MOTOR BOAT men TO hGET
Lay Plans for a Real River and Lake
Power Boat Club.
MAY CONNECT TWO WATERS
Plan IL TO Have n Canal, So Owners
May Keep Their Boats on River
and stiII Visit at the
Lake.

With an ultimate purpose Of making the
Missouri river accessible by means OF a
connecting canal to motor boats on Carter
lake, and vice versa, DR.. j. B. F1ckes has
called a meeting OF the motor boat owners
OF the lake and river for Monday noon. be-
tween the hours OF Il and /, in his office.
724 City National Bank building. The in
tention 10 to organize and get busy at once.
DR.. F1ckes was one OF the late excursion
lists down the river from Sioux City and
is enthusiastic over the possibilities and
pleasures OF river motoring.
The name OF the new club probably will
be the Missouri River Motor Boat asso-
ication. Although the canal is more or
less thing OF the future. motoring of the
river by enthusiasts Is going to be very
much a thing OF the present
property owner and an old river man
has Offered to build the club a pier, run
way and possibly a boat house near the
Bluffs pumping station, on the Iowa side
Of the river. DR.. F1ckes says that dozen
motorists have already signified their in
tentlons of going in with him on such a
proposition. and that the river harbor. as
preached by the river man, is an assured
thing. The worst trouble experienced IN
keeping boats on the river 80 far, says Dr.

Fickes, is that there has been no respon-
sible person to take charge Of them.
Thieves have ruined 500 worth Of property
for the sake of rs cents worth Of brass.
Under the new order this will be changed.
The proposed canal into Carter lake will
enable the gasoline seamen to avail them
selves OF the social advantages of the lake
and still have the great pleasure OF river
boating
Engineers have pronounced the plan OF a
canal as feasible although there are sew
eral difficulties that loom large upon first
consideration. In the first place the level
OF the lake is generally higher than that
of the river This can be obviated by two
water locks. Then the lake is stocked
with fish that would at once escape TO the
river, IL II were not for the fact that
especially prepared fish gates and nets can
be devised to keep them in.
Aside from all the owners and operators
Of boats DR. F1ckes has also invited any
members OF the park board and the Com
mercial club who wish to attend.
There is mistaken idea prevalent"
said the doctor, that II your engine stops
you must necessarily drift down the river
until you can get It to going again This
is not the case. There are numerous eddies
In which you can anchor and tinker with
your engine TO your hearts content. How
ever, you can't steer TO shore without
power
But what II you should run out OF gas?''

High School Plans
a Strong Schedule
for the Gridiron
Indications Are for Another Good
Team of Foot Ball Warriors
This Fall.

Omaha High school is planning siren
uous year in foot ball for the coming
season, melting all OF the larger cities
around Omaha on the gridiron and some
of the best of the Nebraska town teams.
The annual two games will be played with
Lincoln, which is Omaha's greatest rival
for the honors of the state of Nebraska.
Last year Omaha won the state cham
pionship by a close margin, defeating the
Lincoln lads by a few scores to the good
on the two games totals. The Missouri
Valley championship, however, was lost
by the Omaha warriors, st. Joseph defeat
ing them at St Joe.
The prospects Of having another of the
big schools OF Chicago come here for a
Thanksgiving game are rather poor, ac-
cording to II. L. earns. manager OF the
athletics for the high school. 1t is a big
risk to take because II 1t SHOWS or rains
on Thanksgiving day and people do not
turn out to the game the expenses Of
bringing the Chicago eleven here puts the
athletic board badly in debt. However, on
the game with Wendell Phillips OF Chicago
at vinton park last Thanksgiving day
Omaha took in much money
The schedule so far includes Nebraska
City. here September 30; Norfolk. Neb..
there October Z; Sioux City. here October
S Beatrice, there November 4; St. Joseph.
here November IL. This leaves four open
dates. october IA and 30 and November IS

In spite OF the most atrocous umpir-

ahead of the Hyphens in the postponed
the victory 4 to 2. Umpire Casey was
woefully mixed on balls and strikes and
apparently there was no excuse for it,
and while he almost uniformly favor
ed Springfield Charestown a decision
against a visiting player in the ninth re-
suited in the only really live feature of
the game. Henderson, a new man who
had been giving a good account of him
self, was called out on strikes His ire
was up and he hurried his stick at Casey,
who stood back of the pitchers box
. Then he ran out to that gentleman and
would have eaten him up but for the
latters superior size. After a little ar
gument he gathered up his paraphernalia
and left the grounds on a run, falling
down as he went, but at that time it
was apparent that his feelings had
changed somewhat
The game was slow throughout
Wachtel easily outshone Daley getting
nine strikeouts to Daley's one, and he
was robbed of more credit by the ragged
umpiring.. Murray was not up to his
usual standard, and two or three times
the locals seemed petrified when prompt
action would have brought good results
Brattleboro connected with Daley's de-
livery freely, but 1t was usually for fly
balls which the fieders readily gathered
In The score:
