THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1919.
OILERS OF TULSA
TO OPEN SERIES
AT ROURKE PARK
Will Play Three Games With
Local Club, Starting This
Afternoon; Gislason and
Hemmingway to Be Here.
The Tulsa Oilers arrived this
morning for the opening game of
the series of three tangles with the
Rourkes, this afternoon. Manager
Jackson promises them a reception
that will be as warm as any they
ever received on their own hot bail
grounds. He expects to clean the
series and start on the upward
climb to first place with these
games.
The confidence displayed by Jack
son has some foundation, for he
has a corking new outfielder in Lee
at center garden and his two crip
ples, stars of the local club, Ed
Hemmingway and "Whitey" Gisla
son, will be able to get back in the
game. Hemmingway has played a
part of several games in the last few
days, but it has been noticeable that
he was not nearly as fleet of foot
as he had been before he was in
jured. Now, Hemmingway reports, the
old peg is in pretty good shape and
he will be able to step around lively
enough and run bases with his old
vigor. Gislason had a growth on his
left hand lanced and it caused a very
sore and painful digit. He was
forced to lay off a few days, step
ping in to fill an opening the other
day, when not fit to play. The
wound has healed and the crack
second sacker will be in the line-up
during these games.
The clubs will line-up as follows:

Who's Who in
Amater r Ball.
For the benefit of the many thou
sands of amateur base ball follow
ers, who no doubt will take great
interest in the coming city cham
pionship series, the sport depart
ment of The Bee is taking oppor
tunity at this time to print a little
sketch of the players of the 1919
championship teams, members of
the Municipal Amateur Base Ball
asociation.
Introducing the Union Outfitting
company, 1919 champions of the
City league:
George Gunnette, crack back-stopper,
considered one of the best catchers In
class B circles, is playing a great game
this season, and Is also a dangerous hit
ter, especially In the pinches. Few play
ers have attemted to steal when he Is be
hind the bat. George caught for the Stags,
champions of the Metropolitan league sev
eral seasons ago, but last season played
with the Florence Merchants.
Elmer Nufer, the "langy" hurler who
has pitched his team to the pennant is
one of the best moundsmen in the city In
class B circles and Is claimed by many
to have an edge over the majority of the
class A twlrlers. A short time ago, "El
mery", as they call him, pitched the Out
fitters to a victory over the Jimmy Moore,
the crack class A twlrler and who will be
given a try-out by Jack Coffey's Des
Moines Western league warriors. Nufer
has pitched two three-hit contests and
one four-hit affair. He has a world of
steam, good control and keeps the oppos
ing batters guessing. Last season he
pitched for the Florence Merchants and
In a post-season game defeated the Na
tional Cash Registers, class B city cham
pions. He will hurl the pill for the Out
fitters In the coming city series.
Thus far this season only three errors,
two of these being hard chances, have
been registered against him. As lead-off
man, he practically always reached the
Initial sack. In the opening frame. He
played with the Florence Merchants last
season until he signed up with Uncle
Sam'a army.
Walter Nufer, crack second-sacker Is a
wonderful player. He is easily the best
second baseman In the City league, and
Manager Pascal believes he Is the best In
amateur ball In Omaha. Always In the
game, with lota of pep, although he looks
slow, he Is the fastest man on the, team
In the fielding department, only making
a pair of errors thus far. He has cut
off many a sure hit and made a number
of sensational catches, which looked like
clean hits. Although he has been slump
Ins at bat. his batting average thus far
is .304. Walter la, another member of
the Florence Merchants last season and
la a brother to Elmer.
Corner 3, Is held down by Frank Pascal,
and opposing batters find It hard to
make the pill pass him, as he is sure
there on the liners and has a wonderful
arm and always gets his man at the bags,
with a perfect peg. He Is a dangerous
man In the pinches and Is looked for by
many of the fana to spring a big surprise
in the coming series. Last season he
held down the same position for the
McCaffrey Motor Co.
A gent who covers acres of ground, hits
the ball on the nose when hits mean
runs, and who has played a sensational
fielding gams thus far this season, is Jesse
Custard, the "Boy Wonder" who holds
down the left garden. Jesse performed in
the same position for the Florence Mer
chants last season, ar.d will be seen and
heard from In the left garden during the
series.
