CHURCH UNION IS COMPLETE
Knox and Second Presbyterian Con-
s~olidation Consummated Sunday.
REV. N. H. BURDICK LEAVES CITY
breaches Farewell to His C~OngreEa-
tIOn and VIII Start Today
for Ills New Field
mt Helena.

By a service, simple but impressive, the
Second Presbyterian church and the Knox
Presbyterian churches ceased to exist and
a new church, the North Presbyterian, was
created Sunday. The union of the two
churches was contaminated at the meeting
of the two congregations at the Second
Presbyterian at 4 p. m, when DR., W. 8
Fulton, in the name of the presbytery' de-
clared the old congregational organizations
at an end and the new one in full power
Then followed the installation of the mem
bers of the session of the new church, eight
from each of the old congregations. a
fellowship meeting was held last night at
Calvary Baptist church.
1t was fitting that the first act of the
new congregation was an act Of practical
charity. A collection was taken for a fam
fly in financial distress, the father with a
meager income and the mother suffering
from tuberculosis of the lungs.
Yesterday morning the last services were
held by the Second and the Knox congrega-
lions as such. At the Second church Rev
Newman Hall Burdick preached his fare
we'll sermon and took an affectionate fare
well of the men and women with whom he
has worked for five years. Rev. NJ. V
Higbee, pastor of the old knox church
will be the stated supply of the new con
solidated church until the regular pastor
has been selected.
Omaha daily bee., 1908-07-07

in the past. The new church will be ex-
pected to do more than twice as much as
either Of the old churches. There will be
a saving in economy OF administration In
the presence of numbers there is always
enthusiasm and power. More efficient work
can be done under the stimulation of large
numbers. l hope great things for this
North Presbyterian church, and l expect
great things from you. l count 1t a privi-
lege to have been with you at this time"
Omaha daily bee., 1908-07-07

Rev. Mr.. Burdick was in charge of the
services Of consolidation and offered the
Invocation. Rev. Mr.. Higbee read the scrip
ture lesson. DR.. w. S. Fulton OF West
minister church, as chairman Of the presby-
tery's committee and special commission
Of the presbytery to the service, read the
resolution adopted by the presbytery auth
oriZing the union of the two churches.
Now in behalf of presbytery,' ne said,
at the conclusion of the reading, land lin
obedience to its commands, l declare that
you who formerly were members of Second
Presbyterian and Knox Presbyterian
churches of Omaha are now members Of
North Presbyterian church of Omaha, and
as such the session is authorized to enroll
your names"
DR.. Fulton commended the consolidation.
1T seems to me- he said, that there is
a better chance before this new church than
there has been before any other Christian
church in Omaha for more glorious, useful
and efficient work. Better work will be
expected than from either of the churches

SUNNY LANDS 2l6 TROT
AT COUNTY FAIR RACES

In the country. with the exception of
the futurtty, and this victory rounds
out an admirable record. 1t Is also
conclusive proof that a good man with
q horse Is a good man with q colt II
the youngster Is of stake horse calibre.
Up to two years ago KNAPP Mccarthy,
another veteran Strainer, had never
done much in the way Of colt training,
but his excellent work with Siliko is
now a matter of history.
II The Harvester never doe anything
more in the racing line his position in
turf history is secure.
The brown pacing gelding, Gyp Wall
nut, although no won the free -for-all
trot and pace Saturday, was percep-
tibly off, and couldn't go fast enough
to keep warm.
II SOME one were to offer a prize for
the best kept half-mile track in the
State. it's a question which would re-
ceive the BOBBY. Trenton or Olympic
Park.
Doc Bodenweiser's bay mare, Edyth
B, won her race in q very Impressive
manner and foots up like quite q good
race mare; with q careful wintering
she ought to be quite a horse pext
year.
The coming matinee event on Octo-
Der "a will be the last this season. and
the last chance for the fast 2-year-old
trotters In the association to compete
for the cup as 2-year-olds, and they
cannot win fame by standing In the
stable. They should get put and con-
test with youngsters of their age. If
they do not win the cup they will gain
In reputation. The colt that is raced
and beaten viii sell for more money
that the one that Is kept in the stable,
If he shows gameness, Is good gated
end has size and substance.
II Is reported that q. A. Oatman, has
traded the brown pacing gelding Strong
Heart, who was in the string of Cliff
Woodruff in the spring, for a trotter
that can do things, which will be In
Woodruff's outfit this week, and will
startle the natives before the snow
flies.
It is believed that the chestnut stall
hon., IUTu WIKI, James buTIlS y re-
cent purchase, will be brought to New
ark for the last matinee on October
"a, and entered in the 2:2s trot. In a
conversation with the writer Saturday
Mr.. Barns said nothing would please
him better than to win the president
cup. Judging from what the stallion
can show in his work, he should win
easy, and II is the one best bet that he
will jolt the anvil chorus.
Fred BalIantine's bay pacing mare,
Danish Girl, 2:15A, will start next
week. on Wednesday in the 2:15 pace,
and with Earl Pitman behind her she
looks good for first place. although the
bay mare Elsa, by Brown Hal, Is a
hard nut to crack should she be a
starter.
The bay gelding. Riverside, formerly
owned by James Burns, and now the
property of Thomas Devlin, Of Eliza
beth, won his first race at the matinee
event at Olympic Park Saturday.
Riverside Is a very much improved
horse since he went to Betsy Town,
and in the second heat went Il good
game race, coming the last quarter In
35h seconds. Devlin has given him
very few fast miles in his work and It
looks as though he would thrive on
this brand Of training.

