———— GRIZZLY SLUGGERS | OUTBAT THE ROURKES Champions Weak on Attack| and Garner Only One Run | to Six for Bears. SHARP FIELDING ALL WAY Denver, Colo., 16.—(Special Telegram.)—The Rourkes, champions of the Western circuit for 1910, being men of straw on the attack yuxcrduy} afternoon, the slugging Bears had lit- tle difficulty in trimming them, 6 to 1. I'he contest was one of the: best staged in these parts in many an aft- ernoon. i Sharp fielding, together with many timely wallops on the part of the Sept locals efatured the frav. It was also « dandy day for the first baseman, the same gathering in thirty-three putous apiecc. Milton Reed, the plucky third sacker, and Hank Butch- the leading hitter in the les ( | i out three raps each in x#' irneys to the rubber. Marshall, Shiclds and Lloyd nicked Cecil ‘Thompson, one of the leaders’ best bets, for two clouts cachi in four trips. The visitors’ sole tally drifted over the pan in the seventh. Marshall opened with a single and was ushered homeward on Forsythe’s single and a} pair of infield outs, The locals scored in the first frame. Reed doubled to left and ‘crossed on | Butcher's neat single. | Two more followed in the fourth | and §ifth stanzas. Shields doubled and was admitted home on Shestak’s one- base blow. The other sailed over when Reed singled, stole second and | counted on Butcher's tall double. Three tallies put the game in the DIRECTOR OF ATHLETIOS AT NEBRASKA.

SCORE IS TWELVE TO FOUR Topeka, Kan., Sept. 16.—Lincoln took the opening game of the series NEW COACH LOOKS OVER HUSKER GREW | Dr. Stewart Takes First Real| Squint at Nebraska Uni Foot Ball Squad. PLEASED WITH PROSPECTS By JAMES E. LAWRENCE. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 16.—(Special.) —Dr. E. J. Stewart, the new all-year | coach at the University of Nebraska, climbed down from his perch ofi the hard board seats of the bleachers lin- | ing Nebraska field and took his first real squint at the| Cornhusker ioot; ball squad yesterday afternoon. | The new Husker coach is a sticker for rules, is he, and wheg the Mis- souri Valley conference decreed that | no coach should join the squad be- fore Friday, Dr. Stewart said it meant what itysaid, although down in Jay- hawker land they have no stich com- | punctions. Coach Olcutt of Kan has been busy with his proteges since the first of the week, in direct viola tion of the conference rules. What Stewart saw yesterday after- oon must have been mighty pleas- ing to the one into whose hands have been placed the responsibility for de- veloping another victorious eleven. Fifteen men, who won their letters |as members of the great ma- | chine of last year, were back into the fray, There are no Chamberlains or Rutherfords, or Halligans .among them, but nevertheless there is some | [ pretty smart foot ball material, and | the return of fifteen veterans is not | |calculated to bring gloom to any | coach.

HOLD JUNE MEETING, ALSO By RUSSELL PHELPS. Omaba is to retain its berth on the big horse racing loop of this section of the United States—the Great Western circuit. | The decision to hold an annual ‘mecling on the famous circuit second |only in importance in the turf world {to the Grand circuit was made at a meeting of the directors of the Omaha Driving club last week. This announcement is bound to 'arouse keen enthusiasm on the part of horsemen throughout the middle west, as nowhere this season has the Nebraskan metropolis been sur« passed as a live center of harness rac- ing.. The officers and directors of the driving club, consjsting of Edward Peterson, president; E. P. Peck, vice president; Otis M. Smith, secretary and . treasurer; Everett Buckingham, T. C. Byrne and M. C. Peters, were unanimous in the confident opinion that Omaha wants high-class turf of- ferings; they also made tentative plans that call for even a better pro- gram in 1917 than that furnished this year at the Great Western circuit card at the’ Speedway track, August 22 to 26, inclusive. Satisfied With Patronage. Officials of the club sponsoring the recent five days’ meeting here were well satisfied with “the patronage; while the coffers of the organization did not show a surplus after the ex- penses had been met, still it was an excellent showing for the Great Western premier in Nebraska, The brunt of the duties connected with the detailed work incident. to the meeting fell upon the shoulders of O. M. Smith, secretary and treas- {urer; and as an indication that the other directors were well pleased with his efforts and the results ob- tained, it was their urgent expression that he continue in the same capacity next year, There is some doubt, however, if the grainman-sportsman can find time in 1917 to attend to the secre- tary's work. Mr, Smith has sug- gested that the driving club engage the services of a permanent secretary —a_secretary who would devote his entire time to the affairs of the or- ganization'and be on the job the year round, Hold Two Meetings. It is almost a certainty that the lo= cal club will stage two meetings a year—one in June, marking the opening of the Nebraska Speed asso- ciation, and the ather in August on the Great Western.circuit. An-early meeting would be a boon to the hést of owners and agents who will spend the winter at the Speedway plant with their strings, as it would give them an opportunity to start on the fastest and most centrally lacated oval in the middle west before enter- ing upon the season's campaign. Omaha will probably have the same dates again next year for the Great Weute\'vn circuit meeting—the third week in August. Representatives of the driving club will attend the Great Western congress, to be held in the east some time in February, Fats and Leans to Battle Over Links 0f the Field Club Bring on the acrobats, Next Sat- urday at the Omaha Field club the “Fats" and “Leans” are going to stage a desperate golf mn::h :b de- cide a question of supremacy that has long rankled in the breasts of many Field club golf sharks, ; For, lo, these many moons have the gentlemen of the superabundance of avoirdupoins passed ridiculing. te- marks in the general direction of those who make the scales giggle with delight wheén they step upon them. Finally Bill Clark, who never - took any blue ribbon for his shape, bé- came peeved, his ire was aroused, and the wrath burned into flame, He started a hint for the leans who had been often subjected to the sar- casms of the fats and the challerge was hurled and accepted, The bload- thirsty match will be played this com- m%r?a;ulr)day. J 4 % tef Dunn J. B. Fradenberg, Do Sumney, Al Krug, George I;!rllnc. | Fred Wearne and J. A. Abbott are some of ‘the heavyweights enlisted on the side of the fats, .fpretty‘ formid- able array. But Clgrk merely grins and an- nounces ‘Sam Reynolds is a lean, Sam is kind of a fifty-fifty chap on the weight thing, but Clark insists he's lean and is going to play. He also |says Alec Rutherford belong on his | side, showing that Bill intends to stop at nothing to gain a victory, Other |recruits he lined up are Otto Bay- man, C. M. Richard and 'R. H, peaucharr;p. Clark figures on turning in a 70 himself and believes his' Mas. terful golf will inspire his fellow- lan$ to play away over their heads with the. result that the fats will be ignominiously defeated, subdued, van- quished and “destroyed, Federal Farm Loan Board is at Denver Denver, Colo., Sept. 16.~The claims of the Rocky mountain region to one of the farm loan banks to be located at Denver were presented to the fed- eral board at a hearing here today.
