that's what Saturday night's entertainment under the big top

their money's worth in real amuse
ment in the vaudeville stunts and
clever expositions of the manly arts
of wrestling and boxing in the ath
letic bouts.
The big hall held a large crowd
and the order prevailing was a com
pliment to Omaha's sporting intelli
gence. There was a liberal sprin
kling of ladies in all parts of the
house and barring the strenuousness
of the events in the squared circle,
with a showing of claret in one of the
bouts, the whole affair could have
been pulled off in a church gym
nasium so far as the proprieties were
concerned, it was so clean in every
feature.
Thrills Aplenty.
Not that the carnival was devoid
of thrills, for there were thrills
aplenty and interest in the entire
program was sustained until the
closing bell and the last announce
ment made by William Hellen.
As a result of the work of the
committee, in charge, consisting of
Carl Marfisi, Gus Renze, William B.
Byrne, Charles A. Franke, George
Brandeis, Howard Goulding, Miles
Greenleaf and Charles R. Docherty,
with Gene Melady as director, some
of the best talent obtainable m
America was assembled here for the
carnival.
The event was a benefit perform
ance given by Omaha lodge No. 39,
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks, for the Salvation Army war
fund. It was the last of a series of
pulls that this benevolent and boost
ing organization had given to the tow
line in support of the movement for
obtaining "doughnuts for doughboys"
and like everything else the lodge has
done since the inception of the drive
in this city it was a great success in
every way.
Many Vaudeville Stunts.
The large crowd began assembling
at 7:30 o'clock and was entertained
at the opening by Dan Desdune's
famous band, which not only gave a
concert prelude but played stirring
numbers between all of the rounds
of the athletic events and gingered
up the holiday atmosphere that pre
vailed. Then came the vaudeville stunts
to .entertain the crowd until the ath
letic program was on. The Boyd,
Empress, Gayety and Orpheum con
tributed he'adlmers among their
galaxy of talent to the affair and
every number on the impromptu
tunt was the best the talented per
formers could give.
M. J. Dillon and H. Henry Colin
, of the "Odds and Ends" company at
the Boyd, Guerro and Carmen of the
Empress, Lillian Isabelle, Jene Lord
and Catherine Dickie of the "Sight
Seers," at the Gayety, and Ed Rich
ards of the Orpheum entertained
with songs, dances and violin solos
and all had to respond to enthusiastic
encores.
The athletic carnival opened with
a wrestling match between John
Pesek of Shelton, Neb., and Paul
Jakonski of Poland. While the Mil
waukee man was fast and clever, he
was clearly outclassed by the Nebras
ka favorite. The exhibition, though,
was an interesting one in its exposi
tion of the science of wrestling. Pesek
got the first fall in S minutes and
41 seconds and the last down in 2
minutes and 22 seconds. i In the final
Pesek demonstrated an absolutely
new hold in the game, that of an arm
scissors and it brought home the
bacon in short order.
Young Hackenschmidt of Milwau
kee, who was fast at the start, fell
art easy victim to the Shelton panther
and his shoulders were pinned to the
mat so quickly that he did not realize
how it happened and wanted to try
it all over again. This was an added
attraction.
Ertle in Fast Go.
The 6-round go between Jack Law
ler of Omaha and Johnny Schauers
of Baltimore, both aspirants for the
light-weight championship, and each
stepping into the ring at 133 pounds,
was a very clever exhibition. It was
full of steam from start to finish and
made a fine impression.
Johnnie Ertle, St. Paul, champion
bantam-weight of the world, against
game little Bennie Vogel of Philadel
phia, gave the big audience its
money's worth in a 10-round go. The
footwork of the two men and their
technical adeptness at the game was
worth going mile to see. There was
no stalling from the moment the
gong sounded to the final round.
Young Ertle is a classy fighter and
a miniature steam engine and he had
a good boxing partner in Vogel.
Interest in the 6-round welter
weight contest between Billy Kramer
of Milwaukee, the boy who cleaned
up Australia, and Jack Malone,
champion welter-weight of the Pa
cific coast, was keyed to the highest
pitch all the way through. Both of
the men are pretty evenly matched
and are skillful fighters. It was give
and take with them and the blows
they reciprocated had an amount of
steam that satisfied even the blase
followers of the game who happened
to be in the house. It savored pretty
much of the real thing and was as
fine an exhibition of the science of the
boxing game as has ever been given
by men of their class in the city. The
crowd gave them a great meed of
applause for their clever work when
the six rounds were completed.