One of the most popular and well-llked
amateur base ball players Is "Dutch"
Koehler, who will be seen In the center
garden In place of Easton, who was re
leased by Manager Pascal on account of
rowdyism. "Dutch" was formerly with
the Bowen Furniture team and is consid
ered one of the best outfielders In class
B circles. He Is heavy with the willow
and has played on several championship
teams.
Benny Mclntyre, rightflelder, was for
merly a third baseman. When he re
ceived his discharge from the navy and
returned to Omaha he turned down sev
eral offersf from other teams as he pre
ferred to play with his former team
mates. Although this was quite a change,
Benny has made good and la considered
one of the fastest and cleverest tiut-field-era
In class B circles today. He Is also a
good clubber and hits the pill on the nose
regularly.
Harrison Stucker, but they call him
Harry for short, la a newcomer in local
amateur base ball circles and made his
first appearance last month. He Is a
crack hurler and has pitched excellent
ball, while with the Outfitters. It Is
rumored that he will likely pitch one
of the gamee In the series. Harrison
halls from northwestern Iowa, where he
pitched with some of the fast aggrega
tions In that section of the state.
Vast but not least, Is Mathew Pascal,
the reliable manager of the City league
champions. Mat is holding down the snort
position in great style and his fielding
and hitting has been a great help to the
team winning first plate honors. Pascal
Is an old-timer In local amateur base ball
circles, havlg played with a number of
the teams In by-gone years, and has been
at the head of several championship
aggregations. He played short and man
aged the Florence Merchants last season.

PLANS ARE MADE
FOR TRIPLE TIE
PLAYOFFJUNDAY
Commercial League Clubs to
Settle Standings This
Week; City Series
Starts, Also.
Final plans to play off the three
cornered ,tie for the 1919 champion
ship of ' the Saturday afternoon,
class B Commercial league, between
the Iten Biscuit company, Western
Union and the Orchard-Wilhelm
teams, were completed at a meeting
of the three managers at a meeting
ternoon at the office of Park Com
missioner Falconer.
The first battle will be staged at
3:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon at
Luxus park, Twenty-fourth and Vin
ton streets, between the Iten Bis
cuit company and the Orchard-Wilhelm
teams, and the winner of this
contest will mix with the Western
Union aggregation on Sunday after
noon at the tame place and same
hour.
Both of these contests are prom
ised real treats as these teams have
been staging some hard-fought bat
tles during the season, which was of
ficially closed last Saturday, when
the Iten Biscuit company team lost
to the Western Union, which re
sulted in the three-cornered affair.
As a preliminary to the Commer
cial Sunday contest, the opening
gun in the city series, to determine
the championship of class C, will
be fired, when the World-Herald
team, pennant winners of the Boost
er league, will clash with the High
land Park Pharmacys, champions of
the Inter-City league.
Considerable Rivalry Exists.
Considerable rivalry exists be
tween these two class C aggrega
tions, and since they have played
remarkable ball throughout the sea
son in their respective leagues, a
battle for blood is anticipated.
Both Manager Tony Costanzo, of
the World-Herald team and Mana
ger Dworak of the Pharmacy lads
announced last night that their
teams are in the best of condition
and ready to enter the fray.
Work has commenced on Luxus
park, enlarging the bleachers, and
making repairs about the park. A
gang of workmen will also be put
to work this afternoon getting the
diamond in shipshape for the games
Saturday and Sunday, it was an
nounced last night.
Murphy's Play Two?
Although the Holmes White Sox
and the Nebraska Power company
teams are slated to clash in the
Greater Omaha league Sunday af
ternoon at Fontenelle park at 3:30
o'clock, it was reported last night
in local amateur base ball circles,
that arrangements are being made
whereby the Murphy-Did-Its, lead
ers of the league, will play a double
header, playing the Powers in the
opener and the White Sox in the
second event.
However, it is understood that the
Murphys are opposed to this plan,
but Manager Lawler could not be
reached late last night. If the
double-header is staged and the
blacksmiths win both contests, the
race in the class A circuit will come
to an end, it was reported.
Since the city series will start
Sunday, and the final battle in the
Commercial league will be settled,
all interest is being centered in
these two championship events.
Holmes Signed Vernon.
