AMATEURS START
FIGHT FOR TITLE
AT HOLMES PARK
Roots and Daily News Meet in
Class C and Cash Registers
and Sample-Harts in
Class B.
The annual fall championship series
of the Omaha Amateur Base Ball as
sociation will get under way this aft
ernoon, when teams of the Class B
and C leagues will clash for titular
honors at Holmes park.
The Class C contest will be waged
between the J. B. Roots and the Daily
News teams. The Roots captured
the pennant in the Booster league and
the Daily News in the Inter-City
league.
The Sample-Harts and the Nation
al Cash Registers will fight it out
for Class B honors. The Sample
Harts won the American league flag
in the pennant race and the Natioal
Cash Registers collected the titular
emblem in the City league.
These games are the only Inter
league championship games which wifl
be staged this season by the Omaha
Amateur Base Ball association, as
there are only two Class B and two
Class C leagues this year. There is
only one Class A league, the Greater
Omaha.
Registers Favorites.
The Daily News team is the rank
ing favoite in the Class C squabble,
although the Roots are a fast aggre
gation and a warm conflict is antici
pated. The National Cash Registers
are favored in the Class B row, owing
to the preference of the fans for the
City league and the string of vic
tories its pennant winners have behind
them. But the American league fol
lowers declare the City league is to
receive a jolt this season as the Sample-Harts
are an unusually swift
crew.
The first game today will be between
the Roots and the Daily News. It
starts at 1:30. The National Cash
Registers and Sample-Harts will in
augurate hostilities at 3:30.

Miss Riley had a big lead over

Saturday. She won the first game,

OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST
EMSLIE UMPIRE
IN BIG LEAGUES
FOR MANY YEARS
PJational League Veteran Cele
brates His Twenty-Seventh
Birthday as Arbitrator
of Close Ones.
BY JACK VEIOCK.
New York, Aug. 11. On the 19th
day of this month Bob Emslie, vet
eran National league umpire, will
celebrate his 27th birthday in the
mother league.
Emslie, one of the most successful
and consistent arbiters who has ever
called 3) strike in the big leagues, is
57 years of age, but he is still there
as t judge of play. Had the National
league disbanded before August 19
Emslie would have been out of a job
for the first time since he started as
an umpire, and this alone is sufficient
evidence of his class.
The major league experience under
Emslie's hat would fill a young li
brary, and it would be an interesting
library, too. But Bob is one of the
non-talkative sort. He just goes
about his umpiring, making a life
work of it, and says nothing about
himself or the trials and triumphs he
has encountered over a period of 27
seasons.
Started as Pitcher.
Emslie was once a pitcher, like
Hank O'Day. He got his start in Can
ada, for he hails from that estimable
town of Guelph, Ontario, where he
first saw the light on June 21, 1861.
He started out playing ball at a
tender age and soon became known
as a crack semi-professional pitcher.
In 1878 he was signed by the Harris
ton, Ontario, team, and in addition
was given a hotel clerkship in Har
riston, which at least meant bed and
board. His salary ranged from $1.50
to $1.75 per game, and Bob was in
his glory. He was a member of the
same team that held title to tne
famous and original Tip O'Neil, and
he was proud of it.

