'The, teams played a listless five-inning5 exhibition game afterN Meyers left the field, Omaha winning it by a . score of 2 to 1. ,? Crutcher, Joplin pitchej-, and Mcrz, Omaha pitcher, umpired the exhibition ... game. " :. "y s Umpire Meyers work has been the cause of a great deal of dissatisfac tion ever: since "he relieved "Con" t Daley here a week ago. Both team1 have suffered in virtually every game t he umpired and several complaints have been registered with President E. W. Dickerson of theWestern league. His judgment was so bad that the game had been turned ino a farce before Kelly became "funny" and let p. one "get by." - . .. Each team scored three runs in the first inning. Omaha got theirs on two singles, a walk and two triples. The Miners' double play cut off an other run and saved the game. Jop- Una. scored, their three on a triple, a walk, a double -d Donica's error. The Omahans engineered a double steal successiuiiy in mt lourm u counted another run. Kopp, who re- lieved Manske in the iirst inning, was hit safely in the fourth for two singles. This, with a walk, a sacrifice and an error, netted the locals three more nins. , 1 . . .

ELKS IN FLAG CELEBRATION; 2,500 ATTEND UGreat Audience Takes Part in Patriotic Celebration, Given Military Caste by Pres ' ence of Soldiers. Twenty-five hundred Americans rose to their feet Sunday evening at Hanscom park at the annual Elks' Fag day celebration and deep-throat- cdly and fervently repeated after Robert Cowell the historic tribute of Daniel Webster, made in his famous Bunker Hill address: "Thank God, I, I also am an American." The audience rose as one man at the call of Mr. Cowell at the beginning of his patriotic address, one of the principal features of the program. For eight years the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has ob served Flag day. as a token ofthe Americanism and loyalty of the'or der. The celebration wal made part of the ritual of every one of the 1,360 subordinate lodges in the country by order of Henry A. Melvin, past grand exalted ruler and associate justice of the supreme court of California. Each year the ceremony of the birth of the flaf has gained in impressive ness. The audience Sunday was deep ly moved by the impressive ritual, and after the retreat and the lowering of the flag stood with bowed beads while Charles R. Docherty. exalted i tiler, pronounced the final benedic tion. Building of Liberty Bell. The building of the Liberty bell was the point - which all of the first part of the ceremony led up to. Six officers of the lodge took part: Charles R. Docherty, exalted ruler; Willis G. Sears, exalted loyal knight; I. W. Miner, secretary; John C. Barrett, ex alted leading knight; Otto Nielsen, exalted lecturing knight, and Walter C. Nelson, esquire. , To build the bell, four floral pieces, each a part of the image, were lifted from four altars, covered with purple palls. The base of deep red roses, the center of white roses, a top piece of violets and ft cross bar of smilax, were placed in position one by one. Im mediately afterwards.il strokes were sounded upon a bell to symbolize the death of 11 members of the local lodge during the last year. Rev. T. J. Mackay, pastor af All Saints' church and. chaplain of the lodge, delivered the opening prayer. A history of the United States flag was give.n by F. Pratt Harwood, past exalted ruler. A patriotic medley was sung by the Liberty octet under the, direction of Miss Millie Ryan. Dan B. Eutler, past exalted ruler, paid ithe tribute of the lodge tOthe stars and stripes. The patriotic oration of Rob ert Cowell was frequently interrupted bv applause. ' 1 "L. Pixler, civil Svarveteran, asked for permission to deliver a short ad dress. He spoke feelingly of the sac rifices made during the civil war to preserve the union, and said he was sure the present army would live up to the glorious traditions of the past. The closing -number, the , retreat, was' one of the most impressive of the whole ceremony. It was per formed under the direction of Major John G. Maher, United States- army, himself an tiK. Atter tour knaki clad buglers had sounded the retreat, a gun was fired. ArFairbrother'sband played the opening strains of the "Star-Spangled Banner," and the audi ence rose to its leet. The army of ficers on the platform and the soldiers in the audience stood at salute as the flag was lowered. The audience re mained reverently on its feet until dismissed by the benediction of Ex alted ruler Charles R. Docherty. . .

"The Vanishing West would be a better name,-de clares a Lincoln nran who attended the stockmen's convention at Alliance last week. "It was perhaps the best meeting ever held by the stockmen of the state," said the Lincoln man, "and Alliance has every right to be proud and pastimes of the west that was were numerous and vastly entertain mgr. but there was plenty of evidence that they represented a 'vanishing west,' for while there were plenty of ropers and riders and- outlaw horses, thy were outnumbered a hundred to one by the automobiles and the peo ple who never 6aw a bucker save in a wijd west show. It is a good thing to preserve as long as possible these sports and pastimes of the days whefl the west was in the making, but it will not be possible many years more." Dr. Condra of (he Welfare and Con servation commission and Will Mau pin of the Publicity bureau attended the convention and took severat nun dred feet of motion pictures of the sports for preservation in the archives of the state and for future exhibition. They will be a novelty to a majority of Nebraskans of. today and to prac tically every Nebraskan a quarter of a century. from now. Same Meaning.

"Thank you! Yes, sir!" In the streets of ondon it has come to pass that tobacco smokers accommodate each other in this man ner more often than ever before, ow ing to the fact that the metropolis to day is experiencing the greatest short age in , matches since the modern lighter has come into common usage. Smokers have no hesitancy what ever in asking the man in the street for a "bit of fire" from his pipe, cigar or cigarette, and invariably the man with the light is eager to aid the man who has a smoke in immediate pros-Pect- .....

But the German submarine and other factors have interfered with this business and so London now is srettinK alonar the best it can with little wax matches of English manufacture, which are not only ex oensive. but not of sufficient output to come anywhere near supplying the demand. - Light from Fire. In the hotel lobbies where fires are nearly always burning, little rolls of oaoer. as of the custom ot hundreds of years ago, are kept in receptacles for accommodation of the smokers who light their pipe, cigar or cigarette from the hot coals. And in the clubs, the fashionable clubs and all, the old style squatty oil lamb has again come into use, after many years of retirement, and burns in convenient places. Beside the lamp is a glass half filled with sand into which thin layers of wood are stuck after the fire is transferred from the lamp to the smokers' to bacco. Matches used in the United States are seldom seen in London, except in the hands of newly arrived Americans who, having heard of the shortage, brought their own supply. When -Mhis supply is exhausted the American adopts tne iwartime toDacco ngnting measure and soon is asking the man PHOTOPLAYS.
