Double-Header, Rourke Park, Today, Omaha vs. St. Joseph, First Game-2 P. M.
FIFTEEN - INNING
CONTEST WON BY
ST. JOSEPH CLUB
Rourkes in Lead Twice, Are
Jied as Many Times and
t Finally Beaten in Long
Overtime Game. '
The leading St. Joseph club tied
, - : the score with the Kourkes twice
v In the Saturday game and after
. i . thev had battled five innings with
' out a acore, the visitors finally
snaked one over m the fifteenth in
"'ning. Beall scoring from second
on C Jackson's single.
The iranie was something of a
pitcher's duel. Earl Schatzman of
y the locals having decidedly the
- best of it, even though losing. , He
allowed an average of one hit per
i inning, 15 in all, while the Rourkes
made 16 off Hoffman. Schatzman
fanned eight and, Hoffman only
whiffed two. Three-of the visitors
walked and four Rourkes received
free passes to first.
There was only about 700 faiyi
. !:i the stands and some of them left
in the ninth inning, a few other
left in the tentIV and a great num-
' ' ocr arose in their seats to go in the
. ast of the tenth. With the score
stifl knotted, they resumed their
1 seats and stuck till the fifteenth
' - frame was over and Omaha had
lost another one.
Two unassisted double plays fea
tured tne game, Ihird Baseman
Hemmingway making the first one,
' catching a line drive and stepping
on third for a double. Second Base-
' man Butcher of the visitors made
. i the same play at his -station in the
? fourteenth inning. Each of these
' plays undoubtedly saved, the game
r ' for their teams. Center fielder L,
Jackson of the Sioux City club was
an important factor in his club's
" - victory.
' ,v With as many put-outs as usually
" jiven a first baseman, Jackson add-
"" ed to his glory with tour hits in
seven trips to the plate, and had one
1 '" sacrifice hit. A good day's work for
i '. iny one, and it is rumored that Man-
-J ger Jackson ot the locals retusea
him a job' this year, saying he could
i ' 'at, but could ncU field his position.
The score: i ..

Ex-President of the
Western League Is
Granted $6,000 Claim
Auburji, Xr Y. Aug. 30. The
national board" of the National as
sociation of professional base ball
leagues today allowed a claim of
E. VV. Dickerson, a western mews-
oaoer writer, for $6,425 against the
western base ball league fpr alleged
breach of contract.
M. Dickerson was elected to jthe
presidency of the league in 1917 for
a three-year term when the league
suspended in July 1918 on account
of war conditions, went overseas as
a soldier. A. R. Tearney, of Chicago
was- tendered and accepted the pres
idency of the league last Feburary,
a month before Mr. Dickerson's re
turn to this country.
The board alsq affirmed its pre
vious decision denying the applica
tion of the Texas league to be ad
vanced to a class A. rating.
Since John B. Went Away.
Might as well have another hour

