8 ' THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 27, 1921. Buffaloes Usher in Western League Season hy Trouncing Oklahoma City , ; Si- Mayor Smith Pitches First Ball to Gamble Everett Buckingham Swings at His Honor's Offering, But Hits Nothing But The Wind. Dick Breen's Westerners received an unexpected setback yesterday afternoon at the Omaha league park, when Barney Burch's formidable Buffaloes trounced the Oklahoma City entry in the flag chase by the score of 9 to 5. Amid the cheers of one of the larg est crowds that has ever attended an opening contest here, the Buffaloes and Sooners Rot off to a fast start soon after Mayor Ed P. Smith donned an Omaha cap and heaved the first ball. The city's ckief executive was in rare form as the sphere went directly over the plate. Everett Buckingham, president of the Board of Governors of , the Ak-Sar-Ben, made a wicked swing at the mayor's offering, hut he hit nothing but the wind. All of which pleased the grandstand as well as his honor. John W. Gamble of the Chamber of Commerce turned out to be the "masked marvel" behind the bat. He tried to stop the mayor's delivery, but the horschide traveled at such a ter rific rate of speed that the Chamber of Commerce executive decided to step to one side and permit the sphere to continue on its course. Frcvious to Mayor Smith's appcar - ance on the field, members ot both ' teams, led by Gladys Peters, Queen of Ak-Sar-Ben, John W. Gamble and Everett Buckingham, marched around the park, pulling behind them a float on which was a giant rooster. Barney Burch, president of the Omaha Buffaloes, was perched atop the rooster and seemed content to let his teammates and opponents pull him around the diamond. Fastened to the dome of the giant roster was a pennant which read: "The Top Perch is Ours," meaning, of course, that the Omaha club will be nesting at the head of the per centage column at the close of the season.

PurmwTUE NEXT To the Misled Readers: What good is a pair of suspenders without buttons? Would we have heard of Gink Fowler if it hadn't been for his sparring partner? This man was none other than Tubby Black, who was chummier than a mad wolf. He challenged Gink to a summer fight, winter take all. The Kaiser saw this scuttle and it gave him the idea for the World War. Gink started out like a red hot furnace. Tubby soon turned his dust damper down, put out the fire and tho janitor wheeled away Gink's ashes. Yours until Gabriel pumps away at that slide trombone, JOHN FREESE, Omaha. This nonsense gets more serious every day. The champion of Rough town had no sparring partner. He used to punch mountains and im prove his footwork by sparring with the cornerstones of buildings. He pulled in the Atlantic cable one day and skipped rope with it. He got real mad when he found the engineer of the Routhtown R. R. using his dinner plate as a turntable for locomotives. Home Game of Hoerner Elected Central Captain j Takes - Place of Meston Is Star Track and Basket Ball Player. Lisle (Squink) Hoerner, sensa tional high school center, was elected captain of the 1921 Central High school foot ball team, according to an announcement by Coach Harold R. Mulligan. Hoerner has played on the team for two years, filling in as guard his first year. He played an excellent game at center last season, being the mainstay of the Central line. He was chosen to succeed Captain elect Beryl Meston, who has moved to St. Louis. Hoerner is in the senior class. He will be graduated next February. Foot ball is not his only game, for Hoerner is a star weight and distance man on the track squad. He has played class basket ball, arid was a member of the De Molay basket ball quintet last season. Harsch and Stephens Win Games in State Three-Cushion Meet Two more games w-ere reeled off in the state three cushion billiard tournament being staged at the Acad emy parlors yesterday when Heinic Harsch trimmed Charlie scnneii, to 35 in the afternoon's match, and Ralph Stephens defeated "Bob" Wil liams in the evening's contest, 35 to 21. - . "Ken" Sciple and Charlie Schnell meet this afternoon, while Albert Cahn and "Billie" Usher play tonight Gl n 1 1 . aser reieasea 10 Sioux City Packers Norman Glaser, one of the hurlers on the Omaha club of the Western league, got the gate yesterday. Sec retary Mike Finn of the team re leased the Virginia league pitcher to the Sioux City Packers.. NE He never jumped at conclusions. He considered work a conclusion. Therefore, he never jumped at a job. He was supported by the interest of his numerous investments in Rough town inventions. Spotless dice vere invented in Routhtown. Runglcss ladders, noodleless soup and eggless omelets were also spangled ideas of that town's genius. Tubby Black was just a backdoor hokey. Pie on the window sill was his idea of a formal dinner. He could fight in a smooth, city way. But smoothness never got you any thing in Roughtown. , If a boy came to school with a muddy complexion the teacher would send him home to have his face sandpapered. Every thing was rough. Gink only made one swish at Tub by and he folded up like a trick to-. bacco pouch. He lasted about as long as a good resolution. Just like a moonbeam on a jumping frog's back. Roughtown was the Marne of many a fighting man, but Tubby went quicker than a mushroom arrives. He was as wide open as a secret on a postal card. Gink saved enough money on that fight to ride half way home, Season BaseBallResulis enaStandinJ x WESTERN' LEAGUE W. L. Pet. W. Tulsa .81 .POOjOMAIIA 4 Wlrlitu S 3 .727lres Ali-ln.
