OPENSOGT.UT
CINCINNATI
First Two at Reds' Home and
Next Three at Chicago
and Sixth and Seventh
Games in Ohio.
Cincinnati, Sept. 22. Cincinnati
for th first time in its history as a
National league city will, on Wed
nesday, October 1, witness the open
ing game of the series to decide the
championship of the world between
the Cincinnati Reds, winners of the
National league pennant, and the
Chicago White Sox, prospective win
ners of the American league pen
nant. Chicago has not yet cinched
the flag in the junior organization,
but th National commission made
its arrangements on the theory that
it was almost impossible for Cleve
land, the runner-up. to nose out
Comiikey's club. All games are
scheduled to start at 2:30 p. m.
Decided by Toss of Coin.
The decision to open the base ball
vciassic in Cincinnati was accinea on
the toss of a coin by Louis Comis
key, son of the owner of the Chicago
club. August Herrmann, president
of the Reds, called "heads" and won.
The teams will play the first two
games in this city, and the next
three will be played in Chicago. The
clubs then jump back to Cincinnati
tor games six' and seven. If this is
necessary before the eighth game,
which will be played in Chicago, it
will be decided by lot where the
ninth game should be contested,
should the series stretch out to this
lengthy The schedule as drawn calls
for continuous playing on each day,
weather permitting.
Umpires Selected. !
The umpires who will officiate in
the series are Williarn Evans and
R. F. Nallin of the American league
and Charles Rigler and E. C. Quig
ley of the National league.

M. MeCready, secretary of the Base
Ball Writers' Association of Amer
ica, will represent that organization.
These two officials will work in both
cities, 'and will be asssted by one
member of the local chapter of the
writers' assciation in each of the
contesting cities.
The commission voted itself 1,500

major and minor league clubs of the
country. After Presidents Johnson

velopes containing requests for
tickets for the games here from a
large box the meeting adjourned.

"The attacks on Mr. Herrmann at
. this time are inopportune," Mr.
Johnson said after the meeting in
speaking of the statement by Mr.
Baker of the Philadelphia Nationals
that Herrmann should resign from
the chairmanship of the commission.
Integrity Insulted.
"He has given something like 17
years to base ball and to attack him
at this time, when his club has won
a chamoionship is an insult to his in
tegrity." Mr. Johnson had no comment to
make in regard to the action taken

Creighton High Grid
Warriors Get Stiff
Scrimmage Practice
Coach Anderson of the Creighton
High foot ball squad put his war
liors through a stiff practice Monday
afternoon. He had his men scrim
mage with the reserves. From all
appearance the team looked like they
will give the Central High squad a
good fight when they meet on
September 27 at Creighton field.
The fullback appeared to be
mighty strong with Harold Eaton,
former Central High star, playing
quarterback and big Murphy at full.
Kelly and De Bore are playing at
half. This completes the backficld
machine.
Morgan and Kennedy are bright
prospects for the guard positions.
The ends are not slow. Tommy Row
land, brother of Manager Rowland
of the White Sox championship
team of 1917, and Finnigan will en
deavor to show the hill boys a hard
fight for their game.
Other men who are trying out
for positions are Russell Smith and
Gines Smith.

Art Logan Re-Elected
Captain of Central
High Foot Ball Squad
Arthur Logan, captain of the 1918
foot ball squad and basket ball quin
tet, was re-elected captain of the
Central High foot ball squad yester
day afternoon.
Arthur Logan was mentioned for
this position ever since the captain
elect, Arno Happer, Jeft Central for
another school. "Art" is the brother
of "Turk" Logan, former star for
Central in the year of 1917. "Turk"
is now attending the Creighton uni
versity. This will be the third time that
Logan has held the position of cap
tain on the Central High school
squads.
Coach Mulligan put his prospects
through a hard signal practice Mon
day afternoon at the high school
campus: Many men from last year's
reserves appeared in the lineup.
Oliver Maxwell, brother of Eugene
Maxwell of the 1917 machine and
all-star quarterback of last year's
team, appeared in the limelight. He
is playing for quarterback. Pete
Campbell and Clemmons are trying
to land the position of sigilal caller.
The "dark horse," Ivan Robertson,
practiced at fullback. Dave Chcsno
and Horner are playing the guard
positions. Captain-elect Logan will
probably be shifted to a tackle posi
tion. The wing positions lie be
tween Clemmon- and Campbell.
The lineup appeared to be consid
erably stronger and heavier than the
1918 squad. Moser will probably
play center.
Today Coach Mulligan expects to
put his men through a light scrimmage.

Former Base Ball Statistician
Opposes Lengthening Series
Ex-Major League Record Keeper, Bozeman Bulger,
Recently Returned From Overseas, Declares in
Favor of Old System Rather Than Commercial
ism of the New Plan.
New York, Sept. 22. Lieutenant
Bozeman Bulger is opposed to the
plan of the National commission to
make the world's series games a
commercial proposition. He says:
"If club owners in the American
and National leagues adopt the rec
ommendation of the National com
mission to stretch the world's series
to nine games instead of the usual
seven the charge of greed so often
leveled at directors of the sport will
be well established. It will only go
to prove that it takes a lot to kill
the good old game.
According to the decision reached
by the commission in Cincinnati,
one club will have to win five
games to become world's champions
and the players will be allowed to
participate in the receipts of the
first five games instead of the first
four.
To Forestall Players' Kick.
"This is so obviously a plan to
forestall a threatened kick by the
players, like that of last year, and
at the same time give the clubs
more money that it rather tends to
sicken lovers of a fast, snappy se
ries. "The old system has been a good
one. It has worked well since 1905.
The rules and customs of the an
nual event are so well grounded in
the minds of the fans that to change
it now would be like teaching a new
kind of arithmetic."
"But, unfortunately, same persons
in base ball will not consent to let
well enough alone. Interest in the
receipts, very likely, has overshad
owed interest in the sport. Above
all things the world's series is and
should be America's annual climax
to a national sport. Nothing else
should matter. Why spoil it by try
ing to drag a few more dollars into
the gate? The sport does not need
it. Moreover, it does not necessar
ily follow that the players will re
ceive more money in a series like
that. It is certain, however, that
the clubs will receive more money,
because they get a share of the first
five games and all of the receipts in
the last four."
Players Entitled to Purse.
"There is no objection to the
players getting a large purse. They
are entitled to it and should have
it. Until the amount of their share
was changed last year there was
never a kick from them. The main
objection is the possibility of hurt
ing the sport. Nine games will
as to rob it of interest. Instead of
fast, snappy playing to win the first
four games it will be a drawn out
institution to get as much money
as possible."
A number of fans who discussed
the matter offered the opinion that
few business men could give up the
time to take in a lull series that
would last more than a week. Sev
eral called attention 1,0 the fact that
when the Giants and' Red Sox had
to play eight games in 1912 the at
tendance fell off woefully in the last
game., Once the world's series loses
its zest it is no longer good sport.
The club owners, very likely, will
think over this some time before
they agree to such a fundamental
change in the one great event of
base ball.

JIM LQNDOS AND
JOHN PESEK WILL
DRAW BIG HOUSE
Auditorium Should Be Packed
When Shelton Farmer
Meets the Greek
Champion.
Wrestlers, their managers, sport
writers and fans alike will watch
with interest the wrestling match
between John Pesek of Shelton and
Jim Londos, the Greek champion,
which will take place at the Omaha
Auditorium October 2.
For the last year John Pesek has
been forging rapidly to the front in
the wrestling game. Two years ago
Pesek was regarded as a fairly
promising prospect, a youth who
might some day become a first-class
wrestler.
Didn't Have Weight.
But nobody really expected Pe
sek to become a star. He was fast
and he seemed to be fairly strong.
But he didn't have the weight.
Since then, however, Tesek has
been displaying such remarkable
skill that those who gave him little
more than a passing glance a year
ago are watching his achievements
with keen interest now.
For Pesek is proving that weight
means nothing to him. His remark
able speed and his great strength,
coupled with his skill and knowledge
of the game, have made him a most
dangerous opponent. He never has
lost a fall and some of his victories
have been over men who outweighed
him 40 and SO pounds.
Meets Finished Product.
In Jim Londos Pesek meets the
finished product. Londos is a wres
tler who knows every trick of the
mat game. His one shortcoming is
lack of weight. Give him the weight
and he would be a world's cham
pion, many believe.
But Londos will not have to con
cede weight when he meets Pesek,
for the Nebraska lad weighs nq
more than the Greek champion.
So if Pesek beats Londos even
those Chicago skeptics, who seem
to abound in the Windy City, will
have to admit Pesek is the real
goods and will make a bitter con
test for the premier honors of the
mat game if given the opportunity.

GREAT OLD REMEDY
FOR SKIN DISEASES
S. S. S. Clears Skin of Erup
tions Drives Poison From
the System.
Get it fixed in your mind that
skin eruptions, Eczema, burning,
itching skin, and all skin diseases
are due entirely to impure and in
fected blood. If the trouble was
on the outside of the skin, by simply
washing and keeping it clean you
could obtain relief not even oint
ments, lotions, and salves would be
necessary. Agree with us in this
belief and your trouble can be re
lieved you can be entirely restored
I to health. S. S. S. is a purely vege
j table treatment that you can secure
from your own druggist. Fifty
: years ago S. S. S. was discovered
; and given to suffering mankind.
; During this period it has proven its
: remarkable remedial properties and
has relieved thousands of cases of
disease caused by poor blood. You
can be relieved, but you must take
S. S. S. Take it if only pimples ap
pear, for they denote bad blood, and
may be followed by the sufferings
from torturing skin eruptions.
Therefore be sure. Don't take
chances, don't use lotions. If yours
is a special, case, write for expert
