CAPTAIN FRANCIS PLANS
POST-SEAS0N SERIES
Crafty Manager Discovers Golden Pos
sibilities If Nebraska Teams Fin=
ish Season as They Are
Now Lined UP

If Buck Francks, the hustling and
have his way about it, the western league
season would terminate next fall with the
clubs lined up just as they are now, as
far as the leading aggregations are con-
cerned. Francks desires that Omaha win
the pennant and that Lincoln finish in
second place-and good second at that
1t is a post-season series that Francks
is looking forward to, and he is convinced
that If the two Nebraska teams finish one
and two in the race one of the most
exciting series ever played in the west will
take place at Omaha and Lincoln.
OF course, the Nebraska capital and
metropolis are bitter rivals. This is shown
in many ways, and especially all forms of
athletic contests in which representatives
of the two cities compete That there is
rivalry between the two ball clubs there
is no doubt, and the fact is highly evident
every time the Ducklings hook up with
the Rourkes.
'It is always a ball game when Omaha
and Lincoln meets,' is common express
sion around the circuit, and there have
been but very few times this year when
one or the other club has not won by
great finish and with nothing to spare.
The players themselves 'go in for blood"
and consequently hard-fought battle
from start to finish is almost invariably
the result.
Just now Manager Francks is figuring
out what a money making venture post
season series between the clubs, in case
they finish as they are now lined up,
would be-. He declares that the attend
ance would be tremendous, and If seven
games could be played. with the majority
of them in Omaha, both clubs would
benefit to great extent and make in this
short tina enough money to start off the
next season.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1O-Claude
Kern, the former crack football player of
the University of California, is back from
Seattle, where he has been since the
quake, and has located in Oakland. He
intends to compete in the games of Amer
ican football which Snedigar, Kittrelle
and several other ex-U. c. gridiron stars
have planned to pull off this fall.
Kern says he played lots of football the
past winter as a member of the Seattle
team and recounts one game in which he
participated while the snow was several
inches deep on the field.
Football followers throughout the
northwest have little use for Rugby; in
fact they won't countenance the English
game at all, according to Kern.

There Is not a real good youngster

major league trials this fall and next

"As it is, as soon as they know where

PORT LAVACA, Texas. Aug. 1O.--A
ten-pound boy has arrived at the home
of the Rev. Abraham G. Rosebush,

eighth. The father, who is 65 years old,

The Rev. Mr.. Rosebush's grandfather.
John Rosebush of Staunton, Va, lived to

The Rev. Mr.. Rosebush was wounded
five times in forty-one battles in the

ear shot off at the age of p years, he
was brought home and, thinking he was
dying, was married. But instead Of dying

JAKE H0L TMAN MAY NOT
COME OUT HERE TO START
Erratic Work at Barrier in Bygone
Seasons Responsible for Rumor
from Saratoga to That
Effect
Special TO The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug 1O.-There is
a well-confirmed rumor in local racing
circles that Jake Hoffman will not be in
vited to do the starting next winter at
the race track of the New California
Jockey club. Holtman's work at the
barrier last season was away below par
and he got into disfavor with the pub
lie to such an extent that the officials
do not consider him a drawing power
The honesty Of the starter is not or
never has been questioned, but he simply
fell into a rut from which he seemed
to be unable to extricate himself. Holt
man is not at all popular with the horse
men and his non-appearance at the win
ter meeting in California will not cause
much regret.
Just who will assist Dick Dwyer on the
coast is not known. If there is no rae
ing at Los Angeles the probability is
that Dwyer will do the barrier work
without assistance.

HANLON SAYS SMITH HAS
ALL OF PITCHERS NEEDS
Cincinnati Manager Tells of Require
ments of First Glass TWirler,
Which Are Many and
Varied
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 10.-Manager Han
lon of Cincinnati the other day IN the
course of a discussion on the new Gin
cinnati pitcher, Fred Smith, late of Terre
Haute, spoke unreseDVedly of the quail
ties essential to a successful pitcher.
Speaking of Smith, Manager Hanlon ad-
mitted that he had neither the speed
of a. Rusie nor the curves of Fraser.
"But he has a good change of pace"
Hanlon added, "a nice assortment of
curves and good control. These are the
qualities that will make him successful,
1 think"
Manager Hanlon's ideas of the pitcher
who succeeds are summed UP in these
terse sentences:
''He must have fair change of pace"
"He must be able to put the ball where
he wants It,"
"And he must know how to mix them
up
"Those are the essentials of success
full pitcher today.
In conclusion, Mr.. Hanlon said: Elm
my opinion, two of the greatest pitchers
that ever lived were Dumping McMa-
hon of the old Baltimore team, and
Frank Dwyer, for years with the Reds.
Neither of them had extraordinary speed,
and they knew just where every ball they
pltcneu was GUMS anu 'iiA' Nouii'Su A01
more than any physical superiority either
may have shown in his work.
This boy Smith seems to be built on
the same lines as these men. He has the
batsmen guessing all the time, instead of
the batsmen having him figuring. The
result is that he has been getting away
with his efforts nicely since he Joined
the Reds, and believe he'll get better as
his acquaintance with the big league
batsmen ripens. 1t certainly would be
sweet to develop another Mcmahon or
Dwyer, for there are too few of them in
the game these days"

Coaching Expensive

generally the services of at least four
coaches and trainers to be paid for DUR

pected the Feud Would End.

The clerical organs OF Paris have
united in declaring that Cardinal Rich
ard. archbishop of Paris, will not sub
nit to the new proposals of the gov
eminent regarding church leases and
their Rome dispatches caiegorically In
sist that Pope Plus is resolved to main
tain integrally the original text offered
by the French episcopate and to refuse
even to discuss the governments regu-
lations relative to the liability OF par
ish priests for the keeping up Of
churches and the exclusion OF foreign
priests or members of the dissolved
orders as parties to contracts. Whether
these inspired statements are only
part of the diplomatic game remains to
be seen.
Premier Clemenceau now admits
frankly that as far as he is concerned
he never expected the church to &C.
cept the conditions as to leases, but
he says that Minister of Education
BRAND did and that the cabinet unani-
mously accorded him chance to con-
clude the negotiations upon the terms
state.
1.-The future will show which is
right; whether he is the victim of an
illusion or a mistake" the premier
added
"If no agreement is reached what
will happen?" Premier Clemenceau
was asked
Nothing very terrible" he replied.
IL think we will return to the solution
previously contemplated The churches
will remain open, that goes without
saying, and 1t is condeded without
lease to the clergy, and the state de-
partment or commune, as the case may
be, will bear the cost Of keeping up
repairs to church out OF the funds
of the church itself. But rest assured
the government will go no further In
the matter Of concessions. The re-
publican majority in the chamber Of
deputies will not indorse it nor would
any member of the cabinet, nor even
M. BRAND, favor yielding more"
