Only German Used in
This Entertainment

Not a single word of English was spoken
during the annual Christmas program OF
the German club OF the Omaha High
school, held in the lecture room at the
public library yesterday afternoon. About
forty members and friends were present.
Only when one demure little maiden
passed around some divinity fudge dur
ing the refreshment hour following was
che spell of German broken. Not wish
ing to call the confectionery "gottlich"
and knowing no other proper German
name for it, the candy was given It's
usual name, divinity" Several German
folk songs were sung after the Christmas
tree had been lighted and the program
followed by an informal "refreshment
hour in which every one present took
part.

WANTED TO FARM JIMMY LAVENDER Chicago Cubs Intended to Send Former Holyoke
 Star to Montreal
 Without Trial

Commenting upon the defeat of Rube Marquard the other day by Jimmy Lavender, the ex-Connecticut leaguer, the New York Mail has the following:
 The career of young Mr. Lavender has been quite spectacular. He start ed from Montezuma, Ga, worked his way through the Connecticut league moved on to Providence and was tipped off to Murphy. Murphy then at tempted to shift him over to Mon treal, but was foiled Physically he is somewhat below the pitching normal as to brawn and general displacement, but he carries a funnel of smoke and a wicked curve ball, which, hooked onto his splitter makes him a fornlid- able opponent to grapple with
 "He recently trimmed OToole 1 to 0 in a twelve-inning game, shut out Pittsburgh and St. Louis a few days after this and now stalks down the western highway outlined against the sunset horizon with Marquard's gory scalp dripping a, stream of crimson from his belt.

AOL YOKE WINS THRILLING GAME
 IN IA INNINGS
(By Wa gnlear)

Careless play at critical times cost the Mechanics a victory in IA inn ing struggle at NeW1eld yesterday. The score; was Holyoke 4, Bridgeport 3, but the locals should have grabbed the decision before the 14th round. The biggest mistake came in the 10th. Red Fisher belted triple ito the left field fence with one down.. With the Hol- yoke infelds playing close Baker sent a liner to center. Hickey made. a good catch but Fisher was half way home and had to scramble back to, third. If he had been more careful he would have stuck on third and then could have scored on the sacrifice fly. Fish er's excuse after the game was that he made quick start in order to have seen, however that Bakers ef- fort was a, fly and he would have had ample time to return to third before the ball was caught.
 j Another thought1ess play was pulled by Bob Stow when he walked off sec ond in the 11th and was nabbed by Manning's quick throw. There was one out at the time and Venable had three balls and one strike. The chances are that either Venable or Bridges would have brought Stow home. Stow should be more careful on the bases. He has often been caught asleep this year.
 Although Freddy Gibbs twirled a good game he displayed poor judg- ment in pitching to Stankard The veteran has been hitting poorly this season but he collected a double and three singles yesterday. Tn spite of the fact that he had. been pounding low balls all afternoon, Gibbs served him another low one in the 14th and Stankard scored O'Hara with the win ming run. There were two out at the time and Gibbs had two strikes and one ball on the batter so he was foolish to give Stankard just what he wanted.
 Steve Manning, who hasn't pitched game in a month, had the Mechanics churning after the third. Red Fisher Buck Venable and Gibbs were the only ones to touch him.
 Venable played a great game at third and won the fans by eclouting a double and single. He showed him- self to be a quick thinking player on several occasions. Jack Spratt made several lightning stops and Tom Crook did a great piece of robbery in the 11th when he stopped Flanagan's smash.
 Bridgeport was ahead by 3 to 2 un- til the. seventh when Holyoke tied the score on Standards double and Man nings single. Then the teams battled then until the 14th. O'Hara singled, Flanagan sacrificed but Ahearn grounded out. Then Gibbs gave Stank- ard just what he wanted. and the big fellow hit safely scoring Manning The score:

.$6,OOO IN CASH
 FOR AUTO RACES
EXCITING EVENTS EXPECTED IN
 GALVESTON NEXT MONTH

Now, that the Tacoma, and Old Or chard race meets have become his- tory only one big event remains be- fore the running of the Vanderbilt and Grand Prize races in the fall This is the Galveston Cotton Carnival meet, Aug. 8, and 10, on the famous beach at Galveston, Tex. That city is becom- ing better known each year as the summer resort of the Southwest , The races are to be run over a com paratiVely short course on the beach this season-two and one-half miles making a, full lap five miles. This will insure the cars passing the grand stand at frequent intervals. In for mer years the chief criticism of the Ormond-Dayton course, about twenty miles it length, was that it was too long for the races to- be exciting.
 At the beach classic in Texas there will be none of the t'hippodrome" style of tracing. No appearance money is to be paid to any of the drivers, and no.:one team of the circus type will be able to go there and ''stall' through the events running the pro- grarnme to suit itself. All cars and drivers will enter on an equal basis and will be. forced to drive to win More than $6.000 in cash prizes is. of fered in addition to numerous trophies to be fought for. Cars will be- tim ed by. an electrical device registering to. hundredths@ of 8 second
