That, however, 1s the bitter plll they had to swallow at Vinton park Thursday In the second game of the serfes with Wichita Wichita made the first rfin in the opener, but Omaha came back with one in the second and another In the third. Thus it stood with the score 2 to 1 in favor of the Rourke family until the fateful sev enth, when all hopes were shatterad Wentersil's two-sacker to the left fleld fence drove In the run that tied the score and then Captaln Franck let an easy grounder pask betwsen his legs and the winning run was scored,” Three more were added for good measure by Wichita in the last inning. Wichita has made a hit with the Omaha fans, for Jack Holland, with the aid of | Tzzy Isbely 'has. collected & bunch of youngsters wiho play ball all the time. They are full of ginger and always right after the ball. That tney are always poking is out is shown by the score which raveals the fact (hat the ten men who were retired were put out on balls hit a good lick by the willow Tracy Johns was on the hill for Pa and he daid right well until the seventh Inning, when a hit and an error seemed to dis- commode him. A single and a double down the third base line were made off his de- livery in the first inning, and then for five innings the Hoflanders could not con- nect safely for & single hit. But the rest of the game was a ditferent stor Graham's Accident Serfous. A worse blow than losing the game be- fell the Rourke family when In practice before the game George Graham, the bril- llant second baseman, again threw his knee out of place. Friends of Graham have feared all along that his knee was not tully recovered from the bad wrench of last year, but he Insisted on playing and, although his knee has palned him at times, he had played in every game this year without Injury. There a slippery spot between second and first and on this Gra- ham slipped in practice ‘and threw the knee out. It Is feared tne accident may keep him out of the game the rest of the year, if not forever. His place was taken by King and Belden went to center Ag8in must the sad story of a lost game be told.

That) started Wichita off in the lead, but Omaha séored one in each the second and third and took the lead. Shaner did the slab work for Wichita and the first two men up were fanned by his benders, while Pendry knocked the ball to second. 1t began to look as though the game might be a repetition of the day be- fore, with Brennan in the box. In the second inning, however, Kane started out by arawing a pass. Welch sac- rificed him to second. Belden sent him on homer by @ two-sacker, The fans took cou and dared to hope Omaha might win. {They were sure the Rourkes would win after the second Inning when with one out Fisher doubled, went to third on King's single and scored on Pendry's sacrifice fly o Pennell. Hoth' pitchers now went like clockwork | untik the seventh when with one out Rob- erts was walked and scored on Westersil's double. That tied the score. The infield came in close and Weaver hit a hard drive which went through Buck Franck's | legs and the winning run was scored.

EACH TEAM HAS ONE RUN White Allows But One Hit in Last Ten Innings—Scores of Other Gamen In the American League. CHICAGO, May 13.~Chicago and Wash- Ington battled for seventeen innings today and the game was called on account of darkness with the score 1 to 1. White al- lowed only one hit in the last ten Innings. Manager Cantillon's tactics in the sev enteenth innings probably saved his team from defeat. The locals had men on sec- ond and third with one out. Manager Sul- livan then took himself out of the game and sent in Welday, a left-handed batter When Cantillon saw this move he sent Hughes, who was pitching, to right field and sent In Gray, a lefi-handed pitcher. Sulllvan countered by taking out Welday after Gray had pitched one ball to him Then Cantillon trled to withdraw Gray and send Hughes back againet Owens, a According to the new rule it was up to Gray to finish pitching to the man who was then patting or glve & pass. After some heated argument the umpires forced Gray to continue pitching to Owens. He did and passed him. Tanne- hill was the next man up and Hughes re- turned to the box, while Ganley went to right field. Tannehill hit to Hughes and Altizer was forced at the plate. White ended the chances with a grounder to Delenanty. Score: CHICAGO. HOAE 280 0pgowne, ef 0SWhipke, 3b .

