THE BEE: OMAHA; WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1919.
POOREST GAME OF
SERIES GOES TO
THE BOOSTERS
Slow and Indifferent Playing
on Part of Locals Gives
3-1 .Victory to Visiting
Des Moines Team.
The Pes Moines Boosters won
tlie final game in Omaha, when the
Rourkes played a very indifferent
game, fielding as though disgusted
and allowing runners to beat out
throws to bases. The only redeem
ing feature of the local club's play
ing was Manager Jackson's hidden
hall trick, with which he put "Lefty"
Winn out at first in the ninth inning.
The Kourkes made their only run
in the ninth inning, when Jap Bar
'oeau was hit by a pitched ball.
Graham, one of the few local plavers
with any semblance of life, lifted
one fcr a two-base hit and Jap can
tered home with the only run for
Omaha. Spellman tried to dupli
cate, swinging hard at the pill, but
popped a high foul, which Catcher
Breen gathered in.
The visitors scored in the initial
inning, Marr getting a pass to first
and going to third on Hasbrook's
single. He had been advanoed to
second on Coffey's out. Connelly
ripped out another single and Marr
scored. Milan flied out to Lee in
left field Ur the third out.
A single by Connolly, a pass to
Milan 'and singles by Breen and
Hartford gave Des Moines two more
runs in the fourth inning. Schatz
man was relieved from duty on the
mound at this point and Fuhr faced
Winn. The outfielder-pitcher slap
ped one in front of the plate, which
Spellman, by fast work, grabbed in
time to get Breen at the plate.
Omaha's new catcher. Brown,
started the game behind the plate,
but it was found that his injured
finger would not allow him to throw
to second and Spellman took his
place n the second inning. Brown's
only score was one put out, when
Hasbrook was caught at the plate
on Scbinkel's long throw from cen
terfield on Connolly's hit.
The Rourkes are booked for a se
ries in Tulsa and left last night.

Major Leagues Not to
Draft Minor League
Players This Season
Chicago, .Sept. 2. Club owners of
the National and American leaeues
will not draft star players from the
minor leagues this tall.
This was decided Tuesday, when
the National Base Ball commission
recommended that the privileges of
the draft be suspended for 1919 be
cause of the "uncertainty now exist
ing" between the major and minor
leagues of the country.
The commission ruled, however,
that the major league clubs be per
mitted to continue the purchase of
players it suitable arrangements
could be made with the minor league
clubs.
A. R. Tearney of Chicago, presi
dent of the Three I and Western
leagues, who led the fight against
the practice of the major leagues in
drafting minor league talent, was
elated with the action of the com
mission. He was chairman of the
committee which effected a break in
relations with the major leagues last
winter and the subsequent abroga
tion of the national agreement.
"The action means that the minor
leagues will now be able to build
fences for themselves instead of for
the major leagues, Tearney said.

OOVER chirps that whale meat will reduce the cost of living.
Simple bimon had the same idea when he went hshmg in a bucket.
Whale meat will make a big difference in table manners. We'd hate
to be within touring distance of a boarding house when a bunch of bow
legged, crosseyed boarders started to throwing harpoons at the main
dish.
The first bird to try whale meat was Jonah. He took a whole order.
This will be rather too much for the average married man whose bank
account is too anaemic to withstand the rigors of our northern climate.
The best way to break into the whale menu is to order a few tons as a
starter and then gradually work up to the climax. It's a neat, but not
gaudy dish. You can tell when you have had enough when you start
to spout.
Owing to the size of the orthodox whale, the standard brand of
policemen's and firemen's suspenders are slated for some terrific strain
when the wiff sends the old man down to market for a fish.
There has always been a robust argument as to whether a whale
was an animal or a fish. Scientists label the wild whale a mammal,
which is enough to make anybody wild. But then, scientists are a bunch
of birds who spend their afternoons chasing butterflies and picking but
tercups. If a guy is that coo-coo in the daytime, we hate to think what
he does at night. The whale has a thick coat of fat on his frame which
protects him from horseflies who think he is an animal and from water
bugs who think he is a fish. The whale aia't sure what he is himself,
but he an't taking any chances.
When we start scoffing whale blubber in habit forming quantities, the
aquarium will be the farmers' market.
Holmes White Sox Win Two
Out of Three at Shenandoah
,The Holmes White Sox took two

the Holmes' only score.
In the second game, the Holmes
played rings around the McCaffereys
of Omaha, winning 12 to 0. Langer,
on the mound for the Holmes,
pitched gilt-edge ball, allowing but
five hits, and was never in danger.
Langer secured a homer and a triple,
as did Wolf. Bernstein, Vernon and

Armours Book Strong
Attraction in League
of Nations Soldiers
Business Manager Delaware of
the Armours has booked the League
of Nations club for a series of
games September 6 and 7. Thv
team has been touring the eastern
states playing such teams as the
Chicago American Giants, A. B. C.
of Indianapolis and the Royal Giants
of New York City. Up to date the
League of Nations team has won
52 out of 71 games played. Last
Sunday the Nations club shut out
the St. Louis Giants in two games,
7-0 and 5-0.
The League of Nations club is
made up of overseas soldiers and
no doubt will be the strongest club
the Armours have tackled this sea
son. Many of the players have had
service in "B" and "C" class
leagues before entering the army
service. Three games will be played,
one on Saturday, September 6, and
a double-header Sunday, Septem
ber 7.
Police Have No Clue.
Nashville, Sept. 2. After work
ing on several theories, the police
finally admitted they were without
a single clue in the baffling murder
case of Robin J. Cooper, prominent
attorney, whose body was found
Saturday morning with the skull
crushed in Richland creek, near his
home in the fashionable Belle Meade
park. J. F. Feuston and Casey Jor
don, a woman, who were arrested
Monday, were exonerated of any
implication in the murder.
Plestina Posts His
Forfeit for Match
With Chris Sorenson
Promoter Charlie Moon of Lin
coln received, the appearance forfeit
of Marin Plestina a couple of days
ago and immediately closed all the
minor details for the finish match
between the Chicago giant and
Chris Sorenson, the recently dis
charged corporal of the United
States army.
The Sorenson-Plestina match will
be staged in Lincoln on September
11. The ex-soldier is training in
Omaha and already reports himself
fit to give Plestina the match of
his life. Chris declares that . he has
no fear of defeat and that he intends
to beat Plestina and do it quickly.
Using Sorenson's expression,
"Plestina is the most advertised
wrestler in the game today and the
man that can dump him is the logi
cal candidate for a title match." The
former doughboy has already been
offered a match with Steelier, Cad
dock or a return go with John Pe
sek if he succeeds in pinning Tles-tina.
