In a game abounding in freak plays and incidents and heavy hit ting oy Dotn teams, the Armours easily won second place in the Greater Omaha league from the Council Bluffs Longeways. This ends all games betwen Omaha ama teur league teams for this season. The fine weather which greeted the teams yesterday started con siderable argument among players as to the class of the Armour team. A game was arranged for next Sun day by Pat Ragan, former Rourke and now with the Brooklyn Na tionals. He will appear on the mound in person and will be backed by a team composed of league players and the pick of the Longe way and Murphy teams. Heavy hitting and odd breaks in the game were responsible for the big score. The odd breaks were greatly enjoyed by the fans, who were kept entertained by first class base ball from the tap of the gong. Manske Plays Leap Frog. The Longeways scored one run when a base runner stole home while VVilliams was peacefully visit ing with the batsmen. Another basjrunner, apparently becoming tired, fill down running from third to home and was tagged out. Manske losing a high fly in the sun spiked himself after playing leap frog with the third baseman, who was also after the ball. Francis, whp started for the Council Bluffs earn, was knocked out of the box in the third inning and renlaced hv Manske. Ford and Christiansen finished the game after Manske was hurt. League pitched the entire game for the Armours and at no time was in serious danger. He had good con trol and refused to issue a pass. score BRINGING UP FATHER Copyright, J17 International Vews Service.

HUGHES RETAINS TITLE OF GOLF CHAMP Present Title Holder Defeats W. J. Foye in City Cham ship Tournament by Three Strokes. Tack W. Hughes, city golf cham pion and member of the Omaha Field club, earned the right to this title for another year, when he finished low man in the city golf tourney yesterday on the Country club links. Hughes completed the required 72 holes, the first 36 of which were played a week ago at the Field club, with a total of 323 strokes. His card for the final 18 holes, which he played Sunday, showed a tally of 79. W. J. Foye, whose total for the tournament is 326, was second and within three strokes of the win ner. Interest in the tourney faded somewhat Sunday with the result that few golfers finished and fewer still turned in their cards. The in terest centered around Hughes, Foye, W. N. Chambers and M. H. LaDouceur. Although Hughes led Foye Saturday night by four strokes with 18 holes yet to be played, many members of the Country club ex pected Foye to infsh in the lead. His score for the final 18 bettered Hughes' by one, but the 18 of the final 36 played Saturday evened the advantage. DaDouceur, who Saturday night was third, was outclassed Sunday in the last 18 holes by the other con test leaders yet maintained by a two-point margin his place in the race. His total was 334 and Cham bers', who finished fourth, was 336. Hughes' game Sunday bettered his Saturday playing by three strokes and equalled the bogey for the course. His totals in and out were also just bogey. Following is a summary of the totals last week, Saturday, Sunday and the grand total: Hughes 162 82 79 323 Foye 165 83 78 326 LaDouceur 164 83 87 334 Chambers 174 84 78 336 The score by holes for the quartet yes terday was: Hughes Out ..56644446 341 In. ..44454536 33879 Fox Out .5 6 4 4 3 4 4 6 439 In...J 4 5 6 6 5 3 6 43978 LoDouceur Out ..76654438 345 In. ..4 4646545 44287 Chambers Out ..7 5 4 3 4 5 4 6 441 .

I ' ; ' , mm mm& fcaaaMitejajMaiieaMi Yankee Private Baker Prisoner in Germany; Back in Eighteen Hours With the American Forces in France. Oct. 5. Private Edward F. Baker, of Pittsburgh, Pa., is one of the few Americans who claims to have been a prisoner in Germany and then escaped back to the line of his comrades. Here is an outline of the story told by Baker when he came into Fismes Lte one night soon after the Americans took pos session of that town. Early one morning there had been street fight ing in Fismes and in an encounter several Germans got the drop on Baker and marched him back to their lines. Before noon the Germans had Baker working in trenches, and they kept him digging in one place or another most of the afternoon without as much as even suggesting that he might want something to eat. Late in the afternoon the Ameri. cans started an attack, preceding it with a heavy barrage from the artillery. Naturally this caused quite a commotion among the Germans on the hills north of Fismes. When the German guarding Bak er turned his head to look in the direction of the whL of an Ameri can shell Baker seized a stick of wood and struck the guard a blow on the head, and then ran into a nearby wood, toward the Americans. None of the Germans followed him, al though several soldiers fired with their rifles as he disappeared in the brush. American Wits More Than Match for Hun Strategy With the American Armies in France, Oct. 6. There is a battle of wits as well as a battle of guns along the American front in the moun tainous Lorraine country near the southeastern end of the western front Germans try to deceive the American intelligent officers by ing their machine-gun and batteries to a new position every night. The Americans solved this prob lem by using a series of tracing maps which may be made daily and super imposed upon one another. When these are compared, the various points to which the guns have been moved are indicated. Then comes the opportunity for the American artillery to do this work upon them. JACK W. HUGHES Frank Builta Leaves for Officers' Training Camp Frank Builta of the Nebraska Telephone company has received notice that his application for en trance to the field artillery officers' training school at Camp Taylor, Ky., had been accepted. He expects to receive orders to report shonly. Like other candidates for artillery officers, Mr. Builta will enlist as a private soldier. At the end of four months' training, candidates for of- ' ficers in the artillery branch, if they pass required examinations, are gen erally given sergeancies and serve in that capacity until recommended for commissions as second lieutenants. In sorne cases, however, commis sions in that rank are awarded on graduation from the training school. In addition to his work with the telepnone company, Mr. Builta has had charge of the publicity and sales methods work for the Nebraska War Savings committee. A successor for him in this work has not been chosen. Carl J. Lord, who has been his assistant at the telephone com pany, will take up his work there. John Stutz Kills Himself.

