However, both the Holmes Jun iors and Meyers Bearcats have pro tested the games, the former claim ing that Jhe diamonds were too wet, and the fatter that no official um pires were on deck. The Meyers Bearcats agreed, however, accord ing to Manager Smith of the Lodge men, on the umpires and also agreed to play. ( It is understood that the Juniors had six men on the field at the scheduled hour and several more showed up a few minutes later, but refused to play the game.

Treasury Expects Benefit of"$18,000 From World's Series Washington, Sept. 28. The Unit ed States treasury is expecting to benefit at least $18,000 on the world series base ball games. Each pur chaser of a ticV.ct will have to pay the customary admission tax of one cent for each ten cents or fraction thereof, which on the basis of last years attendance will mean enough money to pay the president for nearly three months. Brokers, it is believed will find the business of "scalping" tickets this year at exorbitant prices much less profitable than in the past, inasmuch as there is a tax of SO per cent on the excess charge. Brokers will be required to regis ter with, the collectors of internal revenue of the Cincinnati and Chi cago districts before doing business, and any violations of the regula tions will be dealt with vigorously, the law imposing a punishment of one year's imprisonment or $10,000 fine.

The front right-hand side tire was chopped up, caused by running at a high rate of speed on a flat tire, and one of the fenders bent. No trace of the murderers has been found. ' Deputy sheriffs of Kansas were in Jewell-county searching after trace of them was found southwest of the city. The bridges over the Repub lican river were ' guarded, but the murderers may have crossed before parties got to the bridge.

CORNHUSKERS IN FINAL PRACTICE FOR IOWA GAME All Drills Will Be Behind Closed Gates Regular Team to Be Chosen Before Last Day. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. '28. (Spe cial.) The Cornhuskers today be gin the home stretch of their final practice before the big game with the University of Iowa at Iowa City next Saturday. Coach Schulte, it is 'txpected, will not announre his final team before the last day before de parture for the Hawkeye village Thursday. All drill this week will be behind closed gates at Nebraska field. A temporary police has been formed of university cadets and undergrads intimate with the athletic depart ment. Several strangers have been noticed about the Huske.r precincts, their demeanor decidedly Iowan, at least this is the suspicion of local vigilaats. Sam Kellogg, husky fullback and end whose home town is Nebraska City, arrived in Lincoln Saturday morning. He turned out for the regular practice the same afternoon. The head coach ran him in at end opposite Swanson, the position he held two years ago and last year with the S. A. T. C. eleven. The squad now numbers 46 men. Leading American Trainer Thinks Joie Ray's Days Are Ovef New York, Sept. 28. In the opin ion of one of America's foremost trainers of athletes Joie Ray has run his last great race. This prediction was made at Franklin field, Phila delphia, immediately after the little Illinois A. C. champion had run his third hard race in the national cham pionships. - Ray had previously won the one mile championship in 4.14 2-S, slip ping four seconds from the previous championship record made by him self at St. Louis in 1917, and the half-mile championship in 1:56 sec onds Either of these two perform ances would have been considered a good day's work by the ordinary athlete, but not so with Joie. He wanted to bring another champion ship to his club, and when the clerk of criurse called the teams out for the four-mile relay. Ray answered the call as one of the Illinois A. C. quartet, and ran the last mile of the race for his team. Ray was compelled to run hard in this race. The men who ran agajnst him were fresh, while Ray had already run two of the greatest races of his career. He proved equal to the task and led his rivals across the finish line in 4:32. In discussing Ray's great per formances after the games with sev eral prominent trainers and athletic officials it was admitted that he is the greatest middle distance runner of all time, but one of the coaches said he believed Ray made the mis take of his life by running that last mile as a mAnber of his club's four mile relay team. He firmly believed that the strain of those three great races, within a space of three hours, will prove a permanent injury to Ray, and that the Illinois A. C. star vill never run another record break ing race. There is a limit to the punishment that the human body can stand: and l ,?Pinlon of th'S well known coach, Ray overstepped the limit.

