The statement says: - . 'The decision made by Justice ' Stafford that organized base ball violated prohibitions of the Sher ' man act, was not rendered in a "suit by the United States to dissolve the combination. ..The decision, therefore, necessitates no modifica tion of the system under which or . ganized basebair is operating. Great investments depend upqn its contin- uance. The government of the United States has not challenged it. On the contrary, when the atten tion of the Department of Justice was called to the system and its .x operation, the .department decided no reason was perceived for govern mental interference. ; "All clubs and players are accord ingly advised that business will pro ceed as usual, and, that all legal con tracts must be lived up to by the jpaftiei to. them." .

EASY, SAYS GLIM A CHAMPION Exponent of Iceland'sifletliod of Defense Touring Country in Exhibitions of His Art; at Orpheum Here. Take it from Johannes Josefssen of Iceland, Stecher, Pesek and all the rest of the big wrestlers aren't in it with the Glima experts of Ice land, You will ask, Who is Josef ssen and what is Glima? Well, Jo hannes is the world's - champion Glima expert, now touring the United States, giving exhibitions in Glima, appearing this week at the Orpheum theater. Glima is the na tional sport and defense method of Iceland, just the same as Jiu Jitsu is in Japan, only it is greater and better than Jiu Jitsu and the cham pion has proven it by beating Otagwf, the Japanese champion, in a bout in New York City. . The Icelander has not taken part in a real contest for several years, but when Frank Gotch was in his prime as champion wrestler, he of fered to throw Gotch in less than two minutes. According to the rules of Glima, he would not have to pin both shoulders, one is enough, and he can do that on any living man. As a method of defense, Johannes says it is the gteatest in the world. Better" than all the boxing, wrest ling or a gun. It is necessary to learn the art of controlling the feet and perfecting a perfect balance on the feet, to become expert in Glima, but having V)iice mastered it, you need fear no attacks by thugs or cops or anything else. You can easily master five or six of them. Give him sufficient- time forA a course of training and Johannes says he will show Omaha wrestling fans how good Glima is, by throw ing both the local favorites, Stecher and Pesek, inside a time limit of 20 minutes, Glima rules. More than that, he says he can do it easily. He has beaten a number of crack heavy weight wrestlers just as hi has said he would, and wound" up with trim ming the Japanese champion of Jiu Jitsu just to show that Glima is superior to the Jap's art. Athletes at Central High Preparing" for Base Ball and Track Central high base ball and track athletes will turn out this afternoon to organize for the coming season. Class track teams will be lined up to prepare for the annual interclass track meet and the state meet to be h.eld in Lincoln, May 10. While track prospects are rosy, yet the diamond outlook is not so good.'jNo schedule has been drawn up nor any offers of games made by teams outside of the city. Although Only a handful of fellows have signi fied their intention of turning out, yet an attempt will be made to . or ganize a nine. Art Logan, Leonard Mangold, ' Paul arid Leo Konecky, Kenneth Baker, Lynton Ayers, Hob Turner, Frank McGrath and Art Burnham are among those who in tend to get out their mits.

The sisters had not seen one another for seven yeai;s. They were separated when. the mother of the girls ran away. : Clara Carey was -arrested here upon advice of St. Paul authorities, who wired that she had stolen $13 and was headed for Omaha. J- .ello, Salt Lake! How.-do -you-do, Pittsburg! Said Salt Lake to the city of steel, "Glad . to meet you face to face. Always wanted to thank you for the steel that builds my modern city.

"Thanks, I do and well," replied Pitts- -burg. "And while he thanks are going around, what of your smelters? Don't I owe a lot to them? What of your jobbers? Aren't they my good customers? Now, Western friend, -let's take a pocketful of Owl and take a look. around your city."

