TULSA CAPTURES
BOTH GAMES OF
DOUBLE-HEADER
Win First Game 5 to 2, With
Kopp on Mound for Omaha,
Gather Second Contest
9 to 7 Off Townsend.
The Tulsa , Oilers slipped the
Rourkes a double dose of defeat
medicine in the Sunday double
header, taking the first game by a
count of 5 to 2 from Charley Kopp,
and the second, 9 to 7, off Lefty
Townsend. The results of these
games are apt illustrations of just
what a couple of boners will do to
a ball club.
The Oilers held the lead all the
way in the first game, going out in
front with two runs in the fourth in
ning and in the eighth they added
three more to the count. The Omaha
players were blanked every round
up to the seventh when they pushed
a run across with a single and Gis
lason's three-bagger. Gis scored on
a single by Jackson, but the man
ager was caught in an attempted
steal.
Another score was made, fn the
eighth, Graham leading off with a
screaming two bagger. He went to
third on Donica's grounder to first
and scored on Kirby's single. The
latter died on first, the next two
players going out in order. In the
ninth Mason led with a single but
was torced on schmkel s grounder
to second. Schinkel went out the
same way on Jackson's daisy cutter.
Gislason hit a long fly to left field
but Diltz pulled it down after a good
run.
In the second game Spellman,
Barbeau and Mason each, made a
costly boot. The Tulsa runs were
scored in the first, fourth, fifth and
ninth innings, the count before the
Oilers' ninth inning being a tie at
7 to 7. The Rourkes tied the score
in the first and made three more in
th . second, but the visitors took the
lead in the fifth when they counted
for three runs. The locals tied it up
in the fifth when they counted for
three runs. The locals tied it up in
the seventh with two more, but the
final two counters pushed across by
Tulsa won the game, the Rourkes
going down in one, two, three order
in their half of the ninth.
Umpire Eckman announced that
Monday would make his last appear
ance as an umpire, as he has ac
cepted a position in Omaha. Um
pire Freshwater, who officiated on
the bases, came here from Chicago
and upon his arrival, grabbed a suit
case and started for the ball park.
When he, arrived he found a nice
p.rray of women's lingerie and other
feminine articles in the budget and
realized that he had made an ex
change with some female traveler.
He was unable to go behind the
plate in either game, but hopes to
re-exchange suitcases before game
time on Monday to get his armor
for use behind the platter.

Large fields in several events, and
large crowds featured the opening
week of the Grand Circuit at Cleve
land. Monday, the opening day, all
attendance records for the opening
meeting were broken, and the pari
mutual machines were given a sur
prisingly large play all through the
week.
The Edwards stake for 2:08 pac
ers, purse $3,000, the feature event
of the first day, was rather a cheap
affair from a racing standpoint. O.
U. C. by C. The Limit, owned by
Edward Peterson of Omaha took
the first heat in 2:06J4, but finished
12-6-3 in the last three heats. Har
vester, by The Harvester, won the
second heat in 2:04 J j. after "which
Frank Dewey set sail in the last
two, winning in 2:04 Vi and 2:12)4.
Henry Thomas, formerly of Omaha,
won the Forest City 2-year-old trot
for a purse of $1,600, with Natalie
the Great, a bay filly by Peter the
Great, owned by the Laurel Hall
farm, Indianapolis.
Dr. Dudley, a bay colt by J. Mal
colm Forbes, with L. Bruise up,
hung up a new record for half mile
in the 2-year-old trot tor a purse
of $500 on the second day. Five
starters appeared in the event
which was but one heat of half
mile. Dr. Dudley, went to the qtiar-
tei in 31Vj seconds and home in
2:09). In reality, Mariondale took
Murphy Wins Tavern "Steak."
Rain interfered Thursday, caus
ing a late start and but three events
were raced off. Murphy won the fa
mous Tavern "Steak" with Marion
dale, a brown gelding by Archdale,
although the last heat was a dead
ini!e, Lockspur tying the winner
The time was 2:063,4, 2:07-1-4, and
2:09k. Inrealty, Mariondale took
tut one heat, finishing fifth in the
tirst heat and first in the second.
Racing starts at Kalamazoo
Mich., the second meeting of the
"Raging Grand," today, with
the free-for-all pace the feature
event of the day, and from the
looks of the entry list it is liable to
b a "doodle." The field includes
such speed demons as Miss Harris
M., 1:58'4; Single G, 1.59'; Peter
Nash, 2:01; Directum J; 2.01 Vi
Un, 2:02;i ; Verlie Patchen, 2:02i
and Lillian T, 2:02y4. William,
1:56, was also nominated, but it was
announced recently that he would
not start, as Marvin does not think
he is ouite up to a three-heat gruel
ing. He has worked a number of
miles around two minutes during
the last week, and will probably be
shown in an exhibition mile some
time during -the week.
2:05 Trot.
The 2:05 class will be the fastest
events for trotters, the free-for-all
being off. Entries in this event are
Experanza, 2:03)4; Royal Mac, 2:05;
Wilkes Brewer, 2:05M; The Tod
dler, 2:05;4; Prince Loree, 2:05,
and Heir Reaper, 2:05;4.
From 10 to 12 starters are ex
pected in the Paper Mills stake,
and the Columbia hotel trot closed
with an original entry list of 41.
The four feature events of the week
will be raced under the three-heat,
every-heat-a-race system, the colt
races will be under the two in three
plan and the balance will be the
best three in five.
Entry lists in the two early clos
ing events of the Nebraska State
Fair at Lincoln, September 2 to 5,
are out. The 2:20 trot, for a purse
of $1,500 drew the unlucky number,
13 being nominated. In the same
class for pacers, for a like puse,
18 horses were nominated.