One Stroke No More Vital Than Another, Says Ouimet Expert Declares Recent Amateur Championship Up ' set All Notions of Golf Says Driving Just As Vital in Winning Matches As Putting. From Nebraska Field By FRANCIS OUIMET. The recent amateur golf cham pionship somewhat upset all our old notions of golf because it proved beyond question that one stroke is no more important than another and that driving is as vital in winning matches as putting. To be sure Oakmont is unlike many other championship courses in that liber tics are not permitted from the tees as on other links. But as golf is demanding a better all-around game: each year this is an indirect way of complimenting Oakmont. Naturally one is most impressed in a game like golf when he goes down to defeat. In my own case 1 do not have to look for my down fall. Time and again a pulled tee shot put me in such trouble that un less my ball was favored with-a good lie a recovery was out of the ques tion. When Woody Piatt put me out on 38th hole this was just the case. A badly pulled tee shot left me in such a position that it was out of the question to-reach the green on my second. Piatt played fault lessly" from the tee to the cup and won a deserved victory. Blames Poor Driving. I know that the vital strokes in my matches at Oakmont were' tee shots. My opponents won many holes because of my having trouble of this nature. So that, arfter all, poor driving is invariably the cause of many defeats. Dave Herron won because of hii superior putting, but had he fallen down on his driving it is extremely doubtful if his put ting record would have been as good. There is a mental hazard to overcome in such a situation. Tim; was once and not so many years ago when a golfer could win everything in sight if his putting was up to the mark. Today, if he does not drive well, he does not have the opportunity to putt that he otherwise would have. In other words, on holes where good golfers can each the green in two he who takes three strokes to get there ar rives too late to win. Showed Masterful Putting. Herron's victory while due to his masterful putting, was made possi ble because Dave had a game that was well rounded in every- depart ment. His powerful drives were straight and as they were followed up by deadly irons he. aiways had the opportunity to putt. Now if you cannot drive well it stands to reason tnat even it you do get a good second shot you will not be on the green. Therefore your opportun ity to putt comes one stroke too late. AH of which proves that good driving and fine iron shots are just as important as sinking putts. The vital stroke in Bobby Jones' case in the finals was that topped brassie shot on number 12. It was vital because through no fault of his own Jones lost a hole that he should have won. And in losing it Jones left himself an almost impossible handicap to cut do.vn. In my match with Evans the vital stroke was Chick's approach to the 36th hole. This was odd and queer for in golf matches the turn ing point, or psychological moment, usually comes before the last hole. But in this case the climax came at the end when Evans over-approached the cup on his third shot and left himself too long a putt to hole. Plenty of Proof, -t; If this season in golf proved any thing it proved the fallacy of the theory that putting wins golf matches. Do not be carried away with the idea that if you can putt well the rest is easy. While put ting is mighty important and must be mastered by anyone who wishes to play good golf it is never more so than driving or playing the irons. There is proof in abundance to be had in the records. .Take my meeting with Evans at Oakmont. Chick has been called a poor putter. But the records show that on the 36 holes we played he took 64 putts to my 68. Now iW putting is the vital part of the game I would have lost. But putting is not. It's the perfectly balanced game the long, straight drive, the clean snappy irons, the deadly mashie and the even more deadly putting that wins be the play medal or match. Golf demands that to day and will demand this perfectly balanced game more and more as th years roll by. luopjrngnt, hoi Metzger.) JACK DEMPSEY IS FAILURE AS ACTOR SHOULD BOX SOON Army, Navy and Civilian Box ing Board Will Ask Champion to De fend Title. Lieut: Gov. P. A. Barrows and ex Coach E. H. Stewart were interested spectators at Nebraska field during the practice Thursday afternoon. The almost-governor likes foot ball. "I seldom miss a game," he said. Roy Cameron, noted for his ex ploit in '15 when, as star center of the Cornhusker eleven, won the game from Kansas and incidentally