Sun. ' ,
n By WILLIAM O. BLOZIES.
With but two city amateur cham
pionship tangles oh the program to
day, all attention and interest is
being drawn to Luxus park, Twenty-fourth
and Vinton streets, where
one of the largest crowds in the
history of the national pastime vis
expected.
Both battles are for chamnionshin
honors in their respective classes? B
andC and the four teams particr
ipatjng are all in great shape and
the best- that have played in the
championship finals for a number of
years.
What promises to be one of the
hardfes,t fought and most interesting
city class B champhsnship series in
the history of the local sand-lot will
be inaugurated this afternoon at 3:30
o'clock, when the Western llninn
and the tJnions clash in the opening
fray of a thrre-game affair.
Have Played Great Ball.
Both the Wiremen and the Unions.
Saturday and Sunday champions, re
spectively, have played a brand of
base ball unequalled thus far in any
city series, and since both teams
are determined to get the other's
scalp today's contest should be hard
fought from start to finish.
At a late hour last night confi
dence feigned in the camps of both
teams and from information given.
qut by Manager Moskovitz and Man
ager Pascal, of the Western Unions
&nd Unions, respectively, a real
treat is in store for the spectators
this afternoon.
The leaders have put their men
through some strenuous practice
during the past week and every man.
it was reported, has been given his
instructions as "how to play the
game,' 'and are in the best of con
dition and are waiting for the hour
to arrive when they will enter the
championship fight for the class B
title.
The Commercial league and City
league champions have demonstrated
during the regular season and in the
elimination series for the Saturday
and Sunday honors that they have
the makings, of "big leaguers,' and
plenty of fast and' sensational field
ing and great hittting should be
witnessed.
Star Slab Artists.
No, doubt two of the best slab
artists in the city will oppose each
ther on the mound in this batle.
t was announced that Robert
Greko, better known as "Bob," who
proved a hero in the Saturday
championship play-off against the
Pearl Memorials, Church league
winners, by his remarkable hurling
and brilliant hitting, will be on.tb
firing line for the-wiremen, while
Elmer Nufer, the "iron-man," as he
is called, will heave tKem over the
rubber for the Unions.
Greko, it will be remembered that
during the regular Commercial
league season, pitched great ball for
the Iten Biscuit Co., and would
have won the championship for his
team had not his teammates booted
the game away. He was allowed
to play with the wiremen by the
committee in charge of the city
series, because a, nuniber of the
players were ill or out of the city.
Home Run Hitter.
While with the Western Unions
he proved to be the mainstay in the
box, after Tipkey.itlje regular hurl-
er, was nit nard ahd proved easy lor
His opponents. Bob has also been
nicknamed "The home run hitter of
the series." Thus far in the play
off of the Commercial league race
and Saturday championships he has
made four round trip circuit drives.
Manager Pascal of the City leagu
ers announced that he is confident
that Nufer will be able to stop the
heavy hitting wiremen and it has
been rumored that followers of the
Sunday champs are betting heavily
on their favorites and also that
Greko will not be able to drive the
sphere over the wall.
Many of the spectators are look-
ing for the wiremen to cop the
race, since they have made their
wonderful showing during the Com
mercial league race and Caturday
championship play-off. The Com
mercial leaguers have won a place
in the "Hall of Fame" by the bril
liant v uphill fight throughout the
league season and Saturday series.
Dark Hones.
The Western Unions were classed
as "dark horses" throught the
Commercial league season and the
Saturday championship frays, the
dopesters predicting, that they
would not have a chance. However,
when both -of these, championship
frays were ended sadness reigned
in the hearts of these dopesters,
and it was reported that many of
them shave now turned and are fav
oring the Wiremen. I
Should the Western Union team
win the Class B city championship
it will be the first time in the his
tory of the local eand lot that a
Saturday organization has won the
honors, as the City league in former
years has carried off the title.
Following will be the probable
line-up for the classTJ championship
tray:

Preliminary Contest.
With one game to their credit
in the tight for class C citv cham
pionship, honors, the World-Her
ald team, champs of rhe Booster
league, will lock horns with the
Townsend Gun company team,
champs of the Gate City league,
at 1:30 o'clock as a preliminary to
the Western Union-Union battle.
In an effort to even up matters,
Manager John Satrapa, announced
last night, that Joe Ort, the speedy
little southpaw, who has been the
mainstay of the team this season
will be in the box for the Gunners.
Ort, who sprained his ankle in the
fourth inning last Sunday, ffas fully
recovered and will be in fine shape
for today's contest.
Although the newspaper crew are
favorites in the series, since they
are a last aggregation and have
eliminated the Highland Parks Phar
macy team, pennant winners of the
Inter-Lity league in two straight
contests won last Sunday from the
Townsends by a 7 to 0 score, fol
lowers of the Gwrrrers and Gate
City league are anticipating & vic
tory for their favorites today.
Switches Line Up.
Since -Ralph Spellman, the crack
back-stopper of the newspaper
team has left the city to play with
the crack team at Winner, S. D.,
Manager Costanzo has been forced
to switch his line-up. It was re
parted that George Bernstein, the
demon who performs around the
third sack, will probably catch, while
Sogolow will be at the third Station
instead of short, Volker to short in
place of second, Dixon to second
instead of his regular position at
first, and Simpson, a pitcher, play
ing the initial sack.
Should the lownsends even up
matters this afternoon, the third and
final game of the series will be
staged next Sunday afternoon.
Oficialls of the Municipal Ama
teur baseball association, under
whose auspices these games are
being staged, are making plans for
a record breaking crowd, and spec
tators are urged to come early so
as to avoid the rush.
The probable line-up follows:

between Champion Benny Leonard
and Lew Tendler, the crack light
weight ot Philadelphia, may be
fought after all at one of the base
ball parks in Philadelphia on or
abotn September 22. Phil Glass
man, manager of Tendler, has agreed
to- talk oyer the match with Billy
Gibson, manager of Leonard, and so
anxious is he to land the match
for his man that he is likely to give
Gibson the terms which "Gib" de
mands for Leonard's services.
This bout is expected to draw $40,-

Forest Hills, Aug. 30. All danger
of the 1919 national turf tennis sin
gles championship going abroad at
the end of the season was removed
here today with the elimination of
the last of the foreign competitors
in, the thirty-eighth championship
tournament of the National Tennis
association. The completion of the
fifth round found three eastern and
one western racquet expert still in
the running and given fair weather
the new title holder will be evolved
from among William M. Johnston
of San Francisco, Wallace F. John
son, William T. Tilden -I, both of
Philadelphia, and R. Norris Wil-
iliams of Boston. Of this ouartet
two are previous holders of nation
al titles. Williams won in 1914 and
1916, while Johnston was crowned
champion in the 1915 tournament.
Stars Go Down.
The play today marked the pass
ing of two famous international
Davis cup stars and the American
title holder of 12 years ago. Nor
man E. Brookes of Australia fell
before the tornado-like drives and
smashes of Tilden, while R. Lindlcy
Murray of Niagara Falls, who won
the championship from Tilden a
year ago, bowed before the racquet
wizardy of Johnston, long with
Brookes went Maurice ' E. 4lc
Loughlin of Los Angeles, who. five
years ago on this same strip ot
west side club turf defeated Brookes
and Anthony Wilding in the great-;
est Davis cup matches ever wit
nessed in any part of the world.
Brookes made afar better show
ing in his elimination match against
Tilden than McLoughlin when op
posed by Williams, notwithstanding
that the Australian is many vears
older. Tilden defeated Brookes J-6,
6-4, 7-5, 6-3, but not until the vet
eran had given a remarkable ex
hibition of the court play which has.
made him famous. The a!l Phila-
delphian employed absolutely stun
ning speed and power in almost all
his strokes and had it not been for
the fact that this power was mixed
with extreme wildness would have
won in all probability in straight
sets. . ,
Serves Wifft Speed.
His service today was bevontl .....
anything ever seen on a tennis
court, Mie ball coming off his rac
quet like a white' streak with a
speed that fac exceeded anything
ever shown by McLoughlin i when
the latter' was at the zenith of his
farm Tilden scored no less than
16 clean service aces and in addition
forced Brookes to commit ymany
more errors in his attempt (ere-,
turn these rifle-like shots. In fact
it was speed alone .that threw
Brooke so completely off his form
for when Tilden chose to slow up
the old master's play immediately -took
on impressiveness. But- even
at these times the .Philadclphian by
his remarkably accurate lobbying
and puzzling change of pace, scored
or caused Brookes to net or out
the ball for points. ,
As the play progressed Brookes
tired- under tile terrific strain of the
battle and the realization that his
remarkable skill and steadiness
availed him not against the sneed
and varying strokes of Tilden. That
Brookes fully appreciated 'the cali
bre of the victor's tennis was shown
by his enthusiastic congratulation
of Tilden and the fatherly manner
in which he patted him on the back
as they walked off the court. . V
