SPEED DEMONS
"IN SPOTLIGHT AT
THE BENSON OVAL
Dirt Track Auto facers Expect
to Shatter Records in the
Championship Contest
Sunday Afternoon.
Omaha will occupy the spotlight
of the sport world this afternoon
when at Benson park, 10 or more of
the world's most famous dirt track
pilots with the fastest cars will com
pete in a series of events to decide
the dirt track championship.
R. Burr Lampkin, hailed as the dirt
track speed king, has been tun
ing up his big Roamer car and
states that he is ready and
that the condition of the track will
warrant the setting of new records
Burr is the holder of 31 state and
track records and also has the dis
tinction of having established three
world's records in one afternoon. On
August 24 at Des Moines, la., Lamp
kin hung up new marks for the IS, 20
and 25-mile distances on the half
mile track. The 25 miles was driven
in 29 minutes and 40 seconds, this
after being forced to the pits for a tire
change. The Benson track has been
pronounced to be equal to or better
than that at Des Moines, so the fans
who journey out to these events Sun
day will undoubtedly see something
in the way of speed and sensations
that will be a surprise to even a resi
dent of Omaha.
Drivers Arrive.
e John Boyd of Tulsa, Okl., has en
tered his big Packard Twin Six in
five of the events to be staged on
the program and believes that his
chances of scoring a few points are
s bright as the best of them.
Frank Allen of Indianapolis and his
Hudson Super-Six are a combination
that should be able to finish inside the
money, as are also Earl Epperson of
Dallas and his Monk Mercer No. 11.
Roy Davisson of Sabetha, Kan., has
the famous French speed creation, the
Dans l'Argent, and expects to clip
something from the records with this
bundle of dynamite.
Chappie Dasbach of Los Angeles
lias made no predictions as to where
he and his Maxwell Special will finish,
but simply says that he will be there
all the time and should be able to
finish soon after the field at least.
The Maxwell was formerly a mount
of Eddie Richenbacher's, and those
who know the car say that it is ca
pable of unlimited speed.
Big Cars Will Race.
Willis Young of Salina, Kans., has
lomething fast in the way of dirt
track wagons in his Young Special
which was designed and built es
pecially for half mile tracks. Young
expets to grab off quite a considerable
roll with his unique car and predicts
freely that the driver who beats him
will come Close to setting a world's
record for the distance.
Farmer Paul Henderson of Chicago
has entered his 290-horse-power Fiat
Submarine and has been matched
gaainst Lampkin with the Jumbo
Benz. This should prove to be an
event of absorbing interest as these
two monster cars have never been
matched against each othere. While
the Benz holds the world's record for
one mile straightaway in twenty-five
and one-fifth seconds, the Submarine
is only about 3 seconds slower, hav
ing been driven a mile in twenty
seven and three-fifths seconds.
Special Auto Polo Game.
Ted Lecocq of Des Moines has his
Midget Bullet all properly groomed
and Eddie Buchanan of Louisville
has the Baby Mine ready for the two
events in which he is entered. These
two cars have a wheel base of only
76 inches and yet are motored with
i 70-horse-powerer motor of won
derful design. They are said to be
capable of turning the short half-mile
tracks at a speed that would be next
to suicide were it attempted in a car
of larger dimensions.
As an added event the Original
American and English Auto Polo
teams will give a three period ex
hibition of auto polo. Press and pub
lic have christened this new sport,
"Motor Insanity," which is about the
best description that can be applied
to this, the very acme of achieve
ments in the sport world.
Taken all in all the program as ar
ranged for the meet at Benson should
furnish one with all the thrills and
sensations that could be crowded in
one afternoon and the speed fans are
issured of seeing the most famous
dirt track pilots in the gentle pastime
of chasing records.
Dunn Says He WilfNot Play
a Lot of Kids and Old Men
Unless James C. Dunn, owner of
Ihe Cleveland American League club,
has a change of heart, there will be
no major league base ball in Cleve
land next year.
"I don't know what my colleagues
think about continuing next year, but
if I must build up a team of school
boys and old men I will not open my
gates. I am not in favor of minor
league base ball in a big league town.
We had better let the amateurs have
the field to themselves until the war
is over when the pame , will come
back to its own," Dunn said.

RENOVATED BASE
BALL WILL COME
BACK AFTER WAR
If Magnates Are Wise Game
Will Be Stronge" Than Ever
Before; Changes
Are Needed.
By JACK VEIOCK.
New York, Aug. 3. Base ball will
come back stronger and better than
ever after the war is over, if the
powers that be take advantage of the
opportunity that is coming to them
to rehabilitate the game.
War has hit base ball a solid
smash, rocking it from stem to stern;
causing heavy financial losses to the
club owners and resulting in a cer
tain falling off of interest on the part
of the public.
But the coming of peace will wipe
out these obstacles if the magnates
will only get busy.
Base ball needs renovating. There
is no denying the fact that the ad
ministrative end of the game has
reached the point where a reinforced
foundation is imperative.
Ban Johnson recently remarked
that a cessation of the game would
give the magnates a chance to turn
their attention to the working out
of political problems that have been
held up too long alriady.
Must Reorganize Commission.
One of these problems is a reor
ganization of the National commis
sion. The American league demands it,
and some of the more conservative
National league club owners realize
that it is an eventuality that cannot
be dodged, and admit as much.
The high tribunal of base ball,
with two National league representa
tives in its makeup, was a fine thing
for the old league. The American
league has a capable battler on the
commission in the person of Ban
Johnson, but two votes against Ban's
one gave the Nationals the edge, and
the recent clash over the case of
bcott ferry shows that all was not
serene in the ranks of the "com
mish." What the commission needs i the
presidents of the twoieacues and a
third and disinterested party to act
as chairman. Garry Herrmann has
been a ranah! rhuirmnn vit f.jrrv
is a National league club owner. The
unru person must De a man tnor
oughly versed in base ball from ev
ery angle and disinterested alto
gether in a financial way with either
major league. The minor leagues,
too, should be represented. They
should at least be represented by the
neutral chairman of the commission,
if not permitted to have a represen
tative of their own choosing to sit
with the commission in cases where
minor league clubs are involved.
Chance to Recuperate.
Another thing that is bound to
come in for attention in the major
leagues is the expense of running the
game. The first thing every club
owner will attempt when the war is
over will be to recuperate his, losses.
He will grab a big axe and start chop
ping away at the pay roll, and he
will be able to get away with it by
the time a new crop of players is
ready to step into the shoes of the
high-salaried stars of the present,
many of whom will pass along within
a short time.
Fair salaries for the players must
be paid always, for they are the lads
who Keep me game anve. let the
magnates brought about abnormal
salaries themselves by reckless bid
ding for a player's services in the
days when the game was at its
height, and the -player soon learned
how to take advantage of the rivalry
between club owner

