Moon played a good game of pock et billiards from the first inning un til the 100 markers were chalked up "after his name. - His ability to send the various colored) balls sailing round on the green cloth until they found a pocket in which to fall was one of the features of his play. Moon generally left his opponent few op- 1 enings. The winner of the first game Started with a run of 24 and then played safe, scoring a run of 28 dur ing his third inning at the table. His high run of 28, two safeties and-runs of 10 and 26 gave him almost a continuous run of 8, a feat consider ed deserving of credit in 14-4 rack nool.

An in vitation to the Yale polo team to iy at West Point late this month has been extended by Col. Lewis Brown, manager of the West Toiut team Oppose Crap Games Among , BallPlayers Rickey, Gleason and Cubs' Boss Clamp Lid Down on Poker Chips and "Gallop ing Dominoes.' i C'liioHito Tribune-Omaha Bee eased Wire. h "Chicago, Jan. 5. Loyalty and dis- cipline, known in army life, as morale, will be tin important factor in.-base ball during the season of 1921, if one may judge' by advance statements of club owners and man agers. Both the manager of the Cubs and Manager Gleason of the White Sox, have openly ; declared against crap games,, poker sessions for .big stakes, and .'other forms of gambling; 'which not only tend to take the players' minds toff base ball, but cause' them to break the rule against late hdurs. s r Branch Rickey, boss of the Cardi nals, always has opposed gambling in his club, and is said, to have laid down a strict rule prohibiting it in atiy form next season. .Miller Hug gins, leader of the Yankees, is an other who has declared himself, and it is known that many other major league bosses are of the same mind. Until last season gambling for large stakes was seldom seen among the White Sox, players and it was noted, that no big gambling was done at any time by . those members who came through the crisis with clean records. An incident of lat; sum mer will illustrate: ' Traveling east in July, the players were in .a parlor car, and Manager Gleason wasn't present, having gone on art earlier train. One of the party innocently displayed a pair of dice, another, one of the squad, remarked that he would shoot just once, for a dime. In a jiffy a crap game was stasted. , The innocent fellows beat it at once, and the stakes' jumped from a dime to a dollar and then to $5 and on up, until as much as $40 lay on the carpet' for a single roll of the ivories. The fellows who were shooting for the big stakes are among those indicted by, the Cook county grand jury. y I . Because of the probable oresence of many young and ambitious ptay erson both Chicauo teams, it seems 1 likely that the managers may be able to develop a high morale.

Several of the Americans who came into residence at Oxford last October have made a place for themselves in athletics. Alfred K. Reese of . Nebraskal now at Lincoln college, Qxford, won the shotput in the inter-college fall meet, with F. K. Brown of Washington, at Exeter, a strong second. Three Americans were scmirinalists in tne . university freshmen tennis tournament, R. W. Shaw of New York, at Lincoln col lege; J. M. Clarke of Pennsylvania, at Exeter college, and A. K. Davis of Virginia, at Balliof. Davis beat Clarke in a very close match.' the set scores being 9-11, 7-5, 6-2. Both play a 'hard back-court game, with very little to choos be tween them as .to ground strokes. Davis has a little the edge on court tactics, but both are potential ma terial ; for the: Oxford univcrsiy team. Davis was defeated in the fin its by Hall," two sets to one, after a ycry hard match. i Minnesota Guard, Down in l i Studies, Leaves School Minneapolis, Jan. S.

