TAILENDERS WIN
FIRST, ROURKES
TAKJESECOND
Double Bill of Comedy is Di
vided Between Omaha and
Joplin, Visitors 79,
Locals, 1 and 16.
A pair of comedies were staged at
Rourke Park Sunday afternoon, the
Joplin club winning the first one, 7
to 1, and the Rourkes capturing the
second spasm, 16 to 9. Umpire
Meyers contributed greatly to the
comedy features of both contests.
First Baseman Claybrook poked a
home run over the wall with two men
on in the eighth inning of the first
'game off F.arl Schatzman's delivery.
The visitors were already ahead by
a 2 to 1 score at this point and
scored two more in the ninth to
.make it a cinch.
With Joplin stepping into the lead
vith two runs in the first inning of
'the second game, it looked like a
repeater for them, but the aspect
was suddenly changed, even after
the visitors made another counter in
the second. In the locals' half of
the second, they counted for seven
big juicy runs. Graham's home run
helped out in great shape in this
frame.
In the fourth inning the Rourkes
added another run to the count and
four in the sixth frame. In a des
perate effort, the Joplin crew made
three in the seventh, but their scor
ing was shut off for that session.
They fought savagely and blanked
Omaha in the seventh, but in the
eighth, the locals cinched things with
another quartet of runs.
A last dying effort was made in the
ninth, to square themselves, but the
Joplin players were unable to get
more than one run across. Eddie
Spellman did himself proud in the
second game. He contributed a
home run and two doubles in five
.times at bat. Hazen and Schinkel
also hit for an extra base, and Bar
ibeau pickled a three-base slam.
After a run had been scored in
the third inning, Pjtcher Bulk was
relieved by Schinkel, who allowed
eight hits and five runs in seven
innings. Marks, for the visitors was
also given a few bumps, allowing
six hits and four runs in one and a
third innings. Boehler, who took
his place, was nicked for ten hits
and twelve runs in his seven and
two-thirds innings. Burwell took
Smith's place in left field in the
seventh inning and made a hit in his
only trip to the plate, scores:
OMAHA.

New York, Aug. 17. Everything
is now all ready for the 1920 cad
die strike in Seattle. It has been
figured out that the bag-toters in
that district have gone on .strike
every year for the past decade, and
the season is not considered com
plete until such is the case. The
1919 ultimatum has been issued, the
caddies, of course, winning, so that
the way is clear for next year.
The recent walkout was a funny
affair in several respects, the most
humorous aspect being the forget
fulness of the strike leader, who
carried the ultimatum around in
his pocket until the strike had been
declared and until after the green
committee of the club had met the
demands that had never been made.
Bob Johnstone, the professional at
the Seattle Golf club, where all this
took place, had heard that the lads
were going to make a demand for
increased wages, and he carried the
matter before the green committee
a couple of weeks ago. The com
mittee agreed to meet the impend
ing demands.
Johnstone found this strike on
when he returned to the club late
in the afternoon, and he asked for
the strike leader, who appeared.
"What are your demands?" asked
the professional, "and why didn't i
you present them?"
bay, Mr. Johnstone, I put em m
my pocket and forgot," replied the i
lad. "But here they are. A soiled
piece of paper the ultimatum was
unfolded, and the professional dis
covered that the green committee
had beaten them to it. i
"All right, where's your strike
committee?" asked Johnstone.
"I haven't any, but I'll get you
one right away," was the answer.

Western Teams Hold
Whip Hand in Both of
Big League Chases
New York, Aug. 17. Virtual elim
ination of both New York teams
last week in the National and Amer
ican league pennant races leaves the
field clear tor western clubs to com
pete for the honor of meeting in the
world series. After losing four of
its six games with Cincinnati, the
New York Nationals, to overcome
the Reds" lead of six games, would
now have to win twenty-six of their
remaining forty games of the sea
son, while the Reds need to win only
seventeen of their thirty-four, a re
spective ratio of .650 and .500. New
York's percentage of victories today
is .636. In the younger league, Chi
cago, which stepped steadier last
week, has a lead of eignt and one
half games over New York, which
held to fourth place by defeating
Cleveland.
In the American league, Chicago
maintained a winning pace, although
its pitchers did not appear to be go
ing strongly. Cicotte, who won a
twelve-inning pitchers' duel from
Shaw of Washington last Sunday,
was batted hard Thursday, along
with Kerr, by Boston. Cicotte de
feated the Red Sox Friday as the
second relief pitcher in an eleven
inning game. In the rubber contest
Saturday the league leaders used
three pitchers before winning. To
day Chicago defeated Philadelphia
in a short contest.

