Young Men's Christian association had an easy time trouncing their opponents, taking the lead in the first few seconds of play and never being in danger of losing. Omaha Uni Wins. In the opening game the Omaha University reserves, through the re markable coaching of Coach Ernie Adams, scored in the first few sec onds, when Presley.' forward, shot the goal from practically the center of the floor. Presley and Beacons were the point getters for Omaha university, while Kline, forward for the Commerce reserves shot both of the goals. The first half ended "with the score, 13 to 1, the final score being 27 to 4. Freiberg, forward, and Cooper renter, were the stars for the Y. M. H. A. and were responsible for the 28 to 7 victory achieved over the Thorpian Athletic club," who took the franchise 'of the Drake Realty Construction company. Despite the fact that the Thorpian quintet lost by the big score, they put up a game fight, as this was their first time to gether this season. The Drake team "withdrew yesterday morning and in order to play as per schedule, the Thorpian club took over the fran: chise yesterday afternoon and en tered the game with little or no practice. Coach 'White's Council Bluffs DID NOT WORK DAY FOR THREE YEARS, HE SAYS -Kansas City Man Gained Fif teen Pounds and Is On the Job Every Day Now. ' "Three years ago I had to give up my position, as my health was i .so bad. and I haven't been able to do a lick of work since until just f a few weeks ago," said George W. MeCraw, 1209 Grandam, Kansas City, Mo., while telling of the re i markable benefits he had derived from the use of Tanlac, recently. - "For eight years I have been in a , bad fix troubled with indigestion, rheumatism, nervousness, sleep lessness and a general run-down "j condition,", continued Mr.'McCraw. ' "I had practically lost my appetite and when fr'did eat a little some , thing it nearly always , disagreed with me and caused an awful amount of gas to form. Rheuma- , tism bothered me so bad I could hardly get about and my nerves were in a wretched condition. Bead le aches would come on me nearly every day and I would get so dizzy that I would fall over if I didn't . ; catch hold of something to support me. I was so restless and miser ! able at night that many a time it ; was two o'clock in the morning be- fore I got to sleep. M went down : - to one hundred fifteen pounds -in , ! weight and I was so weak I knew i I could not hold out much longer. -i "When I began taking Tanlac I - j had tried so many other medicines ; and got no relief that I had little ,; faith in it, but I want to tell you ' I .changed my mind right away, for r'l was feeling better before I fin- , ished my first bottle. And now it , i has completely restored me to health aad I have gained fifteen pounds J in weight. I can eat anything I s please without ever having a touch - of indigestion and I am enjoying Nmy meals. The rheumatism and i nervousness have entirely disap- peared and I am never bothered f- with headaches and dizzy spells any ' more. ' I go to sleep by the time I hit the beTand I sleep like a log ' all night long. I feel better and stronger than I have in eight years : and I have gone back to my work and never miss a day. I give all 1 the credit for my fine health to f Tanlac. and I don't believe it is pos ; sible for me to recommend it too highly." , .1 Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all Sherman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores, Harvard Pharmacy i and West End Pharmacy.

High school referves played the Western Union five off their feet. The Council Bluffs five looked bet ter than -any of the teams in the Commercial league and displayed plenty of pep and fight and they look like real pennant contenders.' The Western Union quintet lacked the team-work and their guarding was off. During the first half, Coach White's five registered 18 points to the telegraphers 4, and the final score was 23 to 5. - .

Coach Harold Mulligan has been on the sick list and has been unable to put the chaps through the reg ular grind. , Coach Joseph Schmidt of the Junior class squad has been taking Mulligan's place for thepast fw days. Arthur Paynter, whoNhas been at tendfng the Kemper sMilitary acad emy for the past semester, regis tered at the school last week for the coming semester. . This will give much added strength to the floor squad. Paynter is a tall chap and has an eagle eye for the loop. Cap tain Arthur Logan, -who also was the 'pilot last year, will be unable to play in Friday's game on account of an injured knee. rort Dodge will be on deck for the Saturday tusscl with Central. This team has had about the same amount of practice as has the local high. Many veterans appear on the Fort Dodge lineup for this season.

