The De Moines club won the
last game of the series with the
Rourkes in 10 innings, score i to
1. The clubs were nip and tuck for
nine frames, tied 'up at 1 to W It
was a beautiful game until the final
session, probably the best game
seen on the local lot this season.
The ex-nator, Milan, led off
with a triple when the game be
gan, msorook skied to nazen in
center field and Milan came home
After the catch. Cass flied to jeft
field and Connolly gave Hazen an
other put out with a long fly. The
Rourkes were blanked in their half.
Both clubs hung up a row of zeros
until the fifth, when Ohlin, for
Omaha, led with a single. Mason
sacrificed him to second and Burk

siammea a iwo-Dagger, scoring
Ohlin. Barbeau fouled out to
Walker and Jackson popped to

three hits but no runs an the
Boosters not even gettine a hit.
until the 10th frame. Connolly
walked and Walker bunted one at
Pitcher Burk who juggled it long
enough for both runners to be safe
Ewoldt bunted to Burk, who threw
him out to Ohlin, covering the first
bag. Coffey scored both runners
with a beautiful two-base clout.
Hartford walked and Winn went
out, Burk to Jackson, and Milan
breezed.
Burk was the first Rourke up in
the 10th and he was safe at first on
Ewoldt's boot. The pe'xt three bat
ters Hied out in one-two-three order.
Barbeau to left field, Williams,
batting for Jackson, to second base
and Graham to shortstop and the
game was over with the visitors on
the long end of a 3 to 1 score.
Only about 400 fans witnessed the
game, but they made up for their 1
lack of numbers in applause. Every
player making a good play re
reived a good hand from the stands.

i ROHIBITION came like a blimp in the night
You never piped a bunch of bomb peggers plotting around , a town
pump. A pumphandle is a Bullsheviki's idea of nothing to shake hands
with. You never lamped a bird get all steamed up to a million on aqua
impura and then rattle out and bust the Fourteen Points, Ten Command
ments and the Fifteen Traffic Rules intoa jig-saw puzzle.
Prohibition is Bill Bryan's pet idea. A pet is something tame. All
Bill's ideas are "tame. But they are good, being considerably aged in
the wood.
The last thing Rip Van Winkle remembered was taking a snifter out of
the little Vandyke juglet. He was out like the last Berlin Cabinet At the
last report Rip had snored for twenty years, but the more conservative
element is awaiting further returns from the outlying counties.
Still, twentythumps fom Pop Times scythe is plenty profit from one
little investment in the stuff that enebriates and .cheers not the next
morning. All the dividends the stuff pays now is 2J$ per cent semi
annually. Semi-annually is all right, but the boys would rather have it
semi-comatosely.
Rip carried sleep in that jug. Now all it carries is insomnia. If a
modern Rip had gone away in '98 along with mutton chop sleeves and
tandem bikes his thirst would sure fail to recognize the new generation
of drinks that inhabit the old village. F'rinstance:-

PROFESSOR DEBRIS'S BOPPELETTE.
There is a bopp to Boppolette. Made by removing the adenoids from

is no soft drink. There is a kick to Boppelette. Every purchaser has one.

