j Palmcro kept Wichita's five hits

wig of the Rourkcs, won the second
fame of the series from Wichita

; But for Reck, Wichita's first
sacker, the, visitors would have got
, len bu ti-o safe hits. Beck an
i ncxed a double the first time up and
I a single each of the two following
! times. Gregory pitched gooa ball
I for Wichita, allowing only five hits.
The Rourkes took the lead in the
third inning when Tat Mason, who
I was playing short in Maullin's place,
Jed off with a nice single Lingle
j tried to bunt and popped out to
, Gregory. Falmcro f lied out. Gis
l lason doubled along the third-base
line and Mason tallied. Weidell
grouned out.
The Witches tied the count in the
seventh. Weidell tried to field
Bearer's easy roller to Mason and
' fumbled it. Butler rolled on easy
one to J almcro, isergcr going to
second. Beck singled for his third
hit of the game, scoring Berger.
In their half of th seventh, how
cer, the Rourkcs stepped into the
lead again. Platte opened the in-
' niug by drawing a pass. Donica
flied out. Lelivclt sent a sizzling
1 drive over second. With Platte on
, third and Lelivclt on first, Lee
sailed a pretty single into left field,
i scoring Platte. Mason hit into a
double play. Omaha will meet
' Wichita this afternoon of the pres
ent home stretch. Tomorrow they

PLAN CAMPAIGN
TO FLOAT POLISH
LOAN IN AMERICA
Drive to Dispose of $50,000,
000 in Bonds to Begin Satur
day, May 22.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, May 17. The na
tionwide campaign for the flotation
in the United States of the $50,000,
000 .Polish government loan will
start Saturday, May 22, and will be
successful and completed in a com
paratively short space of time, ac
cording to information received at
the national loan headquarters,
Washington. The campaign ex
pects to reach every available Pole
or Polish-American in this country,
of whom there are about 3,000,000, as
well as Americans interested in the
rebuilding and stability of the re
public of Poland..
, The entire proceeds from the sale
of bonds, which mature in 20 years
and draw 6 per. cent interest, will
be expended in the United States for
American machinery, equipment and
raw material, all of which are great
ly needed in Poland in these days
of rehbilitation.
In order to become again a big ex
porter of textiles, Poland must se
cure raw materials for the immense
factories at Lodz and other centers
and part of the $50,000,000 loan will
be expended to satisfy this demand,
one that Europe cannot fill. Prior
to the outbreak of the war the terri
tory that is again Poland exported
large quantities of foodstuffs, but to
regain that vantage point, modern
agricultural machinery must be ob
tained for the farming element,
which is about 65 per .cent of the
total population of some 30,000,000.
The Galician oil fields, second in size
and output in Europe, must be fully
restored and modernized in order to
help fill the world's enormous de
mand for petroleum, no matter how
great the price.

death of noted
bo lljighter
Toreador Galiito Killed as He
Was About to Kill Fifth
Animal and Save
Comrade.
Madrid, May 17. The noted
toreador, Galiito, whose real name
was Joselito Gomez, was killed at
Place De Talavera. as he was about
o dispatch the fifth bull of the
evening.
Reports of the occurrence are
somewhat confused, but most of
agree that Gallitp lost his life when
he jumped into ' the . ring to save
another toreador, Sanchez Mejias,
who was in a dangerous situation
while fighting the bulls. The ani
mal turned furiously on the new
comer, caught him in the stomach
with his horns and tossed him.
Spectators See Accident
Although the spectators could see
their favorite injured, no one had an
idea, of the gravity of the occur
rence when Galiito w taken from
the ring to an infirmary, where
first aid was given. Doctors were
immediately telegraphed for from
Madrid. They arrived within a few
hours, but. too late.
A bull fight to be held in Madrid
in connection with King Alfonso's
birthday celebration was abandoned
because of Gallito's Meath. The lat
ter, who was 23 years old, had been
in the bull ring since he was 14.
Galiito was engaged to be married
and his fiance was present when
he was tossed by the bull. The
dead toreador was born in Seville
and leaves a fortune of 8,000,000
pesetas, earned in the bull ring.
Newspapers Publish Extras.
Place De Talavera was. an un
lucky spot for bull fighting. The
Picador Zurito also meeting death
in the same ring from the second
bull.
The killing of Galiito caused more
emotion in Spain than the death of
a monarch. The newspapers . of
Madrid printed news in sspecial
editions, thereby breaking . the rule
forbidding publication between Sun
day morning and Monday evening.
Thousands snatched the special
editions , from vendors, who . sold
them at high prices.
Galiito belonged t o a famous
family of bull fighters. His father
is a balleralo, while his eldest
brother is known in the bull ring
as El Gallio. The family is of pure
gypsy strain. Galiito was extremely
superstitious. His salary, for Sun
day was 10,000 pesetas.