The South game will be called at the South gymnasium at 8 by Verne Moore, who will act in the capacity of referee. '.

The fact that the work was done, in a world's series game makes the performance stand out even. bit more than in a regular contest. Incidentally, it was made against the strong part of the Chicago batting order. Naturally, such a whirring stunt got all kinds of publicity. Nothing like it has ever been pulled, in a world series, but I was fortunate enough to um pire a gam': at Washington six or seven years ago, m which Walter Johnson showed one of the most e markable bits of pitching I have ever seen. Ths Detroit club was a hard hitting aggregation, having in its lineup four or five players-noted for Grand American Trap Meet To Be Held in Cleveland New York, Jan. 6.-t-The Granl American Handicap trap shooting tournament for 1920 was awarded to Cleveland, O., by' the American Trap Shooting: association. The tourna ment wilT be held in August at the Municipal park at Edgcwatcr. The date of the tournament will not be selected until after the an nouncement of the dates for the grand circuit races at Cleveland, to avoid a conflict. ' Two rules which were adopted defined an amateur as "any shooter jiot dependent upon his skill as a trap shot, as a means of a living, either directly or indirectly," and a professional as "any shooter who received his salary or any portion of his salary or any expenses of, any kind for use in trapshooting." To stimulate greater efficiency, the association adopted a "long run" plan by which shooters will receive gold, silver and bronze medals for points received in making consecu tive kills. , Coast Prices Go Up. San Francisco, Jan. 6. Admission prices to Pacific Coast league base ball games this year will follow the c6st of living in an upward march. The league directors at their annual meeting here decided "to . make the charges 70 cents for grand stand seats and 40 for the bleachers, war tax included thtW ability to keep from whiffing It was a dark dy, and Johnston had terrific speed, starting with the top of the batting order, he got seven in a row. It I remember correctly, Oscar Stanage, th-n batting eighth m the lineup, finally broke the spell. 1 Last summer I looked them over for Johnson in a game against the Philadelphia Athletics, in which he pulled a stunt tout of the ordinary. Perhaps you will sy nothing out of the or-linary could happen in a game in which th-. Athlet-cs were the con testing club, but tlr was a lot of batting strength on the Philadelphia club last year, despite its low posi tion in the race. 1 it is not out ot tne ordinary for a pitcher to get a team on strikes in an nmng,' aUhough there is much merit to such a 'feat. In the garre to which I refer John son struck out the side in one tn ning, but ir. a manner somewhat dif-i ferent. Koip, Thomas and Walker faced Tohnf.cn. HV threw just nine balls to those three batters, 'rur of them were called strikes, while at the five other deliveries the batter.-' took a iwing and missed. There was. not one bad ball in the nine, every one of them would- have been called a strike had the batter let it go by, incidentally they wie all fast balls, itot a curve was used by Walter to mow down (he three batters.

GUESSING PRICE PAID FOR RUTH IS INDOOR SPORT It Ml 1-11 No Official Notice Is Given Out, But Writers Esti mate From $125,000 To $150,000. New York, Jan. 6. The most popular indoor sport in f ew York today was guessing how much the New York Americans paid for Ceorge II. (Babe) RutlT, the home run monarch. The nearest approach to anything of an official nature was the smiling admission of -Colonel Jacob Ruppert, the Yankees' pres'i dent, that he understood an offer ol $100,000 for Ruth was refused last summer by Harry Frazee of 4he Boston club. Sporting writers esti mate the price paid from $125,000 to $150,000. ' Followers (5f the national pastinie recalled -that it was not so many years ago' the base ball world was staggered at the news that the New York Giants had purchased Rube Marquard for $11,000. Since then the sale of d;amond stars has mount ed even faster than the high cost ai living. Until the sale of Ruth yes terday, the record price was $50,000 and-two plnyers paid by Cleveland lor Tris Speaker and $50,000 by thj Chicago Americans for Eddie Col lins. In commenting on the purchase of Ruth, Colonel Ruppert said: "Thts is our answer to those who would like to drive us out of base ball. We entered into negotiations for the famous player 'in. pursuance of a definite policy to give the club's loyal following in New York an ag gressive, strong, well-balanced team."