Manager Leslie Pickett of the

YANKEES' OWNER
CHALLENGES
EXPLANATION
Col. Jake Ruppert Uses Short
and Ugly Word, Dis
guised by Very Po
lite Language.
New York, Aug. 5. Col. Jacob
Ruppert, president of the New York
Americans, issued a statement to
night challenging the accuracy of
the explanation made by President
Ban Johnson of the American league
last night with reference to his in
definite suspension of Pitcher Carl
Mays, recently acquired from the ;
Boston Americans.
Colonel Ruppert also made public
a copy of a telegram intended to
show that Manager Jennings, of the
Detroit Americans, had negotiated '
for Mays' services after the date on
which Mr. Johnson declared Detroit
and other cluhs had protested
against the Yankees' acquisition of .
Mays.
Recalling Mr. Johnson's statement
that he had telegraphed the New
York owners on July 23 informing
them of the protests against their
negotiations, Colonel Ruppert as
serted that on July 26 Manager Jen- '
nings sent the following telegram to
Manager Barrow of the Boston club:
Detroit Offers Cash.
"Have no players give for Mays.
Will consider cash proposition."
Colonel Ruppert asserted Mr.
Johnson had not stated the real facts
in connection with Mays quitting;
the field in the midst of a game at
Chicago on July 13. Mays, he de
clared, left the field injured after
being struck by a ball thrown by
Catcher Schang.
"Manager Barrow did not send
from the bench for the player, as
he knew Mays was hurt, ' Colonel .
Ruppert said. "The Boston club
did not report the incident nor sus
pend the player for the reason that
he did nothing that would call for
such action."
No Message Received.
Colonel Ruppert asserted that
neither President Fraree nor Mana
ger Barrow of the Boston club ever
received the message which M.
Johnson said he sent, inquiring why
Mays was not suspended and char- .
acterized as "absolutely without
foundation" Mr. Johnson's assertion
that Lieut. Col. T. L. Huston, joint
owner of the Yankees, had stated
that New York would not negotiate
for Mays.
Mr. Johnson left New York at
noon without amplifying his state
ment of last night and without mak
ing any comment on the charge of
the Yankee owners that he held a
financial interest in the Cleveland
club.
"We expect to pitch Mays within
the next two days," was the dec
laration of the New York ownerr. ;

WAS TOLD HIS
TIME HAD GOME
SAYS U HEADY
Was So Run Down It Was
Thought Nothing Could
Help Him Tanlac Re
stores Health.
"I am seventy years old, but since
takinir Tanlac I feel as well and
strong as I did when I was a young
man. and can do as much hard
work in a day as any man thirty
years younger than I am," said
P. Heady, a well known retired
farmer who lives at Kearney, Mo.,
while in the Owl Drug Store in
Kansas City a few days ago. ;,
"Well. sir. when I commenced
taking Tanlac," he continued, 'I
had been told that my case was
hopeless, and that I could only Jive
a short time. My stomach Had beenv
in bad condition for many years,
but for the past eighteen months I
was about past going altogether.
Everything I ate would sour and I
would be bloated with gas for. hours
at a time. My liver was in bad
condition, too, and I was consti-
pated so badly all the time that I
had to take a laxative every day.
Then m addition to this, I had
rheumatism in my feet and legs so
bad that I was not able to walk .
half the time. I didn't know what
good night's sleep was, and
finally got so weak and run-down
that I was just about down and
out, so far as health and strength
goes. No treatment or medicine I
took seemed to do me the least bit
of good.
"I had heard a great deal about
Tanlac and the good it was doing
so many people, so I thought I
would give it a trial. The very
first bottle made a big change in
my condition, and from that time
on I picked up about as fast as a
man possibly could. I just kept on
until I had taken ten bottles of
Tanlac, and now my troubles are
all gone, and I feel fine all the
time. My appetite was never bet
ter, and I eat things now that I
haven't dared touch for years, and
I never suffer afterwards. Th
rheumatism is gone, too, and I
never have an ache or pain. I got
about ten hours good, sound sleep
every night. My general health is
better than it has been in many
years, and my entire system has
been wonderfully built up. I can
do all sorts of hard work now, and
it doesn't tire me but very little.
Yes, sir, Tanlac can't be beat, and
I'll tell the world that it is the
best medicine I ever saw in my
life."
Tanlac is sold in Omaha and nil