the Missouri Valley championship, leaves the freshmen in exclusive charge of John Riddell, Nebraska graduate. k Forty-six freshmen are out so far. "Next stop Iowa City." That's the slogan at Nebraska field this week. Four days hence, on Thursday, the "Indian" Schulte takes his proteges in charge and starts for the Hawkeye stronghold. The advance dope says that consid erable Husker cash will go with him. The Huskers will have a well-balanced team all around this year. Schulte's first choice for a line causes the scales to balance at about 180 pounds. The addition of a few other beef reserves ought to bring it close to 200 pounds. "Had to plant that wheat, you know." Thus Ernie Hubka, star Husker tackle, explained himself as he snowed up for practice permanently Thursday eve. The coaches had been burning the wires between here and Johnson, Neb., for four days in frantic effort to ascertain the truth of a report that Hubka was going to s.tay home this fall to assist his father during the "huskin' season." He's a real Cornhusker. i Capt. Paul Dobson, the stalwart halfback on the state machine, is lined up strong as a candidate for the AH-American eleven this fall. Provided the Huskers defeat Notre Dame, Minnesota and Syracuse, local dopesters figure that said event might even cause one W. Camp to look further into his "records." '.... Foot , ball followers hereabouts can't forget the time, back in 1915, when the said esteemed Walter mixed hi? "records" and selected the w. k. Vic Halligan, star Ne braska tackle, on his "All-American." . Halligan has been out of school only one year. One thing is missing the top to the press stand. Certain news guys have asserted that if said shed is not re-erected there won't be any ideas wired from this point for some time hence. Young Jordan Challenges.

Jack Kearns hardly can be blamed because Jack Demnsev v, as a failure as an actor Nor can thelpal and manager of the world's heavyweight champion be accused of not trying' ' to make Dcmpsey appear as a headliner across the footlights, that the the atrical venture of Dempsey came to an untimely end three weeks after it started on a supposed 15 weeks' tour was the fault only of the gul- libles who this time refused to fall for the display. Every one wanted to get a glimpse of Dempsey, but as to paying for the glimpse, that was another thing. Kearns' Impossible Dreams. One of the primary aims of the Army, Navy and Civilian Board of Boxing Control is to force boxing champions to put their titles at stake at least ence every six months. Dempsey holds the first belt issued by that organization and should be the leader in living up to the rules. While no one begrudges Dempsey all the easy money he can squeeze nut nf thp hnnK it i rtifth tiinf that boxing was helied a bit by Demp sey. If he only would talk about some sortof a scrap, it might sat isfy, but instead he allows his man ager to ramble about meeting three men in the same ring or some other dream as impossible. v Meehan Might Repiat. Right in this country there are several heavyweights who might make it interesting for Dempsey. Willie Meehan of San Francisco still thinks that he has the Indian sign on the champion and is willing to trv to Drove it. Bill Brennan gave Dempsey the hardest battle of his career, according to Dempsey. Brennan nneht do the same thing again if the two were to meet. At any rate, Dempsey could get a fat guarantee for a bout if lie were of a mind to sign up. - , That there are great possibilities for Dempsey or a promoter of a heavyweight title bout in New Jer sey was proved beyond cavil when nearly 50,000 persons jammed into the Jersey City base ball park to watch Johnny Kilbane knock out Frankie Burns. Prices were fixed at $1 and $2 a head, and even at that the receipts, were nearly $70,000. Electric Score Board Being Installed at Omaha Auditorium Ma'nieer Charley Franke is over hauling and installing his monster electric score board at the Omaha Auditorium and will have it in work ing order for the first game of the world's series, Wednesday afternoon. The board has not been used for two years, since the telegraph com pany was unable to furnish the de scription of the game, play by play, last year, due to war conditions. This year the scores will be received at the Auditorium and reproduced on the huge board, just as they happen on the field, within a few minutes after each play takes place This score board is so arranged that every play is depicted almost as soon as they happeti, by means of tiny electric lights. The ball may be seen, from the time it leaves the pitcher's hand until it is fielded