By TAD. ,
There were a lot of mistakes made
at Toledo. They were the mistakes
of novices. The greatest mistake of
all, however, was made hy the Cham
pion of the World, Jess Willard. He
was the star novice of the show.
Willard a novice? Yes, poor, in
experienced Jess. He was his own
boss, his own trainer and his own
assassin.
He made the mistake of losing his
head. The worst mistake that can
be made in the prize ring. True, he
stopped a terrific left with his chin
and fell to the floor. Why didn't he
look toward his corner for advice,.
though? Why didn t he stop a sec
ond to think? Why didn't he wait
there on the floor until his head
cleared? Other fighters have done
that.
When Jim Jeffries was dropped at
Reno for the first flop he ever took
he waited like a veteran of knock
downs. He looked to his corner,
where he saw hands that told him to
take his time. He waited for "nine."
hands. He was safe for a moment
at least.
Jess Willard was knocked down
and just as soon as he hit the canvas
he groped around for a rope. He
couldn't find one. He got up on his
hands and knees and at the count of
five got to his feet without a defense
and with a very muddled brain. He
was a spread for Dempsey, who
promptly dropped him again.
Not once did Willard wait for the
count of nine. He was no sooner
down that he was trying to get up
again.
It wasn't the first punch that beat
him. It was his childish tactics. -He
may have been too proud to take the
count of nine. He was foolish
enough to be satisfied with "five."
On the seventh knockdown, which
came seven or eight seconds before
the bell, he was so helpless that we
doubt if he could have reached his
feet again if he had been given a
whole minute to do so.
It may have been inexperience, but
whatever it was THAT was what
When he got up he could put up his killed him off so early in the fight.

Horseshoe Pitching Tourney
Is Planned for Next Year
J. J. Isaacson, municipal recrea
tion director will try to have an
other series of horse shoe pitching
tournaments in Omaha he an
nounced yesterday.
Although the horse shoe tourna
ments were unsatisfactory to the
old folks last season Isaacson will
trv to make it interesting fo them
this year.
The tournaments will start about
the latter part of August, so the
:ity championship will be made be
fore the latter part of September.
All the tournaments will be held
at the Muny parks and sectional
championships will hinge on the re
sults. Isaacson also announced that the
pitching this fall will be at forty
feet inrtead of the regular forty
four feet. This change is made to
handicap the stars and put the
poor pitchers on a more even base.

MUCH TOUTED
GAMES SUNDAY
ARE ONE-SIDED
Fast Article of Ball Is Put Up
by Some of the Minor Or
ganizations; First
Triple Play.
By WILLIAM O. BLOZIES.
Many surprises were registered
Sunday afternoon in local amateur
baseball circles by the warriors
representing the various teams,
affiliated with the Municipal Ama
teur base ball association and the
contests that were predicted to be
the feature events of the day, turned
out to be one-sided affairs. ,
This is especially true in the
B r a d e : s Stores-Murphy-Did-It
game in the Greater Omaha league,
at Riverview park, which was won
easily by the Murphy's by the score
of 14 to 1, thereby given the black
smith's a 1000 per cent, and making
the race a tie for first honors with
them and the Ernie Holmes White
Sox. "Butch" Hay, the crack
hurler for the Murphys was on the
firing line and allowed the store
team but six hits and whiffing 11
men, while he refused to issue a
base on balls.
Although it has been published
in two of Omaha's daily newspapers
for the past week that Hay and
Clair of the Murphys would quit to
take jobs in South Dakota, was de
nied by these players yesterday.
Both will remain in the city and
finish the season with the Murphys.
Second Baseman Vandiver left last
week for his home at Ogallala,
Neb.
The score:
Brandels 000100000 1 6 4
Murphys 20057000 x 14 15 1
Batteries: Brandels Pendon and Spell
man; Murphys Hay and Williams.
Another game wihch was booked
as a feature was between the Trim
ble Brothers and the World-Herald
teams in the Booster league, and re
sulted a 14 to 6 victory for the news
paper crew, thereby going into the
lead for the championship of that
organization. The Herald bunch bat
tea pitcher Ritz hard and gave Mc
Dt rmott great support.
Tie Is Broken.
. The tie for first honors in the
Gate City league was broken be
tween the Omaha Printing company
Juniors and the Townsends at Riv

Lead in Two Big Leagues

season mark two western teams,
the Cincinnatti Nationals and the
Chicago Americans, jumped into the
lead in their respective leagues last
week, and, getting weaker eastern

their New York rivals, who face
stronger opposition.
Steady pitching and good batting
put Cincinnati to the fore in a sea
saw struggle for the top position. A
double victory over Pittsburgh last
Sunday gave the Reds a one-point
advantage over New York, which
resumed the lead Monday by beat
ing Philadelphia twice. The two
teams were on even terms Friday,