NEW YORK., May 13—The lcng-deferred and anxious-awalited opening of the Metro- politan racing season, which was coupled this year with the running of the clas Metropolitan handicap, passed into turf history today with the winning at Bel- mont Park of the Blue Ribbhon avent of the occasion by 8. C. Hildreth's fleet 4- vear-old colt King James, from a fleld of eleven starters. Fayette, the Madden en- try, finished six lengths behind, with Ju gler, a 6-year-old gelding entered by C. C. Smithson, a close third. The conditions were weather and served to bring out a fash- fonable in which the gay colors worn by the women predominated. These, ainst the emerald green of the well- kept lawns and track inclosure, made a brilliant picture and Imparted a garden- party flavor to the occasion. In the grand- stand the attendance was considerably slimmer than on previous Metropolitan handleap days. The entire number aggre- gated less than 10,000, but in view of the ban placed on race track betting last year by the Hart-Agnew law, the falling off was not such as to create surprise. Oral Betting Permitted. The betting question looms large in the racing world and today's opening was awaited with much trepidation by thase followers of the sport who have been wont to lay wagers on the chances of the horses engaged. The net results of the day were that under materfally circumstances bet- ting of a sort is tolerated. The new form, however, is a travesty of the practice which flourfshed in previous years. Un- der cover of a decision of the appellate division, which permits oral betting, the layers of odds took up their stations on the concourse in front of the grandstand in whispers, and by nods accepted wagers and gave odds. The method was veiled in mystery, accompanied by searching glances and stealthy looks. If the would-be bettor was known to the bookmaker, his bet was accepted with a muttered “you're on.” No money was passed, the ‘“bookmaker’ trusted the bettor to search him out after the race and pay him the amount of his wager If he lost, and the bettor on his part trusted the “bookmaker” to look him up in the same fashion and give him his win- nings—if he won. Some of the layers of odds settied outside of the grounds after the last race, and others on the trains coming back, but most of them put off settlement until tomorrow morning, at ap- pointed headquarters In town. Easy Victory for King James, The race of the day, the Metropolitan handicap, was won In handy fashion, for King James led the field by six lengths. The eleven starters got off well, with the Hildreth entry quoted at & to 5 and 2 to 1, in the lead, closely followed by Nimbus, an added starter. At the far tarn King James forged to the front, and from then on the race was his. Fayette was well up all the way and finished second, nosing out Juggler, who finished a strong third. Favorites fared badly during the day, only two, King James and Newmarket, winning. The other winners, however, were well played. Agent, an added starter in the steeplechase and backed from fives to fours, defeated the 4 to 8 favorite, Sir Wooster, in a mild drive. The fleld, where thousands have assem- ideal In point of crowd, | bled In former years for a cheap admis- wion, was closed today and this was one of the noticeable omissions of the usual race track features Racing will be resumed at Belmont park on Saturday, for it has been planned by the Jockey club to have racing on only three days of each week, Tuesday, Thurs- day and Saturday, until the public shows by its attendance that more racing days are desired.

LAST YEAR'S RECORD IN DANGER om Athlctes Cof Do Better Than Thirtee - t They Can n 1008, When h Place Was Allote t at End, With high hope of doing mAny times better this vear than last at the state high school track and field meet, ten con- testants and forty or fifty rooters will leave Omaha this morning at 8:16 o'clock to attend the contest at Lincoln. At the meet last year the Omaha con- tingent won fourth place—from the last— or, in other words, 1t tralled in for thir teenth place, with hait a dozen dinky #chools out in the sand hilis beating it to a fraszle. This time the show will be a better one from the Gate City standpoint, and if expectations, determination and skill count, Omaha will rank high. How- ever, with Lincoin's strength and that of several other schools, the locals are not hoping to carry off first honors. Two men from each school will enter in each event, and the Omeha lads are taking a8 many as the rules allow. The team is made up as follows and will enter ih the events indicated Captain Ralph Weirick—-100-yard and 20- ard dashes, M-yard hurdles and pole vault. Bob Thompson—12-yard hurdles, high Jump, pole veult, stot, discus and hammer Bob Wood—i00-yard and 2-yard dash broad jump. V. Warner—440-yard desh, broad and higl | Jumpe. Harry Kulakofsky—Mile runs. H. run Alfred Kennedy—~Mile run. Ed Burdick—8hot and discus. H. Andrus—Hammer. Benson Rowley-2%-yard hurdles. Half-mile relay team: Rowley, Warner, Weod and Weirick. end half-mile Fraser—440-yard dash and half-mile Some of the Stars. Among the Omaha contestants who are expected to take places are Burdick in the shot put, Thompeon in the high hurdles, Wood and Welrick in the dashes, Weirick in the low hurdles, Andrus in the hammer throw, Kennedy in the mile run, and the relay team In their race. Burdick is doing over forty feet in with the lead ball, In spite of the fact that he was in a hospital for leg trouble not long ag> Long Bob Thompson has developed some wonderful form in lifting those pedal extremities of his over the hurdles. As Welrick and Wood both pressed the win- lley interscholastic meet for places in the dashes, they are thought to be in the way of bringing home a few ribbons from Lincoln, especially théy have improved since the last races. Andrus has improved with his hammer tossing and has broken the local record, while Al Kennedy is sure of giving Cham- pion Wright of Kearney a good run in the mile. Fine form in almost all cases has been developed since working out was given awhile ago. With some good work at the ftate meet Friday and some further prace tice, the locals expect to do big things to Lincoln when the dual meet with the high school athletes of that city s held in Omaha, May 29, WINS GOLF cue of Vice President Defeats Former Am r Champlon Travi ON, May 13.—T.