and the play completed. Base runners are shown on their way around the bags, by means of little white lights. The ball will be shown as a red light. If caught, the fielder catching it will be marked with a reen light. An error is shown by the red (ball) light traveling to the fielder, showing a greon light for an instant and then a red light again, thus displaying the ball again, and showing the error. Omaha tans, -by watching the elec tric score board, may see the world's series witnout leaving the Gate City. The-affair is an invention of the, pop ular manager of the Auditorium and is a wonderful scheme to show every play just as they are made on the field. The board will be in opera tion for every game of the series.. That surplus piece of furniture can be turned into cash bv a Bee Want Ad. ..... . " HELPS "BUDDIE" TO FIND WIFE ANOTHER STEALS Wounded War Hero Returns Home to Find His Love Has Been Desecrated. Chicago, Sept. 28. Detective Sergeant Jahn O'Mally of the bureau is working on an assign ment into which he is putting his whole heart and soul. He has been assigned to find Mrs. Irene Sanders. The case isn't a pretty one. Mrs., Sanders' husband, Bert, went to France in the early days of the war. There was a room er in the house John Hamilton. Recovering in a base hospital after being wounded at Chateau Thierry, Sanders got letters from neighbors telling him that Hamil ton was paying attentions to his wife. Convalescing from"..,; second gas sing in the Meuse offensive, the sol dier got more letters which told how Hamilton was neglecting his daily employment to remain at home with Mrs. Sanders. i And when he came home, broken in health, but with a fine standing in the Second division and the rank of a sergeant, he found that the love his wife once had for hiin was cold. Hamilton moved out when Ser geant Sanders came home, but soon after she left. " So Sanders went to the detective bureau, and told his story. Ser geant O'Mally listened with more than usual interest. He was a bunkie of Sanders. They had been in the same company in France. 0 Wants Her Back. "Whatever my wife may have done," said Sergeant Sanders, "I am willing to have her return be cause of the children." There are four of the children. If the mother doesn't return, they will be sent to an institution. "I'll find her," said O'Mally. Nonpariel Foot Ball Team Organizing for Big Season This Year With the amateur base ball season drawing to a close, amateur foot .ball will hold the center of the s,tage, and it is expected that the 1919 season will be the greatest ever witnessed in local circles of this sec tion of the state. One of the first elevens to be or ganized for the 1919 season is the crack Nonpariels, city and state champions. The Nonpariels after an absence of one year, due to the fact that many of the star players were in the service of Uncle Sam, will be represented in the field this season by one of the fastest elevens that has yet played under that name. Phil Lynch, one of the best known managers in this part of the state, and also a "player of great ability, will have charge of the Nonpariels again this season. Over 40 candi dates have been trying out for a berth with the Nonpariels, according to Manager Lynch, and any foot ball crack who wishes to try out is urged to be at the Mason school grounds, Twenty-fourth and Mason streets at 10 o'clock this morning. Manager Lynch is arranging a great schedule for the season, and any team, in the city or out of town wishing to meet the Nonpariels is urged to get in touch with Lynch at Red 8443 or address him at 2521 Hickory street. Manager Lynch announced last night that the follow ing men have already passed the test and wifl be on the regular line-up: Harry Williams, fullback; Hason and Flanagan, halfbacks; Walter Spellman, also well-known in local amateur and professional base ball circles, center; Raso and Casev. guards; Pearson and Sandau, tackle; foran and .bimoson. ends: Toe Quinn, former star for the Carlisle Indians, will also play with the Non pariels. Practically all of the olav- ers of the team were across the "waves." Potts Sandau, former am ateur base ball player who for the past two years fought with Uncle Sam's army, and who was shot in the leg, has fully recovered and ex pects to be one of the shining stars of the eleven. The sports department of The Omaha Bee will handle the amateur foot ball news in a better and grand er shape than ever before and any teams organizing are requested to send in their names, teleohone num bers, names of captains and man agers, addresses or any information of new value to William C.
