STROUD HOLDS ROURKES HOW THE—S_TAND. Won. Lost. Tie. Pct. Omaha . TR T W Louisville ... 1 1 1 .500 The chief perqunsite in obtaining a base ball victory, as we undeérstand it, is to dccumulate base hits at pro- pitious times and at the same time pre- vent the opposition from achieving similar ,success. . The Rourkes fell down on both jobs yesterday after- noon and the invading host breezed gaily through nine soft innings and gathered in a victory, 8 to 2. Thursday the Rourkovinians pum- melled Jimmy Moddleton, the hurling class of the American association, all over the lot. Yesterday a gent by the name of Stroud, who isn't such a much, madé monkeys out of our ath- letes. But such is life. On the other hand Messrs. Otto erz and Prince Gaskell had the day- lights hammered out of them. Accord- ing to an inside tip Pete Compton had twenty-five berries on yesterday’s fray and he informed his mates that if they didn’t make at least a dozen base hits he would cave in their skulls with a base bafl bat. The threat worked _ for the Distillers made seventeen safe swats, which is a gretty good average for one day. “_ ‘Platte Makes Double. With twodown in the opening _stanza_Albert Platte sailed a double over Earl Smith's bean and scored on Kirke's single to right. A double a Joshuah Billings, followed by m?on'l single counted another in the third and two were put over in ’tll,e fifth on hits by Billings, Compton and Whiteman, coupled with For- sythe's error, a ‘steal and an infield out. In the sixth Corriden singled and went, all the way to third on an in- _ field out. He scored on Billings 'third successive hit. A walk followed by hits by Platte, Kirke and Corriden :M two in the seventh and spelled the doom of Merz, Gaskell Stars Well. + Gaskell hastened in from the bull pen and subdued the Kentucky artil- lery in the eighth, but was nailed in the ninth for four hits, Whiteman doulled and scored on a similar blow by Platte. Smith nailed Platte when that athlete tried to stretéh his drive into a triple. Two more hits followed, but failed to do any damage, For eight innings Stroud held the Rourkes helpless. They made a few ' hits, but always flunked in the pinches. 1n the vinth they put over their lone two runs. & Ray Miller sfarted the noise by cracking a double to right and Mar- shall scored him with a double. Mar- shall then got himseli nailed second on the hidden ball trick. For- sythe singled to right and counted on ewpie Kilduff's triple to center, The same teams cla‘sh‘this afternoon © at J o'clock.

When the Cotner line had stiffened under its own goal, late in the fourth ! uarter, Mincer at quarter called for aptain Racely to try a place kick for the fourth time. But the Indian cap- tain refused and called the signal for a drop kick by Mincer, who responded nobly. Th’;- was the only score made dur- ing four quarters.of grimy, fierce and see-saw foot ball.

