f
LOCALS TAKE A
CLOSE ONE FROM
ST. JOSEPH CREW
Only Score of the Game Is
Made in First Session
on Three Hits and
One Error.
The Rourkes managed to step out
in front of the St. Joseph outfit in
the first frame, making one tally and
this was the only counter in ttie
game. Jap Barbeau singled and was
caught trying to steal second. Jack
son was out, pitcher to first. Heni
iningvvay, the new shortfielder, was
safe on Hank's error. Hazetv and
Kirby each singled and Hemrning
way romped home on Kirby's single
all the way from second. Gislason
flied out to right field, closing the
scoring for the game.
This fellow Hemmingway looks
like the goods. He made all his
stops in clean fashion and throws to
first perfectly, seemingly taking all
the time that is necessary. He
doesn't throw hurriedly and always
puts the ball right in the baseman's
glove. Just once, he was a little too
slow, and while the runner was
caught nicely enough Umpire Ducky
Holmes declared him safe.
The umpire wasin't popular with
. either side, making a number of poor
decisions. It so happened that no
runs were scored because of the bad
work of the umpire, but it slowed
the game up considerably.
The weather was ideal, but only
the usual few fans were present. It
begins to look as though Omalians
don't want any kind of baseball here.
With a club running the leaders a
close race, only two games behind
Des Moines, the leading club, climb
ing all the way from sixth place to
the second round in the ladder, the
fans won't get out and show their
appreciation.
Pitcher Townsend threw a fine
game yesterday, allowing but five
safeties and one of them because of
a po,or umpire's decision, and these
he kept , well scattered, only two of
them in any one inning. Two singles
in the third inning was the best ef
fort the Josies made and the first
man to hit was caught at the plate
, on a fielders' choice play, later.

Another League Added
to Bee lunion Amateur
Base Ball Association
Amateur teams are still taking
considerable interest in the Omaha
Bee Junior Base Ball association,
although the season opened several
weeks ago, and with the joining of
the Walnut Hill Merchants, man
aged by Edward Dugdale; Meyers'
"Bearcats," formerly the J. B. Roots,
Juniors, managed by Eugene Cou
durier; Vinton Cubs, managed by
Billy La Chalpella and the Krug
Park Sluggers, managed by Arthur
Walstrom, this week it was neces
sary to form the third division with
these four teams as members.
It was announced in the pink
edition of the Bee yesterday
that the Walnut Hill Merchants and
the Meyers Bear Cats would play
in the second division and the Vin
ton Cubs would be granted a fran
chise soon, should one of the other
teams fail to show up, but since
the Krug Park Sluggers entered the
league last night, it was decided by
the sport department and officials of
the association to form a new divi
sion. The Meyers aggregation, who hail
from Southside, have been trying to
join the second division for several
weeks, but could not start the sea
son on account of the league having
six teams.
It is understood that a few of the
teams are using players above the
age limit and it this is the case the
teams, according to the const (u
tion, will forfeit their franchises.
According to the constitution any
team failing to appear for two con
secutive games will forfeit their
franchise, and should the Bemis
Parks, who are scheduled to play the
R. A. M.'s Decoration day, at
Creighton field at 10 o'clock, fail to
appear they will lose their franchise.
Last Sunday they forfeited their
game to the West Dodge Dairy
team. The game between the Bemis
Parks and R. A. M.'s is the post
poned game of the opening day in
division 1.
Teams who have not secured their
players' contracts are urged to call
at the sporting editor's desk at The
Bee, second floor, and get them, as
the contracts must all be signed and
in the hands of President Blozic

Toledo, O.. May 29. Selection of
a former clubhouse on the shore of
Maumee bav. less than a mile from
Jack Dempsey's training quarters,
was made today as the training camp
for Jess Willard, who is. due here
Saturday.
Dempsey is using his sparring
partners so roughly that Manager
Jack Kearns is having difficulty ill
retaining them. One-Round Davis,
a JOO-pounder from Buffalo, N. Y.,
quit the challenger's camp today,
ifter receiving another wallopping.
He was nearly knocked out for the
second time in two days. Dempsey
confined his work to seven rounds
today, going four with Sergt. Bill
Tate, two with Terry Keller and one
with Davis.
"Willard's clubhouse is an ideal
location, but it lacks living quarter,
so Willard and his retinue will have
to select a cottage on the bay shore
in which to eat and sleep. It wis
suggested to Tex Rickard, promoter
of the contest, that with the camps
so close together, the heavy weight
rivals might meet on the road some
morning and start trouble. Rickard
laughed at the idea and said he
hoped they would meet.
"The old days of pugilism have
passed," Rickard said. "This is a
boxing contest for supremacy of the
heavyweight class, and purely a busi
ness proposition, the same as a base
ball game or other amusements.
Willard and Dempsey will be paid
performers. They are not mad at
one another, and I hope that if they
meet while doing road work, they
will stop and shake hands. Men in
other branches of athletics are
friends why can't Dempsey and
Willard be friends while they are
conditioning themselves?"
Manager Kearns communicated
with Billy Miske, the St. Paul light
heavyweight, in an effort to bring

Military Training
Urged By Baker for
School Children
Washington, May 29. Secretary
Baker today renewed before the
house military committee his rec
ommendation that congress provide
a temporary army of SiW.tKH) men.
"I am not asking for any in
crease in the permanent military e
tablishment," the secretary said. "All
1 am asking for is sufficient money
to provide for an army of 509,0(10
men. The great need now is quick
action."
Military education in all schools
above the primary grades was
thought advisable by Secretary
Baker.
Committeemen questioned the sev
retary closely on the War depart
ment's policy on the size of tin
army in case allowance were made
for the maintenance of 500,000 men.
They pointed out that the standing
law provides for an army of only
175,000 men and that all others nniM
be discharged within four months
after the completion of demobiliza
tion. "The number of men will be re
duced to the figure authorized un
less a change in the international
situation arises which might make a
larger force necessary," said Mr.
Baker. "In that event congress will
be asked to change the law."
British Indebtedness to
U.S. Totals $4,266,000,000
London, May 29. J. Austen Cham

partments owe the British depart
ments, roughly $210,000,000.
The chancellor said that dollar se
curities, including Canadian securi
ties, now held under the treasury de
posit scheme amount to jsut a little
more than $500,000,000, most of
which had been placed as collateral
for loans in America. According to
the deposit, Mr. Chamberlain added,
securities to the value of $106,111,
000 had been purchased by the treas-;
ury. Most or these were sold, how
ever. sey. Kearns announced that begin
ning tomorrow Dempsey would do
his boxing in the afternoon, although
the weather cntinues blistering hot.
Ray O. Archer, business manager
for Willard, brought the surprising
j information that Willard-had been
i in training since February 1, whei
he started dieting. He said tin'
champion weighed about 274 pound?
when he started to train and that he
tipped the scales at 258 1-2 when lit
