Eighth Game of Chess
Championship Tourney
Ends in Another Draw
, Havana, Aprit 6.--The eighth
game of the international chess
game between Emanuel Lasker and
Jose R. Capablanca was declared a
draw Tuesday. There were no moves
made in addition to those of Sunday
night in the first half of the game,
which was adjourned after 30 moves.
When the masters sat down to
night to resume play in the second
half of, the match, Capablanca said:
"Well," Doctor, I have carefully
analyzed the game and find that
neither of us can win. We probably
shall save a lot of work and mental
energy by calling it a draw."
Dr. Lasker replied he had no ob
jection to calling the contest a draw,
as he likewise carefully had studied
the positions and was of the same
opinion as Capablanc'e.
Play in the ninth game will com
mence tomorrow night at the Cas

MAHA Elks will not stage
another athletic carnival the
latter part of this month, ac
cording to an announcement m(c
last night by a member of the ath
letic committee.
The local lodge increased its
banking account by $5,000 as a re
sult of the last show. t
Instead of a boxing carnival
the Omaha "Bills" have arranged
for an indoor circus attraction
to be held at the Municipal au

The ruling made by Judge Lan
dis last week that hcliad no juris
diction to act on the appeal of a
minor -league base ball player for
reinstatement, established a' de
rision that will have a far-reaching
effect.
The case that resulted in Judge
I.andis' ruling was that of L. N.
Longe, now on the ineligible list
of the Kansas City Blues, who
was denied reinstatement by tlu
National Board of Minor League
association and appealed to Judge
Landis. Longe, it is said, attempt
ed to "retire" from organized base
ball to accept a proposition from
an "outlaw" clnb.
Several players in the Western
league jumped their contracts last
season and are now in the same
"boat."
Tommy Gibbons, St. Paul scrap
per, is getting rough. Considered
the fanciest of "fancy boxers"
among the heavyweights, the
Younger Phantom has been bow
ling 'em over like tenpins in re
cent bouts. Paul Sampson, the.
New York heavyweight, who was
saved by the referee after Tommy
had punished him severely for two
rounds, hasn't been mentioned as a
peril to Jack Dempsey's reign, but
he is just one more big fellow
added to Gibbon's string of vic
tims. The younger Gibbons is fast
approaching the pinnacle his il
lustrious brother, Mike, held so
long and is slowly but surely con
vincing fistic fandom that he is
Dempsey's logical opponent.
Another wrestler has crossed
the herring pond in the person of
Yousiff Mahniout: The fact of the
matter, stranger, is that Mahmout
is not a newcomer to the shores of
me united Mates.
Mahmout left this country in
1912 for Bulgaria, where he was
impressed into the army of that
country. Bulgaria was defeated
in the Balkan Wars by Rotiniania
and during those hard-fought
battles Mahniout was twice re
ported, dead.
Now he is back in the United
States and has in mind American
citizenship, and expects to send
for his family and establish his
home here. -
Mahmout claims . the heavy
weight wrestling championship, in
spite of the fact that "Strangler"
Ed Lewis is recognized the champ
by the fans. The foreigner's claim
to the title is based upon Frank
Gotch's retirement from the game
and the presentation of his crown
to the Turk. . .
Emil Klank has Mahmout in
charge and expects to get the big
fellow into condition soon for mat
tussles. Klank handled Gotch and
Mahmout years ago.
Jake Schaefer and Welker Coch
ran's victories over Edouard Hore
mans, the Belgian billiard cham
pion, must have been a sad blow
to the aspirations of the visitor
from across the ocean. There is
little doubt but that he confidently
expected to take both of these
cue-wielders into camp and by so
doing force Willie Hoppe into a
championship match.
Meeting Schaefer and Cochran
was part of Horcmans' campaign
be had worked out in the hope of
meeting the billiard champion.
Had the .Belgian been able to de
feat both Schaefer and Cochran,
who rank next to Hoppe, it would
not have been long before Hoppe
would have been forced to meet
the Belgian.
The release of Catcher Floyd
Brown from the Buffalo camp
leaves the job. of backstop for the
Omaha base ball club between
Stapleton and Cy Lingle. Right
now it is practically certain that
Lingle wiH do the bulk of the re
ceiving with "Stap" hanging
around for emergenecy cases.
Lingle while not an extra good
hitter, is a fairly good backstop,
and with the experience collected
last season as catcher for "Pa"
Rourke he should prove even
more valuable to the team this
year.
Rain and cold greatly inter
fered with the training of the
Buffaloes while they were at Fort
Smith. The team Lelivelt guided
against Fort Smith was a different
one from that which dropped
three games to Joplin during the
early part of the training season.
Charlie Trimble, secretary of
the Ak-Sar-Bcn exposition com
pany, is a happy bird. Just now
Charlie is ehirping about the run
ning meet which is scheduled for
Omaha June- 2 to 10, inclusive.
"The best gallopers of the coun
try will kick up thc dust out at
our new track," said 'Charlie yes
terday. "I expect more" than 300
head of horses to compete for the
large purses."
On the clay following the close
of the running races, the automo
bile speed demons will try to
.lower the dirt track records.