V7ELD0N 1 i' Kansas City Woman Thought Case Hopeless Tanlac Restores Health.' "I suffered until I thought I never would be well again, but Tanlac has built me up 15 pounds in weight and got me to feeling just fine," declared Mrs. Hattie May Weldon, 623 South Eighth street, Kansas City, Kan., re cently. "I just want to tell everybody about what Tanlac has done for me. Why, at the time I began taking the medicine I had been in such a poor state of health for two years that I was constantly having to stay in bed for weeks at a time, and when I wasn't in. bed , I was hardly able to creep around. Everything I ate soured in my stomach and formed gas which pressed up into my chest so bad I could hardly get my breath. I finally lost my appetite completely, and got to where I seemed to have no energy at all.. I couldn't sleep at night, would just roll and tosa the hours through, and mornings I felt so tired I couldn't do my housework. My head ached terribly and I often got so dizzy I couldn't stoop over wuriuui iainng. t. limes DiaCK spots came before my eyes and I couldn't see. I had pains all through my body and always had to be tak ing something for constipation. . Well, I kept reading about Tan lac in the paper and, although I had little idea it would help me, I finally decided to try 'it as a last resort. You can imagine my surprise when after taking nearly a half bottle I found my appetite coming back to me. . When 1 finished that bottle. I got another, and then another.' and kept right on taking it until now I don't feel like the same person. I am eating just anything I want without suffering the least hit after ward and all my strength and energy has come back to me. All the pains have disappeared from my body, I sleeo like a child every night and am doing my housework without the least trouble. I only hope my state ment may lead others to try Tanlac, for it is the grandest -medicine in the world, and I wouldn t think of bemg without it, even if the price was 10 times what it is." i Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all Sherman & McConnelJ Drug Com pany s stores. Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy. Also in south Omaha and Benson Phar macy, Benson; ueorge Mert, Flor ence, Neb.; Saratoga Pharmacy, 24th and Ames.

S Laborer Coal Fmblem In 1915 a bricklayer was earning 75c an hour was given an increase This gave him a wage of $1.25 an hour; $4 a day more than he was receiving in 1915. An increase of 66 per cent. But he needed it! The price of street car transportation for his family had increased 25 per cent. The cost of maintaining a home had almost doubled. , , . The price of coal increased by leaps and bounds. Taxes increased. ' The cost of everything he touched increased in price. .... u We have the Same m to meet We had to pay similar increases to our help as was received by the bricklayer. Our labor costs increased one and one-half times between 1915 and 1920. We had' to meet the increases askea in order to keep up our serv ice to our customers arid to provide a living wage for our family of 450 employes. Taxes . Our tax rate in 1920 was one and two-thirds that of the 1915 rate. This is a big item in our expenses and we have no alterna tive but to pay the taxes levied. oa It cost us $7.73 a ton for coal. In 1915 a ton of the same coal cost $2.78. Freight alone on a ton of coal is now $2.96, which is more than the price of the coai plus the freight in 1915. Coal is the greatest item of our expenses. More than $1,000,000, or about one-third of our total earn-' ings, was spent for this one commodity. So we were compelled to ask an increase Our petition The increase asked We petitioned the, city council for a maximum increase in iates of only ' 2 cents per kilowatt hour because we were compelled to do it. We had to either ask for the increase orper- ; mit our properties to "run down." The income we are receiving is not enough to pay our manufacturing , costs; to replace vorn-out machinery, and to pay us a fair return on a fair value of our property. Less than 1 per cent has been received on the last five million dollars spent by us in ex tending our service to the people of Omaha. Continued satisfactory service v in your home and the growth of Omaha demands that our properties be kept in first class, tip-top condition. Isn't that fair? The increase we ask adds only 2 cents to our present rate one of the lowest in Amer ica which would give us the same rate we received in 1916. 'You' cannot operate your home on the in come you received in 1915. Can you? ,, In 1915 we were receiving a rate of 8 cents, but in 1917, on figures based on 1915 costs, our rates were decreased. The Gas Company, officially and "unof ficially," made five increases during the past year as follows: The general increase on each 1,000 cubic, feet, used. The service charges. Thay pay no taxes. Their taxes were elim inated; ours were increased. The pressure of the gas has been lowered, giving the consumer less gas for his money. It takes the housewife longer to cook with gas than it used to because the heating ability has been decreased. ' Our increase will add only SO cents a month to the average residential bill, which is much less-than the increase made to the public in any other commodity. i Nebraska Power Company Speaking of Service We stand, unafraid, to state that our service ranks with the best in the United States. This is a bold statement, but it also goes as a challenge. If letters of thanks are an indication, our customers are aware of our excellent, instant service. But itshould be evi dent also that this good service can not long continue unless we have enough revenue to keep our proper ties in good, serviceable condition. I 7 7 i.