Miske There With Steam.
Billy Miske, light heavy-weight
champion of the world, and who has
I challenged Jess Willard, stepped into
tne ring lor a lu-rouna bout witn
Billy Hart, a clever and promising
light-weight of New York. Promo
ters Melady and Marfisi tried to get
some one of Miske's class to appear
on the program with him and chal
lenged jack Dempsey, who was in
California, and who claimed he could
not come, and Jess Willard, who is
in Denver, to enter the ring with
Miske for this benefit performance.
Willard refused to do his bit and to
help out the program, and Hart was
put in.
Miske, in getting the reach of Hart,
happened to have too much steam
in one of his jabs, which landed on
Hart's left shoulder early in the first
round and the shoulder was knocked
two inches out of place. Because of
this the bout was called until Jack
Malone entered the ring and acted as
Miske's sparring partner in a three
round exhibition.
Miske is powerful and has a punch
like a sledge hammer. He is as quick
on his feet and with his gloves as
chain lightning and has every evi
dence of possessing the head of a
great ring general. His powerful
physique and what little he could
show of his style of -fighting under
the circumstances won for him the
admiration of the big crowd.
The officials in the ring were: Har
ry Stout, official referee for the state
of WMsconsin, referee; William Hel
len, announcer; Bert Murphy,
Charles Garvey and Frank MsCaffery,
timekeepers.

DUNBOYNE WINS
BELMONT PARK
FUTURITY RACE
Purchase Proves Speediest
Horse, but Fails to Run
Straight; Finishes Third
in Field of 15.
New York, Sept 14. Running
straight and true from the rise of the
barrier to the finish, P. A. Clark's
chestnut colt, Dunboyne, by Celt
Work Maid, won the $30,000 Futurity
classic for 2-year-olds over the six
furlong straight away course at Bel
mont park today from a field of IS
starters. Sir Barton, owned by Com
modore J. K. L Ross of Canada
was second and the Brighton stables'
Purchase, a well backed second
choice, finished third. The winner's
time was 1:12 4-5.
Dunboyne, a well supported favor
ite in the betting, ran away twice be
fore Jockey Schuttinger got him un
der control for the. start. Although
carrying the heavy impost of 127
pounds Dunboyne had plenty of re
serve speed once the barrier was
sprung and he dominated the run
ning throughout, coming away easily
in the final eighth to win by two
lengths.
The Trump, Sir Barton and Pigeon
Wing were chasing the leader in the
early part of the race, while Thunder
storm ran forwardly all the way, but
Pigeon Wing stepped badly in the
last furlong.
Purchase Speediest Horse in Race.
The sensation of the race was the
wonderful performance of Purchase,
who might have been returned the
winner had he run straight. When
the barrier flew up Purchase propped
and then started at an oblique angle
toward the inner rail, from where he
shot to the ' outside fence. Before
Jockey Lyke could straighten him
across Purchase was fully eight
lengths behind the field in the first
quarter and then he began to run so
fast that he proved he was by far the
speediest horse in the race. He was
running over the other horses in the
final length and was beaten only a
half length for second money by the
outsider, Sir Barton.
Mormon after a grand race finished
fourth, with the Trump fifth and the
Wilson pair, Thunderstorm and Han
nibal, a head apart, next. Grimal
kin was eighth and the added starter,
Sea Way, ninth, followed home by
Star Hampton, Pigeon Wing, Ef
ficient, Delaware, Farmingdale and
Scotts, in the order named.
The winner's share of the stake
was $23,360.
Immediately after the race the
Brighton stable challenged the win
ner to a match race with Purchase
at the same weights and distance, and
it is likely that the two may meet at
the Aqueduct track in a special
event next Saturday.

SOLDIERS PLAY
BASE BALL WITH
NOVEJJUTFIT
Ex-Leaguer Gets "Chesty"
After Driving Ball to Short
stop; Fielders Need
Ponchos.
Base baTl as played behind the lines
by American soldiers is not always
up to the standards of the game at
home, but it is base ball nevertheless.
The paraphernalia is not always up-to-date
and the the diamond may be
lacking in the perfect finish found on
the better fields of the big cities, but
these are mere details when the sol
diers make up their minds to play
base ball. This can be seen from a
description of a contest staged not so
long ago in France.
"The ball was a fearful and won
derful thing, absolutely guiltless of
any infringement of the American
patents. A round stone, picked up
on the beach, formed its core. Around
this unyielding missile were wrapped
some rags and over this, tire tape.
Surrounding all was a piece of canvas,
roughly stitched. It was the hardest
and the "deadest" ball ever used in
competition. A giant couldn't have
hit it over 100 feet with a telegraph
pole, and it took a good lick to drive
it even as far as the pitcher. Still
it was a ball,
"The heroes who volunteered to act
as catchers in this strange contest re
fused to face the camouflaged boulder
without some protection so they made
themselves a glove. A couple of old
flannel shirts served as the founda
tion for this protector. An old shoe
provided leather for the face of the
glove and this was sewn on by the
genius who put the canvas cover on
the ball. The contrivance had no
fingers, but was held in place on the
hand with twine.
The infielders and outfielders used
their bare hands and the first base
man, who had to handle swift throws
without protection, had badly bruised
hands at the close of the game.
"For bats these ingenius soldiers
cut down some saplings and hewed
them into the desired lengths, snap
ping the handles with jack knives.
Every time the ball was hit with one
of these green sticks, the wood flew
in showers all over the infield, and the
sap deluged the fielders. There was
one ex-leaguer in this queer game,
a player who used to be so fastidious
about his bats that he had to have
them made to order. His admirers in
the bleachers would have had some
trouble in recognizing him as the
young man who picked up the first
sapling that came handy and threw
out his chest when he succeeded in
hitting the ball all the way to the
shortstop."
Suspend Four Race Drivers
for Events on Outlaw Track
New York, Sept 14. Four promi
nent automobile race drivers were
suspended for varying periods, at a re
cent meeting of the American Auto
mobile association, for competing in
unsanctioned race meets. The contest
board of the association disqualified
and permanently suspended Barney
Oldfield for competing in an unsanc
tioned track meet at Springfield, 111.
Earl Cooper was disqualified and tem
porarily suspended for a similar of
fense. Al Cotey and Tom Allen also
were disqualified and indefinitely sus
pended on like charges.
Evans, Paired with Jones,
Wins First Baltusrol Game
Short Hills. N. J., Sept 14. Charles ,
Evans, jr., of Chicago, national amateur-
and open golf champion, won :
the first of his series of Kea Cros?
matches at the Baltusrol golf club
here today. He was paired with
Bobby Jones of Atlanta. -Ga., and
they defeated Oswald Kirby and Max
Marston, present and former New
Jersey title holders, respectively. The
margin was 2 up and 1 to play. About
$3,500 was raised for the Red Cross
Harlans Shipyard Champions.
Philadelphia. Ta., Sept. 14. The
Harlan team of Wilmington, Del., t
day won the shipworkers' base ba '
championship of the Atlantic coast
by defeating the Standard team of
New York. 4 to 0.
; .
Three teams of the Greater Omaha
league will continue their battle to
day for the supremacy of the Class
A organization at Rourke park. The
pennant fight has been the most hot
ly contested ever witnessed in an
Omaha amateur organization.
Three teams, the Armours, Murphys
and Longways were tied for first
place at the end of the regularly
scheduled season. It was decided to
play a series of six games, each team
to engage in a double-header with
the other two, to decide the title.
On last Sunday the Longways lost
both games of their double-header to
the Omaha teams and put a big dent
into their pennant possibilities. They
have not given up, however, by rea
son of occupying the cellar position
and will endeavor to again tie up the
series with the other teams.
Murphys Play Two.
Today the Murphy-Did-Its will go
the two-game route. In the first
contest they will be faced by the
Longways and in the second by the
Armour lads from Packertown. The
Armours are confident of annexing
their game and securing a hand-hold
on the top rung of the championship
ladder. The Murphys are equally con
fident of winning both games and
practically cinching the bunting.
The first game will be called at
1:30 p. m., at Rourke park.
With the disbanding of the West
ern league base ball, fans have taken
great interest in amateur games. A
large crowd was present at the open
ing game of the series last Sunday
and a capacity audience is expected
today.
The greatest of Interest is being
manifested in the Armour-Murphy
imbroglio. Andy Graves, who will ap
pear on the mound for the packers,
has had an edge on the blacksmiths
all season and a strenuous attempt
will be made to reverse on him in
the crucial contest. Both teams are
evenly matched a's is evidenced by
their record during the last season,
when every game between the two
teams was decided by one un.