EFFORT TO KEEP REVENUES Beatrice, Neb, Oct. 6.—(Special Telegram.)—Senator Wadsworth of New York, addressed a large crowd this evening at the Paddock opera | house. He was introduced by Samuel Rinaker. During his address the speaker covered national issues en- tirely, and urged the voters to cast their ballots for the Hughes' and Fairbank’s ticket on election day. He said-in part: “Taxation is a necessary incident in the maintenance of the goverriment which society erects to protect it from the forces acting from wthin or | without which unrestrained, would destroy society. The average man un- derstands the necessity for taxes and makes no complaint, if the burden is, distributed equitably over the wealth | of the country, and provided also, | that he is sure that he is getting a dollar's worth of service or every dol- lar he contributes. Republican Plar, It has been the policy of the re-| publicans to relieve the tax-payers of the United States of a considerable portion of the direct burden by col- lecting tax at the custom houses. By this method under the protective tariff system, the foreigner was charged with license fee for the privilege of | selling his goods in our great |narkel," and to a considerable extent, these | license fees helped in the support of the government. This was a proper and wise policy, one acquisced in by the people of the country and prac- ticed by nearly every great nation on earth. \ There is no evidence that our peo- ple desire a change in the methods of imposing taxation for support of the government, when the democrats came into power in 1913, there was a | surplus of 149,000, which under wise | financial management was increasing. : The War Ttax Law. In spite of this fact Mr. Wilson and his colleagues set revolutionize our whole fiscal sys-| tem by the adoption o fthe emergency or war tax law. We all began Iirk~} ing stamps. Was this duc to the| war? Not at all. The first demo- | | matric congress increased the appro- | priations by about $180,000,000 over | the appropriations of the last repub-| lican congress which they denounced | grossly extravagant. At the same| time the “revenue at the customs houses was steadily failing. Had the | republican tariif been maintained and | had the democrats refrained from ex- ceeding the appropriations of the last republican congress, there would have been no need of _that famous “war tax.” High Mark Exceeded. The last democratic congress ex- ceeded the highest mark of appropria- tions by the great sum of $150,000,- 000, not counting the increase due to the preparedness program. What do they care about appropriations? What od they care about spending money taken directly from the pockets of the people Why should they care, tribute as little as possible. The north- to work to| k ern democrats are bound %ands and foot to'their southern colleagues when | they ‘come to vote on the floor of con- gress. v Thus it is that the democratic party manages the finances of the United States. i Women for Hughes Pa}‘_ty _@s in Iowa Cedar Rapids, Ia, Oct. 6.—More than 7,000 persons crowded the sta- tion platform here this afternoon to greet the special train bearing the party of women making a transconti- nental campaign tour in the interest of Charles Evans Hughes, republican presidential nominee. Mrs. Nelson O’Shaughnessy and Congressman James W. Good of Towa were speakers at a mass meet- ing in a local theater, and a number of street meetings were held. Ames Student Team Goes to 'Dairy Congress Ames, Ta, Oct. 6.—(Special.)—The Towa State college dairy cattle judg- ]iflg team, which won first over Kan- sas, Nebraska and South Dakota uni- versities in dairy judging at the Wa- terloo Dairy congress show this week, is being sent to the National Dairy congress collegiate contest at Soring- field, Mass. Boosters of Ames and others interested in Towa dairying raised $240 at the Waterloo show to help toward the Ames team's ex- penses to Massachusetts. The Ames men will compete against some eigh- teen college judging teams at Spring- field, including those western teams which were beaten at Waterloo. VALLEY ELEVENS OPEN THE SEASON Nebraska, Missouri and Wash- ington Start the Fray on Their Home Grounds. CORNHUSKERS MEET DRAKE With the games today, all of the foot ball teams of the Missouri Val- ley conference will open their 1916 season and the chase for the valley title, now held by Nebrgaska, again will be fully under way. All conference elevens will play today excepting the Kansas Aggies, who met Southwest- ern at Manhattan yesterday. - Ne- braska, Missouri and Washington will open their schedules with games on their home grounds, the Cornhuskers playing Drake in the first game be- tween two conference teams, the Tigers contesting with Central college of Fayette and the St. Louis squad meeting Rose Polytech. Ames will play Highland Park at Ames. Kansas will go to Urbana to play Illinois in one of the few contests be- tween members of the Big Nine and the Missouri Valley conference. The first time the Jayhawkers and Illini met the Kansans took the long end of the score. But that was twenty-four years ago. Chief interest centers in the Nebraska-Drake game, with new coachs at each school, and Nebraska | having lost many of last season’s | stars. The combat will give foot ball enthusiasts their first opportunity of the season to view Stewart's team. Lincoln reports have been optimistic jand Drake, beaten last year 48 to 13, is not overly confident, particularly in view of the slim victorv over Penn- sylvania college last Saturday. Missouri expects little difficulty in the combat with Central, having a team composed of many veterans and with a heavy line. Few reports have come out from St. Louis regarding Washington, but Edmunds probably will have a team capable of overcom- ing Rose Poly. Lexington Cleans Hastings.
