PA ROURKE CALLS
DES MOINES BALL
GAME OFF; RAIN
Scheduled Meeting Not Play
ed But Teams Will Meet
Today and Tomorrow
If Weather Permits.
It was raining in a steady drizzle
at 3:15 yesterday afternoon and af
ter waiting the regular half hour,
Pa Rourke had the umpire announce
that the game with Des Moines was
called off, but that the teams would
meet at 3:15 today. The players
on both teams had practiced on the
infield and appeared anxious to get
under way, but it started to drizzle
and they made a run for the dug
outs. Weather permitting, the
teams will play today and tomor
row. The Des Moines crew put on
exhibition of snappy fielding in their
10 minutes workout and the pros
pects were for a fast game. The
Rourkes hurled the pill around in
nice fashion, in their practice and
picked up the daisy cutters as
though they liked them.
As an attraction, the game was
a fizzle, there being only 1 paid ad
missions at the main gate and seven
at the auto gate. Fifteen passes
were also taken up. With so few
spectators, the field had a dreary
aspect. The rain checks issued yes

They lost two games to the

TEARNEY SENDS
GREETINGS TO
WESTERN FANS
President of League Writes of
Changes in Personnel of
Clubs and Hopes for
Continued Co-Operation.
Upon the eve of the opening of
the Western league season I send
my lieartiet greetings to every fan
within the confines 'of this great
base ball organization.
Having weathered every storm
that has developed during the life
of the organization and now that the
great war has been settled and for'
which we were forced to discon
tinue' temporarily, we are again ap
pearing, young and fresh, with re
newed vigor, new faces, different
surroundings, better talent and new
cities. Each club in the circuit pre
sents to the people a great change
in its personnel. Many have en
gaged players who have seen serv
ice abroad, and whose efforts in
connection with their duties as a
soldier were very commendable. It
so happens that most of these boys
played on base ball teams in France,
and because of the great interest
that was manifested, many young
men have developed and will be
seen on the roster of the clubs.
Fans Pulling Hard.
I realize that the fans in the
Western league cities are 'anxious
and pulling hard for their club to
win. It happens, however, that in
a base ball league of eight clubs,
one must be first and one must be
last; and while the world loves a
winner, my sympathy and feeling
goes out to a loser who has worked
hard and faithful and lent every ef
fort to accomplish the desired goal,
but failed.
In a contest like base ball, where
so many uncertainties arise, it is
strange, nevertheless a fact, that
time and again in a series of games
a club will win which, according
to the dope, is not the better of the
two, and my explanation of this
situation can be told in a very few
words inegrity of the game.
Prime Object To Win.
The prime object of each club
is, as it should be, to win the pen
nant. By this act the public may
be sure there is honest competition
in the organization and good natured
rivalry. For success throughout the
circuit, a close race between the
eight clubs is essential for wherever
it is otherwise, with a few clubs
away out in front and a few others
away in the rear, it is a bad thing for
the whole league. This situation
develops, however, in a league which
is not" well balanced, but I predict
at this time that the Western league
will have one of the closest races
it ever experienced and by this will
provide recreation for the entire
middle west.
The umpire staff has been selected
with much care. Having received
more than 50 applications for the
positions, I have used my best judg
ment in selecting men who are a
redit to the game, as well as stand
ing out in their profession as real
arbiters.
In conclusion, I want to express
to the great army of fans, the ap
preciation of the club owners, as
well as my own. for the considera
tion and effective co-operation they
have lent us in the past.

DEMPSEY'S TOUR
FAILS TO CREATE
ENTHUSIASM
Challenger Shows Speed In
His Exhibitions and Can
Probably Hit
Hard.
By "KID" GRAVES.
The tour of the Jack Dempiay
Athletic carnival, which showed in
Omaha last Thursday night at tha
auditorium, while not so stated by
Jack Kearns, the man in charge of
the Dempsey business affairs, is to
interest the American boxing fans
in Jack Dempsey's chances of wrest
ing the title of world's heavyweight
champion from Jess Willard. Tbo
show presents several novelties and
is well worth the price of admission,
but it will probably fail in its real
mission if Jack's Omaha appearance
is a criterion to go by. The Impres
sion left in the minds of the Omaha
fans is far from all that could be
wished by the challenger's sattel
ites. Upper Cut Easy to Jand.
It was easily seen that tha chal
lenger could work a great deal bet
ter in actual contest than he showed
against his sparring partners, jut his
actions even then, did not arouse
any great confidence in his ability to
beat the champion next fourth of
July. In fact, tha general opinion
is quite the contrary for even
though John Letter Johnson was
palpably afraid to hit hard for fear
cf offending Dempsey, it wai teen'
that he could land an uppercut on
Jack quite frequently. Even old
Denver Jack; Geyer. who has long
since seen hit best dayi in the ring,
landed with an uppercut easily
enough. It may be easily judged -that
when these two second raters
can land such a dangerous blow on
the Dempsey chin, that Jess Wil
lard, with a complete mastery of thia
deadly blow will be able to place one '
of the kind on Jack's frontal adorn
ment, and with the Willard force
behind it, there is little doubt but
that it will be Jack's undoing.
Another item that lessened Demp
sey's popularity with Omaha fans
was the refusal of his manager to
allow him to box an exhibition with
Harry Williams, the Omaha heavy
weight. A host of people that ordi
narily take no interest in such aiV.,
fairs, was on hand for the show ,
simply because Williams was billed
to appear against Dempsey. All
arrangements for the exhibition had ,
been made with Billy McCarney,
the advance agent for the carnival,
who was empowered to make all
such arrangements for Dempsey
and Jack Kearns refused to allow
Jack to perform with any but his
own hired sparring partners. Wil
liams was even denied the privilege '
of appearing with anyone else, thus
causing his friends to think that
Dempsey feared the Omaha wrap
per. This is not the case at all, for
Dempsey told me personally that he
would like to take Harry on, as a
favor to me, if for nothing else, but
he could not if Kearns forbade it .
Willard Stronger.
With all due regard for Dempsey
as a fighter and gentleman, and in
every other way, and as much as I
would like to see him become the
champion of the world, I cannot aee
that he figures to have one chance
in ten of dethroning the pretent
king of the heavies. His claims of
youth and strength are perhaps well
founded, but his youth will not give
him any decided advantage, for
while Jess is older in point of years,
he is really no older than Jack in
ring service and the challenger's
strength can in no way compare
with that of Willard's. Many ring
followers have thought that the
statement that the champion had
never yet struck his hardest Mow
was all a publicity ttunt, but it is
a fact, nevertheless. Jess Willard
has never yet struck any man a
blow with his full force, tor he
doesn't know how hard he can hit
and he's afraid to try and find oat.