SOT AW BATTERS
LOSE FAVOR OF
LEAGUE,PILOTS
Scouts Are Searching Bushes
For Right-Handed Hitters
Big Leagues Full of
Southpaw Batsmen.
By I. E. SANBORN..
Here's a tip to the rising genera
tion of base ball players Don't, un
der any consideration, learn to bat
left handed if you are naturally right
handed.
The major leagues have become
so left handed that there isn't a man
ager in cither circuit who has not
instructed his scouts to search the
bushes for right handed batsmen
and pay no attention to the other
kind unless they are unusually prom
ising. The process of converting profes
sional base ball to sout.pawism has
been going on for years. First there
was a big demand for players who
batted from the first base side of the
plate because they were hard for
right handed pitchers to pitch to and
also because they could get down to
first base faster than the men who
swatted from the third base side of
the pan.
Southpaws Lose Novelty.
This demand led to the conversion
(jf every youngster, who could ac
quire the knack, into a left handed
batsman. As their number increased
managers began to scour the land
for southpaw pitchers to cope with
the situation. For a while anything
that could get the ball over the plate
with its left wing was pretty sure of
a' tryout and a lot of them were able
to make good without any great
amount of skill or brains. Conse
quently all left handed kids began
practicing pitching.
The result was a steady increlse
in southpaw slabmen. (The supply
never has exceeded the demand by
as wide a margin as in other de
partments of the game. Still the day
has passed when any old left handed
pitcher can get by in the big league.
He has to have something besides
his eccentricity these days, but he
is in demand because so many teams
are left handed in the batsman's box.
Brings Up Old Question.
I have had a great many different
answers to the question why left
handed batsmen cannot cope with
left ha'nded pitching as well as right
handed batsmen can with right
handed pitching, hut few of them
were convincing. Years ago it was
reasonable to , suppose that south
paw pitching was more baffling , to
southpaw batsmen because there
were comparatively few pitchers of
that kind. The swatsmen were not
as accustomed to it as' to right
handed slabbing. But in recent years
the supply of southpaw hurling has
about equalled that of the northpaw
variety, so the batsmen are as ac
customed to one as the other.
The only plausible explanation is
that the great majority of right
handed batsmen today are batting
naturally, while the majority of the
other kind are swinging unnaturally.
A middle aged man who loses his
right hand can learn to write fairly
well with his left, but never as
fluently. The player who is nat
urally right handed and turns
around to bat never acquires the
same skill as he would have -developed
the other way.
Hoe or Rake for Test. .
Not all men who write or cat right
handed are born that way, however.
There are a great many- folks who

Sleepless Nights Caused by
When the dkin deems Ablaze
With Itching Pain.
When vour skin disease reaches
rils worst stage and the fiery burn
ing causes you to scratch and
scratch in an effort to obtain re
lief, there is many a sleepless night
in store for you.
It is nothing more than folly to
expect to be cured by the use of
local treatment, such as ointments,
salves, lotions, etc. Such remedies
may afford some temporary relief,
but you want more than relief; you
want a cure that will rid you for
ever of the torturing disorder.

cers, irritations and scalp erup
tions, as well as all other forms of
skin diseases, come from a disor

fairly well with the right hand3, just
as one can acquire a taste ior ouves,
or artichokes.
The lad who is naturally let
handed but has learned to writ
right handed can bat better left
handed, but he is the only kind that
ought to try it. If he is in doubt
let him take a hoe or a rake and go
out to clean tin - the back yard.
Whichever way he handles the hoe
or rake the more naturally will
prove which way he ought to bat.
It's the Batter, Not His Hands.
While, looking over the candidates
for a university team last spring, I
asked the coach if there were no
right handed batsmen on his squad.
The athletic director, who was
standing nearby, cut in with: 'We
try to teach all our good prospects
to bat left handed because they have
the advantage of two steps over the
right banders in getting . to first
base."
But what good is that, if a player
cannot hit the ball past the pitcher?