had been placed for weeks. Besides,
the game In question waa lost before
Walsh was called upon, Detroit hay-
ing batted White out of the box and
scored three runs in the frst inning.
Played with Nowsrk IN ,1Oes.
Walsh sprouted out as a ball player
in the coal mining regions near Wilkes
barre, Pa. like Brown, of tho Chicago
Nationals, and Covaleski, of PhiHr
dslphia, before he discovered that he
could carr more by throwing a moist
ball than with pick and shovel. His
nrst professional engagement was with
the Meridian club in the Connecticut
League.
II was there that Walter w. Burn
ham, then manager of the Newark
team. discovered tho man who not many
years afterward was the means OF WIN
ming the worlds championship for the
Chicago team. Burnham hmm e6iately
recognized In Walsh q coming star. At
the Am time he purchased a catcher,
Ira Thomas, who Is none other than the
boy who hit 1903 on the Detroit team
in the American League this season.
This pair of diamonds In the rough
was brought to Newark near the close
OF the 1903 season. Thomas was still
raw in those days and was dropped
after q short trial, though two years
later he blossomed into a star and
helped Providence win the Eastern
League pennant.
Walsh looked the goods the very. first
day he stepped into the box here. His
fast ball shot over the plate with the
speed of q shell from a t~hirteen-jnch
gun. Two weeks after his arrival here
Walsh was drafted by. the Chicago
Americans. and, by the way, he Yves
the first player ever drafted from the
Newark Eastern League club.
Went to Mexico with sox.
The miner accompanied the White
Sox to Mexico on the training trip in
1904, but he did little more than warm
the bench that season. The following
year Walsh mastered the spitball with
such success that he became Chicago's
nainstay In the box. It was his pitch
ing more than the work of any other
player that won the pennant for the
White Sox in 1905, and 1t was his pitch
ing that enabled the "hitless wonders
to beat the Chicago Nationals In the
worlds series.
Walsh used the spitball this season
with greater success than any other
pitcher. He gave one less base on
balls than the number Of games he
pitched, which Is remarkable, even for
q man who employs the wet delivery.
Were the spitball legislated out of base
bali Walsh might become only an or
binary pitcher, but It Is still permitted,
and he should have full credit for using
every at his command.
Bill Donovan had the best winning
percentage among the American League
twirlers during the past season. but
he worked only at select times, when
he was feeling just right. Walsh
finished second and Adrian Joss, of
Cleveland. third. RUDE Waddell, Of st.
Louis, held the strikeout record. In
thirty-two games he famed al bats

John Splan must be moro thar
pleased with his phenomenal list OF
victories by The Harvester, 2:0S%. He
was the one colt he picked out of the
Walnut Hall Farm consignment last
January as deserving of special adver-
Using, and the manner in which he
doomed the son of Walnut Hall was a
surprise.
without the efficient aid of the sill
v~er-tongued Splan it is easy to imagine
that the unbroken youngster would
have sold for e small price, for no had
shown nothing to indicate a world
heater.
The Harvester, by winning the Ken
lucky Futurity, has stamped himself
as the great colt of the year. He is a
remarkable colt, and has upset all
Previous ideas that a colt could not be
a great ~3-year-old race winner, without
having had q preparation as a 2-year-
old.
When August Wilhelm, of Milwaukee,
paid SO, 900 for the son OF Walnut Hall
last January at a public auction he
was somewhat severely criticised in
some quarters for giving so much
money for O practically unbroken
youngster. It vas pointed out that
while he might ultimately develop into
q great aged horse, he had absolutely
no CHARGE of winning any part of the
purchase money back in the futurities
to which he was eligible. When the
new owner Immediately turned him
over to Geers the wiseacres considered
that another disaster had occurred, for
the silent nan had no reputation as a
colt trainer. What the colt has done
is now history. Starting first in a purse
race at Syracuse, N. Y, he followed
up that victory by winning the Stock
Farm and Horse Review futurities at
Columbus, and capped the climax by
his great victory in the Kentucky fu-
turity.
In the third heat of this race he re-
duced the. record for the event a half
second. IT Is also worthy Of note that
it was Geers's first victory Of the great
Kentucky classic. Geers had won prac-
tically all of the most important stakes

After Finishing Sixth ia Opening
Heat He Won Race in
Impressive Style. :
BY WALTER 3. ERLER.

Two races at the county fir at olym-
pic Park yesterday provided a lot Of
real sport for a good-sized crowd Of
horsemen. Sunny Jim's victory in the
2:16 trot was the most sensational Of
the afternoon.
Sunny Jim looked like a beaten horse
In the opening heat, only having speed
enough to finish sixth. But in the
next three heats he went away from
his field, winning all three in impress
sive style. In this race Leona set q
pretty lively pace In the second heat,
forcing Sunny Jim to go the mile In
2:17A.
The crowd saw considerable horse
racing in the 2:12 pace. Wheeler
Wilkes, Danish Girl, Edward D, Mary
Del, Prince Onward and eastwood were
the %contenders. Wheeler Wilkes won
the race in straight heats. Edward d.
came strong in the last heat, finishing
second. Mary Del's best heat was the
second, when she finished third.