Lee Magee Yellow? Fans
At Cincinnati Say "Yes"
Cincinnati, Sept. 14. Is Lee
Magee yellow? Cincinnati fans, who
have soured upon the former Yankee,
are convinced that he is, and point
to the fact that he will not play
against the Giants as proof of their
charge. The story current in Cin
cinnati is that Magee cannot stand
the kidding which is always his por
tion when he encounters the Giants
and that he manages to find some
excuse for not playing every time
the Reds and Giants hook up. It will
be remembered that Magee did not
take part in the recent series between
the teams in New York. It was be
lieved at that time that he was not
yet over the effects of his scrap with
Earl Neale in Brooklyn, but he de
nied this and said he was resting be
cause it was "too hot." He got back
into the lineup when the Reds left
New York, but again subsided to the
dugout when the Giants hit Cincin
nati more recently.
Spoils Triple Play in
Giants-Pirates Battle
Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 14. The
stage was set for the Pirates to make
a triple play in the sixth inning of a
recent game in Pittsburgh and only
the speedy footwork of Arthur
Fletcher prevented Bezdek's men
from perfecting a three-ply killing.
Doyle opened the frame with a single
to center and Fletcher reached first
when Cutshaw, in his eagerness to
start a double play, fumbled the
Giants' captain's grounder. Zimmer
man then lashed the ball on a line in
the direction of left field, but Boone,
leaping into the air, speared the drive
with his gloved hand. Doyle and
Fletcher had darted from their re
spective bags and Larry was easily
doubled up on Boone's quick peg to
Cutshaw. The Pirate second sacker
shot the ball to Mollwitz to complete
a triple play, but Fletcher scrambled
back into the bag a fraction of a
second in advance of the arrival of
the pellet.
LONG TRIPS FOR
COLLEGE GAMES
PUT UNDER BAN
Athletic Sports Encouraged h)
War Department, but Foot
Ball Schedules Disar
ranged by Ruling.
Washington, Sept. 14. Athletic
sports as formerly pursued, involving
extended trips and specialized train
ing, will not be permitted at colleges
and other institutions having army
students training corps, Lol. R. I.
Rees, chairman of the War depart
ment committee on education and
special training, has advised presi
dents of such institutions in a letter
made public here today.
It will be the policy of the com
mittees, however, strongly to en
courage athletic sports within each in
stitution and with neighboring insti
tutions Colonel Rees said, in cases
in which the distances are so short
as to necessitate no interruption of
the weekly schedule of academic and
military training.
Athletic sports as formerly pur
sued, involving extended trips and
specialized training, are inconsistent
with the soldiers' program of drill
and study," said the letter. "Athletic
directors and professors of physical
education who are already in the em
ploy of the student's training camp .
institutions can ic uscu in tuiinci.
tion with intermural sports and for
the assistance of the officers in charge
of military physical training.
"The commanding officer at each
institution will be in charge of the "
physical condition and training of the
men under his command and will be
responsible for co-ordinating the mili-"
tary training, routine and discipline
with athletic sports.
After receipt of this letter the presi
dents of several colleges wrote to
senators protesting that the plan
would prevent intercollegiate toot
ball this season and until the end of
the war, with a consequent financial
loss to the schools, which already had
arranged schedules of games and
made contracts for playing them.
In addition to. preventing intercot
cegiate foot ball the ruling also may
make it impossible for the institu-
tinm s nsrririnat in intercnllrff'-'e
base ball and other sports.
Heine Groh Claims Short s-;
Hit Record of Two Inchss-Tf
New York, Sept 14. Various .
players have laid claim to the honor
of making the longest hit in a cham-.
pionship ball game, yet there is no (
disnute as to who is entitled to the,.
credit for making the shortest Heinie ;
Groh accomplished that feat in a re- ,
cent game between the Giants and
Reds in Cincinnati The, Reds' third ,
sacker lunged vigorously at a ball de- . ;
livered to him by Perritt but only'.' .!
"topped" the pellet and darted away,
toward first base. Bill Rariden, who , 1
was catching, looked in vain for the I
ball, as did every member of the :
Giant infield, until at last Groh had r
reached first in safety. Umpire Rig- , ?
ler pointed it out to Rariden. The
pellet lay on fair territory not more ' . :
than two inches in front of the plate, t
having struck in the depression in '
front of the rubber, where it hugged '
the earth, neither bounding nor roll
ing away. .

About $15,000 was netted as a result
of the match. ,

Cleveland, Sept. 14. Western Re '