UNCLE SAM HAS
ARMY OF BOXERS
War Is Giving Great Impetus
to the Fighting Game in
Which New Standards
Are Coming.
By RINGSIDER.
Chicago, Aug. 10. War lias a way
of changing things considerably, such
as, for instance, the relative standing
of the American army, in the eyes
of the Germans before the present
counter-offensive and since and it
hasn't left boxing alone, cither. '
Days were when to box meant to
learn the tango, and the fox trot, and
the highland fling in order to duck
your opponent. If you could side
step and dodge and get your arms
well in the way of the other fellow's
smashes you might push the game
along for 20 rounds or so, make the
fellow who paid for a box seat feel
he'd received something for his mon
ey, and win the gratitude of the man
ager and money for yourself.
But since the war has started and
Uncle Sam has put boxing right in
the curricula at the training camps
alongside sharp-shooting, machine
gun drill, and sticking the dummy
Germans with the bayonet, things
have changed considerably. For,
while boxing is part of the daily bread
of the fighting man, none of this
feinting, dodging and sidestepping
will go.
In other words, your Uncle Sam
believes in giving the United States
soldiers the idea that when he starts
something he's to go through with it.
That means this the American
public has got a vision of real fight
ing when men go in, not to guard
against the other fellow so much as
to let the other fellow know there
is some one with fists in the ring.
It's a new sensation for the audience
-and they like it.
So that when the war is over not
only will German autocracy be
knocked out of the ring of world pol
itics, but also out of the boxing ring
will go the old 20-more-or-less round
bouts, and the game in America will
continue to be a fast and furious one
because, under the new method, no
one can last for a long go.
Aad the people won't have any
thing else..
Again the war calls to mind one of
its changes it has made out of an
ordinary ring, peace-time fighting
man a world war-time fighting man
of the first caliber to wit, Gene Del
mont. Gene is "up in the air" in the right
sense of that phrase, raising hell with
the Germans.
"I have a nice litle boxer, Gene
Delmont, in my wing," wrote Maj.
Cushman A. Rice, famous American
traveler, soldier and general adven
turer, now recovering from aviation
wounds received on the front. "He
is making the finest kind of a soldier
and is in line for big things before
this fuss may be over. At present
uene is right up there on the front
line where every young man who has
the nerve to say he is a fighting man
should be."
It's an ill wind that blows nobody
good, and Gene, so Major Rice
writes, is finding himself in this great
est boxing game that the world has
ever seen in which the lessons of
the ring are finding worth-while re
sults. Chicago River Marathon

yray of the Great Lakes naval train

Many Colleges Decide
To EliminatJ Foot Ball
Boston, Aug. 10. An indication
that many colleges have decided. to
eliminate foot ball this fall was given
in a statement issued here today by
Charles R. Cox, graduate manager of
athletics of Georgetown university,
Washington. Mr. Cox announced that
Georgetown would have no eleven
this year because of the number of
institutions on its schedule which had
cancelled games.

HANK GOWDY IS
LEARNING HOW
TO GASGERMANS
Gas to Replace Bat for Gowdy
in This Year's World's
Series; Promotions for
Base Ball Star.
Ed Reulbach, former big league
pitcher, who is now associated with
the Submarine Boat Capacity, is in
receipt of a letter from "Hank"
Gowdy, former Boston Brave, who
has been "doing his bit" in France
for some time.
The letter, first published in Speed
Up, the official weekly publication of
the submarine corporation, elicits the
news that Gowdy is being schooled in
the use of gas and is acting as a non
commissioned officer in that division.
He enlisted in the artillery. The
letter follows:
"We have been kept busy and we
have been at the front now just about
four months. Just returned from gas
school. Am acting as regular gas
noncommissioned officer and it's very
interesting. A boche plane was
brought down here yesterday. It
was on fire and two Germans just
about burned up. One of them
jumped out. The club (meaning Bos
ton) is going bad and in last place,
according to the Taris paper. I hope
they do not stop base ball, because
it would sure hurt the game, and an
other thing, the people need it. But
some of the fellows that are of age
should enlist. I cannot understand
how they can stand back. By the
way, give my regards to Arthur Ir.
win. He is a fine fellow."
Soon after the United States be
came involved in the war "Hank"
tossed aside his catcher's mask and
glove and enlisted with an Ohio reg
iment. He was among the first big league
stars to answer to his country's call.
Before he left for France he held
a sergeant's commission, and judg
ing from his letter to Reulbach, he
is on his way to higher honors. He
has been "over the top" and has been
recommended for bravery.
It was "Hank's" big bat that
played a prominent part in the Ath
letics-Braves series for the world's
championship a few jears back,
when the Beantown team took four
straight from the Mackmen and
amazed the base ball world.