By PETER P. CARNEY.
It is the opinion of trapshooters
generally that the real classic event
of the Grand American Handicap
Trapshooting tournament is the one
deciding the national amateur trap
shooting championship title.
The Grand American Handicap
Trapshooting tournament begins Aug
ust S and concludes August 9. The
national amateur championship event
will be shot on August 6. The tourna
ment will be held over the traps of
the South Shore Country club, Chi
cago. Every contestant in the national
amateur championship event is a
champion. And the winner might
well be known as the champion of
champions. None but the winners of
state championships are eligible to
participate in the national titular con
test. Every competitor is the repre
sentative of a state. It is the only
out-and-out championship event in
America. The winner of the event is
the national amateur trapshooting
champion in every sense the word im
plies. This will be the fifth year for the
championship event, and two previous
winners, Newcomb of Pennsylvania
and Troeh of Washington, are again
among those who have a chance to
take away the honor. Three of the
shooters in winning their state titles
broke 100 straight, seven others broke
99, 10 broke 98 and 11 broke 97.
Every state championship was won by
a score better than 90.
Those Who Have Repeated.
Just to prove that the state cham
pions are the class in their respective
states, one has only to go through
this list: Pendergast in New York and
King in Colorado have each won the
titles in their states four years in
succession; Weaver in Rhode Island
has won the title three times running;
Chezik in North Dakota won in 1914.
1917 and this year; this is Newcomb's
second win of the Pennsylvania state
title, the third victory for E. E. Reed
in New Hampshire and the third for
Barclay in Vermont, as well as the
third for Barrett in Georgia. Troeh
has won the championship of Wash
ington twice, as has Bryant in Michi
gan, Tomlin in New Jersey, Chatfield
in Arkansas, Meyers in South Dakota
and Osborne in Massachusetts and
Key in Mississippi have each won
three time.
Going over state championship de
tails it is worth recording that Ten
derpast in New York .state had a
straight run of 302 in the four vears
he has won the title. He, missed his
eighty-sixth target this year on peg
5. trap S. the same peg and trap that
he lost all three targets in 1915.
Something out of the ordinary will
he shown in this event when Harley
Woodward, a lad of IS years, comes
to the trans as the renresentative of
Texas. This lad tied E. F. Forsgard
for the title and beat the veteran in
the shoot-off.
Here is the roster of the shooters
who are eligible to participate in the
race:

NEW LEAGUES TO
START SEASON ON
LOCAL SAND LOTS
Armours and Holmes White
Sox to Mix at Luxus Park
This Afternoon; Other
Games Schealed.
Bv FRANK OUIGLEY.
Two more leagues will be ushered
through the gates today when the
Liberty league and the Sunset league
start the ball a rolling. All the
teams of these two leagues are gro
ceries, .so some fast snappy ball is
looked for. From present indications
it is a safe wager that large crowds
will be on deck to lamp the boys over.
A nifty battle should be reeled off
at Luxus Park when the Holmes
White Six and the Armours hook up
for the third time this season. Here
of late the Armours hav? been tearing
thinas up and although they were in
the doubtful column for some time, it
looks like they might roll in with the
bacon of the Greater Omaha league,
Harry Williams has sure helped to
boost this team up the lull.
Ready for Pennant.
Manager Delaware is of the opinion
that the Armours will again have the
Greater Omaha league magnates pitv
a rose on them as a token of their
championship ability. Anyway this
tattle today ought to be a nifty affair
because the Holmes are also going
like the boys over in France.
Baker, Zink or Oscar Grant will
hoist the cherry for the Holmes and
in all probability the grandfather of
amateur base ball, Andy Graves, will
toss the pill for the packersville crew.
Well, the Murphy-Did-lts ought to
be able to win a game today because
they back up against ihe Beselins.
present proprietors of the cellar of the
Greater Omaha league. But the Bese
lins might pull the unexpected and
travel away with the large end of the
score. Since their vacation party at
Alma, Mich., the Blacksmiths have
failed to knock the cover off the ball
and as a consequence no games have
ben copped by them. Hay will be oil
the rubber for the Murphys today and
that elongated Arthur Dyck will slide
'era over the grove for the Beselins.
Mix at Bluffs.
Over at Athletic Park the Longe
ways and the Krajiceks will clash.
These two teams are both playing fast
snappy ball, so a tough row for the
winning pearly is looked for by fol
lowers of both squads.
Two clever battles are booked for
at Thirty-second and Dewey avenue
and another pair are on the menu at
Riverview Park. It is a leather-bound
cinch that these two parks will be
taxed to their capacity if weather con
ditions are favorable.