Do Whiskers Grow Better on a How rar should a Uardener Livn Commuting and Other Diseases. Don't plant too much seed in your garden, as overfeeding will kill the neighbors' Wyandottes. ' . , Planting grass seed upside down will cause your garden to look like the wrong side of a Persian rug. Helpful tools are a corkscrew, can opener and a shoe horn. The shoe horn will help you to get a seat on the 5:15. When planting tomatoes be sure and first open the can. Peas should never be planted The firm that manufactures rubberset tooth brushes is- now applying the same idea to a grass seed that defies the next door Plymouth Rocks. A three-inch layer of solid concrete over the garden will protect the seeds against crows and sparrows. '- , The proper time to plant the seed is in between blizzards. . A few glue plants will be helpful to assist in mending the cracked chinaware that comes sailing over the fence. A fractured dinner set of 144 broken pieces makes a wonderful present for a dizzy wedding anni versary. By putting graphophone records over the asparagus you can make the darned stuff play music while it's groSving. Special care should be taken in preserving perennial rhododendron jelly in order not to lose any of the syllables. ... By grafting jumping beans on a rubber plant, Burbank has suc ceeded in evolving a bean that jumps almost as high as the price. . Rhubarbed wire pie makes a very tasty and durable dish. ' I Sweet citroliella, violet mignonette and vanilla . nasturtiums grow beautifully in the catalogue. ' Potato bulbs and carrots should be planted as close to the ground as the pain in your back permits. ' f Don't be discouraged if your first crop consists of blisters on your mitts. v . .... Corn, beans and an earthquake will give you a fine succotash garden. PA ROURKE BUYS CATCHER G. HALE FROM ST. LOUIS American Leaguer With South ern Team Two Years Comes Here as First String Man; Another Armour Game. The rain Sunday evening wet the ground so much that the Omaha Base Ball club players didn't get out to use the; diamond yesterdav afternoon, but 'they threw the ball around - a little, under the grand stand. None of them feel any ill ef7 fects of the Sunday game with the Armours, showing that they are rounding into form. Unless the bad weather continues, the team will work out on the field this after noon. , Manager Jackson announces that Pa Rourke has purchased a catcher, George Hale, from the St Louis Americans, where he has been for two years. Hale will be- used as the first string catcher. His batting in 1917 was nothing to brag about, but he improved greatly last year. Bill thinks he will set the Western league afire, both in fielding and batting. He is not related to the Hale now with the Rourkes or Brooks Hale, the old Omaha pitch er. The Hale working with the lo cals at present is a brother to Brooks Hale. - " ,', The leaguers will play another exhibition game with the -Armour semi-pros Sunday afternoon. ,The close score of last Sunday's game will arouse the interest of those that missed the game and they .vill want to see tHe teams in action after another week of training. Business Manager Deleware of the Armours would like to arrange a Saturday game as well as Sunday. Members of the Spanish Cabinet Have Resigned Madrid, April 14. (fiy the As sociated Press.)

Brvic DfaWll fOf Sport By KIJ) The Omaha featherweight boxer, Jack Lawlor, was reported to have lost a popular verdict to feather weight champion, Johnny Kilbane at Charleston, W. Va., last Saturday night, but according to a telegram iack sent his friend, Dode Hamilton, .awlor was given the verdict by the Charleston papers. The tele gram reads: "Outpointed Johnny Kilbane here tonight. All of the local papers giving me the decision, but the Associated Press called the bout, a draw. No knockdowns or bruises, letter and clippings fol lowing. Sure I can stop him in 20 rounds. Give all the boys my re gards. Your little pal, Jack Lawlor." The Pocatello Athletic club of Pocatello, Idaho, is certainly trying hard to induce Tex Rickard to stage the Willard-Dempsey mill in that city. Their latest publicity stunt is to send out a bulletin as fol lows: In addition to 2,700 sleeping cars and 400 diners, the Pocatello Athletic club is making arrange ments to embrace every ppportunity to secure canvas for the construction of a tent city should the crowd com ing to Pocatello to witness the Will-ard-Bempsey contest be of such an enormity that necessity demands. Sleeping on billiard tables, in chairs, automobiles and even in the street, all of which has happened in the past, will be a nonentity at Poca tello in accordance with the plans' of the Pocatello Athletic club, bidding $160,000 for the event. A tent city will be in the course of construction two days after "Tex" Rickard has named Pocatello as the battle ground. This accomodation will provide coal, cheap, comfortable and sanitary quarters for thousands in excess of those cared for by Pull- OMAHA GUN CLUB SHOOTERS MAKE BIG TRAP MARKS Three Visiting Professionals Lead Shooting in Various Classes; Kingsley High Among Locals.