Followinn the publication of Mart
Slattery's letter. J. C. Marsh, man
ager of Marin Plestina comes to bat
with a little letter of his own. He
makes the charge that Pesek and
Slattery are in the "wrestling trust"
and that Zbyzsko laid down to
Pesek at Gordon, recently. But
here is tho letter; read it yourself:
"Have just finished reading the very
amusing bi't very unsatisfactory letter
written to you oy Mr. Slattery, and his
verv funny reasons for not accepting the
challenge Issued to hia wrestler, John
Pesek. I knew Pesek would not dare to
accept Ihe offer I made him even after
telling people that he would do so if I
made the challenge direct. I think I made
it plain enough and direct enough. To
make It double sure I also wrote him a
letter Issuing him the same challenge.
Slattery in his letter says that time and
again Peaek has challenged the top-notch
wrestlera, . Caddock, Stecher, Lewis and
Zbyszko. Why doesn't he say the self
styled top-notch wrestlers?
"However that has notnlng to do with
the challenge I Issued to Pesek and to
any other wrestler. Pesek may have many
admirers in Nebraska and perhaps he
should have, but in the east they say he
la a member of the "trust" and they are
building him up so as to bring him east
and put a new face In the combination
this coming season. Slattery says such a
flattering offer was made to Zbyszko for
the Gordon match that he (Zbyszko) could
not refuse. Yes! I believe that, for Zbyszko
himself told on his return to Chicago that
he got nearly all the money for laying
down. Some flattering offer I" should say.
But this much I will say. I think John
Pesek can defeat Zbyszko any time or any
olace. I will also add that that If he can
not he is sure a false alarm himself, for
amongst wrestlers, and those who know,
Zbyszko Is considered nothing but a faker
and the biggest piece of bunk that ever
appeared on any wrestling pad In America.
"Any challenge I issue to any wrestler,
no matter whether a handicap match or
otherwise, I am willing that the winner
of match shall take ail the wrestlers" end
of gate money or purse. Slattery says
Pesek Is now taking a much-needed rest.
Rest from what? That talk is more bunk.
Martin Plestina came to "Farmer" Burns
nearly four years ago. He trained every
day for 22 months with Burns, reducing
from 248 to 215, and there has not been
ten days In all the time since he first
came to Burns, nearly four years ago, that
he haa not been on a pad eitner in train
ing or In a match.
"He has eroased America nearly three
times from coast to coast in that time,
meeting and defeating every wrestler that
has dared to meet him on the mat.. He
has never made an excuse for not meet
ing any wrestler nor has he ever cancelled
an engagement during that time. Every
time we get in a territory where these
wrestlers have baen making championship
claims and post our money they all have
business elsewhere or else they take a
much needed rest Plestina never rests.
He Is ready to meet any wrestler at an
hour's notice. He bars no man nor does
he hide behind the excuses of any man
ager, for I ao not mane cnem. i aay a
wrestler should wrestle, and any man I
ever manage will wrestle or he will man
age himself.
Slattery says Fesek will start training
the first ot August, sa ne naa aenniie
propositions from the managers of Cad
dock, Stecher, and Lewis. That Is very
proper worded, Mr. Slattery, and sure
must bring a smile to the face of every
wrestler who reads It. Propositions are
all . those managers and their wrestlers
ever make. All wrestlers know what kind
they are. 'I'll lose to you If you lose to
me.' Those same ones have been made
to us, too, Mr. Slattery, but we do not
listen' to them, and If John Pesek ever
wishes to get the confidence of the public
he, too, had better pass them up. Slat
tery save those three matches will un
doubtedly take place In September and
October, and II tne puouc demands a
match with Plestina that we will be ac
commodated. All right, Mr. Slattery. just cover that
21.000 at The Bee and go on with xour
Caddock, Stacker, Lewis bunk. But first
show na that you dare to make the match.
November ls plenty time enough for the
match, but I do not bellleve that you
dare to make the match or to put Fesek
Into a ring With Plestina.
"I could go on Indefinitely showing up
thla ountfit of wrestlers who hide behind
their managers and make excuaes of every
conceivable nature, but the fact Is plain
to all wrestUng fans and that is that there
la a clique and they are going to keep
from wrestling anybody who does not be
long to It just as long as it Is possible to
do so and then they are going to retire.
The "wrestling trust" is not hard to Join;
anybody can belong to it who will do their
bidding, but there are many wrestlers in
America who are too proud to take orders
from auch an outfit and they have been
kept down, and many of them told me
years ago, when I said I would break the
'wrestling trust" that it could not be done.
The 1 'wrestling trust' said they would do
to us as they had done to other wrestlers,
starve us until we would be glad to do as
they said, but they picked the wrong men
for once.
We have our money up to meet any man
in the world, no one barred. The "trust"

UNION GIANTS TO
PLAY HERE AGAIN
LATE THIS WEEK
To Have Another Series With
Armours, Local Semis;
Colored Team Has
Been Strengthened.
The Armour ball club is having
one of its most successful seasons
meeting all comers and presenting
a good front to all. They have
played 15 games so far, winning 11

Old man Andy Graves is the pitch
ing star, having pitched and won
six games. Djrck pitched four, win
ning three, while Sullivan and Merz
each turned in a win. The team is
playing a nice fielding game and
the catching of Ryan is particularly
brilliant. The batting has improved
until there is no concern in this de
partment and the base running end
is well taken care of with such
speed 'merchants as Al Graves,
Jimmy Collins, Reed and Marty Col
lins. Manager Otto Williams is getting
lots of inside base ball out of the
team and everybody is interested to
win. How good the team is going
will be shown in the series which
the Armours open with the Chicago
Union Giants on Saturday and Sun
day, July 26 and July 27. This club
has been strengthened since its last
appearance here, having two crack
players in McNear and Peters, two
of the best colored players in
Chicago. Manager Gilkerson em
phatically states he will take two
out of three games from the
Armours, which Williams says
can't be done.
