBY
SNARES
RACE IN
CLOSING EVENT
Eight-Year-Old Mare Captures
Mile Gallop After Stiff Con
test With Paw and
A!wick.
Concha, an 8-year-old mare, carried
off the big coin in the Ak-Sar-Ben
derby, which was the feature of last
night's jumping races at the Benson
track, and set a new record of 1:43 1-5
for the mile. The new record for the
Benson track is now about one second
more than the state record. The bill
of six running races made a glorious
finish to America's first twilight race
meeting.
Our Queen, owned by Dr. Ross of
Sioux City, made a sensational finish
in the five furlong race , for horses
that had not placed first or second
during the meet. Although the mare
was at a disadvantage at the start, she
quickly showed her class and finished
several yards before the furiously
lashing jockies and their steeds.
Cub Easy Winner.
The Cub, chestnut stallion, was an
easy wjnner in the five furlong weight
for age event, in which Marcus was
the second best contender for the
purse. A sudden spurt away from the
other two horses put Marcus in sec
ond position.
Paw and Alwick gave Concha a
stiff race while Louis Paul, the fourth
starter, broke just before the home
sprint.
Fans Get Peevish.
Serious trouble from angry fans
was threatened when Halderman, who
started the four-furlong event, gave
the order to stop and changed it. The
close race that followed, however,
gave the fans a chance to forget it.
Ko-Ko-Hi and Ivan Mist, both owned
by L. G. Pierce of Shenandoah, la.,
enticed 90 per cent of the iron men.
Unconcern lived up to her name in
the six-furlong event by running
easily the first half of the race, forg
ing ahead to third place, and then
dashing across the finish the winner
of the last race. Kimberly, a favorite
on the odds, was left at the post.
C. C. Hall, secretary of the Omaha
Driving club, which put on the meet,
announced that the club will come out
ahmit even on the financial end. Many
of the horses will go to Lincoln for
the twilight races there.

Old Kid Wallace Still is
Able to Hold Own at Short
(By International News Service.)
The box scores scores of the St,
Louis Cardinals' recent games carried
the name of Kid Wallace, who still
can olay lively ball at shortstop. Wal
lace broke into the National league
nearly 25 years ago as one of the
pitchers of the Clevelands, managed
v the late Fat Tebeau. Later he
became the shortstop of the team and
made a splendid record. He has re
tired frequently and was an umpire
in the American league several years
aizo. But this old-timer loves to play
the came and refuses to quit so long
as there s a cnance to act as suDsmute
on one of the St. Louis teams. Wal
lace is at least 45 years of age.

FULTON-DEMPSEY
MATCH PLEASING
TO BOXING FANS
Prospect of 20-Round Decision
Battle Makes Ring Follow
ers Dream of Good
Old Days.
By RINGSIDER.
Chicago, June 15. And it has fin
ally come to pass that they have been
matched the giant Fred Fulton and
the Pacific coast walloper Jack Demp
sey. Ever since the Fulton-Willard
bout fell through the fans have
been clamoring for the next best bet
a bout between Fulton and Demp
sey. Now their desires should be sat
isfied. The two gladiators oftherin?
have been matched for a scrap at
Danbury, Conn., July 4.
And the beauty of this scheduled
fight is that it is to go twenty rounds.
Now this means practically a finish
fight, for when Fred and Jack get to
working their pile drivers something
ought to happen before the twenty
rounds are over. In a scrap of thatv
length one or the other ought to be
able to land a haymaker. And if he
does? well, it appears that the fight
should end right there, with the re
cipient of the haymaker stretched out
on the canvas, observing, beautiful
sunsets. If neither lands a knockout
it will look like a loafing party.
If both are still on their feet at the
end of twenty rounds a decision will
be given by the referee. This should,,
relieve the contest of possible taint. "
That the bout should go big seems
assured. Joe Mulvhill, promoter,
looks like a live wire. He has had a
lot of experience in the show line and
knows all the angles that are likel"
to arise in an event of this kind.
At Fair Grounds.
According to present plans, the bat
tle will be decided at the fair grpunds
within walking distance of the town
of Danbury. The Danbury fair for
years has been known throughout
New England as the greatest fair held
anywhere. ,
The town is situated ideally for
this purpose. It has dozens of "feed
ers" within a short distance and all
of them are good live fight towns that
should turn out handsomely for a con
test of this nature.
It is believed the fact that Demo-
sey and -Fulton have signed for the'
Fourth in Danbury disposes of the
proposed meeting there or in the
vicinity between Benny Leonard,
lightweieht champion, and "Irish"
Patsy Cline, one of the leading con-
tenders for the title.
Walsh Raps Banties.
A great roar has gone up from
Thomas Walsh that bantamweights
of today are nothing but feather
weights. ,
The banties are an interesting lot.
especially in the east and the middle
west, and as Walsh has a couple of
them in his stable he is in a pretty
fair position to judge.
Tommy has Joe Burman and Pal
Moore. They are corking good boys
who can make the weight limit of the
class 116 pounds easily. But, and
here is the rub, none of the other
banties can make the weight, and
Walsh naturally puts up his protest.
mere is no question that .tommy is
right in the general size-up of his
two men.
Moore is a classy fighter and at the
same time one of the ring's greatest
freaks. Burman is not only a classy
chap of high skill and speed, but is
also one of the greatest punchers the
division ever knew.
Walsh showed the seeminar imus-
tice of the weight problem at the .
Burman-Schneidcr bout the other '
night.
No Even Breaks.
I didn't get anything like an even
break in the weights," said Walsh.
"I had to take this bout at 119 at 3
o'clock, which let Schneider in the
rincr as a full-sized featherweight"
This bout at Peoria is a sample of
what Burman and Moore, legitimate,
bantams, have been up' against for
the last two years. Not in that
length of time has either of them
been able to find a man who would
box him at 116 pounds.
For example, Young Chanev, .the
Baltimore star, came in at 120 some
time ago, and when Dick Loadman
boxed Moore he wouldn't do lower
than that figure. Matt Hinkle staged
a show in Cleveland recently and ad
vertised two of his three 10-round
fights as bantamweight battles. Al
vie Miller shouldn't be classed as a
bantam, for he admits he is a feath
erweight, but the remainder of them,
all claiming to be bantams, made the
following figures on the scales: Joe
Lynch. 120 at 3; Benny Valger, 122
at 3; Willie Devore. 123 at 4. All
of them are in Johnny Kilbane'a
class.
Mitchell Has Goods.
The ayes seem to have it in th8
vote on whether Richie Mitchell is
the real thin? in the fighting line.
Eddie McGoorty is the latest . to
cast his vote. He was back of Toe
Welling when he and Mitchell clashed
at Milwaukee recently.
"While Welling was considerable)
of a disappointment to me for his
failure to win when he had his man
going, there is another side of the
fight one must look at," said Mc
Goorty. "That side of it is all around
the Mitchell end. It is evident tt
me that Richie is a much better bof
than mose people credit him with be
ing. I thought he put up one of tha
greatest battles in the face of a seri
ous handicao that I ever saw.
"I asked Welling about Mitchell at
the end of the third round, and Joe
told us in that corner that Mitchell,
though he seemed to be flopping and
staggering around the ring, was still
strong and had a big punch. Two
rounds after that Mitchell was en
tirely over his trouble and had his
punch working in great shape. He
staggered Welling time and again,
and Joe got a pretty eood beating,
although all through the battle Joe
kept trying his best to land some,
sort of a punch dn his man and suc
ceeded in getting home ": mri,.