Money is no object and the peopir will be considered and cared for first. We have a man in our town who is wondrous wise in the way of balls. George (Kay) Kennedy used to be quite g pocket billiard player, in fact was proprietor of a parlor on the South Side a few years ago. He was a master of pocket billiard balls. He was backer and manager of the old Shamrock base ball club and two years ago was the manager for the Armours' ball club. More re cently he, with Henry Fritscher as a partner, won the state bowling tourney doubles events, (with a bowling ball) and was also a mem ber of the five-man team winners the Central Furnitures. Ifthere were any more ball games, -Kennedy would undoubtedly take a whack at them. Don't know how he shapes up on push-ball, golf or tennis but a man that can handle all the other ball games can certainly do some thing with the shoulder game, the r?.quet and the niblick. Think I'll challenge Kay to a game of marbles, that's a small ball game. .One week from tonight. Al Fiori's al-star wrestling show will hold the boards in the Council Bluffs auditor ium, with Vernon Breedlove, the featherweight champion, defending his title against Walter Smith of Grand Island. Breedlove willi have his hands full in this match, for Smith is one of the trickiest feather weights in the game and he is won derfully strong for a little irran. Ex pecting a hard battle, the champion lias been in hard training for over a week and says he will be in the best shape of his entire career for he match next Tuesday night. Young Gotch, the local welterweight -mat artist, signed up to show in the semi- t-windup, is working with Breedlove and they stage a merry old whirl every evening. Gotch, is rounding into fine from and will weight under 140 pounds when he goes on the mat. His opponent has not yet been selected, but a choice will be made today or tomorrow. Fiori saysihe will announce the full card within a day or two and that it will be a real all-star show. POLARIME Remember When You Bought Your Car?

Washington, April 14. Subscripv tions will be received during the Victory Liberty loan campaign for the wholly tax exempt notes bear ing 3 3-4 per- cent interest, which the treasury will issue as alterna tives of the 4 3-4 per cent securities with partial tax exemption. Em phasis, however, will be laid by so licitors on the 43-4 riotes, and an effort will be made to round up the bulk of subscriptions to these sub scriptions which may be converted at any time into the 33-4 per cent notes. - A limited amount of the 43-4 per cent notes will be available for ut right sale, but the treasury is not sure that all demands .for cash pur chases can be filled. As in past campaigns, work has been rushed at the bureau of engraving on the bonds of small denomination, since these constitute most of the over-the-counter sales. There will be plenty of the notes for use as "sam ples" by salesmen, officials said to day. ' Gratification over the $4,500, 000,000 total of the loan which is smaller than had been generally ail4 ticipated, and the interest rate was expressed today in hundreds of telegrams reaching the treasury from loan committees. Many of these were to the effect that the terms had raised the hopes of loan workers and financial observers. Price Not Depressed. Officials discussing terms "of the Victory Joan today said one reasm for their belief that the mirket .price of bonds of past issues would not be depressed by the new securi ties, was that there still should exist a strong demand for the older is sues by large tax payers. With cer tain arrangements of holdings of past issues it is possible to hoid $160,000,000 of bonds absolutely tax free. Secretary Glass is expected to sound the key note for the loan campaign in an address tomorrow in New York. He plans to leave Fir day for a two weeks' speaking tour of the west. As a graphic illustra tion of the progress of the nation's subscriptions toward the goal, the navy will send three warships be tween San Francisco and New York by way of the Panama canal during the loan campaign the daily position of these vessels indicating the amount of subscriptions. The first ship the publicity bureau announced today will leave San Francisco on April 21, the opening day of the loan and proceed to a point off San Diego, where it will be met by.a destroyer, which will then make the trip southward to the Panama canal. The third ship, which will be a destroyer of the newest and fastest type will make the last leg of the journey from the Pana ma canal to New York, -which is to be called "the harbor of victory." Progress Shown by Maps. The faster the crew subscribes the faster the vessel will travel and the sooner will the "harbor of victory" be reached. As the victory ships proceed from San Francisco to the "harbor of vic tory," their progress will be shown by maps on the newspapers and by bulletin boards in the larger cities. Every night Rear Admiral T. J. Cowie, navy victory loan officer will obtain from the Treasury depart ment the day's subscription to the loan and by radio will instruct the ship commander to proceed a dis tance in proportion to the amount of the subscription.

Meyerhoffer, wealthy Salt Lake City business man, and member of the Salt Lake City Ath letio club, is proud of his physique; so proud, in fact, that it cost him $100 yesterday. According to the story he told the police he met two strangers on a Northwestern train from Chi cago. Jioth rnen, he said, were big fel lows, weighing probably 190 pounds each. And when they fell to brag ging of their .size Meyerhoffer of fered to bet .he "had 'em topped." The threeVpulled off their coats and measured their swelling biceps and arching chests. It wasn't until after Meyerhoffer had written his name and ad dress for the nien at their prom ise to send him some literature relative to land they said dtey had for sale and had left the train,, that he realized that while one' of them had measured his biceps the ' other had measured his wallet in the coat he had discarded.