WILDE WANTS TO
GOME OVER HERE
BUT HEMAY NOT
National Sporting Club of Lon
don Wants Herman to Go
to Britain for Title
Bout.
New York, Aug. 17 Anient, a now
'ias offered up two of its leading
bantam weight pretenders to the
cause of Jimmy Wilde, only to have
the British flyweight sensation tum
ble the lesser obstacles into the dis
card. By his defeat of Pal Moore of
Memphis, Wilde reigns supreme
among the contenders for the crown
now worn by Fete Herman. And it
is a.uite likely that English admirers
?jf the little pugilist will make it
ncre than worth while for Herman
'o journey to London to decide just
low far Britain is to be commended
imong the pygmies of the ring
When Joe Lynch returned to
merica moaning that he had been
i-obbed in his struggle with Wilde,
:n that the referee had dubbed
Wilde the winner after IS rounds,
nany listened to Lynch's tale of

Deserves Chance
He undoubtedly is a scrapper of
considerable parts. He has waged
consistent warfare against any and
ill comers and has been so per
sistently successful that he must
have the ability of a champion. He
:s deserving of a chance at Her
man's title. Herman cannot be
forced to travel to London to mix
with Wilde, but Herman hardly
:ould find a purse of such propor
tions as might be offend for a
ivorld's title engagement at the Na
tional Sporting club of London.
Wilde, however, wants to hunt
the Yankee dollar down in its own
lair. The little fellow, whom the
Britishers call a pocket edition of
the late Bob Fitzsimmons is turn
ing a cold eye on Promoter Coch
ran's bid for a return match with
Pal Moore at Olmpia, and is casting
'onging glances toward these shores
n the hopes of finding a boxing
'jenanza.
Whether Wilde's declarations that
ie wants to come to America are
the real goods or only are a bluff to
make Cochran raise the ante for the
proposed return tilt with Moore re
gains to be seen.
Would Be Welcomed.
There is no doubt, however, that
Wilde would be warmly welcomed
n this country. While he is sonie
'hing of an exploded phenom fistic
folk had been led to believe he was
well nigh invincible and greatly
were shocked by his failing to show
inything. extraordinary against
:ither Joe Lynch or Pal Moore he
jndoubtedly will prove a good draw
ing card. Fistic fans tire of old
races and welcome new ones. Amer
ica's cosmopolitan population, as
well as America's good sportsman
)hip, always assures a visiting for
ligner a hearty greeting.
The one fly in the ointment is that
Wilde has given out that his pro
posed trip to the United States does
not include the probability of his
meeting Pete Herman, for Wilde
declares there is no chance of Her
man making 116 pounds, the only
weight Jimmy will consent to
mingle at.
The cocky little Britisher insists
that he and not Champion Herman
should dictate the weight. There is
no reason, however, why Herman
should want to meet Wilde, while
'here is a strong reason, inasmuch
is Herman holds the title, why the
Britisher should desire a ring en
gagement with the American. There
ire no grounds for Wilde expecting
Herman to make 116 pounds.
Wilde's only chance of meeting Her-

Moore Not Idle.
While the proposed Wilde-Moore
return matcl is hanging fire Moore
will not be idle. The American has
been matched to meet Walter Ross,
the British bantam. The pair will
meet at Olympia within the next
week or so for a side bet of $2,500.
Perhaps Wilde s refusal to con
sider Cochran's offer to meet Moore
is influenced by the fact that the of
fer is none too rich a one. It was
given out that 20,000 persons at
tended The match between Wilde
and Moore, and that the Briton re
ceived $15,000 and the American
$10,000 for their services. Cochran
now announces that the receipts for
the fight were $9,500, which would
tend to make the assertion that
Wilde and More were paid a total
of $25,000 seem fishy.
The remarkable variance between
the unofficial and official reports of
attendance and gate receipts at the
Wides-Moore bout is in line with
the same variance that characterized
the recent heavyweight scrap at Toledo.