Corn Market Weakened By Continued Fa vorable War Development. Chicago, Oct. 7. Progress In the smashing of German defense lines made the corn msrket today average lower, and so likewise did a renewal of peace talk. The close was heavy, quarter to 1 down with November $1.29 to $1.294, and December $1.28. Oats gained c to c. Provisions finished Irregular, 6c off to 12c advance. Sharp watch of war developments, es pecially in France and Belgium, shut out all other factors In the corn market ex cept peace tactics and the' need of week end adjustment of trades. As a whole business was light, and any disposition to jilunge on either side of the market ap peared to be lacking. Uncertainty caused by peace gossip was Just piquant enough to give bears the advantage In connection with the steady field successes of the entente. Few dealers, however, took the latest Teutonic peace moves very seriously as promising genlune results. On the other hand, all upturns In values proved transient, and were ascribed to shorts covering for the week end. Kansas City Live Stock. Kansas City, Oct. 6. Cattl!

SOLDIER COMING OUT OF BATTLE GETS JOT BATH Even with Meager Equipment American Fighting Men Are Kept in Good Condition. Correspondence Associated Preis. With the American Army In France. Oct. '5. When a sol dier comes out of battle the things he longs for are a piping hot meal, a shave, a bath, a change of clothing, and a real bed. During the July and August offensive when the Ger mans were driven across the Marne to the Vesle and with the Americans on the move northward day and night it was no easy matter to pro vide the soldiers with these essen tials but day after day the task was accomplished and in many instances the water for bathing purposes was hot. Further improvement of the sys tem of providing baths for the men on the very edge of the battlefields is contemplated. American officers say that the day is not far away when the rolling shower bath appar atus will be as common a sight along the roads back of the lines as are the rolling kitchens today. One of the divisions engaged in the recent fighting used 48 shower heads and also a disinfector in which battle soiled clothing was sterilized. "Even with this meager epuip ment we have been able to keep the fighting men in good condition," an officer reported. "At the bathin? center we can bathe 1,200 to 1,500 men each day. During the offensive we averaged 1,027 men per day. As they were relieved from the line they were either marched to baths or transported in camions, and every man was given a good, hot bath and change of clothing. In four days 5,642 men and 137. officers passed through the baths. "The effect of the baths on the men was wonderful. They came, from the front lines worn out dirty, clothing torn, and left the baths splendidly bucked up, physically and mentally. As most of these men had to go back into the line a few days after coming out, one can ap preciate the value of a bath and change of clothing. "It was exceedingly gratifying to feel that we did not necessarily cease to work while the division was in action, at,.a time when it was very importantthat the men coming back should have the effect of a bath and clean clothing." The medical officer's report sets forth that efforts are under way to arrange for transportation of the bathing equipment "so as to continue the bathing program whenever the division moves to a new area.' t In many instances the soldiers rest camps are located along streams and when this is the case the men are taken in detachments of several hundreds at a time for a real sum mer swim and allowed to remain in the water as long as they like. But up in front, when baths are being provided within , sound of ' thfl big' guns, each man Is only auowed.so many minutes in the .water and he comes out looking forward to get ting back to civilization and con templating spending an hour or so in a nice big tub. Supreme Court Reverses Kraus Murder Verdict Lincoln, Oct. 6. (Special.)--The decree of the Saline county district court is reversed by the supreme court, wherein Rudolph Kraus was convicted of murder in the first de gree for killing his wife, and given a life sentence. The killing was ad mitted, but the plea was "insanity . superinduced by intoxication. After killing his wife Krause also killed his two children, a daughter of two years and a son of four years. Reason for the crime was that tie had understood that his winter wheat was all killed and so he got drunk and went home and killed his sleeping wife and babies. He then laid" down beside them and at tempted to take his own life. The higher court sends the case back for trial because of errors in court instruction Airplane Altitude Record Made by American Flyer New York, Oct. 6. Capt. R. W.
