lcini' toe enabled North High to
defeat Omaha Central Saturday
at Western League base ball park
by a acore of 7 to 6, in a well-played
game, in which the rival teams were
evenly matched. Both teams scored
iu the initial quarter, the Nebratkans
being the first to put the oval over
the last chalk mark shortly after the
kickoft.
Beerkle. the visitors' auarterback,
failed to boot the pigskin over tnc
cross bar following the score, ' o
when North High carried the ball
over the Purple goal line a few nun
utes later and Watkins lifted the
pill over,, it proved the one point
necessary to decide the outcome of
the battle. '
.Fredericks, the locals' J. Jullbac':,
was the outstanding star of the
game1. The grecn-jerseyed back ran
troin punt and regular formation
time and again for gains and out-
kicked Beerkle, who was doing Uc

tion. . -
,' Beerkle and Hoerner starred for
the visitors by their work. Beerkle
scored the Purples' touchdown and
besides kicking many good punts,

Columbus Rotary
47- Club Loses to Lions
Columbus. Neb., Oct. 23. (Spe
cial.)The Rotary club permitted the
Lions to take the first bowling game
of the season at the Rex club Fri
day night. That is the version of the
eminent authority, Dr. Rhode, who
added that it was just done for this
once, and that they would not
humor the Lion cubs in future games.
Told the Lions to eat more raw meat
as they would need strength for the
balance of the season. J ,.
The score: Lions, 2,299: Rotaries,
2.175. " - '
It was true that the Rotaries, had
the best of it up to the sixth frame,
the Lions . making good in the last
iouri Baker of the Li6ns rolled the
highest with .521. : Dr. . Rhodq.. to
prove that he 'wished to be lenient
with the young cubs, let them down
easy by rolling but 891 as his contri

The 109 years weigh so lightly on
his shoulders that Dr. Bostock him
self seriously . remarks that he ex
pects to attend foot ball games and
visit around in the state for the next
few years. Dr. Bostock's heart is
sound,- doctors pronounce, - rheuma
tism has passed him, he has never
worn glasses, has smoked since he
was 10 years' old, and to this dar, to
quote the .doctor, "he ha never had

his greatest pUasure hiking."
He occasionally uses a stick, but,
he usually picks ft up on bis rambles.

Some : Men Give Best Years

Some iucri give the best years of
their lives In vainly endeavoring to
own a real race horse; others squan

without achieving the goal of their
ambition. Where one man succeeds
scores fail, and few, indeed, of the
thousands of men. who pay the feed
bills for the thoroughbreds on the
North American funning turf ever
even hope to reach that pinnacle of
success enjoyed by such lucky men
as H. H. Hewitt; and CoL E. R.

by the score of U to 8.
From West
One of "Big Three"
three attempts. Milton Romney then
stepped back and booted the oval
between the posts from the 15-yard
line. It was a beautiful kick which
sailed high over the bar.
The Maroons nursed this margin.
In the third quarter Princeton had
advantage of the wind and played
a kicking game, which kept Chicago
on the defense to keep its goal line
uncrossed. As soon as conditions
were reversed in the final quarter
Chicago, with the help of the wind on
exchange of kicks, took the ball to
the Tigers' 17-yard; line. '. .,
Again the Princeton defense stif-.
fened and on two plays Chicago
made only three yards. Quarterback
Romney then called for a spread
formation. With the ends going out
wide and halfbacks playing in be
hind their tackles, the ball was passed
to Bobbie Cole. The little halfback
faked a run and then tossed the oval
to Romney, who scampered over the
goal line for the touchdown. Mc
Guire missed the gcal.
Captain Stanton . Keck, all-American
tackle, who is considered one of
the greatest tackles who ever played
in the east, was a total stranger to
the Maroon, team. His defensive
prowess did not perturb them a bit.

Nix, He remained on the coaching

while the game was delayed, waiting
for him, he strutted almost across
the field to the Yankee dugout, got

After- a time he decided upon a

seemed to. justify., -ir ,.
Prior to the playing of the final
series of the year with, the Athletics,
Ruth didn't go to the Quaker City
He was indisposed from some
cause or other. It was reported that
he was suffering from "flu;" that the
chances of his playing: in the world
series were slight. Great stress was
laid on the seriousness of his condi--
tion. ... .: --; ;-

After the third game of the world

Vila's reporters that his arm was in
such shape that "I positively cannot
play in the series again;" . Vila, tak
ing Ruth at-his word,' printed the
story made a 1 first-page ' sensation
out of it, as the statement of Ruth
deserved. And Ruth played in tho
very next game once again making
the newspapers which printed the
''out of series" story look foolish.
Ruth Gets Temperamental.
Vila, disgusted, wrote a squib iu
which he pointed out that Ruth's
statements about being crippled and
unable to play, etc., were to be
taken with a "grain of salt" And
Ruth got very, very, temperamental

he rushed to the press box in grand

Vila, in substance, told Ruth to
chase his fat self up and down a few
boulevards. Ruth threatened to do
some busting up. . Vila pointed out
to Ruth that nothing seemed to bu
halting him.
It was up to. Ruth to do some
thing. He did with words.
"I ll give you until tomorrow to
retract. It you don't I'll come right
around here to the press box ami

Vila, instead of retracting; printed
a few remarks about Ruth the next
day of what might be termed "un

showed up. Somebody probably
got hold of him meanwhile and
sprayed a lot of ice water tjpon his
fevered and swollen dome.v'
Ruth, at heart, is not a" bad kid.
But all the plaudits and the laurels