HOW TO PLAY SHORTSTOP.
By Walter Maranville
(Of Pittsburgh Pirates.)
(Copyright, 1911. by King Features Pyn
tlicaU Ini'J.
The job of shortstopping in tech
nical execution doesn't differ greatly
from that of second base. For the
shortstop must cover second almost
as often as docs the regular key
stone guardian. He must play for
batters in much the same way as
docs the second baseman. ' He
shifts a little toward the bag for a
left handed bitter and plays regu
lar position when a right, handed
hitter is up.
Inasmuch as Eddie Collins, one
cf the greatest second basemen that
ever lived, already has told how the
job of second should be played, so
far as the "inside" stuff 'is concerned.-
I'm going to pass up
handing tips on the job itself and
devote this article to telling the
youngsters on the points of proper
fielding.
Whenever a fly ball is hit, and
you set sail after it, aim to receive
it while you are in position to
throw the ball to any base where a
throw should be made. That's a. bit
of- advice to keep in mind always
because by following it you'll be
w ell on your way to success. ' '
Two Ways to Catch.
. You can receive a fly ball in two
different ways. One is to cup the
hands, holding them near to the
belt and let the ball drop in. The
other way is to reach up with your
hands, holding them in the shape of
"V" near to your chest; either way
is good. Try out both ways for a
while and decide which is the easiest
and surest way for you to make a
catch. Atter you have decided,
stick to that decision and make all
the catches that way afterward, ex
cept, of course, in cases of extreme
emergency when you must make a
stab catch.
I use the cupped fashion for two
reason;-!. Cne is that it is most nat
ural for me.' The second is that bv
making the catch in cupped fafhion
I am in far better position to make
a throw than when the "V" style of
catching is used.
When you catch a ball in the "V"
way .you've got to lower your arms
and twist your fingers around the
balj before you can make the. throw.
That means a loss of time. When
you make a cupped catch you close
your fingers even as you swing the
arm to inake the throw. ' In view of
the fact that a fraction of a second
often makes the difference bctwen
a putout for you of a hit for the
enemy, you can realize that speed in
getting the ball away is vital.
Concerning . grounders: Never
back away from a grounder. Go in
for it whenever you can, - Don't try
to take it standing still. Get. into
motion, for when you are in motion
you can make a faster, snappier
throw to the base. Keep in mind
that you must play the ball. .And

A-
yon can t i lay
: lauding still or by
backing away.
Go After Ball Fast.
Don't rush in pell-mell for the
drive. Go in after the ball fast, of
course, but be sure you have perfect
balance. Whenever possible, go
after that ball from such an angle
so that when you get it you'll be
facing the place where you want to
make the throw.
Take the ball on the short bound
never on the long jump unless it is
absolutely necessary. Thos; long
bounders are tricky and may jump
over your head or sideways . You
can't trust 'cm. So make tbe play on
the short bound. It's always best,
when fielding bounders, to let the
ball be ?imcd at the leg that is
farthest back. When in sue!; a po
sition you'll find it easier o make
the short bound plays and you'll
certainly find it easier to make the
throws.
The usual method ot shortsto;
throwing is overhand. That's the
natural one. , But sometimes the
play will come so fast that yon
won't have time to throw overhand
you'll have to throw sidearm or
underhand. So you must learn, by
constant practise, to throw ac
curately in all those ways.
Accuracy in throwing can be ac
quired by trying to put the bail into
the other baseman's hands all the
time in the same place. I usually
shoot 'em all at their belts. Some
of the boys try to hit the' baseman's
chest, while others aiiyi for his knees
or for the cap. It's up to you as to
where you want to aim. But decide
what your target will be and then
always throw for that portion of the
Laseman's anatomy.
Don't Wait.
Don't wait - before tbe ball is
actually bit before you get into mo
tion. When the pitch is made, get
oji your toes, ready and eager to g
out and meet the ball.- Be up aod;
doing all the time.
Watch your pitcher, -closely.
Watch your catcher signal to the j
pitcher. 1 lien you II know wnat
sort of pitch is going to be made.
The kind of ball the pitcher throws
fast or slow, an in-curve or a wide
out. or a drop often tips you off as
to just where the batter is going to
drive that ball. .
As a, final' tip, I just want to
repeat:
Play the ball never back away
from it
