ROURKES VICTORS IN SLUGGING FRAY, Omaha Defeats Denver byx the Score of Ten to Eight. NORYH AND MERZ HURL, Denver, Colo, July 29.—(Special Telegram.)—President Frank C. Zeh- rung of the Western league was a vis- itro at Broadway park this afternoon and- witnessed Omaha wrest the first | game of the season from Denver by a score of 10 to 8. A light rain fell dur- ing the game which was finished | under difficulty on a wet ground. Omaha scored twice in the first inning through the kindness of Messrs. Smith and Thompson, while Denver couldn’'t get a man past sec- ond. The second 'was fine medicine for both sides. Kilduff walked and scored on Burg's triple to left center, and then Smith sent the pill over the ight center fence for a homer, scor- ing Burg ahead. Diner and Shields scored for Denver, and Kelleher and Butcher each managed to jar the home plate in the third. In the fourth neither side scored and in the fifth Omaha retired quickly when Marshall and Forsythe flied out and Kilduff fanned. North pitched for Omaha in the last half of this inning, which netted two more for Denver. In the seventh Omaha annexed three. Miller knocked a homer through center field gate, scoring Thompson ahead of him and Mar- , shall made the home plate from sec- ond on Burg’s single to center. Smith and Krug each scored in the eighth, Smith and Miller’s triple to center being the feature of that frame, Den- ver scored two in the last frame.

( Willie Heston Wins Fat : A Man’s Race at Detroit Detroit, July 29.—Scores of De- troiters who followed the fortune of Michigan's great foot ball teams of a decade ago witnessed a thrilling sight here recently. A local busi- ness men's association had a picnic. The most interesting event on th‘c athletic program was a fat man’s race. There were several entries. At the crack of the pistol a curly haired giant took the lead and, tearing over the ground with great lunging strides, flashed across the finish line— winner. Many spectators, graduates of the University of Michigan, recog- nized the ‘sprinter, and cheered them- sclves hoarse. The man was Willie Heston, whom Coach ~Yost asserts was the greatest player that ever stepped on a western gridiron.

Thirty were present and shop talk the program, W'El:fil E;ghter With Change Than ~ Even Tom Sharkey They used to kid Tom Sharkey about being close fisted because he would not spend any of his hard earned cash, but Sharkey is not a marker to the big boy from Kansas, Jess Willard, for being a money saver. Willard pays his honest debts, but the remainder of his coin goes in a bank. It is said by friends who know his habits well that he has the first dol- lar he ever earned as a fighter. By his thrift Willard has earned the honor of being the richest fighter in the heavyweight class before the pub- lic today. Most of his wealth is in cold cash. An intimate friend .says that Willard's fortune is not a penny less than $200,000. His nearest rival is Jim Jeffries, who is a land owner in California. Strange as it may seem, poor Tom Sharkey falls away below his reputed wealth. He has enough to live com- fortably on and that’s about all. Many of the boys who were thought to have a nice little nest egg put away are practically without funds. In fact, dozens of the pugilists who have been rated as the best off are really down and out.

WANT JULY 4 DATE NEXT There will not be any automobile race in Omaha during the Ak-Sare | Ben festival. | When the Omaha Auto Speedway company obtained its 1916 sanctions last fall, it applied for sanctions for | July 15 and October 4, which will be | the date of the Ak-Sar-Ben electrical parade. It was originally planned to make the Ak-Sar-Ben event the big race meet of the year here. Buf sanctions have already been |issued to eastern tracks for dates in close proximity to October 4. New York will hold the Astor cup race on September 30. Providence will hold a 100-mile race on October 4, and Philadelphia has a sanction for Oc- tober 15, \ Thus it would be necessary for Omaha to compete with Providence | for drivers, and it would also be nec- essary to induct the drivers to make a hurried jump from New York and then back to' Philadelphia in order to hold a race at all, - Undoubtedly Omaha could sign up a good field of drvers, After the race guly 15, Resta, Der Palma, Ricken- acher, Mulford, Chandler, Dusen- berg and the other prominent racers said they would come out. But the speedway officials decided not to make the attempt because of the short time, which would not give room for emergencies and a repeti- tion of 1915 is possible. So it was decided to call the event off. After July 4 Date. Omaha will strive for a sanction for July 4 for 191. A meeting of the board of directers of the. speed- way was held last week and an appli= cation for July 4 will be made even at this early date. It is believed Omaha will have no trouble in procuring this date, This year Minneapolis and Sioux City competed with Omaha for this date and Omaha slegped out for “safety first” reasons. But both Minneapolis and Sioux City “fivvered” badly this year. Minneapolis, it is believed, will have to go bankrupt, and Sioux City, it is thought, is entirely through, be- cause the drivers will not go there next year, Thus Omaha should have a clear field for July 4. July 4 will be a bet- ter date than July 15, because it is a holiday and all business will be sus- pended that day. The race would be the only attraction in town. Resta in Lead. The contest board of the American Automobile association has issued the following announcement of the stand. ing of the drivers in the race for the title of 1916 champion automobile race driver.
